Smelly fart date

[SausageSimon]

A couple of weeks ago I went on a date with a guy I used to work with years ago, he got in touch out of the blue and he's really lovely so I thought why not.

We had an excellent time in a nearby city and he showed me some great places, we had a meal and then went to a bar. It started getting busy and we were sat on some settees and all was good!
Then started the smelliest rotten egg farts, truly vile. It got to the third lot of this disgusting odour and I had to say something incase he thought it was me. There was a group of guys behind us and I assumed it was one of them so I said to my date how disgusting it was and that it was making me feel sick. I said I wouldn't be going out if my farts were so bad! (I've only had these awful kind of farts with an upset stomach)

Soon after it was time to head home and the date ended well! Unsure if I fancied him but I had a great time so we arranged another date.

So tonight we went out, he picked me up and as we were driving along and chatting that exact same vile smell wafted it's way around the car

I'm not being dramatic when I say it's the worse fart I have EVER smelt.

He wants to see me again but I honestly hope I never smell that smell ever again in my life!! It's a shame cause he's a really nice man but I can't cope.

Can nerves cause this? He's big on the gym and I also wondered if it was the result of protein shakes or a diet he's on

AIBU to not want to see him again?

If it could be guaranteed I wouldn't have to endure another rotten egger I'd probably be up for it

If you are at a point in your life where you feel perfectly able to dump a man for his smelly arse, do it.

Motivations notwithstanding, something like this would seriously give me the ick so that would kinda be that.

What would possibly prevent the ick would have been him in the car acknowledging it at least a bit - the oh terribly sorry and at least looking SLIGHTLY abashed.

Because the ick wouldn't necessarily come from the farting itself - we all do it - more the disgustingness of someone being blase about it. You'd wonder what other horrible habits they might have, or if they were grimly teenage about personal hygiene It's not nice. It's grim to inflict on someone else. At least acknowledge that and not look like a complete grimebucket.

A lot of you seem to be fart experts. How can you be sure he eats too much protein and that’s the cause of his stinkbombs? It may be something else. Beans, hummus?
friendineed would you really send someone a text discussing and analysing his farts? I am dumping you coz your farts are rotten, poisonous and sneaky I would never do such thing. I would give him another reason for dumping him. But dump him OP must!

I woke up in the early hours of this morning and woke my husband up panicking about a gas leak.
There was no gas leak. It was him.
This is where it ends up.

@DjMomo I'd only say that as a way of helping him, as he seemed unaware. If it's what he eats then he could be made aware, stop, and get a nice gf

If it was just once on both dates too I could assume it was accidental and might not happen all the time, but honestly it was constant for quite a while on the first date (when I thought it was the men behind us!) and it was dreadful!

I completely get everyone farts and that some people can't control it, he didn't seem embarrassed by it really! You can read on someone's face or with their body language when they're embarrassed and I didn't get that feeling at all

I should've added at the start that I have an excellent sense of smell which won't help at all! A work colleague kindly pointed out I could be a sniffer dog, I didn't appreciate the implication I could be any kind of dog

To be perfectly honest I don't think he's for me anyway for several reasons, he's great and I like his personality but I get that friends feeling more than anything romantic, the farts certainly haven't helped in that department but I don't think there was a physical attraction there to begin with!

@FenellaVelour that really did make me laugh so so funny, is he a frequent flatulator too?

is he a frequent flatulator too?

sadly yes, usually at night. I’ve had to buy an array of aroma diffusers to stop our bedroom smelling of poo and gas. I’m seriously debating separate rooms 😂 I love him, but sometimes it’s too much!

I love that MN is analysing these farts for you OP

FWIW I've got a really sensitive nose, and it would be a deal breaker for me.

Farting is one thing; however, not apologising for it is something completely different.

Could it be his breath? (Just thinking about someone I know, took me about six months to realise).

Eww wouldn’t it be worse if it was his breath , imagine kissing that.. 🤢

EthelMayFergus only if he's farting through his mouth. If it was his breath the smell would be there every time he opened his mouth.

OP, tell him you had fun but you're just not into wearing gas masks and that you'd need one in order to keep seeing him. Perhaps a kink dating site might find him a suitable girlfriend?

I would not carry on with this .

I've got ulcerative colitis & if I'm having a flare, my farts can be deadly. I find farts hilarious, BUT I would cancel a date if my stomach was kicking off. I dated a guy for 6 months before I farted in front of him.

I used to fart every time I went into a bookshop. No idea why. Not stinky, just noisy.

I fart bloody anywhere, btw. Situation be damned. Limited dietary control.

@Toria70 Never have I witnessed such dedication to figuring out the root of a man's gas, it makes me proud to be a mumsnetter. It really does bring a tear to your eye much like the farts

@PickAChew that made me laugh! It took me a second, I was looking through the photos wondering what Chew could possibly mean

My exbf was like this and it was really really bad. He did have IBS but I also have a very sensitive sense of smell and the two combined were a total mismatch. We didnt split up because of it but I nearly vomited on a couple of occasions because it was that bad.

Strangely the bathroom never smelt bad after he had been. Possibly because he leaked eggy/diarrhoeay farts all day long

He was very immature about it though which was the main problem. He found it hilarious and that really wasnt was I was looking for him a man. Trying to shove my head under the duvet, or calling me over to his specifically because he'd farted was just so juvenile. I'm 34. Even my children thought it was weird.

Maybe he's got IBS. X

That would be a deal breaker for me most people manage to hold farts in when in company. If my gut/but was too poorly to hold a smelly trump in I'd have to defer the date and bosh some tablets.

I'd forever associate him with foul trumps!

Get him some of these for the next date

I was going to give you a list of suggestions for outdoor dates but then I read this:

the farts certainly haven't helped in that department but I don't think there was a physical attraction there to begin with!

The path of true love is never smooth but I guess it doesn’t have to stinky.

On a side note, isn’t it amazing how other people’s farts smell so much worse than our own? (I feel it was worth logging on at 1am to contribute that!)

Wishing you all men with perfumed butts and/or strong sphincter muscles.
