Shall I give him a chance

I’m 28, met a guy same age, overall he’s nice and treats me with respect. However in almost every conversation he says somethings I find sexist and stereotypical. Examples: a woman’s shouldn’t be dominating in bed, a woman’s role is to look after a home, women get scared easily, women are weaker. I call him out on it every time and he claims they are just words and he don’t mean to be sexist, he says it’s just his way of talking. I don’t know whether to give him a chance. 10 years from now I don’t want to be married to someone telling me what my role is and is not. I hate sexism. What do you think?

God no. Why are you even considering him!? Raise your standards!

SkySmiler · 05/06/2020 12:25

God no, absolutely not, he IS sexist, simples.

You are not compatible.

If it's that prevalent then it isnt just a slip of the tongue without thinking. He is deeply misogynistic

Also, you've TOLD him it isnt ok to talk to you like that, yet it continues. Which is deeply disrespectful. And also, probably intentional. As a 'you dont control me' attitude.

If he were saying 'fuck you're every sentence and you asked him to stop and he didnt, how would you feel? ...because tbh, he is actually saying 'fuck you, and everyone like you'

And he may be being nice in other ways atm, but considering he looks down on women, he will figure out that you are one once you stop being all new and shiny, and his contempt for them will transfer to you.

Ultimately he is not a nice person. And he doesnt respect you.And theres no way I would choose to love my life with someone like that.

*live my life

Are you desperate or something ?

Not sure what is worse, that young men think like this or that young women accept it.

bigchris · 05/06/2020 12:35

In almost every conversation??

Bin him now and tell him why !

Bunnymumy · 05/06/2020 12:40

I bet if you tell him to sling his hook because you wont be spoken to like that, he'll be adding 'you're being over sensitive/crazy/overreacting/harsh' or something similar. Must be because you're a woman eh? xD Seriously he is a nasty shit, get rid of him.

Raidblunner · 05/06/2020 12:40

That may be his way of talking but it doesn't make it right. He's not the one for you.

EatDessertFirst · 05/06/2020 12:40

Eww!! How does him talking like that not make your fanny slam shut?!

Get him tone!

EatDessertFirst · 05/06/2020 12:40

*gone. Too disgusted to spell.

HollowTalk · 05/06/2020 12:42

Oh come on! Raise your standards!

CodenameVillanelle · 05/06/2020 12:43

Obviously not! What a silly question!

Cordial11 · 05/06/2020 12:43

For the looking after the house comment alone ... NO ! RUN!

StSaulOfSnacks · 05/06/2020 12:44

It's not his way of talking, it's his way of thinking.

TooTrueToBeGood · 05/06/2020 12:46

Why on earth would you?

He's making it very clear from the get-go that he expects you to be totally subservient to him. That doesn't sound like any kind of fulfilling relationship for you and if this is him in the honeymoon phase god knows what he'll be like when he feels secure in the relationship.

ohwhattodowithmylife · 05/06/2020 12:46

Run, run run. That is how he thinks about women. He doesn't see you as his equal.

Rainycloudyday · 05/06/2020 12:46

Seriously raise your standards. I can’t believe you’re even considering anything other than blocking and ignoring this sexist creep. If he talks like this in the early days can you imagine what behavioural he would display down the line?! Why on earth are you even having to ask this?!

pinkyredrose · 05/06/2020 12:48

just words pahahaha! He's a twat. Bin.

NoMoreDickheads · 05/06/2020 12:48

No. It's not just words, he's telling you how he'll treat you.

Pourchocolate · 05/06/2020 12:48

Ugghhh, get rid. You shouldn’t even be considering this.

Crystalspider · 05/06/2020 12:50

Sexist control freak that generalises women.
Show him that you are a strong woman that doesn't put up with BS

TorkTorkBam · 05/06/2020 12:55

He thinks it then he says it.

You object. He does it again.

He must like how you are an obedient little lady who knows her place. Fun to have a feisty one who makes some noise but ultimately knows the man can do what he likes and sticks with him.

Maybe buy some ribbons for your hair? They could have feminists slogans on he can read while you blow him.

Virtue signalling is cheap. If you are anti-sexist then act like it. Even if you have to say no to man and he won't like it faints

Justyouraveragehuman · 05/06/2020 12:57

Nooo! Don’t give him a chance!
