new bloke follows porn stars on twitter - ditch?

[cheezy]

Believing that it's always a good idea to see what exists of a potential new boyfriend online, I googled the bloke I've been seeing. In amongst the hundreds of writers, journalists and generally worthy and interesting people that he follows on Twitter are a few porn stars/ escort type accounts. Maybe ten or 15 or so. I find this off-putting and think I should dump. Or am I being a prude? WWYD?

It would turn me off anyway. I don't think I'm a prude, but it would. Everyone is different, I know.

It would certainly be a huge red flag for me to watch out for.... I’m not sure I’d immediately dump but I would question who the person really was and what their values, belief systems are and who they look up to etc

I would. Not worth it.

What sort of thing do they post? If it was about getting safety regulations tightened or trafficking better identified then it could be ok.

GreyishDays the escort accounts are individual women, they are not advocating for changes in the law or anything.
I find it a bit sordid and can't understand why anyone in a professional role would have this sort of thing public

I think 10-15 is a lot especially.

My last ex's Twitter had a bit of this and it turned out he was obsessed with sex and became coercive, so any of this would be a red flag for me.

Yeah, my ex did that. On Instagram, he followed at least 200 of those kind of women... Then a week after having his baby, I found out he was a porn addict. It all made sense. And it also really messed with my head and my perception of myself.

Not all men who follow these women are bad or addicts, but it's quite a public (and juvenile) thing to do. I find it really disrespectful, too.

It would be a massive turn off for me. Something immature and sleazy about it. I’m not anti porn but as a PP has said, why not keep it private?

Escort services?
Nope, run.

Porn stars is bad enough but escorts? I could never be in a relationship that condones women being used as sex toys, so he'd be gone immediately

In the words of the Monty python crew;

"Run away, run away, run away .."

What actually strikes me - aside from.tbe obvious porn hound/sex industry (escort is just a nice word for prostitute) angle is that he doesn't even have the sense not to follow accounts that on his personal, public SM. Which his family, employer, potential employer may look at!

If you.must do that, it's for the private realm, not the public realm (and by that I mean porn, the prostitution isnt for any realm).

Even with the porn; following individual actresses takes it from "visual aid to for occasional wank" to personal interest innand following of particular porn actresses, which would be a step too far for me.

(And I have a tolerant attitude to porn, many on here wouldn't tolerate it due to ethical issues at all).

I would dump him. If he follows them then he must like watching porn and I wouldn't be happy with that. And it's even worse as he's happy for anyone to see he follows them via sm.

I probably wouldn't want to go out with someone who spends their time trawling through who I follow on Twitter.

I wouldn’t like that either. Although could they be spam bots or are they actual identifiable people? I found myself following a few porny looking accounts on Strava once and I hadn’t added them, I know it’s a different platform but it was some kind of spam problem.

Apologies, just seen you’ve checked them out.

Ditchy McDitch Ditch Ditch. 🚩

Yuck. Ditch.

@Saucy99 if I was online dating I’d be checking out a new potential boyfriend, better to find out now than 6 months down the line.

Do not get involved any further with this man.

At best it makes you question how smart he actually is to have followed such people and not have his account restricted or anonymous.

At worst it makes you think he’s into that stuff enough to bother searching them on twitter and to actively want to see what they post.

The escort accounts are the bigger beef for me. They are likely to have “OnlyFans” accounts where the rabbit hole of potential interaction goes deeper.

Major turn off...that's just embarrassing of him...so juvenile

No, yuck.
I would dump anyone with anything like that going on due to previous bad experiences in relationships.

I had two nice dinner dates with a guy. I then found he had a profile on something called fuckbook. Quite sleezy it was too. Didn't see him again
