Would this comment annoy you?

My bf made a comment that all women are needy and that I'm as needy as all women, he wouldn't elaborate on it though. Feel so pissed off about it, over reaction?

He's a sexist twat.

Doddlebug2000 · 21/11/2020 16:35

Same thoughts here

He's a misogynist twat. Does he have form for making comments like this?

MrsTerryPratchett · 21/11/2020 16:36

Needy? You needy to be single.

Misogyny is not a trait I am willing to put up with in a BF.

category12 · 21/11/2020 16:36

And men aren't?! Grin It's laughable to be honest.

And there's nothing wrong with having needs.

And he's a idiot sexist.

HotSince63 · 21/11/2020 16:38

"All women are needy, and you're as needy as all women".

"Well, I don't need you, so...".

NeonIcedcoffee · 21/11/2020 16:38

He's a misogynist. At least he's shown you. Dump him.

Doddlebug2000 · 21/11/2020 16:39

He wouldn't explain what he meant which was the most annoying part. Major turn off on my part!!

HotSince63 · 21/11/2020 16:41

He blurted out a misogynist comment and backed himself into a corner. He wouldn't explain because he couldn't.

Just dump him, he's a twat.

Hailtomyteeth · 21/11/2020 16:43

He's just heard it somewhere and said it to make himself feel good. Doesn't even know what it means.

So, do you needy him, or not?

Doddlebug2000 · 21/11/2020 16:45

I certainly don't needy anything from him

OP posts:
Fromage · 21/11/2020 16:46

He sounds like a whiny bitch baby with bullying tendencies, from that comment.

Phwoar. Not.

midsomermurderess · 21/11/2020 16:47

I think the only y important thing here is, does it annoy you.

EatDessertFirst · 21/11/2020 16:49

Ugh he sounds ghastly. What a misogynistic, fanny-drying pig.

Looks like he needys to piss off.

Requinblanc · 21/11/2020 16:52

He sounds like an immature, misogynist idiot...tell him to grow up and dump him. Complete turn off...

SpillingTheTea · 21/11/2020 16:59

Oh what a vile piece of shit.
My EX used to refer to women as slags. Some shop worker pissed him off and be came ranting to me about how much of a stupid slut she was. Safe to say I got rid. Disgusting behaviour.

HaggieMaggie · 21/11/2020 17:01

What he means is he wants to do what he wants when he wants without any compromise. If he has to compromise then you’re being needy and demanding.

FredtheFerret · 21/11/2020 17:03

Yep. I wouldn't needy him either.

He's obnoxious and a bit thick to make a shitty comment like that but not to be able to explain himself.

I'd needy to get rid of that one. Not a keeper.

amillionwishes · 21/11/2020 17:09

Well, he'll be glad when you decide you don't needy him anymore and bin him then. What a prick!

zoemum2006 · 21/11/2020 17:14

Actually I think he sounds needy. That's a needy comment. He needs a reaction from you (frustrated/ angry/ hurt).

Not sure why?

Is he always a dick or is he displaying a typical male's inability to understand his own feelings and picking a fight to mask his anxiety over an issue?

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 21/11/2020 17:16

I think it's designed to make you feel that you should prove you're not 'needy like all women', and therefore HE gets away with always putting his needs first. It probably works really well for him, either the girlfriend bends over backwards to prove she's not needy or she dumps him, freeing him up to find someone more gullible.

butterpuffed · 21/11/2020 17:24

I'd ignore it, he wants a reaction.

UseOfWeapons · 21/11/2020 17:39

Laugh, and say, ‘Bye, then!’
He sounds like an utter twat, you deserve better than a bloke with a tiny todger and no brain.
