Online dating - would this make you go 'urghh yuck'?

I am not an online dating novice but I've only recently rejoined after a 5 month break. I've been messaging someone for about 10 days and he seems nice and normal (well, as much as you can possibly tell at this stage) but today he has said something that's really turned me off! He was just telling me about his day and that for dinner he is eating the rest of a casserole he made last night but it has too many onions in 'so it might get a bit windy' 😳 I mean, really?! It's actually made me feel a bit sick. That's done it for me, a switch has flicked in my head and I don't want to speak to him anymore! Shall I just block him?

We all fart! Farts are funny! Oh dear, if it turns you off, tell him you're no longer interested and dive back in there 🙄

Not everyone finds farts funny

Why would anyone have a faecal transplant?

‘Windy’ - instant ick for me. Reminds me of an ex who used to sometimes have a ‘sore tummy’ - seriously not sexy 🤣

bangheadhere40 · 16/03/2021 17:38

It's so unfunny...instant turn off.

InfoInfoInfo · 16/03/2021 17:57

I guess if you are a princess that farts roses....

Nousernameforme · 16/03/2021 18:02

It doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks if it has put you off him then I don't think there is any coming back from that. Not once you have the ick. Just ghost him and move on.

Well this thread has cracked me up.... 'onion ring' hilarious

Sadsiblingatsea · 16/03/2021 21:09

You’ll be single a long time OP if something like this offends you so much, lol.

bangheadhere40 · 16/03/2021 21:19

I'd rather be single than put up with tilet humour.....jeez!

bangheadhere40 · 16/03/2021 21:19

Toilet

Reddotimbusy · 16/03/2021 21:38

I fart frequently in front of my chap but wouldn’t have dreamed of it before we were familiar and intimate, and fart/poo jokes/discussions/noises wouldn’t have wooed me at the beginning. I find farts funny but not sexy. 10 days in, you’re in the realms of sexy.

crystalcherry87 · 16/03/2021 22:12

You need to get out more if that makes you feel sick.

Bluntness100 · 16/03/2021 22:27

People get he wasn’t sitting farting in front of her, right? Or playing Dutch oven? All he said was onions made him a bit windy,

Some folks are reacting like he shit in his hands and clapped..😂

Reddotimbusy · 16/03/2021 22:47

But Bluntness his comment has made her auralize the comment. Not to mention imagine the odour. Who wants that at 10 days in?

JimmyJabs · 16/03/2021 22:50

Obviously people get that. It's just a matter of time and place. Unless you actively find farting sexy, talking about your windy arse isn't the stuff of seduction, is it? Anyway, he did previously message the OP about Gaviscon so he is clearly not bothered about whether his rancid bowels are a suitable topic for flirtatious conversation.

Afishcalledwonderful · 16/03/2021 23:08

I just think if you're trying to get a date with someone, making a joke about your own windy bottom ten days' in is not the best way to go about it (nor is it good manners for that matter!). I was trying to form a picture of him based on a few photos and the things he was saying. Him breaking wind and laughing about it is not a picture I wanted to have in my mind 🤦🏼‍♀️
