New boyfriend keeps talking about his ex's ...should I be worried?

I'm starting to see a new guy and he talks about his ex's a lot.
Not just one but a lot of them.
We were just chatting on the sofa and he asked if I ever look up ex's on Facebook.
Then he showed me his ex and her new boyfriend.
Then showed me another girl and told me the story of how she seduced him.
Then he will show me another woman's photo and her new boyfriend etc etc

He can remember conversations with people he's just slept with and was telling me
"We had sex then chatted then had sex again"

This isn't quite right is it?
Why is he doing this ?
Ego maniac?

You should totally be like "oh here's a picture of my ex" and show him his own Facebook page. And then leave.

Do all the stories cast him in a good light?
Id be worried he saw dating as one big long game and all the players past and present are in his head still. Turn off or red flag

Lovelydiscusfish · 18/03/2021 16:46

He sounds utterly bizarre, the more you tell us. I can sort of imagine dating him just for the comedy value of seeing what ridiculous thing he says next......

I'd be tempted say, "Aww and didn't they mind your penis was so small?"

ritchierichiwish · 18/03/2021 17:09

All the stories are basically him either
1.having to say to these desperate women I don't want a relationship and these girls doing anything to be with him

2.a relationship going bad because his ex is nuts and made his life a misery

I have a feeling he is the problem

ritchierichiwish · 18/03/2021 17:10

@aliensprig that had really really made me laugh ha ha ha

ritchierichiwish · 18/03/2021 17:11

Also these girls seem to come into his life then go again
It's so odd.

OP please do this, it's hilarious!

He sounds a right tool. At the start of the thread I thought he was negging you to convince you how lucky you are but having read your other posts he's just unbearably vain and selfish. He'll never fall in love with you because he's too in love with himself.

Come on, the guy was even put out because strangers remarked on the cuteness of his baby rather than admiring his own looks!

ritchierichiwish · 18/03/2021 17:17

I know also the fact so many of his ex's hate him is a warning flag
He obviously is the victim.

I had (brief) relationship with a millionaire. Flash car, flash lifestyle...after one particular date, we were going back to his place, and he confidently asked me, ‘How do you feel after a date with Fred Bloggs then?’. I said ‘Sick’. And left.
This guy is an arrogant arse, and unbelievably immature, run like the wind, OP! Find someone who is interested in you, not in himself.

DK123 · 18/03/2021 17:33

This sort of behaviour always seems to be to get you to do the "pick me" dance, even if there aren't actually any other "competitors"
It's like a pick me dance with imaginary other women that he's pitted against you by his "harmless" name dropping

VettiyaIruken · 18/03/2021 17:34

Urgh.
He's an absolute tosspot.
Look at me I'm so great everyone wants me I'm fantastic look how many women I've had you should be so grateful for me I'm brilliant I bet you can't believe your luck I'm wonderful I bet you worry I'm out of your league...

I think constant chatting about ex is odd or obsessional.
I did meet a guy once who was dating someone else, I didn't know until I met him and he kept talking about a stalker hd said he had. He seemed to think it showed how popular he was, massive red flags.

I dated someone like this for a short while. Just before I dumped him, I decided to play him at his own game. He absolutely freaked out when I told him that my exh was so virile I got pregnant the first month we ttc! Grin

OP. You would have to have absolute rock-bottom self esteem and be desperate beyond belief to give another minute of your time to this pathetic little dickhead!

MrsGogolsGumbo · 01/04/2021 18:21

Some really good advice already but just want to add my vote to the put him in the bin crowd, hearing about him is making me feel a bit Envy >>>>>
