A man you’re considering dating sending you fart videos

Would this put you off? A short video of him doing some DIY during which he lifts up a leg, farts loudly and says ‘that was a loud one’. I laughed it off but now he’s sent a tic tok video link of someone farting into an intercom in a store and I’m thinking our sense of humour is not aligned as I thought it was. Am I being too precious? We’ve only been talking online for 2 weeks and my immediate thought was ‘eurgh, how unsexy’.

@makegood

My 12 year old DD and her friend made fart videos of each other and sent them to a school group chat.

I hit the roof. It's wrong on so many levels. Its perverse, bizarre and she is grounded for the first time in her life. She humiliated herself and has tarnished her reputation at school. She is now known as the weirdo who makes fart videos with that even weirder friend who farted. Gutted for her.

I have no idea why you're even asking this question.

Wtf. What a weird reaction.
countrylady2 · 13/03/2022 10:16

That's why he is still single. He wont stop the videos and it will get on your nerves. Most men who are trying to impress a woman are usually on their best behaviour.

FullBush · 13/03/2022 10:16

He sounds like a true delight 🤢

BlaBlaSmthSmth · 13/03/2022 10:29

@MrsSkylerWhite

Of for god’s sake, why are you even asking? Pathetic.
Oh for god's sake, why are you getting so wound up over someone else's post? Pathetic.

😂

BlaBlaSmthSmth · 13/03/2022 10:38

@Justilou1

Has it occurred to you that maybe he’s leaning into telling you about some kind of fetish?
For some reason that was my first thought when I read the OP too 🤢
purplecorkheart · 13/03/2022 10:47

I would ru for the hills and never look back. Bet he turns out to be one of those pathetic losers who think noting of farting during a quiet part of a wedding or funeral and expect a laugh.

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 13/03/2022 10:48

I would no longer be considering dating him.

NeverChange · 13/03/2022 10:58

Sounds like a guy who has never dated a woman in his life!

A lot of men find humour in farts whereas most women don't. Most men realise this on their early 20s. The fart jokes continue, just with their mates rather than with ladies.

Sounds like he never got the memo or ignored it. It would turn me off hugely but if everything was fabulous (I doubt it is), I just might get over it if it didn't happen often.

Prettynails · 13/03/2022 10:59

@RedRoseRay

In his 40s I’m afraid to say. I asked a male friend who said he thought they were funny but admitted he wouldn’t send them to a woman he’d never met and was trying to impress.
Bin off he’s a shark pushing the cage
ImJustMadAboutSaffron · 13/03/2022 11:11

Is he Mr Methane? I hate toilet humour, scatology, anything like that. I think he is a living embodiment of a Viz character, I would not meet him!

TheWeeDonkeyFella · 13/03/2022 11:13

Good job, loves animals, enjoys diy/gardening, handsome, etc

Yeah but you can now see why he's single! If he's so juvenile now imagine what he could be like once the best behaviour stage wears off.

@CrotchetyQuaver

Ah. Just been for a Google EPROCTOPHILIA. It seems there is such a thing ConfusedEnvy
Thank you for your service.
Blossomandbee · 13/03/2022 11:17

He sounds a real gentleman Hmm
I can laugh at a fart, but 2 weeks in, sending videos to someone you barely know.... odd. Very odd.

iwishu · 13/03/2022 11:18

How very unsexy, I wouldn't want to date him.

Gowithme · 13/03/2022 11:30

I'd just tell him to stop now with the fart jokes and see how he takes it, that will probably tell you a lot.

Bunty55 · 13/03/2022 12:06

My three year old grandson likes to fart. He will come near you and do one for the reaction. He also likes to shout the word 'poo' a lot and 'arse', but then again.. he is only three.

He does not do it when we are out - only at home so he knows it is naughty.
A grown man doing it ? Sending videos of farting??

Instant turn off for me I'm afraid

Birdy474 · 13/03/2022 12:14

Urgh 🤢

ravenmum · 13/03/2022 12:15

Why do you care what other people think? I'm sure that somewhere out there, there's a woman who'd find him hilarious. It's not you.

Georgeskitchen · 13/03/2022 12:23

Hysterically funny if you are between the ages of 5 and 15 but after that it wears a bit thin.......unless in a ltr and view it as a competion to outfart each other 🤣🤣

CandidaAlbicans2 · 13/03/2022 12:29

@RedRoseRay, it doesn't matter what anyone else likes in men or what they think about this (or your reaction to it), it's your feelings that matter, and if you don't like something that's what you need to consider. So either bin him ("sorry, I don't think our sense of humour is aligned"), or give him 1 chance by telling him that you're not into farting and see what happens.

Also, as PPs have said, unless you're only after an online chat relationship, stop the 2 weeks+ messaging. It creates a false impression of someone and you only know if there's chemistry by actually meeting in real life. You can waste lots of time and energy on someone unsuitable otherwise. There are loads of time-wasters online who just want to chat and will string you along.

Wizzbangfizz · 13/03/2022 12:30

Immediate and total turn off for
Me.

SweetPotatoDumpling · 13/03/2022 12:47

I find farts funny in certain contexts (I teach small children, so it pays to be on their wavelength 🤣👍).

However, even I would find this grim! It's not funny or remotely attractive to send a potential love interest videos of yourself farting!! FFS what is wrong with these men? 🤦‍♀️

ukborn · 13/03/2022 12:51

Gross

To be fair, my dog’s audible guffs are hilarious.

HaggisBurger · 13/03/2022 13:02

Jeez no. I’d be repulsed. That’s seriously immature and just not funny. I’d consider someone who did that a bit thick …
