Would this be a red flag?

If you were talking to someone new and received this message before your first date, would you see it as a red flag or just a guy who doesn’t know what he’s doing?

”I think if I'm being honest, there might not be attraction between us initially at first sight, but it will probably come with getting to know you better and finding out that you really are a special person and not like the barbie dolls out there who only care about their Instagram“.

Thoughts welcome 🤔

It would be a no from me

Leggingslife · 05/05/2022 21:08

Weird. Walk away.

Ishacoco · 05/05/2022 21:08

Errrr - I would think to delete and block?

Comedycook · 05/05/2022 21:09

Yeah give that one a swerve

mindutopia · 05/05/2022 21:09

Icky.

barkingdogturfwar · 05/05/2022 21:10

Immediately no

LBF2020 · 05/05/2022 21:11

Wtf..! Block and delete

Daffodilsdance · 05/05/2022 21:11

Errrr, no thanks .

Rainbowqueeen · 05/05/2022 21:11

Definite red flag. He wants you to prove yourself right from the start. I wonder how???

Also shows disrespect for women generally.

ZealAndArdour · 05/05/2022 21:13

Woahhhh, simultaneously negging on you/your looks whilst also dragging other women down too. This guy is a piece of shit. He genuinely thinks you’ll be so grateful to be an unattractive special person to him.

I’ll kick this prick in the balls for you, if you like.

seensome · 05/05/2022 21:14

Red flag, he's already telling how it going to be, as if women cannot think for themselves. Don't like the degrading comments of barbie dolls. I'd decline his offer of a date.

JollyWilloughby · 05/05/2022 21:14

Oh Jesus Christ.

Fuck him off and FAST!

Aimee1987 · 05/05/2022 21:15

bye bye

MsFrog · 05/05/2022 21:15

Definite immediate no

Coffeeholix · 05/05/2022 21:15

How condescending. It would be delete and block from me.

WhatTheWhoTheWhatThe · 05/05/2022 21:16

Yup negging before you’ve even met. Wouldn’t go near him!

mycatisannoying · 05/05/2022 21:17

It's a no thanks from me!

Luckymummytoone · 05/05/2022 21:21

Wow! Don’t degrade yourself for the date!!

Moltenpink · 05/05/2022 21:21

Negging, no thank you.

Comfortablynumbertwo · 05/05/2022 21:21

Run

Unanananana · 05/05/2022 21:25

Eww! Negging at its finest. Why would you even consider this specimen?

PolynesianParadise · 05/05/2022 21:25

It sounds awkward to me and a little bit like he's been on the internet too much (and doesn't know many real life women). Is he very young?

PolynesianParadise · 05/05/2022 21:26

If he is twenty, I'd put it down to lack of experience. If he's thirty, then red flag and dump.

Catcrazy83 · 05/05/2022 21:27

Big red flapping flag, on the hoop he want you to jump through 🤮

TheoSawUs · 05/05/2022 21:27
