Been seeing a guy for a while, previously dated him then life took us separate ways so he's not a totally unknown quantity. We get on really well, lots of shared views, sense of humour, we just 'get' each other. I wouldn't say I want to rip his clothes off but he's attractive to me because of the connection we have. We've kissed and talked about having sex. Tomorrow I'm meant to be going to his and we've both been making inferences to that being the night, however..he's started saying things the last few days that have frankly turned me right off. Such as "I'd give an arm to fucking batter you every morning before work" I wouldn't say I'm a prude but this made me feel a bit scared? Intimidated? Its overly crude and a bit aggressive to me and that along with some other similar things he's said make me feel like he views sex as something you do 'to' a woman, or at least he likes the thought of that. He's a very intelligent man and doesn't normally talk like this. I said I didn't particularly like what he'd said and he replied that he just speaks figuratively.
Today I sent him a picture of a peacock I'd seen out and about and he said are you gazing in awe at the towering cock before you..this really just gave me the ick. I'm not really into the whole meek damsel in distress cock worshipping trope.
Not sure what I'm looking for here..my sexual boundaries are a bit skewed by being in a sexless relationship for a long time and feeling really undesirable, so I'm not sure if I'm being a bit sensitive or not. Its nice he clearly wants me but my gut is screaming at me that something isn't right. I feel like maybe if I were responding in a similar manner it would be fine but that the fact he keeps on in this vein when I'm not shows a lack of respect for me.

He sounds immature or just blurts out everything that crosses his mind. Off putting.

I'd give an arm to fucking batter you every morning before work

My god, that's really vile. Horrible. Run, OP. Run away very fast.

DisgruntledPelican · 06/07/2022 19:45

Gross. “Batter” is not a particularly sexual term for me (for anyone?) and all these examples just make me feel like it’d be like spending time with Sid James

Dillydollydingdong · 06/07/2022 19:45

Does he think he's funny? If so, he's got a strange sense of humour. You need to take a step back. It sounds as though he could be dangerous.

whatshouldIdo2022 · 06/07/2022 19:46

Not sure whether to tell him that's the reason or just block. If I tell him he'll probably be more careful what ne says in future which might not turn out great for the next woman.

If he said something as a one off, gauging your sense of humour then fair enough. But you have said to him it's too far and he has continued. It's a big no
What a shame he has cocked it up by himself already

Suddha · 06/07/2022 19:48

He sounds very vulgar, I wouldn’t be with someone who disrespected me like that.

I was quite upset by him saying this, really taken aback. I wouldn't like it from a long term boyfriend let alone someone I've never even slept with. Its the language he's used, I can't imagine why on earth he would think that was an ok thing to say!

Urgh bet he lasts a minute..
He is professing to be some sort of stud.
Epic fail I reckon.

cottagegardenflower · 06/07/2022 20:01

Batter you! fuck that. Some men think women find over sexual talk exciting. Maybe some do but many don't If it continued despite telling him you don't like it, then that would be me done.

BeggarsMeddle · 06/07/2022 20:01

Maybe he's very inexperienced and laboring under the illusion that this is what women want to hear. Or maybe he's watched too much porn. Either way, he's not much of an ad for courtly love... It's all bit sad, especially if he looked quite promising.

whatshouldIdo2022 · 06/07/2022 20:02

He's 36! There's always a reason why they're single, sigh..

IncompleteSenten · 06/07/2022 20:02

Urgh. That would put me right off.

HollowTalk · 06/07/2022 20:07

Oh my god, no! He's disgusting. That would be it for me.

TwoMonthsOff · 06/07/2022 20:07

@whatshouldIdo2022
thanks OP I genuinely burst out laughing at that
what a numpty 😭😭😭
its like something your inappropriate little brother would say about age 14

mackthepony · 06/07/2022 20:07

Lord above just get rid of him

Shudder

mackthepony · 06/07/2022 20:08

Er, dont tell him, just block.

His behaviour isn't your responsibility!

legaltigger · 06/07/2022 20:08

Eww noooooo. Run op!

Rooroobear · 06/07/2022 20:15

I think some of it’s a bit ewww the thing about filling you up I would have found funny because that is my sense of humour….a guy I was seeing recently said the same to me…turned me on because the sex was amazing and I just wanted to rip his clothes off but the whole batter you…he’s testing to see what he can say and what you find inappropriate

whatshouldIdo2022 · 06/07/2022 20:18

@rooroobear I might find that a turn on if I was already sleeping with someone too. As it is its just weird and out of place in the conversation!

OP posts:
ilikemethewayiam · 06/07/2022 20:19

jeeez he sounds like a 14 year old! So immature and vulgar. I can’t bare immature laddish men. It would be a no from me OP!

Rooroobear · 06/07/2022 20:23

Could be that he’s just nervous and is just blurting out the first stupid thing to come into his head.

Speak to him honestly and just lay out everything. You find it offensive and crass and won’t be spoken about/to like that. His reaction will tell you all you need to know.

HalfLass · 06/07/2022 20:24

Ditch him. That's foul.

MoederBok123 · 06/07/2022 20:26

We set the tone of what we find acceptable in the early stages so whatever we 'let slide' early on will stick and probably get worse. You say your gut is screaming so I'd listen to that. If you've already voiced that you don't like it and he is continuing despite knowing how you feel, I'd say that speaks for itself. But that's just my opinion.

IStandWithMaya · 06/07/2022 20:30

Run for the hills OP
