Weird comment moment on vaginas

201 replies

hesyetanothersketchyOLD · 16/09/2024 10:57

This wasn't a relationship, just a potential physical thing that actually fizzled out before it happened, but the guy in question said he wanted to see my vagina* to check how it looked become some vaginas "look like they've been run over". Anyway, attraction went away on his part (I didn't show him!), but this comment stood out to me. He said a few other questionable things, too.

Just wondering if anyone's come across someone who seemed to have standards for vaginas like that before? Is it a porn influence? 🤔

* Yes, he should have said vulva

I do remember reading about a woman who went to bed with a man who discovered she had pubic hair and said he couldn't possibly, because he preferred 'a clean plate' 🤢.

Yes, certain; I know his family.

Oh I see someone has already asked: still would question his skills and certainty his practice!

hesyetanothersketchyOLD · 16/09/2024 12:08

It wasn't the vagina aspect that worried me so much as the fact that I have some pretty bad stretch marks on my abdomen that I've had since a teenager; I always have to wait for the right moment to tell a man I have them and guage if he will be OK with it. The whole vagina inspection cast doubt on that!

What is he a Doctor of ? Divinity? Philosophy ?

A Medical Doctor would know the difference between vagina & vulva.

He sounds like the sort of man who lives in his mother’s basement

Ha yes kind of not surprising he’s on the dating market in his 40’s is it! Thank god the op found out before it progressed to physical.

Begsthequestion · 16/09/2024 12:10

He wanted to neg you and add to his collection of fanny pics.

So gross.

Pudmyboy · 16/09/2024 12:06

He's a doctor and asked to see your vagina rather than labia??
Are you sure he's a doctor? (Or does he just have a PhD?)

Absolutely. He could have a doctorate in fruit fly distribution in the Peak District*.

  • Not a euphemism.
Beth216 · 16/09/2024 12:15

What's the difference between a 'pretty' vulva and one that looks like it's been run over?? I would have absolutely zero idea where mine fell on that scale. It's all very bizarre.

Thank god that didn't go anywhere OP, you should not be putting up with that crap.

ChampagneLassie · 16/09/2024 12:16

That’s really saddening and I’m glad you blocked him. I dated 100+ men so connected and messaged with hundreds more. No one ever asked me this or indeed to send pics. And funnily enough the only man who sent me a lewd message was my own GP who connected with me on an app (he didn’t realise I was one of his patients 🤦‍♀️) (this was 2014-2019).

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 16/09/2024 12:17

As has been said, that programme Naked Attraction has a lot to answer for. As if critiquing someone's 'bits' is ever going to be a positive first step in a relationship. It's a pretty stomach-churning premise for a TV programme and is surely just an excuse to gawp at naked people in a way we don't normally get to.

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 16/09/2024 12:18

Well… that must have caused your vagina to shrivel and close up. What a huge ick!

EBearhug · 16/09/2024 12:20

What's the difference between a 'pretty' vulva and one that looks like it's been run over??

Bruising in the shape of tyre tracks?

hesyetanothersketchyOLD · 16/09/2024 11:11

There’s just absolutely no way a man would be like oh no, I couldn’t possibly it’s not perfectly symmetrical.

It's so apt that you would put it this way as that is exactly the impression I had- that he might say something along those lines.

No I've definitely had this. I have had comments and assumptions based on having 'big lips'. Some men are actually disgusting, it's more annoying that I assumed these were the decent guys. The fact that they were then confused why I didn't want to go any further or see them again went right over their heads. I'm not a backward person, I'm very capable of telling them to do one as I don't care what their opinion of my vagina is but someone else would get very upset at the things said

Parkmybentley · 16/09/2024 12:34

Any man would count themselves lucky to get near a vag at all!

TheGreenKnight · 16/09/2024 12:36

hesyetanothersketchyOLD · 16/09/2024 11:02

He's a doctor so I can only assume he's seen plenty, though I don't know.

I'm in my forties and I suppose I'm wondering if that's how it plays out with men now.

Edited

No it’s not! You should have asked to see his penis, and then laughed out loud!

SnowflakeSmasher86 · 16/09/2024 12:38

Mine is not pretty. Lots going on down there and a poorly healed episiotomy means none of it is symmetrical! I refer to it as a badly packed kebab, but if any man did the same I’d be mortified and he’d never go near it again.

DP loves getting down there and has never been anything other than enthusiastic about it, so I generously let him get on with it.

Aroastdinnerisnotahumanright · 16/09/2024 11:05

Confirms my suspicion that doctors are arseholes to date. Glad you're well rid.

a minority, like all professions. Most are lovely. Be wary of the 40 year old medic that’s never been married though. No one wants to snap that one up

ThisPresetIsSelected · 16/09/2024 12:40

I can't work out whether he didn't realise his comment was utterly grim, or he did and he said it specifically to "neg" you or assert his dominance. I think probably the latter.

What a vile man.

SquatWeightaMinute · 16/09/2024 13:00

I am shocked this happened at all but more so in person - Did he put his gloves on and say, hop up on the bed, ankles together, knees apart.

OuterSpaceCadet · 16/09/2024 13:01

NutellaEllaElla · 16/09/2024 11:07

It's so interesting to me when self proclaimed heterosexual men clearly state that they are disgusted by women's bodies.

You should have stopped taking to him when he said it.

Innit. It's like, don't force yourself, dude. It's 2024 and it's acceptable to be gay these days.

People wonder why so many women want to see female GPs. What an incredible lack of self awareness displayed by someone we pay to care for us ☹️.

How horrible for you OP.

LostittoBostik · 16/09/2024 13:06

hesyetanothersketchyOLD · 16/09/2024 11:06

Men do have different expectations of vaginas now, don't they though? Nothing I am prepared to do about mine though, I'm not having surgery.

I honestly have no idea what they want apart from small labia, though, anyway. I haven't seen that many as I don't watch porn.

Edit: let's not go down that route, though.

I suppose I'm really just wondering to what extent these standards are really expected in real life.

Edited

Awful men, perhaps so.

The nice ones you should be spending time with in your forties? They are not wasting their short lives making judgements on vulva appearance.

Ffs. Grimace and move on. Be glad it never actually happened with a creep like that.

Riapia · 16/09/2024 13:11

Imagine, a group of doctors out for a drink discussing who’s seen the worst looking fanny.
😉😁😁

I may be naive but I can't image a doctor saying that.

Not that I can't imagine a doctor being judgemental on women's bodies, I'm sure some of them are, but a man would have to be very stupid to make that comment to a woman.

And doctors generally aren't stupid.

Is he definitely a doctor?

Devilsmommy · 16/09/2024 13:14

SnugCoralFinch · 16/09/2024 11:09

Outside of incels whinging on the internet I really don’t think they do tbh.

they’re mostly just happy to be involved 😂 you seem to be forgetting how sex oriented most are. There’s just absolutely no way a man would be like oh no, I couldn’t possibly it’s not perfectly symmetrical.

Exactly. They're so fucking grateful you'll have sex with them that they really aren't arsed about how it looks😂

SikhiTryer · 16/09/2024 13:18

Sounds like someone who gets his kicks from talking to women in a demeaning way. Gross.

So am I the only one that's been asked to undergo a vagina inspection then?

When I was a teen, idiot boys used to go up to girls and say “can I see your fanny?” Then when you said no they would say “well put your shoes on then because something stinks in here”. Plus ca change…
