Any selfish idiot with a lack of self awareness would. It lacked tact, class, common SENSE, etc....but what the poster said above about GUYS saying dumb things is a HUGE generalization JMO. I honestly believe the guy was "sending" a message of sorts with the bikni comment. I am sure the LS Dictionary has a term for it but it is a comment meant to get a point across with. 2 1

I said some guys simp, NOT all, did you miss that? MY experience. I don't like generalizations either, which is why I made a point to word it the way I did. Edited April 12, 2020 by poppyfields

miss2017 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 But you know what was the worse part for me? When I once said to him I used to be skinny and miserable, and he didn’t give a rats ars* to that. Someone who is sensitive and aware would understand from what I said that this is not something to joke with. But he just ignored it and once again after a few days made another remark about getting fat and the bikini. Sad to say the least. 1 1

More likely so she can pork some younger dude ;) She passes my 66 y/o standard. But she did when we were both 15, too :D (LOL ... no, not an ex, just a classmate who's a good example of age being just a number) 1 1

ACCEPT SOMEONE FOR WHO THEY ARE and NOT WHO YOU WANT THEM TO BE I agree with you, but to add, if you cannot accept someone for who they are, don't meet and move on. And it goes both ways. We shouldn't be forced to accept something or someone that's not to our liking, and if we can't, that's OK, wish them well and move on. Which I think is what should happen here for both of them. Problems arise when trying to fit a round peg into a square hole, it simply cannot be done.. Next. Edited April 12, 2020 by poppyfields

basil67 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 I think it's more than passive aggression. To me, it pushes the line towards control. 1
preraph Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 I agree it's controlling and controlling is abusive. It's a substantial red flag. 1

True, but no one can control us unless we allow them to. Which Miss2017 is not allowing by nexting this guy, good for her. Another woman might have a different way of handling such control or potential control, which is okay too. Imo it's too early to know for sure. Edited April 12, 2020 by poppyfields
preraph Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Naive women can easily fall into the control trap. It takes a certain knowledge to know not to allow that.

basil67 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 This isn't about another woman. It's about the OP

Find a guy in real life instead of OLD who likes you for who you are. These idiots on OLD think it should be like a catalog they can order a hot body from. Idiots. YES! This is the best description I've heard about online dating! They do think it's a catalog they can order from. It's disgusting. You have no idea some of the things that have been said to me. And honestly, most of these guys say things that they would NEVER say to your face, just because they think they can. He is a complete jerk, block him. He does not deserve your time. If he says things like this now before he's even met you, imagine what he will say when he actually dates you. He's already making you feel like crap, what's next? He is abusive. And something else - never become Facebook friends with someone you are just talking to online and have not met yet. He does not need to see your personal life, pictures of your friends, your family, etc before he's even met you. Keep yourself safe. Block him from FB as well. Please.

On that controlling and passive/aggressive note, he told me this story about a girl he went on a date with: They were already friends before, so he picked her up to go to a restaurant have dinner. When they got there, she started paying more attention to what was going on on the TV there than talking to him. Instead of being honest with her and saying to her something like ‘I don’t think is nice you are watching the TV and not talking to me’, no instead he preferred to start making fun of her and the TV show she was watching in a nasty way. Yes, controlling and passive aggressive! He got her pis*** off and she said for him to stop doing that or she’ll get mad, to which he responded ‘ok just take an Uber back home then’! He said he ended up driving her back home but they never saw each other again. Yes watching the TV whilst on a restaurant with someone is bad, but he could just have been honest instead of starting to make fun of her and use passive aggressive tactics.
