Oy. So I had a FaceTime screening with scrote.
Wowwww. In less than 10 minutes, he insulted the room I was in (" you need to stop shopping at thrift stores!" ) , my political beliefs ( " I can prove to you that you probably lean more to the left, I've dated lots of conservative women like you") .
Here's another one. He told me he was previously married, and I said I was as well. His response was that I :" responded to that so quickly to prove that maybe you were normal or something")
Also hinted that I wasn't sophisticated enough a foodie . He listed three restaurants and I haven't been to any of them , and he made it known he thought I was not so sophisticated for not having been to them.
Mind you, he had ASKED where I wanted to go, and he completely ignored where I wanted to go.
Also ! mansplained all the inaccuracies of Maverick ...because he's ex military . Basically it seems he doesn't enjoy anything.
There was a post about it pretty recently, but he's another one of those guys that thinks dogs are superior to cats . Yes, a proud dog dad.
Before this FaceTime I suspected he may have been a douche. Glad I did this, because now I know for sure! I'm saving my sassy black dress for somebody that deserves it.
The funny thing is.. his profile mentions "banter" and "playfully ribbing one another". Is this his example of playfully ribbing?
Guess I am not a pick me cool girl. I wasn't up to the task with Sir Scrote .
We WERE going to go to one of his pretentious restaurants Saturday . Screw that.
I just don't understand why some men do this! Why was he so mean to somebody he doesn't even know???
I know the answer to that.. just another loser with low self-esteem, taking it out on somebody who is happy and upbeat because he could never be at that level.
However! Cross your fingers for me because I do have a date on Friday!
This man so far seems sweet. He read my profile and saw my favorite kind of food and suggested my favorite restaurant. He's also a cat person that has excellent taste in music, steady job , cool masculine hobbies , and is NOT a liberal 😂 he passed the first round of vetting!!!!!
I think the “playful banter” thing is sort of like “fluent in sarcasm.” It’s code for “I’m going to be a total dick to you and and try to pass it off as ‘playful.’” Good thing you Skyped first!
It sounds like this man absolutely hates himself, which is why he was mean to you. I think they sort of have this self-fulfilling prophecy complex going on where they already know from the start they you’re going to reject them at some point, so they want to abuse you a bit first as preemptive revenge.
Good luck on your date Friday! You are having more success with OLD than I am right now. 😂
Sigh. Boring and predictable scrote. They think they are so original in their "insights" but it's just the same old fragile male ego shit. I stay away from men who say they love banter, sarcasm, debate or are "brutally honest". All of that is code for "I will verbally abuse you".
Playfully ribbing is a huge red flag for me. I see this a lot in male friendships, where their whole relationship consists of them roasting each other. This is a sure sign of immaturity. Hard pass.
Loser #1 can die mad…and likely alone.
let’s see if Dude #2 can keep it genuine for longer than 3 months. good luck, sis!
What a scrote. Next time hang up at the first insult.
>The funny thing is.. his profile mentions "banter" and "playfully ribbing one another". Is this his example of playfully ribbing
Hell no, he's just a disrespectful asshole. Don't overthink it.
>I just don't understand why some men do this! Why was he so mean to somebody he doesn't even know???
It's a shit test. He's looking for a doormat with poor boundaries who's easy to abuse. Men have BRAGGED to me about doing this. It's very common.
”playful banter” means “being a verbally abusive little shit”. Damn, i’d have hung up a quarter way through that one.
This is why we do the predate call/video chat.
Holy smokes, you dodged a total scrote. The whole banter is his way of telling on himself. It's code for I'm really an argumentative, disagreeable prick.
He negged you many times during that short call, insulted you, and tried pitting you down.
You deserve someone better. Thankfully you didn't waste tye effort on meeting him in person, scrotes are dangerous!
