Yeah, definitely moving on and won’t be giving him the time of day if he “tries” to contact me when his phone is fixed. This is the second dumbest lie I think I’ve heard from a guy, falling somewhere below “I have a physical problem” when I asked an ex if he’d been dating someone else. (He had been, but a vague “physical problem” was the best he could do when thinking on his feet to explain some of his behavior. If stupidity counts as a physical problem, then I agree.)
Speaking of current dating woes…
My aunt’s husband passed away, IDK, six years ago. The last year, she has started dating again. Since last fall, she’s been dating a man she met on one of the dating sites and over the last month, she has introduced him to some of her family. She ended it over the weekend because he told her to be his “ideal,” she needed to lose about 20 lbs. She’s not overweight to begin with. She’s like a size 6 or something and looks great for a 62 year old woman. WHAT THE FUCK?
Anyway, i thought it was crazy and thought I’d share. Glad she dumped him!
ktfran – I saw a profile on bumble a while back where the dude had height and weight requirements. i.e “I like a woman who takes care of herself, for example 5’1″ = 105, 5’2″ = 110, 5’3″ = 115, 5’4″ = 120. 5’5″ = 125…” and so on.
Clearly the reason I’m single is because I can’t make the weight requirement. (Heavy sarcasm font on that one)
KFebruary 21, 2017 at 1:04 pm #674784Once I had a problem with my phone where I couldn’t read incoming texts but I could text out – it was a screen issue, so I couldn’t see what I was typing but I could type and send. That said, Copa’s guy probably doesn’t have that sort of a problem (also, my issue was pre-smartphone). Plus saying “try” to get in touch? What is that? If he really had a problem, you’d think he’d say “I’m so sorry, my phone hasn’t been working. Be in touch once it’s fixed!” I’m sorry you had to deal with that.
@veritek33 – weight requirements???? Ugh.Yeah, whenever I see the phrase, “want a woman who takes care of herself,” I am immediately wary and assume the subtext there is “skinny women only.” Listing height and weight is absurd, though. My body has changed a bit over the past two years — I’ve been both quite lean and am currently a bit puffy — but my weight and dress size actually haven’t changed.
