Starting point is 00:00:00 Wow, what do you think of her? What don't you think of her? Well I think that girl has got everything that she deserves. I literally upload and then close. Is that your hair? Have you got a dog? Have you got a dog? Fucking dog. Sarah, she's got a dog.
Starting point is 00:00:19 Oh, that will forever be one of the funniest things I've ever heard. I know, it was fucking sold it. So I think I'm gonna have to stick with the popular serial killers and stuff because it did better because it was more popular, people knew who it was. So I am gonna do Rose and Fred hopefully on Saturday, but let's see how the week goes. If not, I'll do it the time after that. But I have started listening to You've Probably Seen It. Um, who is she? She to you've probably seen it.
Starting point is 00:00:52 She says I've probably seen it. Well yeah possibly when I'm uploading on the... So it is... She was saying the Wednesday they come up with what you can watch. The Tape Library. So he's a YouTuber and he's called the Tape Library so shout out to you called the Tape Library, so shout out to you. And basically all his stories are about murders and weird shit that's gone on in, but with hauntings. Great. And I'm like, yay! And then late at night when I'm putting the washing out,
Starting point is 00:01:17 when I know it's gonna be sunny the next day, or, because obviously Alfie, all his fucking shit, I've been doing all that. And it's like like and then the figure appeared from nowhere and I'm like I'm paying the washing out and I'm like it's a no from me but I think it's because obviously the the true crime isn't hitting like it was after doing all the research I've been doing it's just not hitting in the same place whereas before I'd be be like, well you don't feel as fucked up.
Starting point is 00:01:46 No, before I'd be like, oh my god, that's well bad. Whereas now, whereas now everything is normal. Yeah, is that it? Normal, heard worse. Yeah, and he ate him, so what? I mean, you know what I mean? Like that is literally twice. That's literally where my brain is at at the minute.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Whereas this one, I'm like, oh, I'm just listening to one about an asylum at the moment And about all the hauntings there in the asylum and I'm like Well, man, that's a little bit fucked up and that but also normal That's my state of mind Normal behavior So there's a lot of audience and positive things ummm
Starting point is 00:02:30 it's half term yeah, half term woohoo for half term i am popping with friends to a caravan then my dad has surgery then, oh my oven's broke no yeah, it's the second time the same fault has happened. that's not good news just so you know.
Starting point is 00:02:48 no but it's fine. just ruined like the no no no no the good part about it is i'm insured. oh touch. yeah so when i brought the oven because they're expensive ovens it was 500 so i pay £3.99 a month, which then Paul proceeded to tell me was a waste of money, literally the same day that it broke. And I was like, how's that then? Because if they can't repair the oven, I get a brand new oven. Yeah. But anyway, so it's the same fault as last time. If you turn on the oven itself, it trips the same fault as last time if you turn on the oven itself it trips the fuse
Starting point is 00:03:31 So last time it was a fuse itself in the oven, but fine whatever they're coming, but not until the 4th of June So I said to her I said I went listen nearly two weeks. Yeah, so I said to her I'm very grateful that you're coming to fix my oven However, it's a very long waiting time to go without an oven is it not but whatever so that's getting sorted obviously doing the garden told you that what else is happening I feel like that's it. Oh I need to ring and get my electrical stuff done. The yearly check. Oh okay. What have I got coming up? Nothing. Oh I'm gonna go swimming on Saturday with the kids. Which is nice. And we're gonna go skating, because this is now the boys thing. Does he skate as well?
Starting point is 00:04:29 He was using my skates, but the squishies are done, so we were just waiting for new ones to turn up. Yeah, you just screw them in, don't you? No, the squishy things that go between the bumpers, basically. Right. But because they're my skates from like when I was a teenager because I still got my skates, yeah they've perished. Yeah fair enough. Sometimes I think
Starting point is 00:04:54 about getting skates and I think I never skated. Do you use them? No. I mean I haven't for a really long time. Yeah I have looked online. I have got my one pet they were like yeah they were my bowers they are not really that was so they were the other ones skates are skates mate they weren't when you were a skater okay and you went skating the skaters anyway never there's no end to your talent skating bird watching like when we were at Tough Mudder bitch kept spotting birds and telling me what they were. Oh yeah we did Tough Mudder and we smashed it. Oh yeah we haven't no we did Tough Mudder. We skipped it. I am literally still like my bruises are pretty much gone but look oh wow look still. Wall wounds. And there on my knee I've
Starting point is 00:05:44 still got bruises but they're almost gone. I had one big one down the side which took a couple of days to come out but it has now come out. I am telling you that it was no joke. It was no joke. I was prepared to do another 5k. I'm not gonna lie, I was prepared to. Why didn't we then?
Starting point is 00:06:02 Because we were broken. I'm broken, I'm like, if you don't want to and you're like then because we were broken I'm broken I'm like if you don't want to and you're like I don't think I can yeah and then I said to you if you want to do it we'll do it and then you were like no I would totally would have done it but I didn't want to push you and kill you anymore because you drive I I do want to do the five and ten next year I do kind of want to do it on the same day so if it's... Same day? Yeah hold on hold on it's nothing so hold on it's what we did then so if it turns out it's not his
Starting point is 00:06:32 weekend to be here we're doing both on the same day. I've got to do the five of them I've promised it so we've got to work it out to either be the west or the south one where he can do it. Okay. I mean, I'm hoping it will be the south because I don't want to- Why can't you do the five and the 10? I just feel like going back- What, 20K?
Starting point is 00:06:58 It's not 20K. No, because the 10 is miles, but it's 15K and 5K. It's three, so all in total it's 13 miles. No it's a 15 and a 10 and a and a five. So total is 13 miles which is 20k that's what I just said. I just said. Mine's working. 5. 15k and 5k is 3k. I just feel like I'm not gonna make it back the next day. I feel like it'll be now or never moment. But if the other girls are doing it that they said they would, they can sit and wait then. But why would we do the 15k? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:55 It took us four hours. Not this time. No, after doing five. All right, all right, we, we're playing by the year. Re-evaluate this. Unless, unless we do the five earlier in the year and then the ten later in the year. That sounds more reasonable. Okay, I just want the medals that connect.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Yeah, so do I. Right. Are we going to do yours first? What was mine? Dating disasters. Oh, okay, sweet. Have you got that saved first? I feel like I've got something more. Yeah I felt like that all day as well. Oh my god so I got this new mascara and it's proper waterproof babe. How nice is that? Like thickness I mean. Yeah it's thick. Yeah I'm looking, I'm looking to my eyes. And around the eyes, the eyes are under.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Don't look away, look in, look in. And obviously getting water in that on my face, nothing, it don't move. Why are you getting water on your face? I've been doing the garden, it's like you're not listening to what I'm telling you. What are you using water for? To water the plants I have in the garden it's like you're not listening to what I'm telling you water the plants I have in the garden I've got a flamingo tree let me show you it I have wanted a flamingo. What? I got the mega-chip.
Starting point is 00:09:26 You're a fucking knob. I know the teachers, yeah. I was trying to do these stupid fucking goggles, yeah, and she's like, everyone look, I take a picture! And after a minute I've gone, why? And she took a picture and I went, why? And I said, show me that.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Sometimes. And I was literally like like this when I'm doing the fucking delete that wow wow when I'm doing them when I'm doing the podcast and I'm getting our thumbnail pictures and I'm screenshotting sometimes we're like this one just got up I'm like please don't get any enemies online that's just like the fuck is wrong with me? I thought if we get any enemies we're finished. We're finished? Yeah sometimes you're like... When I'm cropping this out I'm like...
Starting point is 00:10:34 You just did it. But we can't help it because obviously we're just naturally talking and stuff and not thinking about the facial expression when the whole time we should be like that. No like this, like this. Oh, hold on. Say that one. Don't do that now. Right, let me introduce.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Hold on, I'm having... You can see what I'm doing. Let me say hello, my name is Michael. I'm gonna do that now. Fuck's sake. Right, let me introduce. Hold on, I'm having... You can see what I'm doing. Let me say hello, Mum. It's making me a bit sweaty. Sweaty Betty. I only got four.
Starting point is 00:11:17 That's not like you. Normally you just say Ryan's on the shit. Read it and then we're like, huh? I did like a lot of them. Kate? No, me neither. I thought it was a bit shit. Why did we do it good last time? We did do it good last time and I found quite a lot of them were still on there as well. They hadn't sort of been...
Starting point is 00:11:32 Was it in its own subreddit? I looked in... What did I look in? Wasn't it called something like When Dating Goes Wrong or something like that? I can't remember. Anyway... Anyway... are you ready? Okay hello everyone and welcome to Middle Aged Opinion. I'm your host Ellie and I'm your host Emily! Helicopter, helicopter! Oh, I straightened that earlier.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Good for you. Well, that's really soft still. Mine was actually down and then um... I did a... The parrot shit on my shoulder so I scooped it right up. She shat on me. And then she had a right... She did. She shat on me.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Did she? I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so? I don't think so, I don't know. I had, it was quite dry the other day, obviously, because I'd done all that stuff to it, so I'd literally done, you know, my argan oil and then left it for like 72 hours and then washed it off, which really helped. I'm going to do argan oil when the boys go because then I can be greasy and not worry about having it to be out in public. Although I did go out, where did I go? I'm going to do argan oil when the boys go because then I can be greasy and not worry about going out
Starting point is 00:12:45 to be out in public. Although I did go out, where did I go? I literally put it in a bun. It looked like I just washed my hair and just put it in a bun But I didn't want it. I needed it to sit to sit on the scalp and the hair. I think still from Tough Muddy It was still Dry and great. Yeah, like dry. Right. Do I do that again or are we alright with that one? No we've started. We've started. Oh we've started. Right well it's over to you babes, your one first. Well you said that last time. Last time what? The last one. Yeah but was the last one your one? Last one I was sitting there and looking at you and you're like go on then. I was like, oh, I'm going first. Yay, you chose it. Oh.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Oh, look, numb already. I hope we ain't got the same one. Oh. I doubt it. I mean, I actually went for a red mine. I do have two short ones though, quite short. Which I thought were a little bit interesting. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Just reading one of the answers. Hell no! Hell to the no! Hell no! Is this the one I just clicked on? I think so. I don't know. Maybe he is. Hockey now gets bigger and bigger people. I like it big. That's what she said. gets bigger and bigger people. I like it big. That's what she said. I'm four. Four? Yeah, like, literally, it's what he did. I mean.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Okay. Okay. Okay. What are we doing again? Did we just say? We didn't even say what we're doing. Did we say what we're doing? We did say.
Starting point is 00:14:22 What did we say? Date in disasters. We're doing date in disasters, just in case we didn't, because I feel like I didn't say it. I feel like you didn't. I feel like I waft off onto something else as like... Per... ...per... ...per...
Starting point is 00:14:31 ...per usual. Interrupting it all the fucking time. I know. No, you know how it feels. Right, go. Erm... We're doing date in disasters today. Let's have a look. So, we went on a date and it turned out... We're doing dating disasters today.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Let's have a look. So, went on a date and it turned out to be an absolute disaster. I, 21 female, got a DM from this guy, direct message, 22 male, on Facebook. Facebook oh good old Facebook seemed quite fine and genuinely into me which was the first reason I gave him my number after some days oh yeah said he had a crush on me for three months and used my pics as his wallpaper kind of weird but okay that's really fucking weird. bit too soon yeah but they hadn't even spoken and he's like that's my girlfriend she doesn't know it yet.
Starting point is 00:15:37 That post where this bloke on Facebook gets tagged in some girls in a relationship with Darren Miller for example Darren Miller and then the bloke goes sorry do I know you she goes not yet sorry but I wanted to be in a relationship and somebody had to do it she just clicks on random fucking money BINNY BINNY MINNY NO great idea relationship and somebody had to do it. Great idea how I met your mother. So fast forward to the first day a week back from today he came from his college to
Starting point is 00:16:20 meet me after I was done with my lectures. That pretty much impressed me because he had to travel a lot and sounded so genuine about doing it all just because he'd get to see me. Sounds sweet. Sounds like a psycho. Go on. That's the nice things you do when you you want to know someone anyway date goes well and while returning I offered to pay for his transit fare because he came to see me but he refused and I didn't press much and finally bought him snacks as I was getting some for myself too second date was yesterday and everything was almost similar to the first date. We hung out and kissed.
Starting point is 00:17:07 So far so good. Offered to get him a soft drink but he refused and bought it himself. Offered to pay his train fare too. He didn't object and I was fine with that. Later he walks me home. I get home and around 10 minutes later he asks for my mother's number. For context our family uses my mother's number when ordering from this supermarket for where I go but where I got the snacks because we do get some discounts and I happen to have
Starting point is 00:17:42 told this guy about this just like that and I didn't like the idea of it so the next time he called I didn't take the call because I knew what he'd be asked them for. Proceed to go for a shower and come back to five more calls and some texts within the span of ten minutes asking where I was. Rep replied to the text saying I was in the shower and called him back. He asked me if I could pay for something and he'd return it later. Struck me as odd because why'd, sorry, it's, look. Don't be rude, why?
Starting point is 00:18:22 Why'd someone make, no it's how you speak isn't be rude why why'd someone make that's how you speak isn't it why'd someone make this request after just the second date so i said i wasn't really okay with that and mentally planned the closure text yet he sent me the code mentioning the amount to pay which honestly was very less which was very less but then I didn't find it okay and proceeded to block him. Over the next 20 to 30 minutes I had my phone blasting with SMS asking why I did what I did. Later he texted me he lied about being a virgin for context I had asked him this before we kiss I don't I don't know dumb move on my part for thinking this was something permanent so that I wouldn't be offended but he wanted nobody other than me I saw the text and
Starting point is 00:19:18 blocked him on the message messaging app too Weird experience but honestly what makes people think that they can that they are entitled to make such weird demands right from the second date plus lie about their past when asked considering the fact that I had been honest about my previous partners. Right there were so many red flags from the beginning. Right from the start. Right from the get-go. First of all the screen saver, second of all block. The coming up block. Third just the bloke block. Just there's so many things that are telling you there's something wrong with him. Yeah the obsession Yeah, can I use your mum discount? Can you pay for this? I mean, it's so fucking random. I
Starting point is 00:20:14 Feel like right you're right right the beginning. Yeah, I got your picture on my screen That would have been an automatic block block block like yours You're taking pictures of my image like my images plus I don't like the whole I gave him my number after he messaged me on Facebook yeah why would you give someone your number that you don't know oh she said there was a couple of messages yeah still it's um yeah said he had a crush on me for three months and used my pics as his wallpaper. Weird. Three months talking. So he found her picture, screenshotted it, he used it. He came across her on Facebook friends you might know
Starting point is 00:21:02 or just you know random. Saved her picture and then built up the courage to look at her looking I think I actually think he wanted to see if she would fall in love with him so she could buy things for him that's what I think that's what I think that's what I think I just think it's weirdo yeah top comment oh brother I knew you're Bengali as soon as you said Facebook no I don't know what Bengali, I think it's Bengal as in like Indian. B E N. And then she says too accurate. It's because we're not young, that's why we don't know what that means. Dating via Facebook as well, she got catfished. Yeah, it's talking about another region. Region? Facebook dating feature isn't available in India I guess. Weird. What's the Facebook dating feature?
Starting point is 00:22:14 Yeah so there is a new thing on Facebook where you can just go into a dating part and get a date. Why are we all on this whole dating app crap? I don't know. Damn y'all, way too retro huh? Gotta start using Facebook for dates. I don't understand, how does it mean that she's Bengali? Nobody in the country except us Bengals use Facebook. Oh there you go. And then someone else is like, Facebook? Facebook has a dating picture. What the fuck then? That's you. That's you, what?
Starting point is 00:22:48 They've turned Facebook into really worse. Facebook into really, oh my god. I like Facebook for the pages of like, where it all kicks off all the time. I like the marketplace, that's about all I go on Facebook for. It kicks off all the time. On, on, on a Wallington face group all they talk about is helicopters there's been a lot lately like that
Starting point is 00:23:12 school like that that's the post I think there has been one every single day this week which been police helicopters right anyway like they are yeah I just do that on face that's what people are Facebook, but when I was in the playground, does anybody see the helicopter? Mine's in my business because it's not a sunny day, you're just standing in the field because that's what I do, and you go, and you're looking at me, where the fuck is that coming from? And you're like, it's really low as well. Anyway. This one was like a tough mother. Look at the eagle! You're calling an eagle?
Starting point is 00:23:48 You'd know. You would know. They were kestrels, sorry. And they were red-tailed kites as well, but whatever. They were beautiful as well. They were beautiful, I'm going to call you that. Oh, thank you very much. And what were the other ones I've told you? The seagull. No, the little one. On the floor.
Starting point is 00:24:04 A red robin. pheasants. a pheasant. you know the eagles were eating the pheasants they were found body parts all over the place. there were lots of bones. and there were like rabbit body parts. there was a lot of bones. or hair I suppose they'd be wouldn't they? no it's probably rabbit. okay. either way. yeah a lot of bones. but yeah. I feel like Facebook is the older generation you need to get a life the way you're so happy about that you're really happy it's such a load of bones
Starting point is 00:24:37 this is what it was like Erin you got any look at the evil they were bought they were discovered This is what it was like. This is what it was like. Erin the eagle, Ellie looking for the eagle. They were discovered. They were discovered in the 12th century. And what happened was, and I was like, Borrow off everything. When we were dying up hills and stuff,
Starting point is 00:24:58 and that was how Progetive was to spot birds. And it was about, I was trying to stop myself from dying. It's actually Stuart's fault because Stuart taught me that the ferrets come from eggs. Ferrets. Get the fuck. Anyway don't hate. I wasn't I was agreeing they were beautiful and then I moved on. I wasn't I was agreeing they were beautiful and then I moved on You however, how could you die all day long? They were like literally following us like well They were waiting for us to die And right at the end when we get back to the car there was four other fuckers and they were like waiting
Starting point is 00:25:38 They were like oh, they made it I do want to do infinity again because yeah I can do better you can do better we can do better I feel like 515 infinity I feel like I need to sleep the night before I feel like that did not help me maybe we should consider getting it an Airbnb or something closer. Yeah. Night before. So we get a good night's sleep. The whole five o'clock out the door thing wasn't fun. Literally three hours, that's all I had.
Starting point is 00:26:12 And I was just like, no, that was a zombie-lized. Right, anyway, moving back to where we were. Right, would you date someone who is going through? No. I've got such a good idea for a fucking TikTok. So once we finish this, I'm going to show you what my idea is. It's so funny. It's so funny, but it involves you dating. Oh no. You haven't actually. No, no, no. Okay, fine. No, no, no. Imag, no, no, imaginary people Which I could get one of them What did he annoy me with earlier? Oh, right when the sun's shiny
Starting point is 00:26:53 The sun was shining when the sun's shining and you open the door he does this Hey fucking winds me up so much. Just turn your face away like a normal person. It's fucking all this right? winds me up so much just turn your face away like a normal person it's fucking all this right and I was like really fucking annoys me when you do that why can't you just turn your face away like a normal person it's really bright well that being the Sun probably is every fucking time. I'm not even chew up. Unless I am... Poor Paul. Fucking poor Paul. Fuck off. Fucking poor Paul. Fucking poor Paul.
Starting point is 00:27:34 It annoys me so much. Who reacts like that? I'm going to now. No! It just fucking angers me. I'm just like it's unnecessary behavior. It's like if he ever hurts himself and I'm just like me I'm like like a normal person. Yeah like breathe don't die. Just quietly to yourself. Not everybody needs to know that you've hurt yourself I've just ripped that open some more put it back down. Don't see me crying. Do you anyway? Odders now I am all just now did that earlier with a stone. Oh my god. Anyway anyway moving on again Would you you date someone? No. Who was going through a crisis?
Starting point is 00:28:29 Is a very short one. That's me. Yeah. That's like would you date me? No. No. Right. No. I've been on two dates with a woman and she tells me that one of her sons is an alcoholic who lives in her basement. It's America. It's better than having the bogeyman down there, isn't it? The son was hospitalized recently for pancreatitis and was warned that if he didn't stop drinking he's going to die. He still drinks. The woman I've seen says that she is worried that her son is going to die. This is pretty heavy stuff. Would I be an arsehole to stop seeing her because of this? What would you do? Well how long have you been seeing her for? He's had two dates with her. Yes. Stop seeing her. Back out. Yeah back out. You're not committed to
Starting point is 00:29:32 nothing there. Yeah. But absolutely like yeah. I can't be mad at you for it. No. I can tell from personal experience that living with an alcoholic or being near an alcoholic is very, very hard work. It affects you greatly. It being her son and he's been told you're going to die and he's still drinking, you're in for a fucking rollercoaster. Yeah. I 100% think don't do it. Because once you start catching feelings in that, you're fully involved in this fucking drama.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Yeah, it's not about her, is it? You're investing into that child as well, who is an adult, who is an alcoholic, who lives in the basement. Like, it's too much. It's too much. You don't have to invest yourself into that. Yeah, he needs rehab quickly because he's going to die doesn't sound like
Starting point is 00:30:28 she's gonna have so much to deal with after and it's not gonna be a nice death either. No no no no like he will be supporting her he'll be supporting him and then when when he does eventually die because I feel like people Pancreatic is serious. I don't think it's a quick death is it? No, it's painful. It's a long drag down The whole like the whole pancreas like it's painful anyway Because you know like in 99% of cases if you get pancreatic cancer or anything like that It's fatal and less literally literally caught from day dot And it's it's painful anything to do with your pancreas is painful but living with an
Starting point is 00:31:11 alcoholic is painful and you've got all this worry and even if you're like I'm not gonna fucking worry it's not the truth you do like the whole the whole thing is stressful so I'm with you. Right now it's it is her worry yeah but it it's not yours. Yeah it's too much. You are so just little toe deep in like you do not need to put your whole foot in there. The fact that she has brought this up like on day two is tells you you're already in for it because declaring stuff like that so early on is like a big deal do you know what I mean? And it obviously is a big thing that's happening in her life so it affects her clearly every
Starting point is 00:31:51 single day. Sometimes I think that's why... I need you to know this is what's going on in my life on a regular. Yeah. And actually I'm more than sure she'd be like, you can choose to back out right now if you want because... A hundred percent. But sometimes I think, is that why I don't drink all the time, but actually it's because I don't really like
Starting point is 00:32:10 the taste of alcohol, if I'm honest. Right, top comment. Hell no. Anyone who dumps all this on by date two has way too much going on in present enough to form a healthy new connection. She's disclosing this much about her family crisis so early on in your relationship. She certainly intends for you to get involved in it." It's true. I agree with that. She intends for you to
Starting point is 00:32:41 get... I think it's not... She intends for him to be... I think it is actually a, this is my day to day life, this is something I am going through constantly. So if you want to be part of me, this is something. So I feel like she's actually giving him the option rather than actually him getting involved with her and then eventually seeing it for himself and going, whoa, what the fuck, hang on. So two people here have gone into a little bit or three people, couple of people because of them. They've gone into a little bit of a fucking literally what you said. The way it was worded.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Yeah. So then the next person says, I would think that a dying child or being the caregiver to someone with a terminal disease would need to disclose right up front because that takes up a lot of time and energy. So then people are biting back now, which would be me, it would be us. I would think that if your child is dying at home and you're taking care of them, you'd
Starting point is 00:33:45 realize that now is not the time to go looking for dates. You'll probably also find that because this is an adult child and their doctors and possibly your own doctor or they all have cancers and whatever now, don't they in America, she's probably got people saying do things for you, like you've got this going on, you need to focus on things for you, you need to do positive things for you. I get it, but she's probably not because her head's probably... dating probably isn't the right thing. Yeah. But my mum had pancreatic cancer and was advice and was active for two and a half years. Life does not stop. It's a long drawn out fucking death.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Yeah I mean personally I think it depends. Unless you've met her and you've gone wow this person is amazing this is who I want to be with you are in a position to go I can't deal with that and I'm really sorry. OP feels that too much was disclosed considering they were only on date two, too much oversharing of life and family considering that they'd only gone out twice. I happen to agree with him. Yeah, a lot was shared but I also think she's also saved him from becoming involved in it unless he chose to she's giving him the yeah yeah yeah I mean yeah really she's done me in my favor but I think no no I
Starting point is 00:35:16 wouldn't stay no dude you've you've got so much more going on I'm sure then yeah getting bogged down in somebody else's yeah yeah crazy shit I just think it's difficult in it isn't it difficult for anyone right now dating I just there's too much mate yeah you're like no go on okay dating disasters with boob obsessed idiots I I did see that, I didn't say that. The last two weeks have been so annoying. I hate it when men just seek me out because of my chest and act like if I had cleavage in a picture it's because of them. Here Here are three disastrous incidences. One, I went on a date with a guy I met on Bumble.
Starting point is 00:36:12 We had fun date, but at the end of the night, he got really into me and was all over me talking about how he wanted to play those two huge things. We had chemistry so I let it slide for a bit, we fooled around but I knew he wasn't very serious. He drops me off and I ask him if I'm going to see him again. He goes, of course, I wouldn't be into you if it wasn't so and then never heard from him again except Christmas Day where he says he is not ready to date. Okay two the jerk on my Instagram who tries to get me to give him nudes all the time. Three the jerk on my dating sites who tried to get me to give him nudes all the time. Three, the jerk on my dating sites who tried to get me to give them nudes. Four, I was at the bar two nights ago and a guy comes up to me and asked if I yodel-y-hee-hoo.
Starting point is 00:37:20 I go yodel-y-hee-hoo and then he goes yeah you know yodeling because you look like those milkmaids who yodel and then he puts his hands out in a wide gesture referring to my chest. I like him already. That was a keeper yeah? that was a keeper yeah disgusting five today I went on a date to a movie and the guy after he dropped me home a perfect gentleman text me I couldn't help but be pleased with how big your chest is. I keep glancing at it. They were so huge. How is this acceptable behavior? Don't these men realize I have a human being and not a porn bot? What is wrong with them? Completely unacceptable behavior. Completely unacceptable behavior.
Starting point is 00:38:27 I'm glad they're pleased with her tits. That's fine, there's nothing wrong with it, but keep it to yourself. It's so caveman. It is so caveman. It is very caveman. Like, men are obsessed with tits. Honestly, it is okay to be like awed by a woman's physique. Yeah. But don't groping at her or texting. Making sexual gestures or it is unnecessary. Yeah it's not very
Starting point is 00:38:59 attractive for women to be... it's fine if you think think whatever you want you know what I mean but it's not we don't want to hear that shit no it does not make make us think you're the one no it's like yeah is that how you talk to women yeah so top comment says so vulgar I wish they could watch a man talk to their mother or sister that way. When it comes to boobs, many men don't ever grow up. Glad you're so giddy, but you're making me beyond uncomfortable. It's weird. Look at your tits.
Starting point is 00:39:38 It's weird, isn't it? It is just weird. Bo pieces maybe but I don't think it's about us at all but how men think it's theirs to talk about and give opinions. I mean I'm assuming she's got massive boobs. It sounds like she's got she hasn't given a real indication of size but saying that though babe we've been known to do that but talk about women's tits Keely's yeah but she's our mate yeah we mean it as a compliment as well yeah we're not like get girls out no like you got lovely tits mate yes yes yeah see we do that's what we do. That's what we do. But it's a compliment

We're like, wait, give me a minute No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,. We were going no, no. We were trying to look elsewhere. No, no. Oh, that was a good day as well. Honestly. Yeah, I think- Men, do better. Yeah, just don't be so vulgar. Think it, say it, talk to your mates about it,
Starting point is 00:41:02 but there's no need to text her that sort of shit. It a right put off yeah she's not gonna be impressed no go on right this is dating horror stories I was really shy when I was 17 and I was working in a pub there was this lovely girl who came in every now and then with her friends. One day I got up the courage to ask her out. I just blurted it out and she seemed a bit taken back. But get out of me! What? I love your tits!
Starting point is 00:41:36 Ah he's the one! He's the one! I just blurted it out and she seemed a bit taken back but agreed to meet me the following night at 9 in a different pub. So I got all dolled up, new clothes, borrowed aftershave, flowers, chocolates, the whole nine yards. I know I thought that as well. So I got to the pub and there she was with seven people including her boyfriend and his brother.
Starting point is 00:42:09 They asked what I was doing with the flowers and chocolate and like a true idiot I just started mumbling. She jumped in smooth as you like and said that it was for her friend who I was meeting Claire. With a bit of a shock to Claire who played along I hung out with them for a little while and Claire got up to leave and I went with her. She was generally thought I wanted to meet up with a gang of hers for a few drinks and make some new friends, but they couldn't make it out almost all the mumbling I had done about asking her out. Claire enjoyed the chocolates and flowers though and I got the shift with her another night can you imagine that oh yeah I don't understand how well how did why does she not say I've got a boyfriend boyfriend or I'm wondering if it is the way he asked. What did he say? If he said can I come out with you? Can I come out
Starting point is 00:43:32 with you? Maybe she thought as a group or will you go out with me? I'm trying to work out what was said because will you go out with me is very different than can I go out with you yeah cuz then I'd be like oh yeah yeah no like I got a good group do you see what I mean yeah it just feels like there was lacking information for for him on her part like yeah of course you can yeah me and my mates will be here on this day but i don't know um someone said you brought flowers and chocolates to a pub to a pub absolute mad lad still a thousand times more balls than i had when i was 17 maybe even now that i am 34
Starting point is 00:44:25 than I had when I was 17, maybe even now that I am 34. I actually think chivalry's dead. I think that's so sweet. You don't see that anymore. When you were going through your dating phase, did any of them bring chocolates and flowers then? What dating phase? Ages ago, years ago. What, before I got married, you mean?
Starting point is 00:44:40 No, after you got married and you started dating again. Amongst all the dick pics. No I got a lot of dick pics you lot's got a lot of dick pics. I know I really enjoyed them. Move them on to you guys. Every date. Especially Monday morning. Happy Monday Good morning guys! Have a good morning! Ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping! Um, I had a butt plug. Someone brought you a butt plug. Who brought it here? Yes! Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Was it used? I didn't touch it. I didn't give it a sniff or anything. So weird. Didn't touch it. This is my butt plug. I don't think, I don't think, no. I actually feel like that is lovely. It shows consideration. What the butt plug? Where are you talking
Starting point is 00:45:39 about? No, no, no, not the butt plug. No, not for a first date, second date party. No, no, not the Bucklacan, no, not for a first date, second date pie, no the chocolates and flowers. I thought that was lovely. Yeah, I just don't think people do stuff like that anymore. No. Which I think is a massive shame. Anyway, moving on. Excuse me. Anyway, moving on. Excuse me. My dating life is basically a disaster. I need to wine or a wine. Hit it off with a match what? I need a wine or wine. To wine or wine. To hit it off with a match on her recently. I believe this is
Starting point is 00:46:29 actual lesbians over 25 this is what's come under I read it I don't know how it ended up on my page but this is what I've got. It's a dating disaster. This is what's happened. So hit it off with a match on her recently. She was being very open, she was a very perspective and curious chatter. It's just really rare for me to feel like I want to know someone better and go on a date with them. After about a week or two of chatting, she mentions that she's just on there for friends. Fuck. And no it was not on her profile anywhere but she seems very new to these dating apps and stuff. Separately there was someone else that I found interesting which is also a very rare phenomenon for me. I like her a bit more every time I talk to her but that became a bit of a messy situation when I found
Starting point is 00:47:36 out she had a thing for a mutual friend, the latter of whom tried to matchmake us. I didn't know and the interesting person told me she found the whole situation a bit awkward and I just don't want to add to that. So I think I need to scream and get a few drinks, no particular order. and get a few drinks, no particular order. Oh. So it was a waste of her time. The girl weren't looking for a relationship with her. So the girl she was initially matched with decided that she was only looking for friends and then the next person she was talking to also had a mutual thing with a friend. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:48:23 And it was just like a eh eh. So the girl's a mess. There's what I'm saying. And it was just like a ehh ehh. So the girls a mess. There's too much going on there. Yeah she's playing, she's playing, it's like a waste of time. You only end up getting, getting hurt. Yeah. But I'm so tired of these emotionally unavailable ladies, but then they complain, no one carries the convo get off or the chocolates or flowers the chocolates are fake though when I show genuine interest it's creepy or they can't keep up it's fucking annoying I hear yes is OP but the way I see I ask the questions that I do because I'm generally curious and nothing else as low as these standards are I don't talk The way I do expecting them to show the same level of curiosity about me
Starting point is 00:49:13 So if they find it creepy or can't keep up that's fine with me I still meant the questions that I did and they didn't like it end of convo I can accept having to carry conversations a bit of if they're at least somewhat interested but I'm not about to force a convo. Oh man, I sound like a loser. What, with how low my bar is, I need to stop. Do you want me to keep going?
Starting point is 00:49:44 No, no. Talk about small talk and the lack of. At least it's not with just men. I mean. Right. Don't do it. My last one. I've only got one more.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Yeah, perfect. Are you ready? Yeah, go on. Why does it do that? Because of the door? the doors closed okay be honest when when were you you know when my brain does that I'm just like be honest when were you dating when were you the dating horror story oh okay sorry we went to a house party never never never never never been on a date and you're like actually I'm the problem
Starting point is 00:50:36 no I'm like have I? I've got to think way back when. Yeah probably I've probably been the problem. It was the problem earlier. Oh my god you're so dramatic! I went to a house party New Year's Eve with a cute girl I just met and right after the ball dropped we started making out pretty hard. After about 15 minutes I started to feel fairly sour so we decided to head back to her place. Turns out I had come down with a full blown stomach flu which ended up being intensified by the heavy drinking from the evening festivities. I had to try and convince the girl that I didn't know that it wasn't the booze and that something was wrong with me. I was so sick the next
Starting point is 00:51:37 day that I couldn't leave her place as venturing further than 20 feet from the toilet was not going to happen. My fever was so high and I was percolating between top and bottom and got lost on the way to the toilet in the straight hallway then beseeded to faint in her arms when when found when found coming round while I was confused staring at a wall I shit and puked in a house for a full 24 hours before I could muster up the energy and courage to make the 15 minute voyage home to my to my safety oh and she lived with her mum at the house as well so that's the story of how I first met my mother-in-law she's a very understanding standing woman. Great, wasn't it? So that's it, they got married and everything.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Aww, that's nice. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah, what a lovely story. Yeah, that's it, that's how they met, that's how they got married. What a great story. I mean it really would break the ice wouldn't it? I did something similar at the ex's first and second ex. Not the ex-husband, the ex. Yeah, his friend's house. First time I met them and the guy was like a farmer figure to him. Right. Long story. Anyway, he's taking me around there and we got takeaway and we were playing card games and they were topping my drink up. It was a big glass yeah and they kept topping it out with gin. You were like, yay!
Starting point is 00:53:45 And I really was like that. Yeah. And then I could feel myself slipping down in the seat, slowly going. Best night ever! Best night ever. Yeah. I know I got a little bit high rate with the game of cards
Starting point is 00:54:03 we were playing. Because I was like, Cheating! I got vocal and then I crawled up their stairs to go to bed where I then proceeded to... Were you staying? Yeah. They got spare rooms so I then proceeded to throw up in their spare room because there was a little ensuite. Okay, so in there but also on the floor. In the
Starting point is 00:54:26 ensuite. No in the bedroom. On the carpet. No no no it wasn't carpet it was hard floor. And then he got their towels. Why would he do that? Because he's not a very good guest. Why would he do that? Yeah and but then kept touching me and I'm like don't touch me! And I remember saying it as well. And then I did get in this is why she doesn't date anymore. And then the next morning I was just like oh my god God, I need some water. And he sort of ignored me because I was growling at him, like, don't touch me. And so I stumbled down their really steep stairs to their kitchen where she was already up like making breakfasts and stuff,
Starting point is 00:55:17 like my coffee's in pots and stuff, all very proper. You were like, here's your towel. And I was like, oh my God. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yeah. You're like, here's your towel. And I was like, oh my god. I'm so sorry. Yeah. It was like, you were brilliant. And I'm like, oh. I'll tell you what it is with you.
Starting point is 00:55:33 You haven't seen your bedroom yet. I'll tell you what it is with you. You very rarely let yourself go past a point. But when you do, you proper go past that point all or nothing yeah you need to go in it and I'm doing it you need to so there's the line right you come up to the line you kind of let you know that I'm that all or you're like right here you need to be here if you're doing it you go all out yeah but I always go out but I very very, very rarely go here.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Listen, I don't want to just get pissed. No, no, no. He's pissed. No, that's not pissed. No, it is. It's still in control. This is pissed. No.
Starting point is 00:56:13 So it starts here. He's in control. The minute I'm like, hmm, one more is gonna take over. Yeah, but you're not going there, you're going there. Yeah, but what's the point of just going there then? If I'm going over that line, I might as well just keep fucking going. So for me example this is where my nose and teeth go numb this is where I know
Starting point is 00:56:31 I'm at my perfect my perfect my perfect spot I'm okay to go here he's okay but whoa yeah so we go whoa and that's it and then we bring it back bring it back numbness wearing off couple more way that's how to do it i'm sorry are you telling me what to do because i feel like i'm a 41 year old because you're like here listen it's an it's a all or nothing yeah I mean do my thing or I'm gonna do my thing yeah yeah but in that time in in that space I don't get angry or aggressive no no no no I was actually really invested in this card
Starting point is 00:57:15 game and I wanted to win and you didn't I did actually you did apparently I did you're a fucking twat I don't know if they let me win just to shut me up but I did actually but yeah it was worth it and they had me come back again yeah well they liked you you're hilarious I get it take us home darling okay I can. I can't I just want it to be even because that's the sort of person I am. Unless she's there. Unless I'm over there. Then we get the towels out. No do you know what the reason I was sick was because I didn't eat enough in preparation. Prep. I had some noodles. Plus I think noodles don't line your stomach no they don't really they come back up as well I as new as full noodles full noodles didn't chew that I don't think I think sometimes gene can be overly
Starting point is 00:58:18 sweet which will encourage your body to get rid of it as well. Your body's like ill. It was great. Yeah. Go on. Have the best time. Ever. I'll see her again. No you won't. Yeah she's great. You're not invited. I don't know she's still friends with me. On Insta. Yeah. That's sweet. Yeah she's a nice girl. I say girl she she's a lady. Go. Okay, went on three disaster dates with the same guy. Oh, why would you do that? I don't know, one is the other. Let's find out. Yes, tell us why. I, 33, female, really messed up by giving this one guy, not one, not two, but three chances to go on dates together I've been sitting on this for a while but today I decided to share this disaster
Starting point is 00:59:11 date gem with future generations so y'all would appreciate this 23 male through friends we started hanging out together as a group everyone in the group always thought tod was an oddball a little quirky and socially awkward. At the time he was polite and sociable enough that we kept hanging out though. Not too long after I started dating someone else but I still hung out with Todd with other friends of course. After my relationship ended I told Todd about it and he started messaging me more often and wanted to hang out more. I wasn't doing much so I agreed. Through these meetups I kind of figured Todd was interested in me. When I asked him about his thoughts on going on dates he admitted he has no experience
Starting point is 01:00:26 and has never been on a date. I said that was fine but then he blurted out that when he met me the first time he thought I was pretty and he had a crush on me. But he immediately was put in the friend zone when I started seeing someone else. I was surprised because he showed no interest even before I dated my ex. Anyway we agreed to go on a date and see where things go. Date one. Todd asked me to pick a nice restaurant to go to for dinner and he said dinner is on me. I picked a mid-tier nice restaurant and sent him the website and menu ahead of time. He was good with it and we met there. The dinner itself was fine since we had been friends before but when the bill came the total was $70 he immediately asked me to cover half of it. I was surprised but agreed, mistake number one. I remember being annoyed and thinking, if you don't want to buy dinner
Starting point is 01:01:32 it's fine but don't say you will then you dip out last minute. The night ended with him driving me home right after we got some ice cream. Date two. I agreed to go on a second date. We went to see a movie, we got popcorn, sat down and watched the trailers. Just as the last trailer was about to end, he turned to me and asked what the movie we were about to watch was about. To which I said, I don't know, we're about to see it in 10 seconds. Tom proceeded, Tom, Todd proceeded to whip out his phone and googled the movie. People behind us were annoyed because his phone was really bright in the dark theatre. I told him to stop and covered his phone with
Starting point is 01:02:20 my hand. On the way out, I said what he did wasn't very nice but he said he didn't care and no one was looking at his phone anyway. That annoyed me even more. I don't like it when people aren't considerate of others and yet I agreed to continue seeing him. Date three. This one took the cake. We agreed to meet at my apartment so we could have lunch and watch a movie on Disney Plus together. Todd showed up one hour late with no texts, no calls and when he showed up at my door I could tell he rolled out of bed and didn't shower. His reason? His mum didn't wake him up in time to go to our date at 11am. I should have shut the door in his face then and there, but I let him in.
Starting point is 01:03:15 It got worse. He didn't want to watch the movie. He wanted to watch me play a video game and bucket seat play. Or backseat play sorry. I unfortunately let him do it for two hours. After I came to the point of saving the game I told him I wanted to stop but Todd kept pushing to continue. I snapped, turned off my console and said if you don't want to watch the movie you can leave now. Todd was confused but he left. Later that night I messaged Todd saying that I was done trying and I didn't want to see him anymore. He text back by asking what he did wrong so I gave him receipts by
Starting point is 01:04:01 listing everything. Todd understood and eventually apologized but he said he wanted me to give him a chance. I didn't respond. Three days later Todd asked to meet for coffee, which I agreed to because I was really ready to rip him a new one. And he told me he was not ready to date but he still wanted to be friends. Then he asked me to set up another hangout with other friends to which I said no. Big question, are we still friends? Todd occasionally sends me photos of his travels and life which I would always leave him unread. He has no idea I'm now happily engaged and I no longer hang out with him. I absolutely refuse to see Todd unless we run into each other through our mutual friendship groups. The lesson of the day
Starting point is 01:04:57 is I should have stopped on date one and saved myself from a headache. Thanks for reading. Yeah I don't think it's that deep. Like I just don't think it's as deep as she's making it out to be. It's none of that's really bad. They're just not compatible. Yeah. She's like making it like so you tried to kill me on date one and stupidly I was like okay listen I'm gonna give you another chance on date two. Then you tried to eat me and I was like you know, listen, I'm gonna give you another chance on date two Then he tried to eat me and I was like, you know what? Maybe it means to eat me So we went on date three and he actually ran me over with his car and I was like, it's enough They just weren't compatible. Like it wasn't that deep. He actually didn't do anything too bad
Starting point is 01:05:40 Do you find any of that stuff shocking? like out of control? I think not out of control but I think in the dating scene when someone's like yeah I'll pay and they're like yeah go hard. He's sort of like oh okay fine but it is a bit... I mean yeah but I get that right okay fine but I'll let you have that one. Just. But maybe he weren't feeling it as much either and that's why he was like, you know what, let's go hard. But the whole Googling in the movie thing, that would annoy me. Wouldn't bother me. Whatever. No, it would annoy me. It's not a big deal.
Starting point is 01:06:16 The woman who sat there during the movie I watched last time and I could see her scrolling through fucking Facebook and I was more like, Yeah. He's only doing what's going on there. I went and watched. I wanted to kick her chair. This vampire thing, it was quite good. I mean, I need to watch it again. It was rude.
Starting point is 01:06:30 But she just did not shut the fuck up the whole time. It's annoying. It was rude. But he literally googled in the last trailer babe. That's what she said. Yeah. So the last trailer had finished and he's going what's this about and he quickly googles but the film's about to start again just watch the fucking film
Starting point is 01:06:50 that is what you were my point is it's not that deep so they weren't compatible she's made out like he's this villain like that the way that she's like I has no idea I never see him. It's really not that deep. He seems quite immature still young Do you know I mean still like you know in the way mummy mummy had to you know, it's just ridiculous I it's just not that dirty toes. Not that deep. It's not that deep They're not compatible. It's as simple as that He he is now traveling doing his own thing and she's like, let us as he know, I'm engaged. I will never see him again unless I have to calm down.
Starting point is 01:07:31 It's not that deep. Nobody got hurt. We have read worse stories today. Yeah. In fact, she's annoyed me more than he is. She's pissed me off. Well, you must have really been bored to entertain that so long. It's not that deep, people.
Starting point is 01:07:52 OP. No, I was definitely not in the best head space and I felt bad for him. So I paid the price. Now she's a savior. Cardstander would never be friends with this girl. Someone advised me recently that you should never date someone because you feel sorry for them. Oh!
Starting point is 01:08:09 Or continue dating someone if you start to feel sorry for them, OP. A smart someone for sure. Oh! This is actually kind of advice because it's actually not fair to either person. I have the opposite problem. I feel so bad about the couple of times
Starting point is 01:08:26 I've rejected people it that it makes me scared of going on a date with anyone I don't really know I like. Better luck next time, funny story. The next time was much better because I'm now engaged so no more disaster dates fingers crossed happy ending congratulations if your honeymoon in the Keys I'll take y'all on a sailing sunset I tell you who else has posted on fucking reddit a bridesmaids brideszilla I'm telling you this bitch I could never I can go and doesn't Google movies right before he watches them haha and thanks for all the kind offers oh we've literally I can't talk about this bitch man it's not that deep it's really not
