By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

Recently a female friend of mine went on a date with some guy she met off tinder. Now she reports that all was well and she had a nice time, the guy seemed a little put out when she got a taxi home alone!. The next day he txt her saying he didn't want to see her again as "he didn't find her attractive" understandably this hit her pretty hard and I've said he just wanted his leg over and has said that to hurt her. Personally I'd have said "your a nice lass but I can't see us going anywhere". So am I right or just soft and should be brutal on the let down ha??

I've had some horrific put downs. I think for some men its their ego boost, especially if you don't put out on the first date/meet.

One of the worst said I was too quiet, a freak and a right skinny runt and my pictures were obviously me before I was really ill...

Tell her she has had a lucky escape, and that he is a twat!

I would of said something similar to what you said, But you can't knock him for being honest, it's just that some people say it how they see it

She's dodged a billet there! He's the kind of guy that would have shagged her and then dumped her. If you're genuinely not attracted to someone, kindest thing to do is to text them and say you didn't feel there was a spark/chemistry between you. No need to be nasty about it!

No mate not at all but there's a right way to do things. If he said "I had a nice time but don't see a long term relationship out of it" that would have sufficed rather than "I think your a dog". I always speak my mind but I'm not cruel just for the sake of it

Telling someone "he didn't find her attractive" isn't even harsh, it's his opinion and he's entitled to it.

If she feels unattractive because of it then that's her problem. Not like he said she is unattractive to everyone, some people will fancy you and some won't...how's that harsh?

Of course he is entitled to his own opinion & there's no point seeing someone again if you don't fancy them.

I just think telling someone they're not attractive the next day was a put down when he could have said thanks for a nice night but you're not my type.

hang on did he say she was a dog? You said he'd said he wasnt attracted to her earlier.

Theres a difference between being honest and just being plain nasty and rude. If you can't tell the distinction then you don't deserve to have human interaction.

Exactly, this whole thread is his interpretation of what went on. The only fact stated so far is the text message "I don't find you attractive". And absolutely nothing wrong with it. Moral crusaders be crusading though.

Even though he could've put it better (and from the sounds of it, he just wanted a shag anyway so she's probably had a lucky escape), to be fair to the guy, he said HE didn't find her attractive. Not that she was unattractive...

I know

I am guessing by the 175th post, he will have called her an 'unattractive ugly bitch who deserved no love ever, no man would ever go near her' and she should hide in the house and only ever leave it during the hours of darkness and only then with her ringing a bell.

If they asked why you turned them down it's slightly different I guess from just saying it to turn people down off the bat, but I'm still not sure I'd actually say so - there are so many people with issues about themselves I wouldn't want to make anyone feel shitty.

I'm not sure what is so difficult to understand about that.

In my mind if you don't find someone attractive it's perfectly acceptable to say so rather than making some fluffy pc excuse which would be a lie.

Maybe it's a problem with me that I appreciate straight talking.

Whatever, I don't really care.

I don't think trying to be mindful of other peoples feelings is much of a hardship.

But what's so bad about telling someone you don't find them attractive? Providing its worded like that and not yelled at them in aggressive manner it's hardly considered offensive."

There's a difference in saying 'I don't find you attractive' to 'you're not attractive' though.

It's just about having some tact. I'm a great believer in honesty but I don't believe you need to be unkind to be honest.

"so who referred to her as a dog? the man being slated on one side of the story, actually 2 sides, hers & the op's.... or the OP as HIS interpretation of what the guy meant

Exactly , it's the whole he said , she said and who knows who said what ?

I know

I am guessing by the 175th post, he will have called her an 'unattractive ugly bitch who deserved no love ever, no man would ever go near her' and she should hide in the house and only ever leave it during the hours of darkness and only then with her ringing a bell.

"

no, by the 175th post the OP would have painted a perfect picture of his friend with the princess syndrome . OP im sure your friend has dusted it off her shoulders by now , or did she come crying to you ? Rejection is a good thing especially if you dont take it personal and reflect on it . The trick is to aim higher next time. what the guy said was his honest opinion and theres nothing wrong with it.

"I've had some horrific put downs. I think for some men its their ego boost, especially if you don't put out on the first date/meet.

One of the worst said I was too quiet, a freak and a right skinny runt and my pictures were obviously me before I was really ill.

Someone actually said that, wow!! Pretty despicable are my immediate thoughts.

Him"

Yeah, and worse. Its one of the reasons I took a step back from meeting from fab for a while.

Thank you Artemesia for your kind comments too

Absolutely nothing.

I also think it's also unnecessary when you don't have to focus on one thing you don't like about them - the thing that they may be self conscious about. Tact.

Like I said, different folks different strokes.

Tact is overrated it confuses people and gives false hope.

This probably explains why I'm single... "

Probably explains why a lot of people are like they are......

For what its worth Lib is spot on.

I would always maintain my own level of tact when faced with these type of scenarios and the men I would choose to do so with reciprocate that.
