how did he do it? We need explanationsI matched with this chap. Didn’t notice the hair until after
Surely it’s better to shave it all off. I quite like a shaved head.

Oh dear… I’ve been dating a guy who has hair like this… except I didn’t realise because he seems to use some kind of spray on substance to cover it up
Only noticed when we were getting up close and personal, and I spotted all the dark brown spray speckles all over his forehead
visions of him spraying his hair on every morning have killed a 10 year crushOmg yes. An ex always did this, and used to say 'can I give you a hug' 'do you need one of my hugs'Men who brag about giving good hugs.
The worst is when a lad says cuddles or snuggles. Like ‘come here for a cuddle’ or ‘you coming to ours for a cuddle’ vom 
I've got another list. It's a long one, apologies.
1. Serial "one uppers". Guys( or people) who can't even wait for you to finish your sentence because THEY have done that exact thing, or better, or ____ happened to them!!! Even if your story was bad, theirs is WORSE! And if they haven't done it, " I've got a mate/ friend who did ________". Jesus, take the wheel because I'm not dealing with that.
2. If they won't let you get a word in edgewise or noticeably talk more than you to where you feel overtaken. Usually I spot this early on and it's an instant ICK but sometimes it's too late to make a quick escape and you have to endure it.
3. Guys who get into or even consider MLMs. I grew up around people who were into these and I can't even tell you how much I loathe the whole thing. If a man is not intelligent enough to stay away from something or he thinks he can get rich quick, I'm outskie.
4. Guys that don't take care of their bodies yet call out stuff about you. One of my exes ( we didn't last long because he rang me on Christmas Eve after 8 months dating because he forgot my middle name) didn't keep tidy or very clean below the belt and would expect things, yet one time told me that he could see the peach fuzz on my chest and face. He had hair all over his back and moobs.
5. Guys that think they're hot. This may be one of the things I hate the absolute MOST. Especially guys on tiktok who do a "sexy smile" and think they're just dropping panties. I always want them to get served a punch that flattens them out ( maybe even by someone's Dad), a la Don Johnson in "The Other Woman".
6. Guys that want to pay for everything, and especially the ones who insist " I want to treat you to dinner, I really want to take you out, I want to take care of this"... blah blah etc. It's halfway about independence for me but the other half is definitely that I feel like I am indebted once they do that and I don't like the leverage of the money over me in any given thing. Maybe I'm weird on that. Usually I never end up going out with them just because of the way they've already made it clear they're paying and insistent about it.
7. Guys who start sending voice memos when you've only just met them. no.
8. Guys that start planning a future and talking about you as if you're going to literally join their life and family after you've been talking a few weeks. One of the first guys I've talked to did this. I never met up with him because he was displaying a whole red flag parade. But him talking about that and children was such a big put off, v clamped right on together ( especially because I'm child free by choice) lol.
Gosh, I just had to get that out lol. I'm sure I'll be back with more but I wanted to give my thanks for these threads. I have fallen off the bed, hit my head on the bed, trickled a little pee and literally laughed till I was having hot flashes while reading these.

Yes totally agree with these!
spot on. Especially number 1. You'll be telling quite a cool interesting story and they'll just be like oh I can do one better than that etc etc. They normally are the type of guys who can't spell either or who didn't get very good grades. Or the type of guys who think they're better than you so they fish for compliments all the time....so what is it about me that made you swipe right then...like what you see followed by the 
emoji The whole money thing...yeah do they do that so we feel we owe them sex or something? It's nice that they pay but not all the time for everything.
Guys who lie and say I've deleted tinder and bumble now we're talking....when we haven't even met. Such liars.
Or when they say “where’s my hug”Men who brag about giving good hugs.
omg yesss all of these. My university boyfriend was one of these guys
Men who have big bums to the point where it looks like they have a bbl and men with disgusting feet like it's not that hard to atleast cream then
and men with disgusting feet like it's not that hard to atleast cream thenthe feet are GRIM. Feet in general, I tell you. When I was at cosmetology school and found out we'd have to do a required # of pedicures, I'd just retch. And even worse when the men came in. Who knows why; someone who attended must have invited them, great thanks a ton.Men who have big bums to the point where it looks like they have a bbl
Didn't help when one man had his balls hanging out and we were eye level. Had to ask him to put a towel on his lap; not sure what excuse we all made up that the towel needed to be there.
But I remember dating the first guy I ever saw in high school and we were sitting at a pier and he had sandals on, and out of the corner of my eye I couldn't quit looking at his feet like a trainwreck. I wanted so bad to look away but it was like a petri dish, you just get curious albeit disgusted. He had a couple yellow toenails. I should have maybe just jumped in the water and gone under. Men's feet just really skeeve me out.
A bloke I worked with used to have manicured nails and he used hand creamhe was married but having an affair with someone from the same office so there were two weirdos into him.
he was married but having an affair with someone from the same office so there were two weirdos into him.Those two are ones I'd be very wary of. They are signs of someone really controlling.
The thought of a man sitting and concentrating setting up a klarna account, then using it to buy fast fashion 
looking at the models on the website thinking oooh yeah I’d look nice in that, then being made up cos it’s £3 a month to pay off

Too much hair gel
Turn ups on Jeans
Calling you Babe when you've not even met (or even if you have)
Overuse of emoji's
GYM SELFIES!!
Crossing legs or worse sitting with a leg underneath them
SKIING PICTURES!
Simon Cowell style 'heeled' shoes
Velcro on anything
Not brushing teeth before bed
Bucket hats
Talking about their ex and relishing in it.
Tucked in t shirts
Smoking
Seeing you as thier life coach and wanting you to fix them (I get this a lot as I'm a trainee psychologist - either pay me or bugger off!)
Jeez, no wonder I'm single

I’m sitting in McDonald’s right now and there’s a man (late 20s I’d say) sitting on his own eating a chicken nugget happy meal and he actually opened the toy as well 
ick ick ick
ick ick ick
I have an uncle Darren(aka Uncle Nobhead) he listens to Basshunter and once bought Hi Tech copy trainers. He also takes packets of bacon on his holiday to Turkey so he can try to bribe local restaurants for money off meals.Oh god those are the sort of trainers the darrens who listen to basshunter wear
WHAT?!
Bacon is a rare delicacy in Turkey?
This is exactly what I said when I first heard it lol Hes a proper cheapskate, waits around for the discounted food at the supermarket and will drive miles and miles cos a garage is cheaper and stuff. But yea he takes bacon to Turkey to try to haggle for cheaper food and stuff in Turkey.....
Oh just remembered another one, he did the overnight ferry to Bruge and instead of paying to eat onboard, he bought a ready meal and tried to get the kitchen to heat it up(they didnt).
Oh... Oh my!! That's got to be the most wild level of cheap I've ever heard!
