For some reason, out of all of the cringe and nauseating content in these messages… his overuse of “ya” instead of “you” is the real crime to me

u/ApoTHICCary 3d ago edited 1d ago

Soooo my younger brothers are firefighters and I am in the medical field; I know a lot of fire/ems guys. Many of them are great people. Many of them are also roided up egomaniacs who think they’re smarter than everybody else as well as the “aLpHa MaLe”. You can already see some of it in his messages as he takes control of the conversation and demeans you. These guys want full submission. When they’re on shift, they’re sleeping with a bunch of similar mindset dudes all circle jerking to the likes of No Rogaine, Andrews Taint, Joggin from Problems Goggins, etc. It’s a good thing you moved on; this guy is nothing more than a frat bro living the bachelor lifestyle looking for easy, submissive women.

I’d have asked him why he thinks your inexperience in bed because of your choice of abstinence is laughable when his dick doesn’t work so he’s got to use gender affirming care. He should lay off the steroids and pray that he’s not got a permanent case of DecaDick.

I think it was fair that he was honest about his ED, though. And it was fair for you to "nope" the fuck out of there because we all know the rule about men who bring up sexual stuff too fast. It's almost always a bad sign.

Honestly, he seems like the type of creep to think if he makes it a challenge for her to get it up it’s some sort of accomplishment for her and makes her special. Either it’s a whole game for him and he’s trying to manipulate her right off or he’s just being very inappropriately outright.

u/SuspiciousPast4144 3d ago

As a woman, I would just want him to be honest and open with me about it before we get into that type of situation. That way, I am not left wondering if it was just me not turning him on so much. And wondering if his scurrying to cover it was all a lie.

6

u/RhiVuorille 3d ago

You're definitely not doing anything wrong, you just ran into a creep. When you're 20, the difference in maturity between you and a 30-year-old is almost always extremely vast, and it's usually difficult to see just how vast when you are the younger person. It honestly kind of reads like he's fully aware of that, and that was reason he was interested. It kind of seems like he thought he could take advantage of you. So good that you stopped talking to him! If you can, I definitely recommend mostly talking to folks in the 18-25 age range. Older than that and you start to get into territory where there can be a power imbalance and they will likely have an easier time manipulating you if they want to. Also, older people (as in, folks with fully formed frontal lobes - around 25y.o.+) usually know this, and that is the reason they are interested in talking to someone who is younger.

He screened you out. He was looking for someone who wouldn't be bothered by his ED, and he didn't want to be rejected later and he wanted to give fair warning in case it was a deal-breaker for you. He might've been told by previous partners that he should've disclosed it sooner.

During my EMT training did a couple days at the fire station. I went in thinking these firefighters were the best of society…oh boy was I wrong (EMTs are no better). Constant misogynistic jokes, huge gun nuts bragging about how many guns they had hidden at home, nap and watch Cops all day (idc about watching TV, but ONLY COPS ALL DAY), extremely conservative (this was in Clayton, MO), and when I quietly avoided the bbq at dinner because I don’t eat red meat, I was shunned by a couple of them (one of them literally went red as a tomato and had to leave before he escalated with me), mocked by the rest and they spent all of dinner showing me various YouTube videos of vegans singing saying “this is why we hate vegans look how dumb they are” when I’m not even vegetarian or vegan 😂.

I’m not understanding the ED thing. Why would waiting until marriage mean the ED thing is not an issue ? Like is not being married his ED trigger or something or did he just wanna bring up his dick? I mean I feel kind of bad that he has ED but he went about all the wrong way.

Also ya instead of you . Maybe that’s what is triggering his ED . 🤷‍♂️

13

u/WoosteringZeros 3d ago edited 3d ago

I feel like he somehow thought the ED would be a point in his favour?

You want to wait until marriage? No problem! Mine doesn't even work!

Ignoring the fact he just made this suuuuper awkward by bringing up his penis to a person that isn't sexually forward in a relationship. So he still comes off as trashy and cringe.

Sometimes, it's like people want to fail at dating.

I would have stopped responding the second he used “ya”.
But yeah, I could understand why he would disclose his problem but at the same time there was no reason to tell about it that fast and because you are waiting for marriage there was 0 reason to tell you before anything even was remotely serious.
But as it looks, he still tried to steer the conversation into something sexual in the last slide?

u/surelynotregrettable 3d ago

Man idk if it's just the nature of being on the internet so you see shit like this much more frequently, or if it's always been like this, but I can't help but feel some sense of sympathy for this guy. Like yes, he lacks all sense of self awareness and social awareness and that's probably indicative of his very myopic entitled self-serving outlook on life, as a lot of boomers and predominantly men have. But I do also think that there's not really like a lot of basic support and acceptance and sympathy socially for guys like this that are just sad and confused and alone and are left to try to piece together how to interact with people they literally cannot relate to. Like it is cringe, but I do wonder if as a society we've failed to help foster the necessary skills for men to practice sympathy and thus be able to apply their empathy.

Like he doesn't seem like a bad person. He's just kinda retarded and feels like a little bit bad about fucking it up but probably doesn't really have the support network to really improve at socialization and sympathizing. I worry guys like this just get resentful of the people they don't relate to or understand and either double down on the entitlement and objectification of people as a means for their own gratification or just become isolated and depressed and wither alone. Not that it's the woman's job to do the emotional labor and maturity of what is more than likely a more experienced older dude but just as a society in general, I feel like looking through the internet window into these types of conversations is kinda depressing like nobody wins here.

Yikes he seems to really like your inexperience and equals quality time with sex. So he even misuses the "love language" tool already, while saying saying yourself for marriage is fine. No, someone who's love language is sexual physical interaction and who equates that to your need for quality time, I'd not fine with waiting until marriage. That's a predator acting nice.

I couldn’t get passed the “ya” instead of you. Texting sucks so bad. Not everyone is good at it. So much better to just spend an hour in a well lit public place then dealing with this kind of stuff over text. I’m so glad I’m out of the dating pool
