We asked the women of Reddit to give us quotes from men that ruined first dates they had been on. Beware, some serious creep and cringe is within.
1) “I know you have pets but I really don’t like animals, so if we get serious you’ll probably need to give them away.”
Submitted by snapkangaroo
2) “I think your job sound kinda cool but have you ever considered doing something sexier or more compatible with being a mother, like being a nurse or a teacher?”
Was his response to me telling him I’m an insolvency lawyer.
Submitted by aitchbee
3) “The educational system is really fucked up. Teachers get paid way too much money, and most kids should be homeschooled.”
I’m a teacher.
Submitted by MuppetManiac
4) “I don’t believe electricity really exists.”
Submitted by UnicornMeatTaco
5) “I’m going to jail on Thursday for 6 months, because I left the scene of an accident.”
I pressed him further. Last year he hit a woman who was j-walking and he killed her, then fled the scene.
In his defense:
“…she was just a drunk prostitute.”
WTF

6) “I think reading fiction is a massive waste of time.”
I read a lot. Someone not reading much is not a deal breaker itself, but that attitude sure was.

7) “You haven’t fucked a nigger, have you?”
That’s just the direct quote I remember, before that he was talking about how any woman that’s slept with a black guy is “ruined.” WOW nopenopenope Fuck that shit! There was no the rest of that date, let alone a second one!
Submitted by Codegirl
8) “So, do you wax? I don’t sleep with women with natural bush, just so you know. I’ll tolerate a landing strip but nothing more.”
At this point we have been on our first date for about ten minutes. The guy and I had initially met at my favorite coffee shop and I eventually had to find a new favorite because he kept harassing me when he’d find me there.

9) “I enjoy making feminists angry”
Submitted by BlueBerryJazz
10) “I spent a month in jail in Palestine because this girl accused me of raping her.”
He then ordered for me, tried to feed me, got mad at me when I ate the crab cake off our appetizer because he wanted some (moments before he told me he was extremely allergic to crab.)
Submitted by Piewhackit
11) “I believe the man should call all the shots in a relationship, don’t you?”

18) “Are those tits real?”
We met at a restaurant. I thought he was a gentleman because he pulled my chair back for me as I sat down. I can count on one hand how many times this has happened.
That was the first thing out of his mouth.
I was so shocked by the question that my mind went blank and I became sick to my stomach.
I gave a false laugh and than excused myself to go to the ladies room. I could not go out the front door because he would have seen me leave so went out the emergency door setting off an alarm but I was so upset I did not care and just ran to my car.

That was followed shortly by:

It was one of many red flags. Every girl was talked about like they were just a horrible person for letting him go.
