A woman has expressed concern over red flags in the early stages of a potential relationship, after a man she’s been texting repeatedly commented on her clothing size.
Turning to the UK-based online forum Mumsnet for advice, the woman explained that while they had been texting daily, they hadn’t yet gone on a date. Despite an age gap between them, the man had been complimenting her appearance, focusing on her “curvy figure.”
However, things took an uncomfortable turn during an in-person conversation. The man mentioned he had a question but wasn’t sure if it would be inappropriate. After some prompting, he asked her “what size” she wore and proceeded to look her up and down.
The woman, who was caught off guard, didn’t provide an answer, and the man went on to guess her clothing size, admitting that he thought she was “two sizes larger” than she actually was.
“I was a bit taken aback and didn’t know what to make of it,” she recalled. “I asked why he wanted to know, and he said it was just curiosity. How would you react to this? Do I let it go?”
The majority of responses to her post expressed concern over the man’s “creepy” comments, with many advising the woman to trust her instincts.
“It’s not a strange question in itself, but in the context you’ve described, it would flash warning signs. Trust your gut, if it feels weird, it probably is,” one commenter advised.
“I would assume it was a kink for him and be put off instantly,” another added.
Others emphasized that most men wouldn’t be concerned with a woman’s specific size unless it was for a gift, such as clothing.
“It’s weird so early on in your relationship,” one person remarked. “If you’d been going out for a while, I’d suspect he was planning on buying some saucy underwear or something, but you haven’t even dated or kissed yet. The fact he guessed one or two sizes above what you are – I’m not sure how I’d take that.”
In agreement, another user wrote: “He doesn’t like you and is not interested in a romantic relationship. He wants to f— you and is trying to push things in that direction as fast as possible. He has some kind of fetish for larger women, probably a porn thing. In short, he is gross.”
