I don't like to paint with broad strokes and I try to avoid stereotypes whenever possible. That said, we as men tend to ask women some incredibly dumb questions from time to time. Trust me, I speak from experience.
Sometimes it comes from being nervous, other times they're derived from pure ignorance. So have a look below and check out these ridiculously dumb things that these women of Reddit were asked on a first date.
Reddit user Sand_Dargon was asked whether or not she'd ever killed somebody on a first date. She further clarified that she's a member of the Armed Forces, but still — you just don't ask someone that question.
While out for dinner, Redditor Missyls6 made the "mistake" of being polite to the waitress waiting on hers and her date's table. He sarcastically turned and asked her if she planned on continuing to be nice to everyone for the rest of the evening.
"Had a guy ask me if I was really attached to my children. When I didn’t answer and just made a questioning face, he went on to explain that he doesn’t date women with kids (single mom was clearly stated on my profile) so he was hoping I’d say no and…just get rid of them I guess?!" - Reddit u/ATVig
A first date is a lot like a job interview. Meaning, you have to ask a lot of questions to show your interest and warrant a callback. But if all you can muster is "My place or yours?" then you should expect to have a door slammed in your face.
Reddit user coellan is an amputee, having lost the part of her leg below the knee. She says that the most common question she gets asked, on a first date or otherwise, is "How do you have sex?"
Before the opening credits started to roll at the movie theater, Redditor kittyt0es's date asked if she was ticklish. She replied that she wasn't and didn't like being touched, so he proceeded to try and tickle her for the duration of the movie.
During a stroll through the park, Reddit user willow0281 was asked, rather bluntly, if she was into fisting. Her date doubled down by saying that if she was not, then this wasn't going to work.
Redditor therandom83 explained to her date how she has a university degree in biology. His response was "Wow! So, like, what was your major?" She feels confident that he must've smoked a lot of weed before their date.
Reddit user starwaps date decided that he wanted to take her on a hike through the woods. When they'd nearly reached the top, he turned to her and said "What if I would’ve brought you all the way out here to murder you?"
"Once a guy didn’t ask me a single question for two hours, so I decided to point that out. He got annoyed, sighed, then said ‘How heavy is your flow?’" - Reddit u/glasstambourine
Reddit user Which_Apartment6250 thought she'd met a nice guy at a church program. While the two of them were walking home after service, he turned to her and said, "You know, I could rape you right now." He laughed, as if it was funny, and she ran the rest of the way home.
Reddit user makpat arrived ten minutes early to dinner and discovered her date was already there and had ordered for her. He became incensed and asked why she wouldn't eat the soup he'd ordered for her. She explained that it was because it was shrimp soup — and that she was allergic.
Reddit user LateNightCheesecake9 got roped into paying for tickets to a sporting event, as well as all the food and drinks while they were there. After being kind enough to drive her date home, he turned to ask her if she'd ever been arrested. Then, he showed her his mugshot.
That may just be the crappiest first date story I've ever heard! Word to the wise, fellas, you may want to keep your sexual preferences quiet until you actually enter into a relationship with someone.
After a few enjoyable dates, the guy that Reddit user GiftRecent was seeing began sending her unsolicited links claiming that the war between Ukraine and Russia was a hoax. He was genuinely perplexed when she chose to end things.
It seems like a harmless enough question, right? That's what Redditor Unkownuser35 thought when she was asked the same thing by her date. He then explained how he only dated girls with late bedtimes so that they could prepare/feed him snacks while he gamed late at night.
Reddit user Suspicious-Party-950's date asked to see her again and then informed her that he was still in a relationship. He explained how he was considering leaving his current girlfriend, so long as their date went well.
For my entire life, I always believed that the only "stupid questions" were the ones a person didn't ask. Now, I think I may need to rethink that philosophy.
As if that wasn't bad enough, Reddit user witch_hekate92 explained that after her date asked this incredibly rude question, he then prompted her to do the same thing to him. Why you trying to flex, bud?
"After a pretty much normal date, we were in his car in front of my house when he gestured to his boner and said, 'well?' And I just laughed and got out of the car. He didn’t even get a goodbye kiss." - Reddit u/punctuationist
