Damn, given away my whale parentage.

And I thought it would be my strange noises and thrashing about that did it.

Peacocke,

I'm not going to condemn this man. I've never met him.

I'm not always perfectly behaved myself.


I can at least admire this man's honesty. He said what he thought. It sounds like he wasn't the sort of man to just say what he thought others wanted to hear.

He sounds like the sort of person that I'd be happy to have as an acquaintance. The sort of man to share a few jokes with and not take too seriously.


But I wouldn't want a romantic partner who was the female equivalent of him and I can fully understand why you dropped him like a stone.


As Tommy Boyd used to say on TalkSport Radio "Most people are objective about others and subjective about themselves. It'd be better if they were more the other way round"

Peacocke: ...I met a guy who was very physically unattractive, he said so himself, with an ugly personality to match- he was arrogant, insecure and belittled people to inflate his sense of worth.(he actually rated me on my looks on our first date...to my face and told me I was lucky because he didn't usually give girls a 9/10, except one other girl who was better looking than me...lucky me eh?)
...


Sorry Peacocke.

I got the impression from the 2nd paragraph of your original post on this thread that he was brutally honest.

He said himself that some people thought he was arrogant and 'brutally honest' but he said that was 'confidence'. Only he confused confidence with arrogance. No confident person belittles everyone around them whilst fishing for every compliment going.
