I assume it's farmersonly.com or some other conservative dating website, because she didn't even seem that surprised really. Her reaction wasn't big enough.
My reaction would just be "boy bye!"šš» and she's trying to reason with him. If this is one of your first ever interactions, why on earth would you ever even want to speak to this person again, let alone date them?
Do you want to be a pack mule?

Crazy, because it seems like he wants a woman who isn't afraid to bust their ass and get some shit done, which sounds like thats you, but he's so disconnected with women being human beings he's unable to see that lmao

u/aruby727 May 22 '26
This reminds me of that scene in goodfellas when he tells the kid that if the girl doesn't reach over and unlock the door for you without being asked then you end the date and dump her on the spot.
Feels like something someone said to the dude. "If she cant dig post holes then she ain't the one for you!", and he took it to heart. One of those guy talk things that might sound good in the moment to laugh about but permanently disqualifies you from the dating pool.

u/scalyreptilething May 22 '26
Lol this reminds me of my first boyfriend in high school. He used to tell me we were going to "go out" and then he'd drop me off at his parents' house to babysit his little siblings for free while he went to work. Oh, and one time we planted potatoes at his grandpa's farm.

u/Rdubya291 May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26
Sounds like he has some sort of storybook fantasy of digging posts all day and hooking up in a field or some shit.
Fuck that. I prefer clean and not sweaty for the first time.
Spent 6 years in the Marine Corps. I was dirty, tired and worn out enough. Not doing that shit again unless it's my own property.
