View submission: What’s the weirdest / funniest / dumbest ick you’ve ever gotten from a (potential) romantic interest?

When a guy I met through online dating gave me a geography quiz on our first call: Name all the continents, he dared me. I got everything right. Then he told me most women are too stupid to get it right.

"Weird how a woman qualified to date you is also too smart to date you, huh?"

I hung up and we never talked again.

Lmaoooo, well said. He needed to vet you to see if he had the option to manipulate you 😬

Tbh I wouldn’t call this an “ick” - this is just straight up asshole / dumb fuck.

I shouldn't apologize for my gender, but I apologize for my gender- that's patently dumb, good for you.

Weird question to ask cus depending on where you grew up you answer differently.

Either 4, 5, 6, or 7 continents hahaha

There's no global consensus on how many continents and what to call them

I may have sung the children’s song.. Asia, Africa - North and South America - Antarctica, Europe - and finally Australia!

That’s an American problem. I would be really concerned too if my date couldn’t name all the continents.
