Someone asked people to share stories about men who never ask questions on a date and the replies came pouring in
We’re grateful to someone called Maddie Holden who went on Twitter – where else? – to ask people to send their stories of men who asked them zero questions on a date.
if you've ever been on a date with a man who asked you zero (0) questions about yourself, please slide into my DMs or email me at [email protected] to talk about it for a piece

If Maddie thought this was a thing, it turns out she was absolutely right. Here are a selection of our favourite replies.

some early observations from my bursting DMs: men who have travelled a lot seem to be particularly insufferable

a lot of men will just straight up talk about their dicks on a first date, often for several minutes at a time????

lots of men apparently more ready to talk about TV, socrates, amnesty international, acid, monogamy, war—and to perform songs, adopt the downward dog position, and do magic tricks—than to ask the human women (and men) they are presently on a date with a single question

Ok I can’t remember the lack if questions BUT I was wearing a reversible top. White with navy strips on one side and just plain on the other. So I nipped to the loo and swapped my top over. NOTHING.

Honestly I have this problem just with my male friends. After we’ve talked about their problems for an hour I wait patiently for a ‘so… how are you?’ and if I held my breath I’d be dead a thousand times.

here’s my impression of a man on a date with a cute, hilarious genius with a fascinating career and a heart of gold: hey i forgot your name and we’ve talked about me for 6 hours but do you want to see literally every photo in my camera roll?

One highlight was a guy who talked about his “life changing” trip to Nepal for so long and didn’t breathe or ask my thoughts at all- I actually grew up in Nepal and didn’t get the chance to talk enough to even mention that

YES. And about ten years ago I instituted a 30-minute rule. If they don’t do so within 30 minutes I get up and walk out.
