Unbelievably (bad) date, so ridiculous I had to sharePage 4 of 4    (1, 2, 3, 4)
I was a hunter most of my life, killed many animals, never once slit one open to feel its heart beating nor have I ever heard of such a thing. There are good hunters and bad hunters, hunters who hunt for sport and hunters who hunt for food and hunters who just like being away from their wives for a weekend. Most of the hunters I have known are really good people, the ones who aren't I wouldn't know whether they hunt or not. I hope the idiot you went out with doesn't spoil your opinion of all hunters. There are no Marine contract killers for the military, there are Marines who obey orders, do the best job they can possibly do and go home, hopefully.

I think you did exactly right girl. Most people that don't follow their gut instincts live to regret it. And the guy was clearly unstable. Like another post said as women we cannot usually grapple physically with men. So we have to keep our eyes and ears open for signs of danger. At the very least they weren't compatible to date and she paid for her half of the meal. After all its too late to second guess yourself when your in the trunk of his car!!! Men who don't get her perspective either lack common sense or have been called creepy one too many times themselves lol

Im an animal lover who would have difficulty slitting an animals throat to finish it off, let alone watching its beating heart.

Proving this fellow was a sadist who got his kicks from brutality to animals. Other hunters on this thread have said this is something they would never do, it goes beyond the sport of hunting into the realm of cruelty.


But leaving in the manner you did was rather childish .He had every reason to be pissed. Sure what he said was distateful and lacks tact.. but so was what you did. YOU were the cause of the bad date.

Seriously, would you have had the OP stick around and have him reveal more nuggets from his hunting adventures and perhaps place herself in real danger from this bloke by telling him face to face she didn't want to proceed with the date?

I think she did the right thing and this person's reaction proved it.

then the wierdo factor goes to the extreme when he tells me that the best part of hunting is when he talks about how the best part of hunting is when you get to an animal before it dies and you can slice it open and hold its heart while it stops beating.

I do not know if this is practiced in the States but in some countries in South America they hunt wild boars and they do it with knives. No guns, no bows and arrows, simply knives and on foot. You may say this is kind of sick, but then a very gentleman like sport, like Fox hunting, when they find the fox, the dogs rip the poor animal to pieces.

I have heart the above being described, not necessarily taking the heart out, but the rush of the hunt. I can't say that I share that enthusiasm.

Now OP, you did the right thing. The woman that I was in a relationship with for 5 years was married to a man that tried to kill her by inserting a knife in her neck and then try to open it with his finger so she would bleed faster. He was also a boar hunter. So go figure.

I have to say I can't blame her for hightailing it out of there in secret. I'm an animal lover but I have no problems with people who hunt for meat. Not a fan of people who hunt just for fun, and especially couldn't handle some guy who got off on holding some dying animals heart as it stopped beating. WTF???! That crosses a whole new line of sadistic and she was right to sneak out and seek safety. How could you trust some guy who gets his rocks off from death? He could have possibly followed her home had she allowed him to watch her leave. He also could have become upset (as he did afterwards - wishing death on her) and tried to attack her. Best not to take chances with someone who creeps the hell out of you. Gut instinct is there for a reason.

If one of your clients had come to you with this story would you have told her to forget it?? Think you should have taken it forward for the sake of other women he might hook up with ??????. Surprised that someone in your position just let it go?

Rule of thumb; Red flag= bail ...dont matter what way you do it....keep your self safe,keep a clear calm level strategic mind,and analize,and read your date as best as possible,that crazy fear in the pit of your stomache ,and if your heart feels like its stuck in your throat,and you panic it is up to you to be completely aware of your safe get a way...

unless of course he IS the authorities. On fathers day, one of my college friends stunningly posted an ancient "family" picture of her family, when she was a baby. Her dad was prominent in the photo. He became a Seattle judge and was very wealthy and revered his entire life. He molested all of his kids their entire lives, and her older brother blew his brains out in the parents back yard one day, never having even left home as he was so damaged. The judge never served a day and was an abject criminal monster for 30 years in Seattle.

ouch... I am really really sorry.

Did she say on the published photo what her father did? It is reprehensible when people like that decide the fate of other people like that.

I remember one first date was a cop who was REALLY bitter... during our meet he said if a stranger walked up to his ex behind her and shot her in the back and killed her he'd throw a party and hi five the killer.

Needless to say that was a last date with that particular person...

Good for you and trusting your instincts. They saved your life.
I have had my share of bad dates (most of them from this site) and had to walk out when my boundaries were not being considered. Luckily, my date was a putz and not a psychotic hunter.

Nice exit! If anyone had told me about the beating heart I would have to leave immediately. I'm wondering was he a sociopath or a psychopath?

Yeah i think it is rude to walk out on a date but i think this one qualifies as an exception. I grew up hunting and fishing in the sticks of NC, but ive never ever rushed to an animal to cut its beating heart out, only to dispatch it as quickly as possible if it werent yet dead so it wouldnt suffer. In fact this is the reason i no longer hunt, i feel terrible for killing a magnificent creature. But theres a difference between humting and killing, killers take the kind of joy this guy displayed. So i dont blame you for getting away, and doing it so suavely.
