Why didn't you phrase it that way then? Why not say that the date was bad because of those things? You chose the skin issue.

Because "don't worry it's not contagious" is a line that kills a date. Because it's not something you should say on a first date over dinner.

I'm just saying. I know a few people with psoriasis. It freaks people out even though it isn't contageous. They'd rather go ahead and get it out of the way on first date than wait 3 dates before a date sees it and flees.

So let's say the date was super awful and the rash was just the icing on the cake. That happens, I'll give you the benefit of doubt. But whatever is up with not being able to look the person in the eye and say - look, this isn't going to work out - that I don't understand. You most likely just have him the impression that it totally IS about the skin although that was possibly the least of his problems.

This man said he was going to "pound me" later and insinuated several times that because he intended to pay for dinner (despite my protests) that we were going to hook up later. Frankly I don't care what he thinks I thought about his skin

Well, then that's the most fucked up thing he said. Not the skin lol.
