You know when you look at a man and he’s good looking, has good chat and decent arms. And you look at him and you think “hmmm, I bet he’s a great kisser”?
You know that feeling you get, the blanket of disappointment when you find out, actually, he isn’t.
My weekend = that.
Oh crap.
My weekedn also – not so hot, decided to call it quits on something I recently started with someone. Feel a bit deflated today. Bu at least I can stop thinking about it now I suppose
Urg, it always sucks when you have to give up on something. Eat some chocolate and drink some wine. It’ll make you feel better (although possibly not at 8:30 in the morning)
I take it you won’t be repeating it then? Although if you did, you could consider him something of a ‘project’. TD said he was an awful kisser until, at the age of 19, his then-girlfriend couldn’t take it any more and showed him A Better Way.
If I ever meet her – and they are still good friends so I potentially could – I’ll probably have to use a fair amount of will power to not thank her
It’s just so frustrating! You’d think that once men got over the age of 25, they’d have enough experience to know how to kiss properly.
*especially* if they’re good looking.
As for the teaching role. We’ll see how it goes, eh?
Oh yes. Been there. Such a disappointment! In fact one lovely guy, early 40s, that I dated was so DREADFUL at kissing I had to break up with him. I am convinced that it the only reason he’s still single. At that age old dog’s do not learn new tricks. I know, I tried.
Breaking up with a man because he can’t kiss is not a crime. You tried to teach him. He wouldn’t learn. You have to break up with him. It’s the only way.
I may start up a kissing school for chronic bad kissers. I’m sure I’d make a fortune.
I’ve broken up with a man for less… he jumped out of a bush at me after watching a scary movie at the cinema. He thought he was funny. I thought he was an arse.
Dumping someone for kissing badly is nothing to feel bad about
There’s no dumping to be done in this case. It’s a question of whether I can be bothered to persue it now that I know he needs “work”. I’m so lazy
Does he seem like the type who can be taught or does he know he’s good looking so he thinks he doesn’t have to try hard?
Hmmm… an interesting question. A bit of both I think. Let me ponder on that a bit.
Hmm – an interesting one. I have kissed a fair few princesses in my time – a number of frogs and indeed one Gribbler!Kissing I felt is always a personal thing – some people just do it differently to others. I have kissed many a woman who I considered bad kissers but they obviously didn’t. I think it is a case of working together – and on occasion forcing your own style on proceedings.
However if it definitely doesn’t click straight off – try again a few times or just move on as its not meant to be. And telling a guy how to kiss needs to be done with Kid Gloves. Us chaps like to think we’re best at everything and our pride is shallow. Obviously we all know I’M best at everything but there we go!

I know the kind of women you’ve kissed FF. The thing is, if you think they’re bad kissers, they probably are and just don’t know any better. Hence the need for a decent education programme. Of course, when it’s a drunken snog in a seedy nightclub, it doesn’t really matter. Good kissing is only really important when it’s done on a long term basis.
Ha – love the fact you feel you have to warn me about men’s egos. I used to live with 5 of them, remember?!
At least you got to kiss someone this weekend!
My weekend = sitting at home alone and watching movies on HBO.
Movies on HBO sounds awesome. At least you didn’t have any hangovers!
‘scuse me?! Where’s the details? Where’s the long-winded explanation about the pecking/face-washing? WHYYYYY?
Oh, and you can’t teach them. I’ve tried. It just never works out.
Hi Susie – welcome
You want details? Erm… it was all a bit slobbery for my liking. Too much straight on lunge with tongue. I like to take things a little… gentler. I’ve had some success with teaching. N was taught. And very good he was too
Can he be trained?
We’ll see.
Will keep you posted.
Blimey, you ladies are harsh!
Thank goodness I am long past the apprehension of the first kiss scenario, after reading this I’d want to read a manual of instructions beforehand.
Not that there’s ever been any complaints of course
Some poor chap is happily wandering around Switzerland blissfully unaware that his slobbery, stiff tongued technique is currently being dissected on the interweb.
Thankfully, the man in question will never know. There are, however, people who read this who know him. I just have to hope that they don’t blab
I feel for you Nutty. I have also been there and, like you say, it’s a big disappointment. And, yes, yes, I know you can apparently `teach’ them but I’ve always found (just call me a snogging slag if you like) that their original starting-off wet dish rag type style still remains (even if less stomach churningly). One particular chappie in this respect springs to mind – we shall call him The Piano Man. Now he was very good looking. So much so, that I think he was a little bit in love with himself too. And so easy on the eye was he that I cannot describe the wet your knicker pants excitement froth I found myself in as he leant towards me for our first kiss – only to end up with my chin covered in his saliva and wishing I was dead. I think the best manoeuvre here Nutty would be just to move on and chalk it down to experience – failing that, you could always invest in a baby’s bib and super absorbent kitchen towel if you’re tempted to give it another whirl?
This comment made me snort with laughter. Scaring my colleagues. Thanks
Kissing, or as I call it, kissing, is very important. If a girl can’t kiss she’s toast, even if she’s an enthusiastic devotee of the Karma Sutra. No nice kissing = no nice touching.
Four. I have kissed four girls who all failed the kissability test with flying colours.
All I’m saying is it’s not mutually exclusive to boys.
No, you’re right, it’s not.
Who knows, I might be a terrible kisser and there might be web pages devoted to how awful I am.
*the horror*
Blurgh. I’m sorry. That is just a horrible feeling.
A slobbery feeling
Pingback: Sure! Let’s meet up! What’s your number? « Parlez-vous moo?
Never one to lower the tone but the same goes for BJ’s and staying true to the thread, BJ schooling would not be a bad thing….
*dons robe*
What HC said.
But also… there are, I’ve been told, a substantial number of men (and not a few women!) who could also go to cunnilingus school. It’s a bit like Hogwarts. But without broomsticks. I am the school swot.
I would not attend any cunnilingus school that went by the name of Hogwarts. That kind of talk leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
