Is this rude ? Calling someone or something they do basic

This guy asked me out and I said yes and he asked me what I'm doing and I told him I was going hiking in vail . And he said I will withhold the "basic" comments for now.

I actually kind of offended by that comment like who cares if its basic and why do people say that anyway. I kind of dont want to go on a date with him if he's going to judge me on something I really enjoy doing .

That type doesn’t improve. 😔
@Keepitsimple You're right, sadly. This is when they're on best behavior, so things can only go downhill.
Keepitsimple · 56-60, F
@bijouxbroussard Yes and they didn’t even go out yet!
mwoodl21 · 31-35, F
@Keepitsimple were not going to either hahaha
LOL! I think what he meant was just the usual common questions/comments that one asks about hiking. And he said withhold, means he might be getting late for an appointment or something....maybe he will discuss it with you later, at your both's leisure.

If it's rude to you then yes it's best to tell him that it offended you and to not do it again, cos he might have just thrown it out like a casual joke
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
@mwoodl21 what does basic mean to you? Cos (kinda pathetic to base my standard on what social norm is based on youtube) but a lot of people joke about themselves being basic and it's sort of like to turn a negative connotation of being spoiled or mainstream and stuff into a yeap I am, but so what? *snaps fingers*

Oh I've thought it was belittling , like you would call stupid girls who love starbucks basic
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
@mwoodl21 but then that would be degrading to every girl that loves Starbucks as just stupid...although obviously.. some would be lol I know it's going against my initial comment of to tell him ur offended by it, but to be offended by it would just proof u are basic and not self aware that well hiking is a common sport, but of course take it with a grain of salt cos I know there are some other words that people think can just throw around but I know at least secretly I'll get very offended lol or start acting passive aggressive which sucks ass but sometimes it's the only way to get my point across muahahaha

its condescending
SW-User
Lol. I don’t think the people nowadays seem to recognize it as a condescending term. Maybe he just saw it as a ‘phrase’.

Perhaps he saw no harm in it... which might also be a deal breaker for you. Idk

@SW-User i personally find it offensive and kind of immature
DoubleRings · 51-55, F
what does withholding basic comments even mean? i don’t get what he meant
mwoodl21 · 31-35, F
@DoubleRings right?? like why would you insult someone who you just asked out , i think he was trying to be funny but it didnt come across as funny
DoubleRings · 51-55, F
it doesn’t even come across as meaningful - in any way.
So "basic" is negative ? I don't really understand the comment, but yeah, I also would not want to date someone who was starting out critical of my hobbies. Hiking sounds like a really cool way to spend one's day.
mwoodl21 · 31-35, F
basic is making fun of someone for liking trendy thing and saying that just follow trends with no individuality. For example , a "basic" girl is someone who loves pumpkin spice lattes , binge watches sex in the city and are obsessed with fall. its stupid who cares if you are sorry i like things that alot of other people like

@mwoodl21 Jesus Christ, does that mean I'm a basic girl by that math? :P
@mwoodl21 I guess it doesn't occur to him some activities are popular because they are fun to do...definitely a red flag.
SW-User
it seems kind of odd that a guy would ever use the word basic when talking to a girl he is interested in. kick him to the curb…
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
He said that he would withhold the basic comments? Or ordered you to withhold your comments? I don't think "basic" is the issue here.
mwoodl21 · 31-35, F
no he was saying , that what I like to do is basic , because I asked how it was and he said this
1.vail
2.hiking in vail
3. loves fall
4. loves fall leaves

does that make sense?
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@mwoodl21 not really.. can you send me a screenshot of the communication? If you want help understanding the situation that is.
mwoodl21 · 31-35, F
sure one second
mountainguy · 51-55, M
Hiking is awesome. Avoid that guy like the plague.
SW-User
I wouldn't. I'd tell him to fuck off lol.
mountainguy · 51-55, M
@SW-User yes, hiking is the anti-basic!!
SW-User
@mountainguy I find it relaxing. Nature is my antidepressant
mwoodl21 · 31-35, F
I know and I have rheumatoid arthritis and it is one of the few activities i can do
He sounds like a condescending twat. Dump him already or pay the price later!
