There's a sense of " missing piece of the puzzle" to this one, even though there's not any of the usual key phrases. He's expecting an " easy", uncomplicated slotting into his life, expecting you to fit right in with the sports talk, and be ok with being teased, by his mention of sarcasm. There is nothing at all in there about meeting your needs as a partner. My guess is he's bringing his two boys up to have a deep seated misogynist attitude. Women are there to serve, join in with their interests and be teased. It's a hard pass for me.

Oh, goody, a combo pack of rhet pats!

- My Kids Come First

- Fluent in Sarcasm

- Missing Piece of the Puzzle

- Amusement Park Life (or very limited person, as only into sports)

- and my own: You Don’t Even Factor (‘something’ is demeaning, ‘easy’=not low but no effort, ‘natural’ and ‘feels right’ = everything is about me)
