This Online Group Collects Cringy Texts From Men And Here Are 50 Of The Absolute Worst Ones
InterviewIt is not a secret that women frequently encounter strange men attempting to message them privately. Whether it happens on dating apps like Tinder, or social media platforms, some guys go to great lengths to approach women. While a few of them handle rejection gracefully and keep the respectful tone of the conversation, others show a sense of entitlement, while displaying their rude character, and come across as cringy.
One of the subreddits called r/cringepics, where people share some awkward images, also features some of the worst text messages which expose the spoiled personalities of some of the men. If you're curious to get an idea of what we are even talking about, you can read some of these interactions below.

It’s Okay, Folks. It’s Just Role Play
"Lifts Your Chin..."... Ugh
Time To Find A New Job
Bored Panda reached out to the relationship coach Marta, the founder of MyCoachMarta, to ask a couple of questions regarding inappropriate messages men send to women. We wanted to know what are some common red flags that indicate a man might become disrespectful or cringy when approaching a woman online. We were also wondering how women can identify and handle such situations. We found out that: “The first signs tend to be already present in dating profiles. Non-existent bios or demanding lists of requirements are your signs to swipe left. Emotionally mature men looking for a partner put thought and effort into their profiles.
Next, we have the opening messages. Offensive, overly sexual, or disrespectful messages are unlikely to improve over time. Especially if those messages are met with a boundaried response that gets disregarded. Disrespect for boundaries is always a red flag.”

"Don't Come Over"
Well, That’s One Way To Ruin A Friendship
Marta told us more about suspicious behaviors that women should keep in mind: “Another telltale sign of questionable intentions is a generic first message that shows a lack of interest in the woman's profile. An interested man will make the effort to get to know you from the get-go. If he hasn't taken the two minutes it takes to read your profile, things are not about to get better.
Do we need to mention unsolicited genital pictures? The only response to those is an instant block. If something feels off early, don't hesitate to disengage or unmatch. There's really no need to justify your decision but if it feels right, a simple 'I don't think we're aligned but I wish you the best of luck' message is enough.”

We also wanted to know Marta’s opinion on what factors contribute to the persistence of certain men despite facing rejection from women online, and how this behavior can be addressed. The relationship coach shared with us: “Sometimes men mistake politeness and friendliness for interest, leading them to continue pursuing a woman despite the lack of reciprocation. Some men believe that their persistence will eventually wear down her resistance. As men tend to be pursuit-motivated, rejection sometimes adds an excitement factor, as winning her over despite it boosts their self-worth and affirms their masculinity. This, of course, feels very good to a man and makes it worth trying. The added level of anonymity of online dating might also embolden some men to try tactics they wouldn't attempt otherwise.
As women, we need to be upfront and assertive in expressing our lack of interest and boundaries. If the persistence becomes harassment or threatening, don't hesitate to block or report it. This is not the time to worry about hurting someone's feelings. I believe it is a responsibility we all have to keep each other safe in the online space.”

I hate men who have no confidence, like give yourself some credit! But I also hate the overly confident men too. Sorry Guys us girls can be confusing 🤷♀️ I mean just be yourself and be confident in being yourself.
Very Nice
Asked how women can establish clear boundaries in their online interactions with men to avoid uncomfortable or disrespectful situations while still being open to genuine connections, Marta explained: “From the beginning, a dating profile needs to be clear about what you are looking for. There's no shame in looking for a long-term partnership or some casual fun. We simply need to be upfront about it to match with people with aligned intentions. While you might get fewer matches, they will be better quality. This needs to continue throughout the early conversations. Don't compromise your values and goals for attractiveness and chemistry; focus on finding someone aligned with you.
There are plenty of decent people looking for the same thing as you. Be transparent about your goals and use the apps and date with those goals in mind. Remember, you only need to find one!”
Yikes
What The Actual F**k
Ugh 😑
Lastly, we were curious if Marta could give any advice to men who genuinely want to connect with women online but may be unsure about how to approach them respectfully and avoid coming across as cringy or entitled: “Take the time to read her profile and use that information in your initial conversations. This shows genuine interest and effort. Relationships take some work to succeed, so low effort as early as online dating doesn't bode well for the future.
Respect boundaries and understand that 'No' is a full sentence. While most women appreciate a man who leads, pushing us to more than we're comfortable or ready for will backfire. If she is not interested, accept it gracefully and move on. Insulting her in some form of retribution only makes you look insecure.
Show that you're genuinely interested in her as a person rather than focusing solely on her appearance. Compliment more than her looks! Keep in mind that women are not obligated to respond or be interested in you. Entitlement is unattractive and will only push her away. Building a connection takes time. Treat each woman as an individual, be patient, respond to her cues, and allow the relationship to develop naturally.”

Yeah, that's exactly how you start a conversation with a complete stranger. At least ask if they're a furry first!

hoesnearby = true is assignment, not testing equality and in some languages will always return true because the assignment worked. What he needed was: if (hoesnearby == true) or even just if (hoesnearby) as you can test a boolean value without needing to compare it to either true or false explicitly.
Wait For It
This is giving me serious anxiety for my daughter's future, I hope those of us raising sons now can do better than these guys parents obviously did. 😬
And this is where the problem lies, the parents need to be doing better but also the Internet and p0rn has a whole lot to answer for too!
Load More Replies...Not a text but: I was taking my little brother to the playground, and this 10 YEAR OLD came up to me and asked how big my boobs were. I left, and took my brother to a different playground. I was feeling extremely uncomfortable after that, especially from a little kid
i would throw my phone out of the window if i ever got any texts like this 💀
I just want to know: did anybody make it through all 83? I got up to #20.
I’d say once again I’m glad to be old, fat and ugly, but just the other day a delivery guy told me he was single and looking for a wife after asking if I lived alone… it never ends!
What is humanity coming to? This is somewhere between sad and revolting.
This is more 'men being stupid' but I'm remembering the time my brother told me we should be thanking men for actually giving us the vote and I just stared at him for a full two minutes just like...nope.
These stopped being funny very soon, at this point I am just reading to understand how not to talk in civilised society
As a man who has never been this cringe (even drunk) I know there is hope for the human race... Also, my friends are all of the 'don't be an unfathomable a*s' mentality, so there's a few of us in the area so geographically there's hope! Leave the incels to their angry online ranting.
Good grief. I've read my fair share of these "inexplicable male behavior" (my term) posts, and they still leave my brain scrambled.
What a shameless display of sophomoric misogyny -- I'm sad that I waded through this list! Sheeez! 8-(
I think most would block them after the message, no?
Load More Replies...Don't they do "not like other girls" posts now and again?
