NGVC: "Not Interested In Me? But I'm A Nice Guy! Must Be Racism"
Boredest Panda 11 months ago
I love how people say “I’m a pretty nice guy” after saying something pretty not-nice.
Unfortunately, there have been guys making unwanted and, frankly, horrible advances for, probably, much of human history. Over a hundred years ago, in Washington D.C. Alice Reighly formed an “anti-flirt club” to help women avoid the attention of men while out in public, mostly by educating younger women on the strategies unscrupulous men would use at the time.
In short, men would offer women walking somewhere to drive them. A Miss Helen Brown stated in 1923, that "Too many motorists are taking advantage of the precedent established during the war by offering to take young lady pedestrians in their cars.” It would appear that some men will get very creative when it comes to obnoxious flirting.

Men Like This, You Make Me Sick
just this morning - three separate guys on this app told me they were horny/had wood. completely unprovoked. this was the third guy, and as you can probably tell I was annoyed. it felt good typing that last message. finally deleted the app (which tbh I should've done a while ago, don't know why I didn't) but this was the final straw. men like this are truly disgusting.

I'm assuming this is a dating app where men think they can be as crass as their wee little brains want. Even if it's a "hookup" only situation, there's no need for this lewd behavior.

Dug Up An Old Text I Received In 2021
Got takeout one day and went on public transportation with my bag of food. Already had a bad feeling, I knew I should’ve taken the receipt off. Not even sure what he looks like, but this man stole my number off of the ticket on my bag. This happened years ago, but this subreddit inspired me to find this and post it here.
Even more well meaning men tend to misinterpret signals all the time, through a lack of understanding context clues, lack of experience or just good old fashioned delusion. As surprising as this might seem, a woman working in a customer-facing job smiling is probably doing it because she has been told she has to.

I Didn’t Give Him My Number, He Got It From My Vacuum Rental Receipt
After this interaction I called the rental place and told them what happened. They called back and apparently he was fired. I hope that taught him to never do this creepy stuff ever again! Also, the rental receipt literally had my address on it. Thankfully this was during a move and the paperwork had my old apartment’s address. Still so creepy to think about.

None of this sh!t is new. In the dino-days before texting, I witnessed a car accident. Pulled over to help the lady who was hit. Others did a well. The speeding driver who hit her was arrested and the witnesses had to give statements on the spot. One a-hole, whom I never talked to at the scene, watched the officer write down my phone number and called me the next day, under the pretence of aligning our witness statements. Told him to f-off. The creeps keep trying - stay vigilant.
Of course, many of the examples here don’t even have that plausible deniability. A delivery driver texting the number attached to the account that ordered some Door Dash is just ridiculous and gives the entire profession a bad name. Enough women have had bad experiences with this to make it more than just some isolated instances.

Some of the most disappointing creepy texts I've received. Was talking to this guy on tinder for several weeks and we were really hitting it off. I genuinely looked forward to talking to him every day. We moved to text messages and this happened. I had to cut communication after this.

I've had my share of crummy conversations in dating apps. But here's a nicer one: there is this one man that I had 2 dates with about 5 years ago, & he still sometimes sends me a very polite Merry Christmas text. I have no idea why he does this, but I love it.
Elladine DesIsles 11 months ago
Every time one of these articles is posted, I am so very grateful to be a queer woman. Which is not to say that women can't also be toxic and disgusting sometimes, of course; I endured one very abusive relationship. And it certainly didn't make me immune from gross treatment from men; when I was young it definitely elicited some really sexist and sexualized reactions. But I've never had to wade through this kind of misogynistic, incel garbage in the course of routine dating and people-meeting. I would lose my mind.

The correctly poll response is “Block,” but that seems not to have occurred to the poll maker. Yuck; these made me feel queasy. I also note that I’ve not yet seen a compilation of creepy texts from women to men. Surely there are enough for a single article, aren’t there?
