30 Pathetic Dudes Who Just Can’t Accept No For An Answer
Dating is something that takes a lot of guts and experience from everyone who wants to be good at it. But nobody, not even your friend Trevor who spends all of his weekends chasing Tinder matches, is safe from making a fool of themselves. And some of these misfires can be painful not only for the two people who are on the date, but to everyone around them.
To prove this point, I'll ask you to take a look at the subreddit r/SadCringe. It's a place for awkward and/or embarrassing situations that also make your heart ache, and while we have already covered it in one of our older publications, this one is dedicated exclusively to pathetic attempts of winning over others.
I don't know if we should feel sorry for these folks or not — many from this bunch sound like they would fail a test in common decency. But let's try to judge their behavior rather than their personalities. If that's possible.

Genuine question: have these techniques ever worked? I mean EVER in the history of flirting? Where are guys getting the impression that these are the methods to use? I get that persistence is a thing in "RomComs", but some of these fall so far on the "Com" side that it's just not funny any more.

I am reminded of something that happened in the mid-1970s when I worked in a gas station. A coworker who was fat, ugly and a jerk called up a girl he knew a d said "do you want some company?" And not much else. A few minutes later she drove up, and picked him up. About half an hour later she dropped him back. I was amazed, mostly at her lack of self esteem.

Sooner or later there will be 'nice men' who come on to comment about how the examples show women as b*****s. What is really sad is how some of these examples show women being harassed for sex, for nude pics, being catfished and having their number used by strangers. Not all men are like this, I am married to one of them. But those men who aren't like this, need to call out those who are. Enough is enough. Women are not objects to fulfil the whim of men. We have the right to be left alone, to say no, to have our privacy respected, to be treated as human beings.
