Phone message told a guy i didn't want to date him

Post image

i wish i had the part where i told him i didn't want to pursue things too (something like "hey i think you're cool but i don't think we mesh very well", i was polite) so that it could really be understood how much he blew up lol.

he sent me this same message on instagram and snapchat as well🫠 very glad that i didn't end up in a relationship with this guy

edit: guys this is an old screenshot. i thought me saying i didn't have screenshots of parts of it would make it clear it was old, but it didn't and that's my bad. this guy has LONG been blocked (i blocked him directly after this screenshot). i found this looking for a different photo and found it funny enough to post. that is all.

Wild how they use so many words to say they don’t want to talk to you instead of just, you know, not talking to you.

u/vixenstarlet1949 11h ago

so many men do this all the time they want a woman and when it is not reciprocated they call us ugly/stupid sluts and insult us. like, you were begging me to sleep with you but since i said no now i’m an ugly slut? lmao .

13

u/Dpontiff6671 10h ago

It's not an excuse but a lot of guys don't know how to process being hurt emotionally so they default to anger instead. It's a really shitty cycle that dudes really need to try to work on

u/Jealous_Parfait_4967 10h ago

Mike Birbiglia has a joke that goes ā€œwhat I should have said was nothingā€ and I feel like it should be assigned as philosophical reading.

10

u/vixenstarlet1949 10h ago

Oh boo hoo lmao they hurt women all of the time if we can handle it they can get over it

7

u/vixenstarlet1949 10h ago

There is no excuse for calling a woman you wanted to fuck an ugly slut

9

u/Beautiful_End479 5h ago

I think that’s why the first sentence of his comment was ā€œit’s not an excuseā€ and the last sentence was ā€œit’s a shitty cycle guys need to work onā€. Did you literally only read 1/3 of the comment??

u/Plane_Sentence5907 46m ago

I’ve no sympathy for men that call women sluts

u/Em-BiggeneD 2h ago

It is a complete failure of brain function, there can't be any logic processing. Think about it- what does it say about him that he wanted you a min ago?Ā 

In a similar vein, I went to a baseball game once where my team lost, a bunch of drunken fans of the other team saw me wearing the losing team logo as we were trying to leave the stadium and starting taunting me about how my teams sucks.Ā 

Here's the thing- it was actually a really good game. Both teams did really well. Its actually a huge compliment to the winning team that they overcame such evenly matched players. I laughed to myself on the way home because if you think about it, saying my team sucks was an insult to theirs. It shouldn't have been a close game if they suck. But you can't apply logic to these idiots any more than the guy in those texts. I can't understand it and I hope I never will.

u/Plane_Sentence5907 47m ago

Insecure so they act aggressive when a woman shuts them down. They are telling you who they really are when they don’t get their own way

u/insidevoicepleas 11h ago

i mean. yeah. it's normal to respond to a message. he was blocked directly after the last one. this is also over half a year old, i just found it while looking for something else.

9

u/Jealous_Parfait_4967 11h ago

I get it, and I meant him texting you. ā€œI don’t careā€ is pretty negated when he sends 75 texts to say it

u/insidevoicepleas 11h ago

oh lmao sorry for misunderstanding, a lot of people in the comments are saying the opposite😭 yeah i dunno, and the fact that he also sent it on 2 other apps is crazy

it's funny because i literally did block him and then he kept messaging me on other platforms which is why i decided to respond to this one before blocking him there as well lol

Do not engage. Stop responding

u/Clamato-e-Gannon 4h ago

No theu aren't sad and op needs to heed it. Atop responding and keep blocking.

Unless you have an active police report that you need evidence STOP RESPONDING

Or they are violent and might attack you. In some circumstances it is best to maintain minimal basic contact just to know where their mind is at. So you know when they are angry obsessed and may harm you.

I love when men get rejected and call you a slut because damn, I’ll slept with a lot of people but not you still? What’s wrong with you?

u/insidevoicepleas 11h ago

slut = sleeping with a lot of people, but slut also = sleeping with nobody

u/nogoodbrat 3h ago

when they said ā€œslutā€ what they’re really saying is they hate you because you aren’t sleeping with them, lol.

It’s Reddit. Most people are gonna assume attention seeking with post like this. Glad you kicked this loser to the curb !

12

u/insidevoicepleas 11h ago

yeah true😭 i just posted it because it was funny (and also pathetic on his part), it's a really old screenshot that i found looking for something else, i have not interacted with this man in a long time

u/sheepsclothingiswool 11h ago

u/nogoodbrat 9h ago

so tired of how 90% of the comments in this subreddit have devolved into WHY DID YOU RESPOND??? WHY HAVENT YOU BLOCKED?? as thought not suffering in silence means we’re desperate for attention. this was like a two minute interaction. everyone in here trying to turn the tables on OP is outing themselves as the type of creep that judges women for being mistreated by men lol.

u/SweetSure315 8h ago

i just saw another post about a fucking 16 year old girl having a 26 yo man trying to slide in her DMs and half the most upvoted comments were asking why she didnt block, why did she accept the chat, etc. it's fucking repulsive how much slack pedos on reddit get as long as they're a man

5

u/insidevoicepleas 8h ago

well why did she decide to be 16???

2

u/SweetSure315 8h ago

that's the real crime here

3

u/wackbirds 7h ago

That's a backasswards way of looking at it. Let's say I like hiking through fields but I keep getting my legs cut up from the sharp grass plus I've been getting ticks. If I tell someone about it and they respond by suggesting that I protect myself by wearing solid boots and pants when I go on my hikes, they're not blaming me or trying to protect the sharp grass or the ticks, they're giving me a way forward that takes into account the reality of the environment I'm entering that will allow me to navigate it in a way that protects ME, that's what happened on that other post, I saw it also earlier and its no different every other similar instance.

-4

u/Ill-Fail-9217 7h ago

Why did she even put 16 on her profile at all? Just don't have your age and the pedos wont be attracted to u lol

Yes it's fucked up, but she's basically inviting it.

3

u/SweetSure315 4h ago

you think 16 year olds telling you how old they are are inviting you to dm them?

-1

u/Ill-Fail-9217 4h ago

Not me personally, but to creeps? Yes. They see the age and that's what they target. My point is, no age in bio = no pedophiles dming you

2

u/SweetSure315 4h ago

hey man generally when you have predators in a space the solution isn't "hide the kids" over "aggressively and quickly removing the predators". cuz then it just seems like you prefer the pedophiles being here

0

u/Ill-Fail-9217 3h ago

It's a preventative measure, not a solution. Solution would be locking them all up or sentencing them to death and I wish we would.

But why advertise youre a minor? That's just asking for weirdos to message you.

u/SweetSure315 3h ago

you sure seem focused on what the kids doing and not the pedophiles, man

u/Em-BiggeneD 3h ago

I wish I could explain why some guys do this but I really don't understand it at all. Is the thought that now you'll reconsider? Or does it make him feel better like this is some sort of way to make you unhappy for his own vindication?Ā 

I'm asking because honestly, I see so many similar examples but as a guy, I really can't relate. And I was once a young idiot too. What the hell is this?

Ok, don’t get me wrong at all. He’s a piece of shit. However, you could have stopped texting him long before all that. I may have never gotten a double text from a woman I’ve matched with. Either he’s really good looking enough that you wanted to keep it up or I’m genuinely ugly as fuck.
