“Would Never Be Okay If The Roles Were Reversed”: 40 Creepy Things Women Say To Men

I hate this trend with a passion. You like things neat? OCD! Feeling sad? Depression! Slightly uneasy? Anxiety attack! All it does is trivialise the REAL problems faced every day by people who really suffer from those conditions. It's also a trend to use the term "sexual assault" from anything like someone touching your shoulder to actual rape. Non-consensual touching or physical contact is never acceptable of course, but to use the same term to refer to it as to actual violent, physical assault just dilutes how much more serious the latter is (in my opinion)

Yeah I have depression, anxiety, PTSD and spent 15+ yrs self harming (also recently diagnosed with autism and ADHD.) I spent the first 18yrs of my life being severely neglected and abused before ending up homeless and battling alcoholism (was completely sober by 21, 17yrs sober now!) so hearing some idiot claim to be traumatised because someone told them no for the first time in their life makes me so mad, odds are they know nothing about real trauma.

I agree with this. Diagnosing without any knowledge of psychology is ridiculous. I just say 'she/he was nasty/rude/whatever to me. What's wrong with that? And please save me from the self-diagnosed 'neurdivergents'.

I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and C-PTSD by mental health professionals. Few things about me more than seeing someone change their mind about something and saying "OMG, I'm SO bipolar!" or being slightly shocked by a photo of something and saying "O. M. G. I'm going to have PTSD now." Mental illness isn't fun. It isn't cute. It's a complete pain in the rear, and it can be debilitating.

OMG, where's the "safe room"! I'm so "triggered" by all of the "trauma" from the "narcissists" I've "hooked up" with during my weight loss "journey".

The sexualization of teenagers and the double standards regarding this are both very revolting.

That creeps me out, too. I mean, come on. I am a 70 year old woman and sometimes have to stop myself from telling a young person that they are adorable on social media in a granny-sense of appreciation. I am not thinking sexually. There was a young lady explaining a racist experience today on threads and she was just so sweet my heart went out to her and I sincerely wished she were a neighbor- she'd fit right in here with the new younger crowd moving in, but you just can't say it without coming off as a creeper.

When my kids got into high school, I remember a day when a line of young, fit, handsome boys walked through my living room on their way to my son's room. I was stunned at the thoughts I was having about all the eye candy, and I thought - OH! That's what makes it so hard for men, too. At that age they are young and fresh and beautiful and it's hard not to look. So I get it! It's just what you do with those thoughts that's most important. And yeah, no young person should be leered at by adults. Gross.

This double standard needs to be publicised a lot more.😤

They really do that? OMFG! Creepers!

Just like "I'm brutally honest". No, you're just a turd saying everything she likes and not accepting the consequences.

It's not a brag. It's stupid. But an effective way of waving a red flag early.

I have a habit of coming of as kind of blunt or harsh (I'm autistic) so If my friends ask me for advice I always ask what kind of advice; Do you want practical advice? logical solutions? supportive agreement? Emotional support? crazy/wild revenge plans to cheer you up? Otherwise I'd just say whatever popped into my head and likely come across as harsh or b****y.

Not having a filter is someting else than not being desent. But when used to just say anything, its not being without filter, its about not having any desency. I am autistic and everything comes in unfitered, thats simething else.

This is said by both sexes - they are just asshats with what they think is cool

I was a female uber driver. Every single man that got in my car always asked the same questions: "Do you ever get scared picking up random men in your car?" Answer: "No, because I know where to find the police and how to get there." "Do you keep a weapon in your car for self defense?" Answer: "You don't want to know the answer to that question." Uber states you cannot have a weapon in your car so even if I had one, I couldn't tell them. But the way I would Answer would cause silence in the car the entire ride.

"Not right away. What's your hurry?"

Just goes to show how afraid women are a lot of the time

😆

Upvote for the reply.

I never understood the urge to grab at random strangers. What kind of issues do you have that makes you think it's okay

Ugh... And if you'd been in your 20s and grabbed a 40yos breasts you'd have been out of there on your a*s (rightly so).

THIS!!!!! Keep your freaking hands to yourself please!!! And then getting mad or trying to shame you about it when you tell them firmly 'no".

BLECH. Bobby always knew how to get out of these situations. All you have to do is yell "I don't know you! THAT'S MY PURSE!" I'll never fathom someone putting their hands on strangers and acquaintances... I barely like the appropriately timed hugging of close friends and relatives...

Reminds me of my sister. She loves metal music and used to go to loads of gigs, then try to meet the bands afterwards. She came home from a gig one night and proudly showed off a picture she'd taken of a lead singer (can't remember the band) the picture showed her hand, going through a fence gripping this poor guys shirt and clearly pulling him right up to the fence, he looked terrified. There were loads of other arms trying to grab him too. She showed everyone that picture like it was the greatest thing ever. I was the first person she showed and she freaked out when I pointed out how terrified he was, according to her he was 'pretending' to be scared, and was actually laughing and joking with them. There's no way it was a joke, there was real terror and panic on his face; everyone pointed this out to her but she just completely refused to see it. Even now 15+ yrs later she still doesn't think she was wrong! So infuriating.

If you want a man to deal with you well when you're at your worst, you should also be there for your man at his worst. Don't be walking away from him, sneering, when he starts crying, like some women do.

That saying sucks - if you have a full blown psycho episode, I don't see why I should deal with it.

Don;t be an a*****e cuz girls are emotional and sensitive and if you can't deal with the bad times you can't have the good times.

Translation: "I'm uncontrollable and you had better be able to deal with it". Nope.
