I Thought That Was Your Thumb
I mean people who send pictures like that to people probably have longer thumbs than d***s
“I Want To Show You A Good Time”
NGVC: "Not Interested In Me? But I'm A Nice Guy! Must Be Racism"
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.
BF Doordashed Me Food, Dasher Wanted To Text His # Thinking It Was Me LOL
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.
From A Guy Who I Briefly Dated For 3 Weeks Nearly A Year Ago
My Old Neighbor Who I Considered A Friend Sent Me This Last Week
We have barely talked since he moved out but we used to hang out in his apartment sometimes. Officially creeped out.
Aftermath Of Reporting Him To HR… He’s 20 Years Older Than Me Btw
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.

"My tubes tied themselves just reading that" is *chefs kiss*
Landlord Keeps Getting Texts Like This From A Tenant
My Ex Texted Me At Work Asking For *pics* Thinking I Was Someone Else, And Now I Pray For Whoever Alice Is
Guy Called Me This Morning Asking When I Wanted To Hook Up. I Told Him He Had The Wrong Number. I Got This Text Right After
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.
Men, Do Not Do This. Absolutely Insane

I take a shower daily or when swimming in a pool is probably not the right answer in his opinion I guess???

Well, gosh, if you’re going to put in *that* much effort…nope, still no.
Got This DM From A Guy Who Kept Dm-Ing Me
NGVC: “Fruit Of My Lions”
No, I don't think she "missed out on having a good life", I think she dodged a bullet
So Many Things To Unpack Here
“Be a good gril and respong!” Seriously, who advertises that they’re abusive and expects a positive reaction?
I Am Still Cringing
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.
the only submitting I'd be doing is submitting those screenshots to the police.
