Thank you David! Thank you for finding this shit and sharing it with us. Sometimes it really just puts the smile on my face that I so desperately need after a hard day 🙂
Of the creepy internet come-ons I’ve gotten, this is my favorite (that was the only contact I’d ever had with him):
It also inspired me to change my gender to ‘kitten’ on my Facebook profile, since it’s obvious that horndogs don’t bother to check it before offering dick pics.

I’m guessing he is oh so very alpha.
I’m also guessing that he is very lonely.
That approach simply cannot work. It screams aggression. What woman wants to go on a first meeting, alone, with that kind of aggression?
I’m assuming alone, because he went on about the pleasure of his penis, or whatever.
Also, I bet he is a horrible lay.

The shotgun approach to dating: high scatter, low (likely no) penetration.
Why do so many men think that if they’re getting a soft no or even a polite but firm hard no that becoming more aggressive will get them laid?
This just happened to me today. I was standing at the bus stop and looking at my phone and this guy came up to me and gave me his area code. When I looked up all puzzled, he explained that his number starts with 952 and asked if I wanted the rest of the number. I said “no thanks” and went back to looking at my phone. He continued to hover right in front of me and asked me my name. I completely ignored him. He mumbled “sorry” and started to walk away. He clearly understood that I was not interested at this point. But did he leave it at that? No he did not. He came back over to me and asked if he could have my number. I told him that I don’t like to give it out and he finally left me alone after that.
Why do this? Obviously because accepting a no gracefully would be an acknowledgement that women have autonomy. We can’t have that, now can we? A no must not be accepted until you’ve either gotten yourself blocked, ruined her day or caused some sort of inconvenience, irritation or fear.
With all the tension in the other threads, I would actually kind of welcome a sad boner troll coming in here right now to defend creepers. Is that weird?
But after having read the rest of your comment (which I should’ve probably done before responding :p) I don’t think your story fits with what I said above.
I feel like I’m becoming a crazy conspiracy theorist with how repulsed I am with my age group and how most of these “men” seem to need to prove how ultra-macho they are. No, I refuse to worship Chuck Norris and John Cena, bacon sucks, I want a Prius, and I don’t care if I remain a virgin for the rest of my life… This whole New Sincerity/”Bro Culture” has got to go!
People need to have manners and realize that everyone is a human being too. It’s going to get to a point where people will mistake kindness for flirting. =(
It always goes back to they don’t want to hear a no, and if they refuse to hear, then they didn’t hear it, and it’s not there.
And, that thing where the woman is ignoring you? She’s playing hard to get, but she still wants you.
She ignoring you? She still wants you, bro.
She flat out said no? She’s a rude bitch, and yes, that means she wants you.
She is running away while you chase her? Dude, that means she really wants you bad! She wants you to chase her, bro.
Sometimes, we cannot win.

I always want to ask these people if this approach has *ever* worked for them.

There are an awful lot of movies, including a lot of kids movies, that teach men that when women say no clearly and repeatedly and are clearly angry, creeped out, and repulsed, that the guy should just keep trying because eventually she will fall madly in love with him.

@Arthur Meyer – “It’s going to get to a point where people will mistake kindness for flirting.”
But they already do. All the time. See, for example, this man who mistook female servers being nice and doing their jobs for flirting, stalked them and gave them unwanted gifts, and eventually died by suicide after he was banned from the restaurant. (TW for suicide and fat hatred):
Cole Yote,
I actually did that once. He just denied that he was trying to get laid. I didn’t believe it at the time. I was only about 16. Now I think it’s true. It isn’t really about getting laid. It’s making sure we know our place as sex objects and subhumans.
He’s so edgy he should talk Linkin Park.

*Mello Yello voice* Smooth. Very smooth.
Well, he’s actually doing it “right” — as many “approaches” as possible and someone is bound to bite. Right? Guys? *crickets*
He probably thought he was sooooooo alpha for writing that.

I’ve seen any number of clever responses to online creepsters, but honestly the sadface emoticon is all you need.

I think this is only about saving face. They know they won’t get laid.

What’s the matter with just being friends in a platonic relationship?! Why must everyone want to have sex with everything?!
Arthur, I know, right?
Friends are the bestest. I like friends. What’s wrong with friends?
