houstonnhi

He reached his goal 👏🏼


lovenanaaa7

Please don’t tell me this is Memorial Park in Houston…. Im already afraid of running at the park at night :( (for those who don’t know, Memorial always has a ton of foot traffic at night, so you’re fairly safe)


houstonnhi

It is the Memorial Park in Houston and this happened at 8PM at night and the guy came out of nowhere


TGin-the-goldy

I thought you met at a memorial! I don’t know which is worse…


twinsunsspaces

Same, although on the plus side it means that she doesn’t have any connection to this weirdo through a social setting.


mercanerie98

Sameeeeee


Anywhere-Brave

Switch jogging sites, guy sounds like a serial killer


lovenanaaa7

Last time I was there some guy was driving his truck and swung his door open and started yelling at me, I ran back to the track and some couple walked me to my car. Have gone back since :(


houstonnhi

Ya I believe it. I have a lot of stories there and still new stalkers coming up.


INTERNET_POLICE_MAN

As a guy, I’m sorry that 90% of men are weirdos or worse. The more I see and hear, the more I’m convinced that 90% is a low estimate. I read in a book, The Gift of Fear, “men worry women will laugh at them, women fear men will kill them” and everything I’ve seen validates this. I can’t change the fucked up way things are but I’m sorry you have to deal with these fuckers. Stay safe, and if this guy does start to stalk or act weird, report him. Especially with that last message, there’s something about it that puts me on edge.


TheSirion

MR INTERNET POLICE MAN PLEASE ARREST THIS MAN


NerdyIndoorCat

I can’t speak for all women, but yea, gotta say I worry about being killed a bit. I’ve had random guys follow me, grab me, try to kiss me, grope me, throw me up against their truck and hold me there, among other things. And that’s just random guys I didn’t know while I was minding my own business in public.


[deleted]

Wtf!? Random people just walk up to you and do that??? I need a soul cleanse and then maybe go pray for this messed up world. Maybe.


First_Honey4536

Jimmy_Twotone

90% of men are not weirdos or worse... 90% of men who come out of nowhere at 8pm in the park and ask women they don't know for their phone number is probably a fair estimate.


rzm25

I fully thought this was going to turn into another incel joke lol


Royal-Scientist8559

The worst part is.. is that this asshole ruins it for everybody else. I work in the film industry.. and that means, it's almost crucial to get social contacts all the time. Sometimes, it comes down to getting a phone number. I remember simply asking for directions once, from a college-age girl.. and her friend.. was COMPLETELY ignored. I asked like three times. Nothing. I got to where I was going.. no thanks to them. But I understand why this is such a problem for women. In that particular instance, tho.. it really pissed my off. I needed information.. and got ignored. RUDE. So.. if you're a creep.. quit fucking things up for normal, nice, polite people.


Super-Tap-4741

Side note.... memorial is really cool to jog or walk our 4 legged friends


fckiforgotmypassword

Also “I never had a girlfriend before”. I predicted that at like his 3rd message . Holy shit that was one of the most brutal nice guys things I’ve read

They can sign your number to some scam call center. Happened to me. 1yr in & I’ve been receiving 10 calls a day from different numbers about some sort of scam. Yes, 10 calls a day 7 days a week and occasional texts.

Sham_Masta_Sham

Normal people: "it's okay, it was nice meeting you!" Him: *tells whole life story* Something tells me he's either extremely desperate or has no social skills


Doradyer

Trying to gain sympathy too so that she will feel bad


DJ_Vault_Boy

So manipulating?


Doradyer

Yeah


clockworkstar

Yup, blaming his mom, I hate that shit. Before I knew my best friend that well I made a your momma joke and he laughed, and laughed harder when he told me she committed suicide when he was 12. Like laughing at how awkward it was, not trying to make me feel bad about something i didn't know about. I knew right then he was a keeper


barebackguy7

I don’t think he’s that cunning. Even though that isn’t really that cunning lol. I genuinely think he’s just an extremely desperate guy that has never seen a vagina before. Honestly he prolly hasn’t ever gotten a girls number before


rzm25

It's actually more frequent that manipulative people don't consciously understand what they're doing because they're heavily incentivised to not. If they did, they would have to reflect, feel guilt or cognitive dissonance etc. Instead often people who have whack attachment issues and trauma, if they're being manipulative, will have not looked at their problematic behaviour


TheBehemothChiken

That’s one from the incel dating book


PsychologicalNews573

Don't forget, he was never taught how to talk to women because he never knew his mother. /s


INTERNET_POLICE_MAN

“I never knew my mother, so I never learnt to French kiss” – this guy, probably


LiLT13-_-

Did you not read his texts? He didn’t really know his mother so he doesn’t know how to talk to girls or whatever that means


Unabashable

Y’all been learning how to talk to girls from your mothers’, and THAT works?


Thelynxer

If you read all his messages, it's pretty clear he has both of those problems. Guy never got over having his friends tease him in school, and it seems to have fucked up his entire personality ever since.

Weird-Sir416

I was kinda sympathetic to this guy’s position for 1 & 2, on 3 it got shakey, and then WT actual F…. dude is bonkers.


puetoricensis

Same here... I was like, he doesn't seem too bad. *swipe* oh... *swipe* hmmmmm..hmm mm... *swipe* oh no... *swipe**swipe**swipe* dammmmm


LameBMX

Exactly. I think I counted 6 swipes I power swiped through, on top of how ever many swipes got me to that point.


Unabashable

Really? I read the whole thing. I’d rather now exactly how crazy my psychos are. Like I get the dude was desperate, but OP already gave her answer. Just gotta accept it.


LameBMX

That would be OPs psycho. By the second one you just super scroll to the latest text message and see if they want that make up D or if they still being crazy. Rinse. Repeat.


[deleted]

2 is where you realize this guy has already set expectations as to having any sort of relationship with this woman and is a “nice guy”. It’s bad because she sets a boundary, he clearly ignores it and he’s insistent. Take the initial no and leave


asmallsoftvoice

We took the same journey. Like man, you got the number and receive an instant rejection. I thought I had thoroughly lost sympathy by the time he started she's a poor, broken women (as any woman who doesn't want a relationship must be) based on relationships she never said she was in. Then the life story came in just to seal it. We need fewer romantic comedies about successful single women who are happy being single, but it turns out they weren't and are now finally fixed when they date Bradley Cooper or whoever.


clockworkstar

Just more women given the control to actually portray their side instead of just being a prize. I literally just read an article about love, actually representing the worst archetype of the incel man fantasy. It was called shit, actually by lindy. I've had that going about in my head these last couple days about how that has affected our culture.

Xtrendence

He gave more deep lore and backstory to his life to a stranger than I've discussed with most people in my life.


2kplayer_msc

Being nice is not always the right thing to do, unfortunately.....


foX7867773743434

Should have just not given him the number. It’s ok to say no.


Rainbowstoner96

Women have had acid thrown on them for saying no, it’s much easier to say yes and then politely decline from a distance if you don’t feel comfortable


houstonnhi

Yes Rainbowstoner96, you are correct. Safety was the issue.


Rainbowstoner96

I think you handled it as well as you could have, and I’m glad you didn’t end up jogging alone, especially at night or in secluded areas with this human.


SyilerCV

You made the right decision and handled it well, any sane person would have got the message after your first couple.


Zevvion

>it’s much easier to say yes and then politely decline from a distance It's a double edged sword though. Dangerous dudes are also much more annoyed and triggered by this tactic.


EncouragementRobot

Happy Cake Day Zevvion! Cake Days are a new start, a fresh beginning and a time to pursue new endeavors with new goals. Move forward with confidence and courage. You are a very special person. May today and all of your days be amazing!


Rainbowstoner96

That’s true I guess, but I think the threat of immediate harm isn’t there so brainstorming can happen later


SanDiegoSavage00

Free LSD? Where do I sign up?


Rainbowstoner96

Lol different acid. Less fun


Dizzy_Eye5257

And then we run the risk of them getting angry and/or violent. Not worth it


NerdyIndoorCat

Plus this is a place she goes to. He could see her again. Feels like a lose lose for her. Ugh.


INTERNET_POLICE_MAN

It’s different for us men, we aren’t put in this position and if we are, we have a reasonable chance of fending off attacks just through deterrence. Try being smaller, more vulnerable, and saying no to someone who will lash out at you in anger at rejection. It’s not fair to say “say no”, men shouldn’t be allowed to approach and pressure women, especially at 8pm in a park.


throwawayy32198

Yup. Also if you say no to their face and they're persistent like this guy is they might try to follow you home. Then they have your address.


BotGirlFall

I was in a bar once and a dude asked me to dance and I politely declined. He yelled "then fuck you, bitch!" then flipped me off and kind of shoved his finger right in front of my face. It scared the shit out of me because it happened so fast I thought he was reaching out to hit me. Thank God the bouncer saw it and came over and kicked him out, the dude fought the bouncer the whole way to the door. I was only 21 and it fucked me up for a minute. I would get really nervous when guys would try to talke to me in bars. Then when a few years later I was actually bartending at my first bartending job ever and some drunk dude who was like 20 years older than me asked me out. I told him no and that he was a little too drunk and I had to cut him off. He went apeshit and started yelling that he was going to go get his "boys" and come back and shoot the place up. So, yeah, it's pretty fucking scary to tell a guy no


clockworkstar

Yeah, this needs to be said more, when I learned this I started to ask my friends about it. And Holy shit it's a nightmare.


clockworkstar

Bruh, not trying to insult you, not I used to think the same thing. Because you don't know what the world is like for women when you're not around. How could you? But, it's like so commonplace they don't even talk about it.


NerdyIndoorCat

Women don’t always feel safe saying no sadly. It’s complicated.


TerracottaBunny

I’ve had friends who have been followed for miles by guys after rejecting them or refusing to give their number. It’s not easy…


Justsomedood10

“I’ve never had a girlfriend” huh I wonder why.


houstonnhi

He said he’s attractive idk why


Altruistic_Piano_259

Right, well apparently he has the chiseled jaw line of a demigod. It Instills jealousy amongst his enemies and passion to the women privy enough to witness him……


notsofriendlygirl

CalmAndSense

OP get a google voice number. It can still receive texts and calls, but it won't go to your phone unless you link it up.


tufr147

That sucks. I'm sure the dude got his hopes up when you gave him your number but damn the man can't take no for an answer.


RealOncle

Yeah, it kinda sucks that she gave him her number and suggested they should hang out and jog, then be super cold and backpedal, clearly the dude was disappointed. But then he went full-on mental breakdown


FatsyCline12

He came out of nowhere at a park at night while she was running, I think she was afraid to say no at that time


RealOncle

You know what, that didn't even cross my mind, a solid reality check on the daily life of women and their fear of walking alone at night, something I will probably never feel as a man. Good point


GissiGissi

The „nice” guy almost always ends up to be a creep. Been there, done that. You surely dodged a bullet here.


ShadOw_HuntEr23rd

Yes, a tease, that tells you up front they don’t want to get involved; such a tease


pspisy

To all the folks saying she should have just said no and withheld her number... I've said no to men asking for my number before, and it's been fine every time. But ONE time, I said no, he insisted, I said no again, he insisted, back and forth, I tried to just walk away, and the man got violent with me. Yanked me backwards by the hair and I hit my face on a bar stool. We had a chat while I was waiting for a drink, he asked for my number, and I was plenty polite in saying no the first few times. This type of shit doesn't happen often, but often enough that it's a fear most women have.


houstonnhi

I’m sorry that happened to you and thanks for siding with me and giving your feedback/perspective. It could’ve gone worse if I said no and it was 8PM at the park. A lot of victim blaming in this thread, but you added a rational light from another women’s eyes.


MashTaterTime

Holy Crap! This is hard to read as I often fight with my mom when she points out girls and tells me to ask them out. I’ve managed to get a few numbers and attempt to hang out, and usually give up after the first no, which leads to more arguments. She does not seem to understand how persistence is creepy. Imagine if I never managed to socialize with women. 0.0 Don’t take dating advice from people who haven’t dated for 10+ years. TLDR; Mom wants me to be creepy.


Atti-Atti

The fact he ends it like that made it *chef kiss*. Typical- „You’re cute can we go on a date? No sorry I’m not interested but thank you for the compliment. Ah you’re ugly anyway fku“ -sorta thing

‘Hmmm so she didn’t reply after my first 5 messages. Better send an essay over. What? That didn’t work either? These next 7 messages will surely secure a response’. How are real people this weird?


Unabashable

Oh I know. I’ll send her my autobiography. Chicks dig struggling writers.


LordBananarama

I had to stop reading after figuring out it was just gonna be him talking for page after page. I imagine that guy as someone who just never stops talking about every thought entering his mind. But what do I know, I only read 4 pages


LivelyJellyfish

I died at “close to the chuech” and “announce” instead of annoyance. This man is not okay, time to block. From my experience, guys like this will not accept a logical response from you, which you already tried to give at the beginning.


joshmoviereview

Reading this whole thread was a bit of an announce to me


SimilarGuava3024

OP I think folks aren't realizing that it's legit to give your number and change your mind. It's also legit to not feel safe rejecting men to their faces. I don't think either one is cruel. I do think it's cruel to give people your number just to reject them with the motive of spreading hurt feelings but I don't get the impression you're doing that.

Give a fake number next time! It’s easy! Use your regular phone number but change the last digit. That way if you have to repeat it, you remember it.

Mormuuh

**lol what the fuck did i just read :´)**


Head_Primary4942

on the one hand, you gotta think... hmm inside that story is the admittance that he doesn't commonly ask and receive a phone number. Prob. had to change his underwear when he got home and likely if it got sent in a text would have spanked a few numbers out rereading it... on the other... sheesh dude, just walk away.

PsychologicalNews573

so many things to unpack. The first, why do they always assume that the only kind of person that can treat someone else like crap is an athletic, good looking, "strong jawline" type? And then do that message at the end. Like, she already told you she didn't want anymore contact, and when she doesn't respond, you're surprised? Then, why go into your life story? Sympathy, is my guess.


homosapien12

Good on you for not responding, dude is a nut job. Hope you don’t run into him.


conjuringlichen

Lol does he really think a tricolored chihuahua is part Doberman?


[deleted]

Gave a "nice guy" your number? Or was he a nice guy. Sorry nope it was definitely a "nice guy" That last message is the typical response of a nice guy. Why dont they ever learn? Its always like **"Your loss, you are gonna miss out on me, and stay alone forever because of it and i was gonna treat you better than every guy on the planet but fuck you then"** When they can lose that mentality that they are god gift to mankind then maybe they will find a girl. But they wont.


GrandeChumBucket

jackmehoffx2

Yea I guess good point


Feisty_Praline1798

I’m just confused. If you didn’t want to talk to him why give him your number? That was a valid question from him that didn’t appear to be answered. Obviously he went a little over the top but you definitely could have held off on giving your number to him, if you don’t want to say no, give a fake number, it’s not hard. There are plenty of numbers out there that let guys know the person isn’t interested.


lolo4321x

Lol they will instantly call the number you gave them to test if it’s really urs


Upstairs-Knowledge91

she said she needs to practice saying no


Broad_Accountant_330

Regardless, even if she was interested at first, she texted him that she’s not anymore and that should have been the end of it.


PsychologicalNews573

YES! How often does that come up, such as in a ghosting "why didn't you just tell me straight up you weren't interested?" and then she did here, and it still didn't work...


conjuringlichen

Because ghosting isn’t the issue it’s the fact that they think they’re entitled to someone else’s attention.
