A friend of mine recently told me she had a funny dating story to tell me — and at first it was funny until the guy started getting way too aggressive.
They met on OkCupid and agreed to meet on a Tuesday for dinner. He's 24; she's 28. They talked for hours and eventually bonded over their outlooks on foreign conflicts and politics. It went well and they kissed, she said, but he seemed a bit immature, so she wasn't sure if she wanted to see him again. After she told him she couldn't hang out one night, he turned into a borderline stalker.
Here's the full series of texts between them.
He was pretty pushy about it, a sign of what was to come.
He was "honset" too.
PLEASE, GIRL.
Dude, just stop.
Ughhhh.
"Is that a crime?" Harassment? Why, yes it is; I'm so glad you asked.
Dear God.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So she blocked him.
He's right! How dare she show disrespect to such a pleasant gentleman!
She asked him why he kept messaging her and that was his answer.
He's not the first guy to get so aggressive after being rejected by a woman and he certainly won't be the last. Just look at the Bye, Felipe Instagram account for more examples.
My friend is successful, intelligent, beautiful, and fun. It's no surprise he would fall for her, but she doesn't owe him anything. She should never be called an "emotionless monster" because she wasn't interested in him after one date. She should never be told to appreciate how he "resisted his desires to f*ck her." It's disgusting and it's infuriating.
Recent studies have shown why men tend to harass women while sitting behind their computer and phone screens. If they've lost at something — lost a video game or a girl for that matter — they try to reassert their dominance by being hostile.
In other words, guys who harass women online are literally losers.
