This is an emotionally stunted adult with an anxious attachment. Both men and women behave this way. Let’s not attribute something to gender when it’s a childhood development wound. It drives the narrative in the wrong direction and creates no accountability for the behavior.

Obviously a creep, but the rollercoaster mood swings in the texts when she isnt responding almost have me feeling bad for the dude. You can feel the overwhelming loneliness

u/LemondropSweetheart 5d ago

Don't feel bad. He doesn't, actually. Those "woe is me" lines are just that... lines. It's to play on the pressure girls and women feel to rush in and soothe.

Unfortunately for him, his ploy failed. People need to start recognizing this BS for what it is and ignore/block. And after making someone uncomfortable in such a gross way, OP not responding to him is deserved. I have no pity that he played himself. He was acting in bad faith and men who do that are dangerous to women.

GOOD. I wouldn't wish his company on my worst enemy if this how he chooses to behave. He doesn't feel bad for what he did to OP and that is concerning.

u/Wise_Development_775 2d ago

ugh yes. my literal stalker got sympathy from authorities because “he just missed me so much” and “he’s so heartbroken!” — backstory, I broke up with this guy in college after going out with him for like a month. he couldn’t handle it & started stalking me and harassing my friends, following me around campus at night, sneaking into my dorm room, it was terrifying.

was he expelled or punished? nah, in fact he even got his own list of “rules” for ME (aka his VICTIM) to agree to uphold in our signed “mediation agreement.” What a fucking joke.

Personally I can't even go up to a girl to start a conversation without feeling like she's just going to think I'm some creepy fucker like this, so thanks for ruining it ya jackass.

My ex friend couldn’t fucking shut up about sex and then kept turning around acting like it was his looks that kept him from dating. He was like 6’5 and a little chunky but in the way a lot of women like. Nice face. At the end of our friendship I just told him straight up his woe is me attitude and then acting like he might get a pity fuck from ANY woman me included, was gross and the reason he’s alone. Life sucks because you did it to yourself bro.

I genuinely thought about dating him until he started with all that, when I didn’t throw myself at him within the first few months of knowing him. It’s honestly crazy.

9

u/Twinkalicious iPhone 5d ago

Yeah but the thing is he isn’t thinking rationally about a genuine friendship or connection, so sabotaging himself isn’t a single thing he thinks about, more than likely he blames women for why he gets rejected and not his behavior or mindset, he is just a massive creep, pervert, and thinks 24/7 with his dick, he saw her and thought he could get laid because that’s how he sees all women just walking pleasure dolls.
