Guy Made A Fake Tinder Profile To Prove That Girls Never Think Hot Dudes Are Creepy

While average looking guys like me are quick to get riled up by stuff like this how is it different to how guys would behave? If an unattractive girl messaged (maybe overweight, maybe just not pretty) you would likely ignore as well.

The only difference I think there is seems to be females generally have a much higher standard in mind. The height thing instantly is one of those criteria that can end a guys chances, and I'm sure it's been shown girls pretty much ignore anyone under 6 foot or in the high 5's, which is pretty harsh, especially when the woman in question is like 5'2! A lot of guys would be happy with a much more average looking female than the reverse, us guys just have lower standards! However I don't think there's anything too weird here. Plenty of women just want sex, just the same as guys, so someone highly attractive to them offering it is all they need to go ahead.
I'm kind of a snob about a woman's height I guess. But I'm tall enough where too short presents some logistical issues. Can still be fun though, just less options.
 
There are two basic rules to being able to avoid your behavior being sexual harassment:

1. Be attractive
2. Don't be unattractive
 
I agree with most in this thread. Duh these are the results you would expect. I do wish women would just say " An ugly guy messsaged me" instead of saying creepy tho. Just be real with these guys don't coddle them An make them believe if they approached her differently it would have changed things 🤷🏿*♂️.

alright I'm just gonna say it dude's not even that hot
what, you don't think it's probable that not a single woman reacted poorly to being told to sit on fake Kevin Federline's face?

I don't know why this is surprising or news?

Hell even being semi attractive and confident basically means you can be pretty creepy be very successful at it. Source? My creepy/alcoholic years.

The same can be seen in various youtube "pranks" testing how far guys will accept a beautiful woman saying crazy things if they think it's going to lead to sex, stuff they would literally sprint away from if she was obese and hideous.
 
It's a reaction against guys thinking that creepiness or harassment is only tied to their (lack of) attractiveness. And not what they're saying/doing, the context in which they're saying/doing it, etc.

OK, I agree with thinking it's not ONLY tied to their attractiveness, but then you have to acknowledge that sometimes, no matter how rare you think it is, how attractive a guy is or at least how attractive the girl finds him, in and of itself, alone can change the context of a statement even if they're saying the exact same thing in the exact same way in the exact same situation another guy said.

Hell there's someone here trying to say workplace harassment isn't harassment if you're good looking.

That's why I said I somewhat agree. I definitely think context matters in the workplace. As a personal anecdote I remember working in an office that for whatever reason had a shitload of 20 year old women employees working in these wide open spaces, and the men employees being in shock with some of the flirtatious things I would say in the open, and them commenting if they said that they would've had to go to HR and being cited for sexual harassment. I think what they failed to see was me being selective in opportunities to naturally say it rather than forcing it, and how I was saying it with sense of jest and innocence, that I assume the women could understand and not feel threatened, and comfortable enough to flirt back knowing I wasn't trying to get with them. I don't know, it's hard for me to explain that I guess comes with experience. However I can't discount how they perceived my "overall look", meaning how attractive they found me, the way I dressed, and spoke and presented myself didn't play a significant part in how they received me.

I'm not gonna lie, reading these threads does make me reflect on it and become more self conscious in the future, despite me never having any trouble in the past about it.

Sad thing is I powerlift regularly too lol. And off the top of my head 2 of my gay friends have complimented me to say I'm cute. Otherwise I haven't had much luck even hearing that from a woman. But yeah I pretty much feel like Charlie Brown and ending of the peanuts movie hit me right in the soul since I swear I'm in a similar predicament lol.

Powerlifting doesn't mean anything. You can end up looking very stocky which often times can make you look too big in your clothes. There's a lot of things you can do from how you groom yourself (hairstyle, facial hair), to accessories (necklace, watch, earrings, cologne), to your own fashion sense and style.

You should ask 'how short?' lol. I'm 164cm (~5'4"), so in the realm of not just short but VERY short. I've learned to live with its implications though, I know things like online dating and clubs/bars do not work in my favour so when I'm not in a crippling depression caused partially by that fact I try other things (just meeting people the 'normal' way, meetUp, etc.)

Yeah, you're best bet is joining a lot of social groups that share your interests and naturally meeting somebody you like.
 
If you are attractive or famous you can get away with all sorts of sexual harassment. But outright asking for sex on a dating app is neither creepy nor harassment, so this experiment does not prove the point the creator was trying to make at all.

Fucking LOL

The Call Me Maybe music video has over 930 million views on YouTube. How do these girls not recognize the guy??
I have no idea who this guy is or what that video is.

There are two basic rules to being able to avoid your behavior being sexual harassment:

1. Be attractive
2. Don't be unattractive
No. This is wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself for perpetuating this lie.

Again this is a dating/hookup app. Of course an attractive person will find more success even with poor "tactics" than an unattractive one. This has nothing to do with harassment.

If you are attractive or famous you can get away with all sorts of sexual harassment.
Ehh -_- "Get away with" because it's not taken seriously when reported, more like.

Agreed with this.

I want to wear your skin while I fuck your flayed body.

What!?

Coffee?

Yes pls!
Totally equivalent to "Let's have sex".... sure

Most people would prefer not to be told that a dude's jerking off to their pictures right off the bat. Even on a dating app that's sexual harassment.
 
Bots are getting more creative on tinder. Now they changed their age, and they'll tell you what area they live in near where you live. They legit converse with you until the whole "can you cam watch me do I know you're real deal?"

good god. lol.

That's the only thing I can contribute because. Morrigan, you're a stronger woman than I. To (some of) the rest of you I'm on the Zoloft to keep me from killing y'all. I say some of because, you know... I don't want to paint with a broad fucking brush.

People tend to give you the benefit of the doubt if you're rich or attractive as they have a positive preconceived notion of who you are. If you are neither of those, that won't be the case.

it's reading threads like this when I am so happy to be gay...

.- among men, noone has to chase anyone. There's no cultural thing like in the straight world that dictates that women can't make the first move and that they have to be won over, with men having to try their best to get one.

.- Height fetishim isn't a thing. Being tall doesn't make you more popular, you are just one of the bunch, in fact it's likely men they like won't be into tall men so they'll experience rejection,

.- everyone wants to fuck (or isn't opposed to it happening on a first date) and we don't pretend like we don't

...who I am would be perfectly enough to have a easier life with girls, as it often really comes down to those first 2 minutes. But how much of yourself can you reveal in 2 minutes?

Be interesting in those two minutes and you'll be granted more time. Be wack, and well, you get what's been happening to you.

Eta- rejection is an inevitability. Just gotta work around it.

Bro, as someone who is bi, I'm fucking glad I don't have to deal with the gay dating scene since I'm romantically attracted to women. There's a whole 'nother level of bullshit you have to put up with. But yeah, getting sex is eaaasy.

The gay dating scene is worse we have had multiple threads on it.
 
Maybe it's been mentioned but the screencaps show a date almost three years ago. Did this shocking exposé take that long to write?
 
yeah reading about the gay community makes it sound like I would be fucking hopeless.

Shit we had someone kill themselves in the Mental Health thread who was gay (I believe) and had problems finding someone.

Hot people get away with everything. One of my friends is really hot and he can just punch women in the face and they're ok with it.

This one time he punched a woman square in the face knocking her down, then asked her if she wanted to go for a quick fuck in some public toilet and she obviously agreed. Let's not pretend if she got punched by a fedora neckbeard, she'd be calling him a creep and everything.

Like so unfair like.
