Damn brah. If only he had a dad, I was half expecting him to say, "wait till my father hears about this ! "

He done maxed out on the Lockhart "fuckboy" scale.

You have to get people to admit there is a large problem with men harassing women online/in the world. The only proof of this is screenshots/emails/messages. Its almost a symptom of the problem. Being outed publicly, when you're terrorising people in private. Or women so intimidated that they don't feel comfortable having the discussion due to them being targeted for retaliation. Lets not forget, there is support for his mindset. A good % of people won't see anything wrong with the initial issue at hand. How do you prove someone is leaving you disgusting messages without showing the world they are leaving you disgusting messages.

But, this man and his issues aren't really the ground level of a healthy discussion about changing behavior. That behavior has multiple reasons why its accepted, and is a very large discussion. Mob-Shaming online isn't a suggestion to solve any of the worlds problems. I don't think anyone believes otherwise.

A step in the right direction is society noting there's a problem. And making it so that women can be open about their experiences without getting death threats.

I really agree with this. That #byefelipe instagram link posted earlier in this thread was really instructive, seeing just how prevalent this can be and imagining how shitty it must make those women feel despite the brave front they put up was eye opening.

I think every guy (and girl) has been in a situation where they've been shot down by someone they were really, really into, and in that moment of impotence self loathing and frustration easily boil over into anger. This and #byefelipe are obviously over the top reactions by underdeveloped people carrying a lot of frustration that they're not capable of processing. But seeing how pathetic and horrible these guys are definitely puts even more moderate reactions into perspective.

Is it really polite when you're blocking them at the same time? I don't know, I'm not a big social media guy (thank god).

At the end of the day, he was a complete stranger to her, so it's understandable. I mean they were Facebook friends, but what the hell does that mean.

God, talking about this stuff is almost as depressing as having to live in a world obsessed by it.

She probably blocked him because she expected what eventually happened may be what was going to happen.

- Thinks offering people jobs or "saving society via _____" gives him some sort of 'owed attention'. Weaponized attention/affection.

- Thinks he deserves to have someone talk to him or interact with him.

- Views women collectively instead of as a fellow person

- Thinks he's being "used" to rankup her "SJW level", even though the SJW label is an invention of the right wing to which he belongs

Self centered and controlling pricks always have the same components to them. And the cherry on top is they're always really controlling, have a self image of grandeur, and anyone that interrupts this delusion is always 'abusing' them or 'using' them, much like that Eron Gjoni that stalks his ex girlfriends.

I can understand on a basic level the humiliation and bad feelings when someone gets rejected, but I will never understand how almost all dudes of this sort go immediately to insulting, degrading, and demeaning the women they were so attracted to right before their rejection. It's fucking crazy. It has no logic to it. The closest explanation I can imagine is it's an extreme escalation of the "if I can't have her, no one can" thing by making her out to be garbage so no one else will take her? But even then, you'd think these dudes see that everyone sees through them at some point.

Agreed all around.

I think it all boils down to 1) insecurity - they hate women for rejecting them because it means there's something wrong with them - they're not good enough for her.

2) her rejection reminds him of the rejections he's had throughout his entire life - family, friends, other women. And suddenly she represents all of them and he lashes out.

3) possessiveness. When you spend enough time wanting someone that you feel like they already belong to you.

You're probably right. He more than likely wouldn't have backed off. But you should at least give people the chance. Turning someone down is already enough of a rebuke without the blocking. You want to be as nice as possible when you give someone the talk.

If you've made it clear you're not interested and they still carry on, by all means, block them and shame them if you have to.

And guys wonder why we have to be careful about how we reject them. There's no "right" way that guarantees that the guy won't flip his shit, unfortunately.

What does Vine have to do with this?
Click to expand...

His caliber of celebrity -- some dude that made a podcast before podcasts were a real thing -- is akin to a Vine star today. A celebrity without real power or influence, followed by some number of thousands of teenagers who grew (or will grow) into more complete humans than the celebrity himself. Vine stars today are lame, she's shading dude with the comparison.

Accept that you will take some Ls, be courteous and respectful in your approach, be clear, and learn from mistakes. You will become all powerful.

Yep! Confidence comes from knowing you have other options and plans so that no one moment can define or destroy you. This dude went down one road without any consideration that this wouldn't be the path for him.

I just remembered an unsettling experience I had when I was about 19, back when MySpace was the social networking platform of choice (ew).

I started talking to this random guy that added me (oops) and at first he seemed really cool, and I was actually interested in him. But after a few weeks he got really insistent about coming to visit me (he actually wanted to stay with me at my apartment for a weekend - even though we'd never met). Then during a conversation he mentioned that he fantasizes about cutting his partners (with knives, razor blades, etc). At this point I was beyond creeped out so I quickly stopped contact, but before deleting/blocking him on MySpace he managed to get a few last minute jabs in, including but not limited to "You're kind of fat anyway but I was willing to overlook that", "You do realize I'm going to be famous right? I thought you'd be the type of girl I could keep by my side but I guess not", and the expected "You're being a bitch." He was 23 years old at the time.

Same shit, different day.

Hey I grew up with HP and I'm not socially inept. I have a HP doormat, a dumbledore framed painting and some Ravenclaw clothing for winter, but that's it.

Also a ravenclaw flag and 4 house paintings, and a ravenclaw shield I keep around my workout area. But that's it.

Also some jelly beans, and the wand I bought during my visit there.

Ok NOW that's it.

Jesus Christ.

She turned him down in a sweet and polite manner...If someone send that to my GF, her first answer would be "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!? GET AWAY FROM ME!"

She is nice and all and the dude decides he wants to be a dick. Reason? He was nice to her, and she did not want to date him. Wow. "Nice Guys" are the worst.

Like someone else in this thread mentioned, he wasn't even rejected. Not really. She had/has a boyfriend, and wasn't even in the dating market. Rejected is when someone is single and they don't want to date you. She was taken, it was always a nonstarter
