why do y’all keep pushing after i’ve said i’m not interested? why does it take me finally saying “no i have a bf” for u to back off instead of taking “no thx, i’m not interested” seriously?

i’m a woman but i’ve noticed that the type of guys that do this literally just don’t respect women. like i got catcalled in the subway and it took my guy friend pretending to be my bf for the catcaller to apologize to HIM. they’ll back off when you mention a bf because they respect the bf but not when you say no yourself.

Unfortunately I have no answer for this. A lot of dudes are just assholes :/

Not blaming you at all but certain forms of media make it seem like this is romantic when it’s clearly not. Look at the notebook, she was clearly not into bro but the moral of the story was that as long as he kept bugging her she’d change her mind

Unfortunately on social media especially TikTok there’re videos saying that men should keep going and not “give up so easily” if they truly like the woman. Sorry if you’ve had some bad experiences but I feel like most young guys know no means no, at least I hope so

They don’t respect him either, they’re just worried he might actually punch them in the face.

why apologize to him and not me? if they were worried about that they could just as easily walk away without saying sorry

Because they offended him when they disrespected you, and he’s the one that can physically beat the shit out of them
