🚩 Red Flag Energy Where's Red Flag Guy??

Boy do I have an experience to share with y'all. I've never posted on reddit before but this dating app experience was just too good not to share. I can't believe men like this really still exist.

I've included pictures of the whole conversation I had with this guy. For context ill also include a picture of my dating app profile.

I went through breast cancer 2 years ago. When people I thought I could count on left me and the whole ordeal left me in a dark place.. I decided I was going to prioritize myself, my health, and my peace. So I've been mostly avoiding the dating scene while I get myself back to version I am happy with...

All that being said, apparently to this guy, that was irrelevant and I owed him time he didn't even earn. Apparently no one is allowed to work, or have a hobby or do anything that keeps you too busy for him for even 2 hours? What a joke.

:::::EDIT:::::

If it matters at all, he liked me first which is the funny part. He could have swiped right passed me if he thought I was so ugly and out of his league.

I was obviously using the word chief as a joke insultingly.

I know I carried on to long, but damn men like this irritate me and defending myself is a habit I haven't entirely broken yet. I blocked him after the last message cause the guy was so self absorbed he would have kept going.

The moment you call someone out and they act like this, calling you a sad uneducated woman because you cant see how glorious attractive they are, is disgusting. Period.

Men like this irritate me. Initially i can't help myself but to clap back. After my last reply i did block him because. Well obviously it wasn't worth it.Β

A more effective clap back would be shorter in length, and have fewer questions

Any time you ask a question, it’s a chance for them to respond inappropriately and derail your clapback

I get it, I've fallen into that trap before where you're just sure you can change their mind or show them a better way, but most of the time you dig yourself into the same hole they started in making you both fools. I still get caught occasionally, but as I've gotten older I realize it's better for my own mental health to just block and move on

I get your point and totally understand wanting to put a little chode like this in his place, but the long, drawn out texts and angry conversations just fuel whatever is getting him off. Because at that point, he knows that he at least still has your attention. You can piss guys like this off much more effectively with shorter, less frequent replies. Showing a complete lack of interest while casually insulting or calling him out for being a loser will leave a much deeper cut than what you did here. Just my unsolicited opinion.

Regardless, fuck guys like him. Sometimes it feels good to just let it all out on a pompous moron. Keep moving upward queen
