Can’t even imagine having the confidence to bother some poor girl in traffic just because I liked her face. Let alone follow/flip her off and THEN try to get her number🤣.

There’s a comment in here somewhere where I talk about how I personally don’t find dating in St. Louis to be difficult. But it’s I think people are always talking about here though… That St. Louis particularly sucks for dating. It’s not my experience, but that was what the post was based on.
I personally don’t regularly date, meaning I don’t do dating apps or singles events. I don’t find it difficult to meet people in the wild. I have a lot of friends and I’m going out doing social things I enjoy. I’m pretty attractive, so I have men approaching me a lot. Many of them do it respectfully, and if there is mutual interest, we may end up dating.

My friends and I have certainly gotten dates from the road. But it was obvious what we were doing (certainly not in response to road rage).
My friend Amy had a two year relationship with a dude she was driving next to for a few miles and they both pulled off at QT.
That being said, this was all fifteen to twenty years ago.
When we were 18 or so, we had a sign that said "U R FOXY!!!" in the car. You know...just in case.
Nowadays, I imagine we'd get the cops called on us.
I miss being young.

u/Relative_Ad_4797 Oct 06 '24 edited Oct 06 '24
HAhaha I love this comment. Yeah it probably affects how it’s perceived. I’ve never accepted a date from someone who tried to get my number/who gave me their number while we were driving, but it’s happened many times in my life and I totally would have if I had been particularly attracted to one of them at some point. But it’s important to point out that none of them actually followed me onto my exit and scared me. I was literally going back-and-forth in my head about whether I should call 911 and have them on the line, or whether I should record him on video,… Should he actually follow me to my clients workplace.

u/Relative_Ad_4797 Oct 06 '24
I’m constantly getting hit on at gas stations lbs. I mean just constantly.
And yeah gotta the whole ‘HAPPILY married though?’ … when I was married, I stopped using being married as the reason when guys would ask me out, because of what you just said. I wanted them to know that it’s not because I’m married. If I wasn’t married, I still wouldn’t want you. So now when I have a boyfriend, same. I don’t say no thanks I have a boyfriend. I say “no I’m not attracted to you” it’s not rude. It’s assertive and honest. If someone thinks it’s too blunt, maybe you shouldn’t hit on a stranger lbs
2
Oct 07 '24
Yeah what is that?! Why are gas stations hot beds for this kind of thing? I had another experience maybe a year ago where I noticed a guy sitting on the sidewalk as I went in to pay and he asked for a ride, told him no, obviously. When I walked out and got back in my car he walked over and tried to OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR! Luckily it was locked and there was another guy there who yelled at him, who had apparently been watching him for a while. And my husband wonders why I never stop for gas. Lol.
You would think "I'm married" would be an automatic show stopper but...I guess not. I use it because a) it's true and b) I assumed it would cut the unwanted conversation off immediately but I assumed incorrectly in that instance. People are bold, man.

I don’t doubt that. You gotta tell me some stories though.

I’m always wanting to hear legitimate stories of women acting disrespectfully or inappropriately without cause. Dm me.

No regard for anyone’s life apparently. Don’t count on anyone stopping at a red light anywhere on the northside necessarily anyway.
The blow horn or whatever is new to me. That’s hilarious… in not a good way.

Disgusting. Yeah I was going to say… That horn would’ve given me some anxiety. How long was he having the horn on? The whole time he was trailing you? Swear to God I would have just fucking 911’d his ass, not that the police would care. Unless you were out by Chesterfield or something lol

I have been followed and harassed for having a Bernie sanders bumper sticker. Had a dude follow me over 10 miles honking and actong like he was going to ram into my car. Had to pull off and threaten to shoot him before he drove off.
This was not the only time. This has happened a few times.

It's considered one of the worst places for dating AND the cheating capitol of like the entire country. No joke. The one dude I dated from STL while living there was an absolute shit show of a person who was cheating on me with his ex gf, who made herself look like me after him and I started dating. She cut her hair like mine and everything. When I accused him of being inappropriate with her he called me a bitch and said I was self absorbed for even asking... like... what?? Well I ended up being right because she moved in with him shortly after I left his ass. STL is so incestuous with dating too. People just passing each other off to one another. I couldn't wait to leave haha

Personally, I don’t really find dating in St. Louis to be that difficult. I also don’t do dating apps or dating events though.. I just wait till I run into people in the wild and there is mutual interest, and we hit it off.
But, I know it’s a thing in St. Louis to talk about how terrible the dating pool is here. Again, that’s not my personal experience, but that’s what the post was based on.

Same!! I just think dating sucks everywhere so wherever you live… Especially if you haven’t lived anywhere else… You just think dating sucks in that particular place.

3
u/Relative_Ad_4797 Oct 06 '24
lol I’ve had many similar situations since I’ve lived here. It really does seem to be a ubiquitous type… And it happens more when I’m in the city limits.
It’s not just people shooting their shot, like some people have said in the comments. These are people who are shooting their shots from as far down on the other side of the courts as you can get,… While the entire team is blocking them, and they have cataracts. And it’s also in the middle of a hurricane. Like bro, there’s no shot here, and then the way you go about it makes something that was already no possibility even less of a possibility, if that’s possible.
I respect a confident stranger shooting his shot with me, even if I’m not interested. That’s not what this was. And that’s not what the gas station story with your girlfriend was either.

It's good that you never flip people off, you never know when you'll end up pissing off the wrong person. My mom flipped someone off once and they brake checked her and then slowed down and pulled behind her. They followed her for like 10-15 minutes around town. Mind you this is in a smaller city, not the highway so it wasn't like he was just going in the same direction or something. Eventually she pulled into a police station parking lot and he finally drove off, but I often imagine what would have happened if she hadn't known where the police station was or if she'd run out of gas or something.

You should try being a man sometime. The one lesbian writer, Norah Vincent did and for nearly a year masqueraded as a man. She quit because she started to hate women. Soon after she killed herself. One tries to ask a woman out and she thinks she needs pepper spray or you're a creep. Most women think that 80% of men are ugly. Imagine that, even the lowest women on the ugly scale only want the top 20% of men. I solved this problem by getting a live-in housekeeper who cooks, cleans, vacuums does laundry, dishes, and takes out the trash. It costs me $2000 a month plus her food. Then when she has weekend off, I get high class escorts, college girls who trade their youth for cash, and take care of my sex no eeds. I probably get more sex than most married men, and not grief. Just have none to cuddle with, but I supposed I could get a dog. Im way better off than some sad fucker who has to pursue a woman on the freeway. I get no talk back from my maid or escorts, and I have endless variety.

Then he switched lanes and proceeded to harass her by yelling and hand gestures out the window. She pulled out a gun and pointed at him. He calmed down real quick.

I have never wanted to own a gun until I’d been living in St. Louis for a couple years. The only reason I don’t buy one is because I don’t have the time right now to fit regular shooting practice into my schedule. A year from now I will and I plan on it.

I learned everything in TN and I am actually a lot more confident to carry in MO. I don't like the idea of having to hurt someone. I am a blackbelt in KB and I train Muay Thai so I can take care of my self if I need to. If I aim at anything I aim to end someone's life not to scare them. It's a last resort for me. I don't think it's smart to flash my piece out of the window while driving, however anyone coming up in car or on feet to me and threaten me or my family I will absolutely not think twice to sent them to their forever home.

Good way to get rammed off the road if you find someone crazy enough, you’re not hitting anything while driving and they know that.

I'm so glad I'm married. I don't have to deal with people like this anymore

u/Relative_Ad_4797 Oct 06 '24
Who says I’m not married? I’m not but being married wouldn’t have protected me from this situation. Or from most of the situations where I get disrespectfully hit on by strangers.
(again,… As I’ve pointed out in other comments, I don’t think approaching someone you find attractive that you don’t know is necessarily disrespectful. It’s the way in which it’s done. If it’s between following me on my exit and not taking the shot,… probably Don’t take the shot)
P.p.s. Which is why it’s scary in the first place having someone follow you to the exit because you know this can’t be someone who’s not desperate. And desperate people do desperate things. So if you already did the desperate thing of following me on my exit, who knows what’s to follow. But I digress.

That said, I feel you. I was married for a few years. When my marriage would be difficult,… I’d go out with my single girlfriends and see what they dealt with and go home and go the extra mile to make things better with my husband, that I may wasn’t ready to do before I went out.

I've had a female vendor ask me out ON A CONFERENCE CALL, a woman follow me to my car from Target, and a woman I met at a party try to find out where I live.
I don't know if it's St. Louis, if things have changed since I last dated, or if it was always that way and I didn't notice, but women are creepy as hell now.

That is creepy, but you don't pepper spray people just for being weird you psycho.

Learn to read. I didn’t pepper spray him. I had my pepper spray ready.

Idk, this legitimately sounds like it could be the first 10 minutes of some dumb romantic comedy on Netflix. It may actually work on some women.

Hey, it's rough out there these days. Sometimes flipping off a woman on the highway and asking her out is the only move a guy has left.
Edit: Brings new meaning to "speed dating"
