While sometimes women go out to bars with the goal to meet a guy, that’s often not the case and the last thing they want to deal with is a persistent suitor who just won’t stop hitting on them no matter how much they resist. So, what do they do?
Well, women are sharing their tactics on Reddit, after someone posed the question “What are some effective ways to get a man to stop hitting on you?”
Responses include:
- “Sorry, I’m not interested, I’m a mother”, then showing (many!) pictures of my kids made miracles.”
- “Or...telling him about how your kids need a father figure and start interviewing him.”
- “Ask if he has heard the good news of our lord and savior.”
- “Being fat and over the age of 35 worked for me.”
- “Ask him to buy into your MLM scheme.”
- “Tell the story of how your last boyfriend broke up with you, and how it was crazy of him to freak out just because you stored some of his semen in your fridge “just in case”
- “Tell him you're looking for someone to father the 5 kids you want.”
- “Marry him.”
- “Offer to show your collection of boogers and toenails.”
- “Ask him if he could get you his beat friends phone number because he’s cute.”
- “Mention your spouse/partner, real or imaginary, repeatedly in conversations. This has usually worked for me in the past (I do have a real spouse).”
- “Bark at him!”
- “Look them in the eye levelly for 3 seconds, then just say "pass" with entitlement, disgust, and dismissiveness.”
