In today's segment of "the perils of living while female," I present you a text conversation between a woman and a friend of a friend who went on an abusive rant after she politely rejected his advances.

To make things worse, the woman's "friend" who gave the psycho her number in the first place, ended up defending this a**hole. What a nightmare.

The convo began with a text to a woman from a guy she'd never met. As they always do, it started off innocently enough.

The woman turned him down politely, not that she owes him anything (she doesn't even know him).

"Sorry, I have a boyfriend," she wrote, adding "and I'm sorry but I don't even really know you." Note her multiple uses of the word "sorry," a protective mechanism every woman knows all too well. But despite her being firm in her no AND saying she has a boyfriend, he refused to accept her rejection of his advances, insisting that he's a "really good dude" (which every woman knows is a major red flag).

He then demanded she follow him on Instagram, which she also politely declined, seeing as 1) she doesn't know him, and 2) he's an aggressive jerk who doesn't respect her feelings or boundaries. Who needs that kind of energy on the timeline?!

Things escalated as he refused to accept her "no." He then had the nerve to call HER "rude" and then tried to guilt her into dating him because he's "suicidal."

He then, surprise surprise, called her the b-word—"bitchc"—and continued to berate her.

When she wisely ignored him, he continued to send her abusive texts.

When she finally asked him to stop texting her, he called her a "sh*t person" and blamed her for him "almost killing himself."

Then he, of course, followed up a few days later to find out if she's single.

All I have to say to that is: AHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHHGHG. Then things got somehow even worse for this woman. Because naturally, she reached out to her friend who gave this guy her number, to be like "umm dude WTF." And he DEFENDED HIS FRIEND.

Her "friend" also tried to guilt-trip her into giving the guy a chance, said she was “overreacting” and then told her she’s “not that f***ing special”.

Fortunately, she told this "friend" to delete her number, to never give it out to anyone again, and to "f*ck off."

Screenshots of the conversation were initially shared on Reddit, and then were shared on Twitter by a woman named Rebecca Rose, where they are going viral. "This is truly mind blowing (or maybe not)," she wrote, highlighting how, for women, abusive behavior like this is both shockingly upsetting and painfully common.

This is truly mind blowing (or maybe not). The first screen cap is an exchange with a guy who got her number from another guy. The second image is an exchange w the guy who gave out her number. WHOA pic.twitter.com/SejjybHbOa

She followed up with a thread, explaining why she wasn't "surprised" by the conversation.

I guess no I’m not surprised anymore by entitlement or the escalation of abuse in the face of her (extremely fair and polite!) rejection. But the shared mentality between two dudes who are friends like this...damn. They are ganging up IRL on us now

Turns out, the second text convo (with her ex-friend) came from the advice people gave her on Reddit.

For some background, she shared the first image on Reddit and the advice was to tell the dude who gave the first creep her number to stop handing out her phone number. The second image is a result of that exchange. Its really scary how close this guy got to her life

Rebecca Rose said she's "still reeling" from the first dude's aggressive response and that this guy's behavior will "haunt her nightmares." And, same.

I’m still reeling at how aggressively the first dude goes after her. “How are you supposed to get to know me?” Bitch, I’m not “supposed” to do shit especially not “get to know” you.

This is going to haunt my nightmares. Honestly, tell me what type of person engages with people in this manner? From a psychological/clinical perspective what the hell is going on here? This is the only way he knows how to get attention? pic.twitter.com/CfmSWpOTiJ

Damn, it's scary to be a woman. Stay safe out there. And don't be afraid to use that "block" function like your life depends on it. Because sometimes, it actually might.
