I just got a call from a number I haven't saved. I'm normally against answering calls from people I don't know but I thought to answer it after seeing a missed call from the number hours earlier.
The person called me back and told me that his mother gave him my number and that his dad and mine worked together while his mother knows mine. He told me his name and said that his mother told him to give me a call. I was so put off by the whole thing that I forgot to ask him where his mother got my number from.
Side note: I also hate when people give out your number without asking you. I don't like random people or people I know and don't like having my number.
Returning to the story: He had nothing to say other than our parents know each other and he was told to call me. He kept saying that "he knows it's awkward and all but he was told to call". I didn't say much and he then ended the call by saying maybe he'd call another time. I just laughed and cut the call and promptly blocked him. I Googled him and all his social media profiles popped up. This guy is hideous and with the years of experience working and studying that he states that he has, he could be up to 10 years+ older than me. I know, for a fact, that his mother gave him my number with the hope that something could happen. How do I know this? Because over the years, including recently, I've had different women that are my mother's friends or acquaintances talk about how they'd like their sons to meet, date and marry me in the future. One of my mother's friends said that she prayed and God told her that her (equally gross-looking, overweight) son was supposed to marry me. My parents tried to talk me into it and I quickly put an end to it. He's now engaged to someone he met on Instagram and I hear that she treats him like crap. I'm certain he's not ended things with her because she's probably the prettiest woman he's been ever able to get. How she finds him attractive is beyond me.
Another one of my mother's friends suggested to my mother that I meet her nephew. My mother asked her a couple of questions about her nephew like his name, age, his job/career and other things about how he lives his life and her friend stopped replying and has since moved on from talking about him when she calls my mother to chat. We found the guy on social media and he looks like a criminal.
Firstly, please be very wary of anyone trying to set you up with some guy. As we know, the majority of men are very much LV and a lot of people, women included, want good, quality women to take on their good-for-nothing male friends/relatives. They want a "good thing" for their friend/relative, with you being that "good thing". They don't consider or care how this clown will negatively impact your life.
Secondly, has this happened to anyone? How did you deal with it? Have you found it equally annoying and insulting?
Women who try to push their (secretly scrotey) friends/relative onto unsuspecting women, annoys me to no end! A former friend (emphasis on "former") tried to do the same thing. She knows the guys I find attractive and was pushing me to meet an equally overweight, creepy-looking guy. She kept
saying he was nice and looking for a girlfriend. And that's supposed to be my problem how?! I don't see people fighting men to give women they don't like a chance. We all know how people will hype up loser men and tell them that they deserve much more than they do yet women are bullied into giving men we don't like, trust or find attractive a chance.
It clearly bothers a lot of women to meet women like me that are happily single and loving it. They seem to have this insane need to inflict LV men onto us. I also deeply dislike women who know a man is no good and want quality women to meet them. It boils my blood.
I'd love to hear what you all think!
Recently I was out with a group of ladies I've just met and one of them said she had a guy she wanted to set me up with. She said she thought of me as soon as she found out he was single. That got me interested because she knows what my life is like, I thought maybe he's someone similar.
Haha, nope. She shows me a picture of an unremarkable, chubby guy with a small child. She proudly announces that he's a single dad. She knows I'm childfree... She also knows that I'm very physically active. I asked why she thought of me for this guy when I don't want kids and this guy looks like he takes no exercise. She had no real answer other than basically, you're both single.
I said I wasn't interested and the other ladies jumped in to convince me to give him a chance. They didn't even know this guy! I said I had no interest in dating anyone sedentary, and that I can look at this man and tell he's sedentary.
Well that really upset them. One of the women said something horrendously ridiculous: "Well what if he's usually active and he's just depressed at the moment so he gained some weight?" My response was an emphatic, "I don't want a fat depressed man!"
That pretty much killed the conversation and made things awkward... So yeah, pickmes loooove to try to unload lvm's onto us!
It happened 4 times, First time in high school some hood trash got introduced to me, Second time It was by a former friend I no longer speak to, she's ultimate pickme and put a webcam on without my consent and showed her male friend what I look like while I was in the room.
And another time where a dude wanted to introduce me to his cousin. Nope I don't do that, If you don't have balls to approach me then you probably don't have the balls to provide.
My own pickme mother is displaying this annoying behavior, " Oh look that man is looking at you" You should give these people a chance while they look washed up, out of shape and not in my caliber, It's one of the reasons why I don't want to go anywhere with my mother because she crosses my boundaries a lot. A simple demand like " Don't answer questions strangers ask about me" And that's why to avoid annoyance I go out by myself. Because even people that I thought were my friends are trying to set me up with silly men.
A good friend of mine tried to match me with a friend of her husband. She had little to.no description or selling points for him. It sounded so damn off. So I politely declined her saying I can never be what he is looking for.
She tried to convince me and I maintained my stand.
One year later she told me that she deeply regretted trying to.match me with him because he is living a very miserable life and always has been. He shows no commitment towards improvment and it wouldq have ruined my life if I would have accepted.
Well, I'm glad I didn't accept. And I'm also glad that she realised later.
Ew! This used to happen to me a lot: one creepy dude I knew from church even got his dad to look up my work email address for him (we both worked for the government at different agencies). I ended up reporting his dad to HR, since our email directory is not supposed to be accessible to the public. Don’t know if they ever did anything.
His mother must be desperate to marry him off. Honestly, I would hate if my parents did this to me.
A lot of these matchmaking girlies need to butt out and let their single friends live their lives. And what irritates me the most is that some of these girls barely even know the guys they're trying to set women up with lol. Like girl you're putting a friendship on the line for Tim in accounting?
I had it happening several times, One of the worst was when I was at a former friends house I no longer talk to turned the webcam on at my direction without asking first and her scrote pal saw me and he wants to date me. I hate it the most when pickme mother mention that a guy is staring at me and I should glance back. This is one of the reasons why I don't want to go anywhere with my mother. I find this behavior annoying.
