I do not understand where they get the audacity from but they are SHAMELESS in their score behavior. I get extremely offended when these stray fossils have the nerve to approach me on the street. Looking ugly and beat down as all hell. It's worse when they have the nerve to talk shit about women's bodies and their looks.
I was on a mental health forum from Facebook when this old asshole messaged me because I replied to a post of a woman I saw fairly often complaining about him and I called him a coward. We got to talking for a bit and made amends. I planned to get to know him (not romantically) because he was into the same stuff I was
Herbalism, making plant based products etc.
But over time he's gotten increasingly disgusting and audacious. I opened up about my childhood and mental illnesses (first mistake. Don't know wtf I was thinking here) and his first reply was "hmm, a girl with daddy issues".
Again, should've left here. But I was going through a hard time. I was in a depressive episode and I had/still don't have any friends right now due to my mental illness. So the alarm bells were going off, but I kept talking anyway because I was lonely. This dude kept wanting me to meet up with him and go on camping trips.
Why the fuck would I do that with a stranger?? Does he not watch true crime? Everyday he began pressuring me to call him so I can "get out of my shell" (I have severe social anxiety). He framed things as him helping me and being a "guiding male figure" that I need. But I didn't want that. I didn't want help, I just wanted someone to talk to.
He knew what I looked like and the fact that I'm 21 just did it for him. He kept saying that he's trading his help for my "feminine energy". He kept bragging about how many women he talks to. There were so many different times where I should've just left because he was fucking weird. Like when he sent me this long paragraph cussing someone out without explaining who it was aimed at. So I'm thinking he was cussing me out but then he explained it was for some woman he was talking to tinder because she didn't reply for a day. Really? Talk about entitlement.
Anyway, things continually got worse. He started off saying that I was too young for him so I was off limits to flirting with me, sending me kiss emojis. The final straw was when he told me "I wonder what your your pussy tastes like". Why are men such fucking degenerates? He was lurking on a mental health forum looking for women to talk to and KNOWING I was vulnerable. Eventually he got blocked because he was too creepy and controlling complaining about my generation and how we are stuck on our phones and technology. He would get upset that I don't text back right away while I'm gaming
Why do old men think women will like them? Especially young women who have nothing in common with them. He would send me videos about shows from his generation but it was fucking boring to me. He never understood my jokes, so these men can't tell me it's "age is just a number". No it's not. No one wants geriatric dick. Mind you he wasn't even one of the old guys who you could tell was at least good looking when he was younger. No he was ugly as fuck with this unkempt beard and pony tail. Every day he would bitch and moan about his ex who ghosted him. I'm honestly annoyed that I entertained his bs out of loneliness but I did block him.
It's like he thought he could control my healing journey. He kept saying he wanted me to go to concerts with him, go camping and all this shit. And I kept saying that whether I'm mentally ill or not, I'm still an introvert and I don't like crowds. But no, he insisted on trying to make me do everything he wanted. He tried putting dates on when I should meet him and that I consistently need to work on my mental issues. That's for me to work on with a therapist, not some weirdo from Facebook.
He offered to pay for shit and it was still just cringy. I can honestly see why some women become "gold diggers". Men, especially the old ones. They use money to lure women and then complain when that's all she wants. Sometimes I'm tempted to take as much as I can from old dudes and this block them. I want to givd them such a horrible experience that they don't want to think of trying to waste a young woman's time again.
I get so fucking mad when old men hit on me because it's almost like they're telling me I'm not attractive enough for men my age. I always have to question how they made it to that age without being married or having any kids. Makes me think they spent their youth wasting women's time and they're looking for a younger woman's time to waste. No thanks.
Stray fossils loool I snorted 🤣 but you're completely correct!
Sorry for my wall of texts but I need to continue my rant in the comments. Most of my blatantly creepy experience were because of old men. Following me in stores and blocking me from leaving the aisle with the cart so I'm forced to talk to them (and I'm upset that my mom thought this was funny she was there with me that time and I was only 16 when this happened).
When I used to pick up my little brother from his bus stop this old man began following me. He went to the same bus stop to pick up his grandkids when his wife wasnt there. Mind you, I love his wife. She's this feisty little lady but she was always sweet to me. Her husband was a fucking creep though. It started off with him touching my hair without permission. I brushed it off as old people lacking boundaries cause I know a few older women who have done the same thing..
But then he started doing creepy shit like asking me where I live, driving the same way me and my little brother walk to see where I wss going when this old man NEVER goes in my direction, he began crossing the street to my street to follow me to the bus stop, and the final straw was him touching my arm when no one was around.
Luckily I have two 6' brothers that have a lot of fight experience that will have no problem pummeling anyone who creeps on me. So the last time I saw this man, I turned around and ran to my brother. Before the old man could cross the street he saw my brother and before he could say anything to me, my brother cut him off and asked how he was doing.
After that, this man wouldn't even look at me. Which means he KNEW he was making me uncomfortable but didnt care. This why I fucking hate old men. They tend to cross boundaries the worst out of any age group in my experience.
Stray fossils HELP😹. Anyways i’m sorry for your horrible experience(s). I can totally relate as i’m sure (m)any young woman or woman in general can.
I’ve never had men MY age act out so uncomfortably. Not that they can’t & don’t but i’m used to f-boys. Older men who prey on young women & girl just make my skin crawl. 🤢
I could go on & on but it’s so draining. All the avoiding, the fake smile & chuckles, avoiding eye contact.
Just thinking about it, anticipating the interaction & reliving the memories.
It’s so mentally exhausting & effects your mental health being put in these situations continuously.
Thank you for sharing & i’m sorry about your horrible experience 🫶🏿
