+1 for people all supporting the backhanded compliments. So many boys do this as a way of protecting their ego and projecting their feelings of rejection.
I am a conventionally attractive woman and I can not tell you how many times I have had the following conversation in a bar.
Man: “Hey baby, whats up?/Can I buy you a drink?/Can I get your number?/Want to come back to my place?”
Me: “No thank you/I’m here with someone/I have a drink/I’m not into one night stands”
Man: “Well whatever, you’re fat/you’re ugly/you’re nothing”
I USED to respond “I was fat/ugly/nothing when you first approached me” and this would lead to a whole lot of eye rolling, excuse making and general dickery from said boy. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
Best to respond to these losers in a swift, quick manner.
IGNORE.
Seriously, smirk at them, get up and WALK AWAY. If you feel really rude, add an “excuse me” before you walk away.
They will usually move onto some other target, especially if they’re drunk.
However, if they follow you or approach you later to apologise (and 9/10 they do because your stock suddenly rises when you don’t play their stupid games and they think they could have a second chance) say “thank you” and repeat. Walk away.
DO NOT GIVE THESE IDIOTS THE TIME OF DAY. DO NOT GIVE YOUR THOUGHTS TO THESE IDIOTS.
They are getting exactly what they want from you – projecting their rejection onto you and making you feel bad.
When this happens, remember, no second thoughts, up and away.
Yes, there definitely are MEN out there. Cut the boys as far away as possible.
