How to deal with creeps

whispywoods
It would help if the site had better blocking and privacy features. After all, some people simply can't understand common sense and a simple "no" and then start being, well...creeps. And on the other hand, there are people who are here just to troll. For what I remember the block option still has some faults, but I'm not sure. A privacy option for chat may be useful. Like "Anyone can talk to me" and other option may be for example "Only X month old accounts". It would help to avoid those creeps creating a new account everyday.

@cupcakerin Yes, I have the same thoughts. I feel like if they don't say anything directly and only say nice but creepy things it would be weird of me to tell them something rude when they're only being nice to me. Still subcounsciously I know I should draw the line before they think I'm nice to them because I like them. @Chocopyro I don't know if they think they can change me or they just don't read my profile at all because they are so desperate. They sometimes ask simple questions like "how old are you" or "where do you live" and information like that is in my profile. Maybe I'll ignore them for now and if it doesn't help I'll block them.

I feel like instead of no, it could be "your approach is really bad and you might not notice it, let me explain" but then again, maybe the only thing the guy is going to care about is being rejected. It's difficult when you get a guy that is overly enthusiastic trying to get in your pants based solely because you're both into anime and are bi/gay. How desperate people are when they see you replying "hi" as a sign of desire? You're bad if you say no. You're bad if you make them think they had a chance the whole time. They wasted their time on someone that had already rejected them. But all you did was being polite and having a seemingly friendly chat? That's not attraction...

We live in a society where guys are the ones expected to initate the relationship. some guys are just more brash and ackward then others so it can easily come of as creepy. But i would agree that just saying your not interested is better then leading someone one, Saves everyone time.

True true, but when it just seem like a friendly chat you can't immediately say you're not interested. You think it's a friendly chat but in their mind, they are in a bar and they bought you a drink, if that metaphor works. And also maybe it could lead to something if we get to know each other more, you don't know if there's chemistry between the two of you, love at first sight isn't a common occurrence.

I know the society expect guys to start relationship and it's ok but when sb messages me I assume they read my basic profile info (at least that's what I think should be done before messaging sb) and probably saw that I like females so my first thought is "ok, they know I'm not into guys so they probably just want to chat and be friends". So I'm nice and friendly chat with them and then they start this "you are so attractive" talk and I don't know what to say. I try gently remind them that I'm into girls but that doesn't work and they still say creepy things but are not rude so I feel like I don't have right to be rude because they're not rude. I know it doesn't make sense..

*hmmm* From my 'tiny' experience, sometimes is best to be Blunt/strightfoward about what you think. After it they keep 'talking' ... ignorem them. If they don't get the 'hint' that they don't get any response. Block. You're nice person, so you try to be nice, but you politley say NO, and they keep pushing, you have all right to NOT be nice ;) Don't be afraid to say what you think, they don't care that you say no ;) You should not care that they will get upset ;) Good luck :)

This reminds me of how one friend of mine has to put up with random creeps sending her nudes on Twitter. Some people are just disgusting... But yeah just block people like that.
