When I was 22, an irritating Frenchman who was attempting to hit on me apparently mistook me for 30. When I asked him why he thought I was 30, he said “because 22 year old girls are annoying”. I couldn’t tell if he was actively negging me or just incredibly stupid.

Thanks for letting me know, you're exactly like all the other guys!

Same with "I hate other people". Like, we all hate other people, but do you really have to verbalize that shit? It's red flags from a mile away if you have to verbalize something so common

When someone tells me that i simply say "What makes you think that?" with a smile :-)

Well, yeah, because there are only two types of women: porn and you, the flesh and blood woman before him.

It can also be a way to get in with women who think the same way. The general assumption is that "women hate each other," so by siding with the Not Like Other Girls girl, he's confirming (what he believes to be) HER attitude about women, boosting her pickmeism.

Usually when a guy implies that to me, it's the opposite of a compliment -- because I'm "not like other women," ie his conception of The Women You Fuck, he's not interested.

Edited for language.

God this one kills me. I have a close friend who wears recieving this compliment like a badge of honor and i just want to slap her.

I ran 😅

Especially when it's something I'm not great at. I'm a C-student, that's not "smart for a girl" unless you think most girls are D-students!

Holy crap, this is so true!

noavocadoshere · 2019-12-19T01:14:55+00:00

i gave OLD another chance awhile back, and one man said to me that he needed me to be more confident in myself (to which i replied that i am). this came about because he tried this routine with me and i told him while i know my worth, i do not see myself as above any other women on the app. i won't find a partner by putting down other women and being a pickme, no sir.

What’s so wrong with all other women ever that being so unlike them is a compliment??

I don’t understand the logic.

mina_fer · 2019-12-19T02:33:00+00:00

What do y’all do if he tells you you do remind him of someone

Crimson_Oblivion · 2019-12-19T06:02:58+00:00

So so so true.

Iiliit · 2019-12-19T08:50:14+00:00

I despise that but also just people in general who compliment by putting anyone else down period like nah. I will not be raised up while a bunch of other people are being put down.

lord-duke · 2019-12-18T23:27:48+00:00

I'm gonna have to push back on this a little bit. For example, let's say a guy's in a competitive major at uni and his number one priority is to excel in his studies to the exclusion of everything else (including romantic relationships, etc.) ... but he meets this amazing girl. In that context, I wouldn't take this comment as an insult.
