There's a girl on my facebook who, for all intents and purposes, is an intelligent, seemingly level headed woman who is successful in her professional and social lives. Mid 20s. Good looking. 1000+ fbook friends.

For the past few days, everytime she posts something, there's some like 50 year old dude who comments - the normal creep type shit.. "Lookin good hun", etc. Cringe.

Now, instead of deleting him like she should, she insists on replying to his comments with stuff like "Who are you?" or "Stop commenting on my stuff please", instead of just deleting him like any normal person would.

Why is this? And why is this such a common occurrence with women, at least in my observation.

Why doesn't she just delete him, or rather, why would she just accept some random old dude's friend request who she doesn't know in the first place?

This shit baffles me sometimes.
