"Man Was At Least 30. I Left So Fast": 71 Men Being Super Creepy And Hitting On Women

Being hit on by a stranger can be quite flattering, but only if it’s in the right setting. If someone is sprinting on the treadmill at the gym, they definitely don’t want random men approaching to ask for their number. And if a woman is walking home late at night in the dark, it can be extremely unsettling if a stranger tries to strike up a conversation. 
But it seems like some men actually want to creep women out, and unfortunately, many of them have done so successfully. Women on Threads and Reddit have been recalling ways that they’ve been hit on that made their skin crawl, so we’ve gathered their worst stories below. Good luck reading through these tales without losing faith in society, and be sure to upvote the lines and moves that you can’t believe men actually tried.

I've been followed and cornered so many times, especially leaving work super late after bartending.
I've also been followed and cornered several times at the dumpster in my apartment complex, in ratty pajamas looking like hell. I don't take out the trash anymore. Age doesn't matter. Clothes don't matter. Nothing matters. These people are predators

My bra was showing because I was wearing a backless dress. He pulled on my bra at a club. As I turned around to slap him he grabbed my hand before I could, and said "god I love women who fight back. Do you want a drink?". Chat, I emphatically did not want a drink. I kneed him in the balls and walked away.

A guy was going on and on about how pretty I was and asked me what high school I went to. I told him I was 27 and he was no longer interested. He was visibly 40+. DISGUSTING

A man asked me if I was 18 yet. When I said yes, he came to my house that night to ask my mom if he could date me. I was still in high school. My mother cursed him out and said get off her property. He screamed back, "This was a courtesy! She can date me if she wants!" I absolutely did not want to! He was in his 30s.

When I was 15 a 42yo and his mother(!) cornered me and tried to pressure me into going home with them.
When I was 19 a guy said he wanted to break into my house and hide under my bed. Then got big mad when he couldn’t have my number and address.

When I was 12, a boy I didn’t know wrote to my dad and asked to be for me to be betrothed to him. Not sure if I even used that word correctly because…”what?” My dad roared as he read it to me, the promises the boy made to keep me away from sin while producing more of god’s soldiers (again, what?!). He sent a school picture with the letter, looking just like the incels of today.
My dad loved the man I married but I can still hear him roaring with laughter and teasing me about my future husband.

I was standing behind a guy in a line who tapped the lady in front of him on the shoulder and said "Wheelchair huh, that sucks. But on the plus side I can roll you anywhere I want and you can't really do anything about it."
As it turns out that line doesn't work

Once a maintenance man hung out in my basement long after the work was finished, his partner finished and left… I thought they BOTH left. He “hung back” inside my house to ask me in a date. Oh, another one was what time two police officers pulled me over while I was walking my dog he told me he trained K9s so we exchange numbers, then he pressured me for feet pics so I reported him.

Guy was flirting with me at work, I was still young (like 16), didn't really know how to say no when he asked for my number, so I gave it to him. Was busy with school and work, so wasn't really answering when he was calling me. Said something to my mom because I wanted him to stop. I was out with friends one weekend like a week after I gave him my number, get home and my mom tells me he won't bug me any more. She had seen a car hanging outside the house for 2 hrs, went out to see who it was... It was that guy. I had never given him my address, so he must have followed me home at some point. My mom ripped him a new one, realized he was over 21 (I didn't know that when he was flirting) and threatened to call the cops on him since I was a minor. Never heard from him again...and he definitely knew I was still in HS...he judt didn't care until a parent got involved

Maintenance man was in our townhouse fixing something. When he left he said, “oh yeah, I went through your underwear drawer” with a creepy look on his face. After that, he asked me out. I was 15. He was maintenance MAN.

I was 20 & driving home from my boyfriend's house @3am . A cop passed me then turned around & pulled me over. He didn't have a partner & the streets were empty. He came up to my car & said "oh I thought you were somebody else". He seemed relaxed so I didn't think much of it. Then he started talking & started asking me about dating him. He started getting pushy so I got scared. So I asked him if he knew someone I knew that was also a cop (fictional person). He eased up & finally let me go.

_e.bae_:
I hear so many of the stories about police officers. the worst story I’ve ever heard from a woman was that for one reason or the other the police were called, idk why and the cop told her he would not arrest her if she let him watch her pee on the ground, she did it and he flashed the flashlight on her genitals to watch her. I’m scared of them tbh

The Warrant Officer that showed up at my house and tried my door while I was in the shower after following me home from my job. Then showed up at my job again 2 weeks later and asked for me to be his waitress when I wasn’t clocked in. 2 police jurisdictions and he was banned from the restaurant by his command.

Stopped me while I was walking in a car just to say I'm cute and ask for my number. I don't know who needs to hear this but IT'S NOT CUTE, IT'S CREEPY. Women absolutely do not need strangers to follow them around in cars.

Oh, do I have a story for you. I worked at a Wendy's for about 4 years, starting when I was 17. There was this guy who would come in, he was clearly a little older (like in his mid 20s), and whenever he'd get to my register would look at me so intensely. He would always pay in cash, and would grab my hand when I'd give him his change back - while making eye contact. Super creepy. Fast forward a few years. I was in my early 20s, swiping on the dating apps when I matched with a guy who looked familiar. We got to chatting. Then he mentions when I worked at Wendy's... I thought, "how'd he know that?" 🤔 Then it hit me. IT WAS THE SAME CREEPY DUDE. HE REMEMBERED ME FROM WHEN I WORKED AT WENDY'S LIKE 6 YEARS PRIOR.
I never blocked a man so fast. 😮‍💨

A coworker hid a young woman's phone, then offered his up to call it. And then had her number. She was 1/3 his age

I once had a guy ask if he could cut a piece of my hair off and carry it around with him forever…. Another guy told me I looked so delicious he wishes he could sink his teeth into me. He then proceeded to take his dentures out and started chopping his gums 🤢

I checked into my 3 week hotel stay for work. I chatted with the guy at the front desk to get his favorite restaurant & lounge recommendations. The next evening, around midnight, a DIFFERENT male front desk attendant who I’d never met nor spoken to; I’d merely walked past on my way to the elevator called the phone in my room to ask me out on a date. How did he even know who I am or what room I’m in?!? Those guys can make a key to any room. It was bloody TERRIFYING!!!

When I was 14, I was at a Halloween party that a friend of my parents had. His son was in highschool and had some friends there as well. One of the friends kept asking me for my number and asking if I wanted to go on a date. I was a very shy kid who bloomed early. The son of the host decked him and yelled "she's 14!" The guy was asked to leave. To be fair to the guy though, I didn't look 14 and I had been too shy to say anything about it. I'm glad someone noticed how uncomfortable I was.

I was working the customer service counter and the MARRIED STEPFATHER of my teenage coworker came over and tried to strike up a convo with me, and then said "you're so hot" before walking away 🙃 I was like 19, 20 and he was easily in his 40s.
