Whether it’s a drunken text from an ex or a random message accidentally sent by a stranger… most of us have received our fair share of awkward or inappropriate texts at some point in our lives.
But every now and then, there are some men who type something so painfully cringe that it deserves to be screenshotted and made public.
This is exactly the kind of content people share on the subreddit r/cringepics, and we’ve rounded up some of the most ridiculous messages.
The posts range from guys sliding into women’s DMs with bizarre pickup lines, to men who proudly call themselves the “nice guy” right before saying something unbelievably rude.
For most people, texting isn’t exactly where they’re hoping to find love. So when random messages asking them out pop up out of nowhere, it can feel pretty uncomfortable.
A lot of women say unwanted attention from men makes them feel awkward, disrespected, or like they’re being treated as an object rather than a person.
In a survey, many women said that when they received unexpected cringe messages, they felt confused, uneasy, and sometimes even violated.
Experts say that in many ways, weird or inappropriate texts are kind of the modern version of street harassment.
They’re annoying, and even if you try to ignore them, they’re still pretty hard to completely avoid online.
