Don't understand why this makes OP "like Hitler". The only way this is a problem for a guy is if he is a douchebag.
"Hi (name), I enjoyed talking to you last night. Would you like to go out for dinner sometime?"
"You texted the wrong number, this is your mom."
The horror!
You open the chat and see what's already there and realise the screw-up
I'd delete said chat, just to be sure he screw up.
But that actually is an asshole move then. Because a lot of emotional attachment and memories can be in a chat.
Sure, but if you make someone uncomfortable enough to do that, you clearly deserve a lesson worth remembering.
On another hand, if you don't backup your SMS, you'll eventually loose them anyway.
I have not opened my SMS app in years.
The moment he opens the text message app to her name it’ll show all his conversations his mom.
"Son, I thought you'd never ask. Dinner sounds lovely. We'll have some chicken, maybe some sex. Let's just see where it goes."
Dorothy Mantooth was a SAINT!
Proceeds to send dick pic anyway
*continues to send
Y'all are weird.
My opening move is always pictures of my gooch with no message like a man of true refinement.
L take. You honestly expect someone to speak to a potential date in the same tone as to their own mother, and that there should be no risk of sending something that would be inappropriate or something that would otherwise be awkward if sent to the wrong person (especially to their mother)?
If your first text to someone is inappropriate that explains why she gave the fake number.
And why the plan would work
I'm not talking about dick pics, and I'm not saying inappropriate generally. Just that you don't want to text your mom about it.
What is your perfectly acceptable first text to a woman that would be horrible if sent to your mother by mistake?
You do sound super cringe right now, so an example might help clarify what I think you're trying to say.
There is a huge space for conversation that is both very appropriate and not creepy for a potential person of interest which would make you embarrassed if your mother read it. Especially depending on your mother. Some people have mothers who would critique the writing, others have mothers who might tell them to find Jesus. There are many many many valid reasons to send something different to a woman you wanted to date vs your mother without just jumping straight to dick pics.
And on the flip side, this is super passive aggressive douchebag behavior from the woman. I'm aware that some women perceive danger any time they look at any man and can conceptually understand things like "I didn't feel comfortable not giving him some number in case he kills me" ... that's clearly not the case here. If I were afraid of a man, I would not attempt to do something that will only piss that man off. This is actively antagonizing someone you don't like, not the behavior of someone who is scared.
That having been said I don't actually get wtf is going on this meme and why Hitler is involved so maybe I'm missing something.
Women don't get to the point of giving fake numbers (Or changing contact info in your phone) unless they have already declined / tried to get away and this guy isn't taking 'no' for an answer.
I mean the rest of that paragraph conveys my opinion on that subject pretty well and this does nothing to counter that opinion.
There are reasons to not want to give her number other than fear for her life. For example: "this guy strikes me as a douchebag that will send dick pics."
How is that any different from antagonizing someone because you don't like them? I guess you could call it antagonizing someone because you think you won't like them? Or because you think they might do something to make you not like them?
I never said not liking them was unjustified, just that the specific switch described isn't easily justifiable.
I didn't say the switch was justified, I just don't understand how it makes her "worse than Hitler.'
I literally said I don't know why Hitler is involved. It seems a little bizarre.
Regarding me sounding cringe, well, to each their own I guess.
As for the rest of what you said, yes, I agree with that, and that is indeed what I was thinking of. People have different mothers, and different relationships with their mothers.
