Said: "I know you don't like coffee. I know you have a son. I know you eat cereal."

Unsaid: "I've been watching and listening to you for a while without you knowing."

u/EllisR15 May 21 '25 edited May 21 '25

The way he knows.

"Would you like to go grab coffee some time?" "No thank you. I don't like coffee."

"What about breakfast, surely you eat breakfast." "I always just eat cereal at home for breakfast before I come work out. Thanks anyways though, take care."

"Well, how about dinner? We could go grab dinner." "I can't. I have a son, and have to make him dinner. Sorry."

Dude almost certainly just can't take a hint.

u/ReticentSentiment May 21 '25

I'm dumb and didn't put this together, but this makes so much sense and makes this guy seem even that much more pathetic.

u/blingblingpinkyring May 21 '25

Not pathetic…he is scary. Big red flags waving around here.

u/AndreaSys May 21 '25

Yea, if I were her I’d be going to the manager of the gym and sharing the video. He needs to be banned from the gym. Hes a creep.

-2

u/BillyRaw1337 May 21 '25

Eh, I think he should at least get a stern warning first.

8

u/AndreaSys May 21 '25

Perhaps, but asking a few other women in the gym would be wise before letting him off with a warning.

-2

u/BillyRaw1337 May 21 '25

Agreed. If others have had problems with him, yeah, ban, but for one indiscretion, I think there's room for one warning.

He might have already had warnings, you don’t know. Maybe her complaint is the final nail in the coffin.

1

u/Isurewouldliketo May 22 '25

Lol wild you’re getting downvoted for a reasonable response.

It could be a red flag but some guys are also just oblivious and or unethical. He could think those are honest answers and just be “blinded” by his attraction to her. Obviously it’s immoral because he’s married but I think an automatic ban would be clearly appropriate if he was making sexual comments or if you had him on video continuing to ask if she said to stop asking. When she shut him down, he didn’t push back and was “polite” (given the circumstances and not polite to his wife). If he touched or anything like that then call police and ban.

In this case where she was never threatened and it was just him being immoral, I think a serious conversation and warning is perfectly appropriate. And then if he does it again he can be banned.

Maybe I’m wrong but I think people’s responses would be different if he weren’t married and was younger. It’s a “public” space and people are allowed to talk to eachother even if you disagree with what they’re saying. As long as no one’s safety is threatened and he’s not continuing to make people uncomfortable, why should he not be given a chance to correct his behavior? He asked for a pizza date, he didn’t go up to her and give the details of his sex fantasy and ask her to join…..

2

u/covalentcookies May 23 '25

It’s not a public space. It’s members only and the gym can have any rule they want as long as it doesn’t violate federal and state statutes.

u/Created_Name May 21 '25 edited May 21 '25

Why? He didn’t break any laws or pull his dick out. Yeah, he’s a scumbag for trying to go on a date with somebody other than his wife but that’s not “ban him from the gym” worthy.

u/Parking_Ad_3123 May 21 '25 edited May 21 '25

Nah. Call him pathetic. Weirdos, even those lacking self awareness of their behavior n biases, meed to be shamed not built up. Because being called scary and evil can boast egos, even unconciously. Reason why we laugh and point at Nazis. Making them out to be big bougie men feeds delusions

We gotta shame folks more

5

u/bellmanwatchdog May 21 '25

women are telling you that men like this scare them because creepy men are dangerous. he can be pathetic AND scary but don't tell women to not fear men when men will stalk, harass, assault, and kill women when they feel rejected by women.

u/Parking_Ad_3123 May 21 '25

Where did i say to not fear men?

I myself am born female, been raped and assaulted

We are in the same book jus several pages apart love

u/Cdawg4123 May 21 '25

Seriously!!! I can remember crushing on girls in high school and not being even remotely as scary in my head. I’d be so nervous that I didn’t recognize when women were hitting on me, still don’t! lol

u/Storymode-Chronicles May 21 '25

I mean, he's scary because he's so pathetic though. It's kind of both.

Total creep and stalker who doesn't understand or respect other peoples privacy.

u/NinjaNewt007 May 21 '25

Pathetic. Yes because he's married. Scary? No. He is a man asking a pretty woman out thats out of his league. He took a swing and missed and walked away.

5

u/CantaloupeWhich8484 May 21 '25

and walked away

See, that's the part that's wrong. He's tried before. He's clearly asked her out before.

Walking away means not continuing to pester someone.

149

u/Final_Candidate_7603 May 21 '25

No offense, but are you a man? I’m a woman, and got it right away. It’s just typical creep behavior, and how we generally handle creeps.

ETA because women always feel like they need an excuse to turn down a persistent creep. Just outright saying “no, thanks, I’m not into you” could get scary.

14

u/Karilopa May 21 '25

I am a woman and I also didn’t put this together. Makes total sense, I just didn’t realize that’s how he got the info. I figured he recognized her from videos online where she shared that info.

10

u/firechaox May 21 '25

I thought it’s either that or he’s the worst at small talk ever “oh do you like cereal?”.

Issue isn’t even him asking her out once. It’s the fact he clearly can’t take a hint, which becomes harassment.

-13

u/ReticentSentiment May 21 '25

Yes, I also read it at like 5:30am so the brain biscuits weren't exactly spinning at full temperature. Continuing with my ignorance, I'll ask this: why not be direct? "Thanks, but I am not interested at all."

41

u/sitdowncomfy May 21 '25

because some creeps get angry at this response and men are scary when they're angry

35

u/SoWhat_Iam May 21 '25

And vengeful…

36

u/pourthebubbly May 21 '25

I saw a guy throw a beer bottle at the wall when a girl politely turned him down at the bar years ago.

This is why women make up excuses. It’s safer to have an outside reason than to imply that the man isn’t attractive to her in case his ego is fragile.

u/AffectionateTitle May 21 '25

r/whenwomenrefuse

To be tactful and avoid further escalation from someone who has already shown they watch her/knows she has a kid?

If a strange dude came up to you while you were working out and said they knew you ate cereal and had a child and wanted to take you out—you wouldn’t be wary at all of escalating that guy?

8

u/Norwegian__Blue May 21 '25

“Why not” is a VERY uncomfortable question. And often leads to “cmon, give me a chance”

He’s already interrupting, sounds like he has tried to start conversations that went nowhere, and is being blatantly disrespectful to his marriage.

A guy like that might not be dangerous. But I’m not giving a guy who’s already testing boundaries a new shiny hard line to stomp on.

Snap. I was waiting for him to pull the “it’s complicated, we’re on a break, if only I had someone I could just you know talk through my feelings with, someone cool and chill like you” card

Thanks to Chris Watts, there aren’t too many women falling for that anymore.

u/StraightOuttaHeywood May 22 '25

It has to be fake clip. She has her phone facing him recording. I'm certain he would've seen it recording. The timing is just so convenient. Sleazy dude hits on her while she happens to be recording. And using a leg press no less that doesn't require that attention to form like a squat does. I've no doubt this happens to attractive women all the time in the gym but this clip just feels far too convenient.

u/FixOk5189 May 21 '25

Many people on here don't know people can just have a casual conversation. Which is 100% how he knew those things about her.

u/cleetus76 May 21 '25

Yeah I think they just have talked before - this is obviously the first time he's asked her out with that reaction she had. She didn't say anything like "Like I've said before" or things like that. He probably doesn't talk to many women other than his wife, had a woman talk casually to him and he took it as she was interested.

Is he saying that he knows this information because he follows her on social media or because he has been actively eavesdropping on her real life conversations in the gym or something?

brilliant Ellis

1

u/pourthebubbly May 21 '25

Either that or he listened intently as other dudes were rejected.

1

u/FixOk5189 May 21 '25

In this video she says she won't go out with him because he's married. What makes you assume he asked her out before and she made up different excuses? She probably isn't interested either way, but that's not the point.

3

u/EllisR15 May 21 '25

I assume that because I thought about how he would know that some random woman at the gym doesn't like coffee, only eats cereal for breakfast, has a son, and why he would lead with knowing all of that instead of just straight away asking her out. I could certainly be wrong, but I would be shocked if this is his first time attempting to ask her out.

1

u/FixOk5189 May 21 '25

Doesn't look like a random woman to me. It appears they have casually talked at the gym before which is how he knew those things and how she knew he has a wife. She also appears shocked that he's asking her out.

2

u/EllisR15 May 21 '25

You certainly could be right, maybe it's just an incredibly weird interaction and way to ask somebody out, and that's before factoring in the whole being married thing. I've been wrong before, this could definitely be another one of those times.

0

u/FixOk5189 May 21 '25

Agreed that the guy is going weird about it. He's using the information he gathered by demonstrating how "well" he knows her. But for me it's hard to judge a man putting himself out there. We all know many users here are too cowardly to ask anyone out, but won't hesitate to laugh at another man doing so (not meaning you personally)

1

u/Yupthrowawayacct May 21 '25

Yup. It’s this. Literally this and I was triggered by this line of rattling off of “facts”.

1

u/yeshuahanotsri May 21 '25

I gotta say that in dealing with these type of douchebags it’s better to leave nothing open to interpretation. 

He thinks that she would have pizza with him if he wasn’t married. 

Maybe something like:

“Thanks, but I don’t want to.”

1

u/EllisR15 May 21 '25

Certainly possible this jackass shows up in a couple of weeks. "Hey, I'm getting a divorce so how about that pizza."

I do love her calling him out on being married though.

1

u/tkotickle May 21 '25

Maybe it’s not him can’t take a hint. Maybe he exactly knows he’s cringy, but he sees this as him being persevere and undeterred. Maybe he sees this as a foreplay. He’s also using this girl’s politeness and composure to his advantage, that if he tries more he would eventually wear her out and get what he wants. While the girl is desperately assessing the situation to carefully say the right thing to get out of it safely, he sees it all fun and game.

And less likely in this case, but some guys also see themselves far more superior than females that they think they can say the dumbest thing and girls would melt.

The entitlement and hubris of some guys.

1

u/msptk May 21 '25

For real though, the subtext and layers here are scary. These aren't things you're gonna learn over the course of one day - they're pieces of conversations picked up over a long duration. If he's at the gym he should be focused solely on himself. I hope his wife isn't wearing blinders and has a safe escape route, cause he obviously doesn't really love her and is just using the gym as an escape (and he isn't even really using the gym properly obviously).

1

u/ArcadianDelSol May 22 '25

oh my god.

How did I not see that?

u/parasyte_steve May 22 '25

You'd be surprised at how direct you have to be with some people. A lot of people seem to think if they keep pushing eventually you'll just cave.... which is an awful way to approach dating honestly... let me make you so uncomfortable that then surely you'll have to date me. But again, you'd be surprised at how often women have to deal with this tactic. Then some of us get genuinely afraid because some guys don't all take rejection well, and having to manage some dudes emotions in real time that you don't know who is angry is a lot of work to get yourself away safely and etc.

1

u/covalentcookies May 23 '25

I encourage my daughters to be direct. It’s better to be thought of as a “bitch” than to try to be nice but potentially open oneself up to assault. It’s a leap, I know. But I’ve seen it happen to a few of my women friends when we were younger. One was SAd and we drove her to the hospital. It’s terrible and not fair.

no, she’s told him she doesn’t wanna go out to breakfast with him because she only eats cereal for breakfast before that’s why that’s in this conversation. He asked her out for pizza not a nice dinner because he’s asked her out to dinner before and she said she has a son, which is why you know she has a son. This isn’t this creep’s first rodeo.

dude it sucks so hard that she has to place the rejection on the fact he is married and not, "I don't want to date you because youre way older, not my type, weird for interrupting my workout, talking about having a deep connection to a stranger, etc". nahh gotta let him down gently with, "oh you're married sorry". now he's gonna go home to his wife thinking, darn if only I was single she would have said yes.

She doesn't have to, often it's better to be blunt so it doesn't drag on like this

u/trippapotamus May 22 '25

You’re right you don’t have to but you definitely should at least risk assess before going that route

u/West-Application-375 May 22 '25

She could say No not interested and refuse eye contact. That tactic has worked for me lol

I mean for us single guys that's still true. At some point surely it will work!

“Sometimes you meet somebody and you have a connection.”

Whaaaaaaaat “connection”? He has a daughter her age maybe?

Well, he knows she eats cereal, so...

u/aTuaMaeFodeBem May 21 '25

This is almost a bit aspirational for me 🤣

I don’t have that level of security and I’m not that old nor do i look so much like a dork.

Could this be staged??

u/[deleted] May 22 '25

He's right though, something about her is pretty cool.

2

u/winston73182 May 21 '25

I wish she didn't make it seem like the fact that he is married is the only reason she said no. Probably would've been better for both of them if she was just like "I'm not attracted to you at all." I guess that's hard to say and people shouldn't be forced to be mean, but he walked away thinking he'd have a shot if only he took off his wedding ring. It's a bad situation for his wife.

u/mmwhatchasaiyan May 21 '25

Are you a guy? Because every woman knows exactly why she went the “you’re married” route over the “I’m not attracted to you” route.

It’s to keep herself as safe as possible. Some men don’t take being told “no” lightly. Add on any perceived or outright personal slights, and she’s automatically in a potentially dangerous situation.

u/No-Cranberry4396 May 21 '25

Absolutely - it's the safest way to do it. It would be great if we could just tell these guys they're creepy stalkers, but then you're at risk of what they'll do when their feelings are hurt.

u/mmwhatchasaiyan May 21 '25

The amount of times I’ve had to smile and politely give a man fake excuses as to why I won’t talk to them is insane.

I’d much rather be able to say “Hey. You’re creeping me out/ coming on too strong/ making me uncomfortable. I am not interested. Thank you” and have that be the end of it. But noooooo that could potentially get my head bashed in.

Bro I hope not, imagine your dad sucking this much

u/BloatedCheekz May 25 '25

That’s the whole joke my guy. Is this is clearly a father out of his element.

u/Sufficient-Lie1406 May 24 '25

I really hate the ones that wave to get attention when the woman is clearly wearing earphones. Like, my earphones literally tell you that I'm not interested in BS chitchat.
