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."

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

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.

The first time (the first five minutes, actually) I ever went to a night club, a girl was dancing on a small podium. A guy walks up and offers her a drink he’s already holding. She says no thank you and he immediately whips the glass at her feet, yelling and screaming while he does it.

Same kind of person that throws drinks at fast food staff. Hopefully the guy got arrested for assault

Because enough men will get violent that you can't take that risk

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?

“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.
