The challenges of online dating never seem to fade. Just last week, there was a bizarre encounter involving a guy who thought relentless harassment of a woman was an acceptable way to flirt. This week, a different viral incident emerged, and honestly, ladies, I feel for you having to navigate this nonsense.
Meet Sarah Brooks, a Marketing Executive for a lifestyle brand, who found herself on the receiving end of unwanted commentary after a seemingly flattering exchange with a man she met online. What began as a series of compliments quickly spiraled into a classic “backhanded compliment” scenario.
Sarah could have simply replied with “NO” and moved on, but then we would miss out on this remarkable interaction. Here’s a little advice for the clueless gents out there: if you’re about to say something that might upset someone to the point they never want to speak to you again, just don’t say it. Not every thought needs to be voiced.
“I’m only bringing this up because I want to inspire a change.” Ah yes, because who wouldn’t want unsolicited advice from someone who clearly lacks social skills? This guy could have a future as a self-help guru—if only there were a market for “Douchebag 101.” Who needs motivational speakers when you can get this kind of wisdom?
“Maybe I’m just a self-important jerk who believes my opinions should carry weight.” Well, at least he’s somewhat self-aware.
Really, what goes through the mind of someone like this? Does he genuinely think this is the right way to approach a woman? Step 1: Compliment her. Step 2: Try to tear down her self-esteem. Step 3: Act like you’re doing her a favor.
Fortunately, our fearless heroine wasn’t going to take this insult lying down. Her comeback was nothing short of legendary: a selfie with a giant burrito bowl from a popular fast-food chain. Talk about owning the moment!
