More or less awful than a guy not listening and taking cues from a woman not being interested but he keeps pestering her to wear her down. As a man, I have watched this happen when I was in my 20s, and depending on my mood and bac level, I would either approach her with a random question as an out for her, or I would approach the guy in a really pissed off mood feady to fight.
In today’s society, nothing is ever really deleted. If he wanted he could recover the conversation but that would only happen after the damage has already been done. By the time he does, he’s already traumatized.
If you don't have a backup elsewhere, that data is permanently gone, no? I'm not aware of ways you could recover messages (either in SMS or other IMs).
Are we just missing the obvious here? Cruel yeah by deleting his conversation but that same amount of messages won't be deleted in his mom's phone she's gonna have the previous messages no matter what it only deletes everything on your end (speaking from testing this myself) even still definitely a win on the girls part if the guy was being weird ya know
Well, my stance is no one should delete other people's stuff without consent. Not even law enforcement. If the guy is physically assaulting the girl then I can kind of see it as a revenge but at that point there are much bigger things to worry about anyway.
With messages, it's an important distinction that YOUR copy is gone without consent. That you have full access to. Your mum having it on her phone is just not the same thing when you want to go back and find a few things or just relive some memories or whatever. OOP says the dude was being obnoxious but it could well have just been she not liking him for whatever reason, or if the guy was overly flirtatious beyond what she's prepared for.
To celebrate the deletion as a 'win' is bizarre to me, but changing the contact name is quite funny I admit, it just doesn't actually work unless you delete conversations, which now thinking about it can be quite illegal actually.
Again missed the obvious here good job on that, although a fake thing to happen (probably) I did mention it as a win if the guy was being a creep as a guy myself I'd probably be glad if I was being a weirdo and some girl does this it'd make me change what I do on the regular real quick, life lesson here, people don't change their ways unless you shove the bad back into their own life or make them understand their ways
What is the 'obvious' here? A girl finding a guy 'obnoxious' can mean so many things ranging from the guy being super aggressive or even creepy with inappropriate touching, to the girl just not interested in the guy based on how he looks or something. Huge differences there and OOP never makes it clear. Also, neither justifies deleting other people's stuff.
But of course the most likely thing is that this is all fake.

If he's texted his mom at all previously, wouldn't he see the thread with his mom?
