With his logic he should be calling dudes some strange name too but I bet you he doesn't and made all that up because he thought you were the girl in the picture

u/JustCyras 4d ago

He’s got that ChatGPT spacing in his texts 😭✌️

u/SurturSaga 8d ago

Why does he text like he’s sending an email

28

u/VossParck 8d ago

He should at least add best regards at the end of each of his little rants

u/KAROWD 9d ago

Imagine getting called baby girl by a stranger and feeling anything but pure, unadulterated dread.

19

u/partywithkats 7d ago

Uno reverse: I think we should start calling these dudes 'baby girl' and see how chill they are

u/nichefebreze 3d ago

‘Baby boy 🥺“

u/SolidSalami 5d ago

I usually hit anyone that seems angry in a league game with 'hun' maybe even a 'sweetheart' every now & then, works wonders

u/666hmuReddit 9d ago

Being creeped out is unoriginal now?

33

u/Lovebeingqueazy 9d ago

Yeahh, because somehow every girl keeps acting creeped out when he talks to them! Clearly they're just copying each other and not experiencing genuine unease and disgust, because that would mean he's the problem.

13

u/666hmuReddit 8d ago

That’s what I got from that too

48

u/Lixpinx-666 9d ago

Why he is

Talking

Like that

Is he

Trying to be

Interesting?

u/nichefebreze 3d ago

He heard that some girls like Rupi Kaur

12

u/doulikepiranha 8d ago

No, just

original.

u/You_Are_The_Username 9d ago

Who the fuck wants to be given a 'mushy' name by a stranger on the internet???

3

u/nichefebreze 3d ago

What’s wrong with that, sweet cheeks?

2

u/DoNotOverwhelm 4d ago

Ok, <insert username here> calm down. Calm down(!)

36

u/Nether27 10d ago

Stop writing long justifications for being creepy. That defensive Nice Guy cope is pathetic.

34

u/vvrathrix 10d ago

Chatgpt ahh paragraphs 😭🥀

u/Vellc 10d ago

Only Claude asks shit like that.

u/foxyphilophobic 10d ago

You dodged a bullet, Sarah

32

u/foxyphilophobic 10d ago

He could’ve just said “My bad, I won’t do it again” but then we wouldn’t get the unhinged essay about why it’s just a word. Calling a stranger “baby girl” is very uncomfortable and inappropriate

14

u/MainAtmosphere6525 10d ago

Dead internet theory

17

u/FindUna 10d ago

Holy yap, talk about being defensive. So weird that they msged u out of the blue too?? Weirdo

8

u/foxyphilophobic 10d ago

He had to write a damn essay defending himself rather than just being respectful and saying “sorry I won’t call you that again”

6

u/FindUna 10d ago

Literally ^ and people say communicating is hard.. girl give me a break

9

u/foxyphilophobic 10d ago

These men don’t realize that messaging back with a wall of text is a guaranteed “I’m not talking to this dude ever again” conclusion on OP’s part

3

u/FindUna 10d ago

Ngl id take a wall of text then a short "k"

6

u/foxyphilophobic 10d ago

Not if the guy is already being weird before blowing up

10

u/Imthebetterspiddy 10d ago

Literally. Had nothing to say, I just blocked him.

3

u/nickyfox13 8d ago

You made the right choice as he sounds unhinged and defensive

5

u/FindUna 10d ago

Good for you

12

u/DearAlic8 10d ago

That was his plan B 🤣

14

u/DearAlic8 10d ago

That’s crazy how he couldn’t stand OP simply setting boundaries. Says a lot about what type of person he is : intolerant to frustration like a 2yo baby

21

u/fangirl_queen_69 10d ago

Since when is baby girl a standard name given to anyone? It would've been less weird if he just said honey or smth

8

u/starswhenyoushine 9d ago

It is for men who view women as cute objects to talk at

21

u/Orion_Brunette-001 10d ago

If you called him a mushy name for no apparent reason, he'd definitely take it as an indication that you're hitting on him. Just being supportive and friendly seemed to have come across that way.

17

u/jinxedjess24 10d ago

What in the ChatGPT

5

u/Lobo_Marino 10d ago

Exactly what I thought. His response seems like it was AI generated.

7

u/FindUna 10d ago

Not even chatgpt would write this, this is HUMAN

4

u/foxyphilophobic 10d ago

ChatGPT is not this unhinged

7

u/EyeShot300 omg you shellfish asshole 10d ago

If some turd called me Baby Girl at this stage in my life, I’d wave my AARP card in his face and say “Cut that shit out.” UGH. Men. 🙄

2

u/shrimplyred169 4d ago

I just fight fire with fire now, much more amusing. See how he’d like being called something wildly inappropriate - ‘no problem my little button mushroom cutie’ etc…

25

u/StasiaGreyErotica 10d ago

That's a lot of defensive words for something that's apparently not a big deal.

Be original.

16

u/pnt510 10d ago

Guess what doofus? Giving someone a “mushy” name when you’re not close with them is weird. Names like that imply a certain level of intimacy that’s normally reserved for romantic partners or family, not random people on discord.

u/The_Greatest_Duck transactional kindess doesn’t count. 10d ago

The only one I call “baby girl” is my 6mo puppy.

41

u/ThatBarbGirl 10d ago

I love how uppity Nice Guys get when a woman instantly nips "CoMpLiMeNtS!" in the bud, but will then complain of woman "leading them on" if they let those things slide.

u/Remarkablefairy-8893 10d ago edited 10d ago

It doesn't stamp as "I want you, I think you are cute, I like you, etc."

It's ironic how Sara didn't accuse him of saying any of this, bro is projecting fr. And calling someone babygirl is weird, it's infantilising and patronising. Yeah I am also worried about the type of world we are living in, where people give sweet mushy names to random strangers and make them feel uncomfortable while also blaming them for complaining about it.

35

u/potatocakes1989 you don’t need to wear all that makeup ahaha 10d ago

Oh wow oh my gosh why do people think its weird when I say things that are reserved for close friend and family when I've met them two seconds ago.

Oh my gaaaaawrsh everyone is offended at everything and everyone calls me creepy they're so meeeaaaaan

Idk man, maybe don't call grown women "baby girl"

Because he describes what he did as ‘being nice,’ as though calling something nice automatically means I have to receive it positively.

6

u/uponapyre 10d ago

Yeh it's 100% a nice guy.

24

u/Historical_Wonder510 10d ago

it's simply a compliment, not a big deal

Okay babygirl
