It seems like there's no way to stop men as a group from sending unsolicited pics or requesting nudes from women they barely know, but many ladies are taking them on one by one. Anyone faced with online or IRL harassment has strategies for avoiding difficult situations with creepers. Some are merely for safety, but some are also for kicks. If men won't leave us alone, we should at least get to have some fun.
And boy did these women have fun! Talk about truly making the best out of an uncomfortable, unfortunate situation.
Here are some of the creative ways women have figured out how to deal with the weirdoes who won't take no for an answer — or who don't even bother asking first. (Editor's note: Feel free to try these at home and let us know how it works out! We all deal with some weirdos, but at least this way, you're armed with some quick and creative comebacks!)
Show him what you'd prefer:
Take him on a magical journey:
Try an actually terrifying threat:
Get their girlfriend involved:
Or their mom:
Or just give them an old fashioned roasting:
Let them think they're gonna get what they want:
How about literally sending them on a trip to Buckingham Palace?
Or create an optical illusion:
Hopefully this will have you a little more prepared the next time you come across someone who simply won't leave you alone. Of course, not everything needs to be so complicated — you can always try my favorite move of all: Say no, and then block. Extremely satisfying, I promise.
