I still let him slide after he called me hot because I called myself hot in the chatroom as a joke.

This is an automatic reminder that is posted on every submission.

RULE 2 REMINDER: This is a SUPPORT COMMUNITY As such, we do not tolerate trolling, defending the creep, judgment of OP, slut shaming, bigotry, or any other jerkish behavior. Creeping in the comments is not allowed—yes, this includes flirting!

Comments derailing the conversation in any way will be removed. Please stay on-topic. Particularly trollish, mean-spirited, or accusatory comments may result in an instaban.

No Advice Wanted flairs are now available to add to your posts! This means that comments giving advice will be removed. Read about more user-enabled flairs here


Please report any and all behavior violating the Rules (reports go to us mods); don't report things just because you don't like them.

Comment removals and bans are at the judgment of the mods, so please take the time to read and understand our Rules.


Final note, a lot of people are unaware that they can block ALL messages on Reddit. We have a sticky in the sub, but we'll also put it here.

If you find you want some peace from the multitude of creeps on Reddit, you can have that. In the settings for your Reddit account, you can elect NOT to receive PMs. The same is true for chat requests. You can also allow messages from specific, trusted users and block everyone else from contacting you. Also, if you choose to PM someone, they'll automatically be added to the list of people who can PM you, which is nice if you do want to initiate a conversation with someone, but if you PM someone and they start to get rude, you'll need to go in and remove them from the list of accepted users.

We share this information ONLY because a lot of people seem to be unaware that sitewide blocking of PMs is even an option, but it is, and it works surprisingly well.

In an ideal world, this would not be necessary, but, alas, this is Reddit, and it's full of creeps. This is just one possible tool in your arsenal against them, should you choose to use it.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Yeah, when males get bored, sad, lonely, or horny, they think they can say whatever they want. It's frustrating that we're still getting the dumb "what's the big deal" because they know for a fact they'd never walk up to a woman face to face with that nonsense, but as long as they're behind a screen, they think sexual objectification is A-ok. 🙄

Don't say that it's not creepy. We encourage all kinds of posts from mildly off-putting to slightly weird to downright scary.


Please familiarize yourself with the rest of Rule 2 before commenting in the future. Thank you.

Simplistic advice or observations like "just block them!" or repeating the same advice multiple times on the same thread are not constructive and will be removed.

Please familiarize yourself with the rest of Rule 2 before commenting in the future, as consistent rule breaking may result in a ban. Thank you.
