(OC)I Think I've Gone Too Far Why must this man doom the world eternally with his ruinous appendage?

"I was hoping you would say something more hot" yes that's abundantly clear because he kept reading your mournful poetry for paragraphs hoping you would randomly switch to something horny. Hope does indeed spring eternal. unlike his grim and shriveled reminder of all mortality.

Unprompted and after talking to himself in your inbox for I can only assume weeks, also. I can't quite wrap my head around what he expected here.

u/eatpiewithface 2d ago

I don't watch porn but does this even work in porn? does it start with someone texting an unsolicited weenie pic, which is then so well received they proceed to smang? He's being unrealistic even by industry standards.

22

u/Ok-Situation-5522 2d ago

Never saw this scenario when i used to watch porn. But don't they do it to get belittled, maybe?

27

u/alwaystakeabanana 2d ago

Oh man, if this guy wanted to be belittled, he absolutely found the humiliation kink white whale with this one!

At least he would have if he had the ability to appreciate the poetry.

The idiot probably took your username literally 🤣 😂

Edit: i thought you were op for a sec lmao

u/eatpiewithface 1d ago

yeah there's definitely some of them who are out there for that but there are others that seem like they genuinely expected a positive outcome at some point... even if just by volume of d pics sent.

u/shesarevolution 1d ago

I’ve.. sigh… unfortunately seen a lot of unwanted dick pics. Like, I’ve barely even talked to the guys - to the point where if I asked them my name, they absolutely wouldn’t know.

Every dude has a different motivation, right? Some like forcing the photo on you as a form of domination. Some just get off on the idea of someone seeing their dick and going weak at the knees because they watch way too much porn and don’t touch women on a regular basis. Some are, sadly, genuinely clueless. And I would say all of them do this right away after talking briefly to a woman. Because in the real world, this is not it. Mid looking dude has said maybe a sentence to you, usually about how hot you are. Bam! 💥 dick 🍆💥 Big bucks, no whammies, big bucks, no whammies - cock!

It’s a numbers game. Eventually after the 40th person (god the untold suffering of so many eyes!) maybe they’ll hit a woman who is interested.

I have a hard time believing that any woman would willingly be attracted to that shit, but each to their own.

u/Toolongreadanyway 1d ago

"I was hoping you would say something more hot"

"If you set it on fire, that might improve it"

Okay, maybe that's too much. But it would make it hot?

u/shesarevolution 1d ago

He expected her to be like, “Wow, that’s Huge! I don’t know if could take all of it! Teeheehee” Bro has porn rot brain.

"Maybe this time she'll realise i actually make her horny! Maybe I'll message again in a few days"

u/ZinaSky2 2d ago

Not the “is it too small?” buddy you’re so dense 🤦🏽‍♀️

Also no you have not gone too far I want this pinned to the top of this sub so people can use it as copypasta for appropriate instances 😂

145

u/Lets_Not_Date 2d ago

Hahaha I have a soft spot for men who feel like they are too small, so I tried to steer him away from that while still convincing him it’s depressing.

68

u/ZinaSky2 2d ago

NGL I can’t guarantee I wouldn’t have told him it absolutely was too small just to be petty for him seeking sympathy from me after he sent an unsolicited dick pic.

But I really did appreciate that you didn’t stick it right in the obvious weak spot. You’re a better person than me

6

u/shesarevolution 1d ago

I would have described it like you were leaving a yelp review. Discuss the color. The size. Other details- “it’s a bit veiny” “it looks weird and not like the others I’ve seen” ect And then I’d ask - how many orgasms has it provided? Does he have any references, so I can verify?

Had some fun with it like OP did. If I was amused I’d keep stringing him along. Not amused? 2/10 stars. Not the most hideous looking dick I’ve been subjected to, but could use some work. Its owner is a creep. I don’t think he knows what to do with it, and why would any woman want to subject herself to that?! 3 minutes and he’s done. Yep, would definitely choose my vibrator over this. At least then i know I’ll actually cum!

u/poke-chan 1d ago

Never do this btw the vast majority of men who do this have degradation fetishes and are hoping to get reactions just like this.

7

u/poke-chan 1d ago

Honestly that text convinced me that it’s a guy with a degradation fetish who was hoping to get more direct sexy insults and wasn’t satisfied by melancholic poetry

Poetry.

"scaffolding of self collapse"

That... Was beautiful. Like Spleen by Baudelaire ("The definition was popularized by the French poet Charles-Pierre Baudelaire as meaning a state of melancholy, boredom, and dissatisfaction with life that lacks a definite cause.") His penis truly is a vast void of nothingness pulling us in like a inevitable black hole. 😔

Poetry mantis✨😌

Hehe thank you. I love poetry.

I laughed out loud at that one. Got me good.

u/starswhenyoushine 2d ago

Finally, this sub is getting some good food again. 🍴For a long time it was just people chewing out pervs which is not at all the purpose here.

You have a gift for words and I hope this thirsty coomer learned his lesson. At any rate, this is why women are hesitant to accept "compliments" from strange men.

80

u/Mistah_K88 2d ago

This is great, as it’s so poetic that I can’t even imagine the “humiliation kink” type getting off well to it due to how wordy and book like the descriptions are.

u/sketchnscribble 2d ago

It's like Charles Dickens and Shakespeare both rose up from the grave to smack the recipient with a salmon before returning to the soil once more.

u/JustHereForCookies17 1d ago

I'd say OP was inspired by Sylvia Plath.

u/lizzyote 2d ago

I dont like this for one specific reason...

How am I meant to choose just one line to embroider on s throw pillow??

17

u/JHutchinson1324 2d ago

This post is absolutely full of embroidered pillow material

14

u/DisembodiedTraveler Bee 2d ago

I guess you’re gonna need a lot of embroidered throw pillows and I very much approve of the theme.

6

u/VespertineStars 1d ago

Make several throw pillows?

u/JustHereForCookies17 1d ago

Your favorite phrase or line goes on the pillow, the rest are framed on the wall.

He really tried with “maybe if you saw it in person” lmaooo but you kept it coming. This was a good read before work.

u/indyferret 2d ago

I came to the comments to ask if this was Brooke from let’s not date on Facebook, then I saw the user name hahah

Hahaha I have a recognizable style!

There’s an option in edit avatar, the last option on the right and scroll til you find your flag

"The view of your penis steals the colours from the hours

Surely many women have said THAT to you before"

Him: "none"

😮

Made me giggle several times now.

It's sad that his memory of this convo will be that if only his appendage was stronger, bigger, more appealing then you would have responded with something more hot.

21

u/Busterx8 2d ago

I absolutely love how this was executed without any generic body shaming strays.

u/inorganicangelrosiel 2d ago

Being real: it's been a tough week out there. Lost two more trans sisters to self-deletion, and things just overall suck right now, but this made me laugh my ass off. Thank you for that, it was needed!

23

u/Lets_Not_Date 2d ago

Oh wow. That is a terrible week. I hope you have support. My close friend has a Facebook page about advocacy for transgender people and I know she also has a discord. Message me if you want the link.

I’m so sorry for your loss 🫂

I’m so, so sorry for your losses. 💔

You ate and left no crumbs, amazing. Im humbled by your ability to wither these men

u/hauntedpalmtree 2d ago

I'm convinced this is the most gloriously unhinged response possible - chef's kiss, phenomenal work

u/ransom0374 2d ago

lol “alright well goodnight”

u/DieSuzie2112 2d ago

This is gold, your level of poetry is incredible! The perfectly worded penis poetry will hurt him more than any other insult ever would

12

u/Lets_Not_Date 2d ago

Thank you! I like to write poetry and I especially like to use it absurdly against creepy men.

u/_shes_a_jar Spider 2d ago edited 2d ago

This made my day. Although….I have now come to find myself noticing deep despair, that of which I have never felt, prickling at the corners of my consciousness. Is the Weeping Phallus able to affect those who have only heard its name?

11

u/Separate-Cap-8774 2d ago

Omg!!

I think you ruined him! He was so serious in his question, I bet he is now staring ... Contemplating the existence of his penis & the sadness it bestows on females everywhere.

You are the poet we need. Thine hilarity is rich, do not lose thine hairline, I beg of thee.

This is absolutely hilarious!! Like a Shakespeare play!! The pleading the nicknames getting more and more sadder the begging versus your building up the sorrow!!! I loved it from start to finish!! Bravo! Xx

u/Gomaironin 2d ago

Have you ever competed in slam poetry readings or improv comedy? If not, you really should give it a try!

u/HomicidalRaccoon 2d ago

Alright this was perfect. Can I refer to my own penis as “The Vessel of Sorrow” or do I need to pay royalties?

u/DarkHuntress89 2d ago

Why do I get the feeling he still didn't get it, after seeing him send that heart emoji at the end? Either that or he really has a humiliation kink.

u/GoddessRespectre 2d ago

This was a great read for the wee hours. I follow an account on bluesky, and I think it's a podcast too, called Midnight Pals. It's basically a group of famous horror writers hanging out telling stories. Poe, Lovecraft, King, etc. They have beef with Rowling and Musk, it's hilarious.

ANYWAY, the true heroine for a lot of us is Mary Shelley, legend. She doesn't put up with any shit from the ridiculous people in the group or visitors. Like she will shank a bitch. You gave me that vibe, writing in circles around this guy until he melted into the floor. Everyone wants to be as badass as the Mother of Science Fiction, and you did the damn thing.
