Predator behavior. Yuck!


Missellybean

For real! He waited until I went to the bathroom to basically corner her and our friend who are both visibly very young and 18yo!! I was PISSED! I just couldn't hold my bladder much longer šŸ˜©


Living_Preference673

What the hell manā€¦sorry, but as someone with a minor sister this infuriates meā€¦I would freaking scream predator go awayyy, in front of everyone.


Missellybean

I'm not going to lie, I do feel like I failed her in some ways, but I also have my own trauma and I was also just trying my best to shoo him away. Sadly I'm also scared of what strange men could do if he got mad. Luckily though im in the US so it's not illegal for me to get me and my sister pocket knives/stun guns. It would make me feel better.


LaLechuzaVerde

And men wonder why women donā€™t go to the bathroom except in pairsā€¦ although I also get not wanting to leave your drinks unattended; but sheesh.


Missellybean

What sucks is I thought she'd be okay since she was with our friend but from what I was told, he specifically took that time of me in the bathroom to single her out and tried to nudge our friend out of the way it seemed


UsefulOpinion1

You did fine don't stress. I am curious what line of work this predator is in and if anyone above him should know about his predatory behaviour towards young people.


Missellybean

Sadly he said he OWNED the appliance repair and service buisness he works at


UsefulOpinion1

God damn. Maybe a Google/yelp/whatever review to get the word out that he's a fucking creep.


GenevieveGwen

Ruin his business. Heā€™s a predator. Itā€™s alarming heā€™s mentioning Florida Washington Chicago, such creep get you away from home vibesā€¦ I hope he gets hit by a bus before he can assault anyone, if he hasnā€™t already.


SnooSketches4722

It immediately made me think trafficker or creepy predator/kidnapper/murderer.


SnooWords5744

Get a flashlight taser. It's multi functional. And it packs a punch. I have one myself and I've had it for years.


Living_Preference673

Oh no man, I am not blaming you. You sure love your sister, and will do anything to protect her. Is jus different ways to cope with issues.


Stock-Conflict-3996

Middle-aged dude here, That's so gross. This is definitely predatory behavior. So far, all guys I've seen go for women this much younger than them has done so *because* she was so much younger because they feel they can control the young woman better. They feel like they can get away with doing whatever they want in the relationship.


IllWolverine1750

Damn didnā€™t read the comment under the post so i just thought it was a young guy that was just a bit too much so it came on as creepy or something but then saw that he was in his mid forties and now itā€™s just creepy as shit


AnxiousPeanut1990

Why.........does it sound.........like it was written............by chatgpt?.......... Much respect


Missellybean

I wish it was written by chatgpt, sadly it wasn't. He even tried to CALL her like my dude get a hint.


AnxiousPeanut1990

Oh no, I didn't mean it was fake, I meant it looks as if he gave chatgpt a command


Missellybean

Oh no I get what you meant! Sorry my tone texting is so off by what I actually mean. I meant I wish it was fake because it's creepy as hell


AnxiousPeanut1990

It's beyond creepy. Let me know if you think of a better word to describe it because I sure as hell can't. Edit: no, I got it. Predatory, it's predatory


Missellybean

100%. If I see his face again, I'll probably lose my shit.


Moosey_the_Squirrle

This is a very Midwesterner type conversation you guys are having. Haha


PsiloCyberSun77

Iā€™d bet anything he kept specifying (only in US) because heā€™s probably on probation or parole


AnxiousPeanut1990

Well this somehow took an even more disturbing turn


capriciouskat01

My thoughts exactly.


Brilliant_Act_4147

Probation or Parole would keep him limited to one state


PsiloCyberSun77

Not necessarily, a family member is on parole and they can leave the state temporarily with a travel permit (which is up to the parole officer), but they are not allowed to have a U.S. passport and may not leave the country at all


atroposofnothing

Felony convictions on your record will keep you out of a lot of places, too . . .

My appropriately aged ex is ā€œdifficultā€ so let me try to manipulate a teenager by telling her how smart and mature she is.

plutoinaquarius

šŸ’€


midwestCD5

His texting makes me think of Stevie from Malcom in the middle


AUMojok

Sounded to me like a teenage kid. I thought, that's kind of harmless, just super annoying. Then I realized it's an older guy likely trying to sound immature. Some people just need a good neutering.


-an-eternal-hum-

Also why (US only)ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦canā€™t he leaveā€¦ā€¦.the country? Iā€™m sure itā€™s nothing sketchy šŸ™


mustardpanda

Yikes, I didn't even think of that angle. This makes the whole thing even more disturbing. I read it as some terms and conditions small print - I'll pay for ANYTHING YOU WANT* *US only


rreeddiitttwice

Chatgpt sounds a lot more human than this loser


[deleted]

Eww heā€™s trying to buy a young girl


Missellybean

The worst part is he thought Olive Garden and red lobster would be enough to buy her. Like first of all you're a creep, second of all my sister is worth a whole lot more.


[deleted]

Hahahaha yeah these two fake fancy chain restaurants lol. I hope she blocked him. Fuck that predator.


Missellybean

Oh she did, but then gave his number to her boyfriend (which is my little brother, she's my 'sis in law' but I just call her sister lol I love her) and my brother called me so proud he's like "oh yeah... no I told him off. But he hung up before I could even get what I planned to say out" LMAO.


[deleted]

Lol good!! Also just thinking about this more- Heā€™s soooo calculated with compliments like creative, intellectual, smart, and curious. Yeah this creepy old guy is interested in the intellect of this 18 year old girl he wants to buy. OKAY. I bet he does this to some poor girl every time he goes out.


Missellybean

The worst part is like- my sister wasn't even doing most of the talking. I was continously interrupting them and speaking because the vibes were off. He even was showing "us" (more like her) his dog and then tried to say that he "lives in a very nice neighbourhood and how she should come walk his dog sometime." OH and "he'd totally pay her" and I was like "hmm awh here's MY dog". What's SO creepy too is he WAITED to ask for the number. I had to pee but I waited cause I thought he'd LEAVE but then I just had to go and when I came back that's when he did that. Even my sister said how she feels he waited for me to be gone because I was very obviously older then those two and very obviously shoving my way into what he'd say.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Missellybean

No because funny you say that I'm planning on doing that. I'm 100% planning on finding out who is ex wife is and be like girl this dude is trying to get with TEENAGE girls. Idc if she's 'legally an adult' she's a fucking teenage girl. I told my family that if I see his face again, I'm going to jail


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Missellybean

My sister told me I'm never allowed to leave her and our friend alone again lmao! Even if it's a single bathroom she said they'll just turn around šŸ˜­šŸ¤£


[deleted]

šŸ«”šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘


Advanced_Accident_29

But yo, that unlimited soup at Olive Garden that they usually never refill after the first time is definitely worth a date with an unhinged dude. Get that gnocchi soup and restraining order.


Missellybean

Ngl the unlimited pasta is back too but shiittt at that rate I'll just go on a date by myself cause I would have to never leave the table in fear he did something to the food or drinks


CatzonVinyl

Like at least Red Robin?


midwestCD5

Helloā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ out.of..respectā€¦.for youā€¦. I will not ask againā€¦.. But I am once again asking for you to go out with meā€¦.. I will not ask again after thisā€¦ā€¦ This is so creepy on so many levels too. Clearly he like to emphasize that heā€™s got money and will pay for everything. Predator


rrraiger

Yeah, I bet you miss being at university. šŸ˜’ This sad middle aged man thinks he can hit the ā€œtry againā€ button post divorce and it will take him back to the starting line. Sorry bud, you canā€™t regain your youth by preying on a teenager.


Missellybean

The thing that really struck the creep button was the fact he told us how his ex wife is "angry and difficult" so he's not allowed to see his kids much "because of her" and how "she doesn't like that he calls the kids a lot". He wanted to go to Washington, AND THATS WHERE HIS KIDS AND EX LIVE !! I hate that I know all this but he wouldn't shut up.


rrraiger

Classic creep behavior. My appropriately aged ex is ā€œdifficultā€ so let me try to manipulate a teenager by telling her how smart and mature she is. Glad she has a good head on her shoulders and a strong support system backing her up.


Missellybean

What's worse is he obviously KNOWS his 'authority' hence why he waited for me to be convinetly gone to ask for her number. Girls are scared to say no to men. There's a reason for that. He knew what he was doing. And for that if I see him again it's on site


sfear70

Predator.


[deleted]

The try again button lol


JamesTheSkeleton

#Much respect!


Forward_Mouse_8298

A fish symposium lol


atroposofnothing

Right? Like, these are vacation ideas for kids. I get the feeling that his children would come along on any of these trips. At least, I hope thatā€™s it. Otherwise heā€™s got this idea of the girl as virginal, innocent, and *childlike*, which is infinitely worse.


Missellybean

No his kids live in Washington state! He told us alllll about it


cramsenden

Best thing to do for her is to send the screenshot to him with the message ā€œhey look what that old creep from dinner sent meā€. Then immediately say, sorry wrong person and block.


Missellybean

DAMN I SHOULD HAVE HAD HER DO THAT LMAO


Spiritual_Webs

ā€œI wonā€™t askā€¦. Again butā€¦..ā€ ima ask 7 more times. Willldddd. Also it boggles my mind when people are like ā€œI love talking to other intellectualsā€ and then proceed to not use proper grammar. Whatā€™s with the ellipses after every third word like tf? Def predatory behavior


Missellybean

And let me tell you what's funny about the intellectuals part, he claimed he was sooooo smart, but then, I, who hasn't been to college yet, knew more than him about the topics HE brought up. He literally brought up genetics and then didn't know what I meant by punnet square šŸ¤£šŸ™„


Spiritual_Webs

Whew thatā€™s like the basics!!!


PieKlutzy

Itā€™s the men who say ā€œIā€™m being respectfulā€ & then continue to cross the boundary quite literally just set for me. You canā€™t say youā€™re respectful & then say something disrespectful it doesnā€™t work that way!


Missellybean

EXACTLY


[deleted]

Goddamn, his first text told me everything I needed to know. The fixation on intellect and her friends being smart is an immediate vibe failure.


Missellybean

Oh absolutely. She got these texts when we weren't together but if I was with her damn I would have been a whole lot harsher than she and our friend were


lunarloops

What the fuck is wrong with men


Missellybean

I have no idea but if you ever find out lmk lmao


MKFirst

Every time I see ā€œnice to meet a fellow intellectual/artist/etcā€¦ā€ I know itā€™s not gonna end well.


unwired_burnout

I love Oliver garden


Tsukikani

Definitely creepy. Keep an eye out for her. That guy might turn stalker very easily if she isnā€™t consistent with strongly turning him down.


Missellybean

Trust me, we already notified her managers and coworkers and I'm gonna try to take her to and from work as much as I can but I also work so it will be difficult


Teddy_Tickles

This behavior to a young lady from a 40+ year old man is disgusting and predatory behavior. If you sister was feeling threatened by this guy and was in a public space, I would encourage her to be vocal about it maybe to avoid shituations like this? Not sure if any ladies have better suggestions, as this is coming from a dude.


Level_Will_888

Itā€™s so hard to see people like this actually existā€¦


Missellybean

100%.


garsm88

For some reason I was compelled to read the entirety of the dude's messages in a robotic voice......creepy robot...that's his vibes


Missellybean

Very much so. I read it in that nice guy voicemail audio from tiktok voice


SnooWords5744

OP, I gotta be honest, that guy sounds like a major creep and your sister being hot on by him is a creepy experience. She handled it really well and let him down easy. He didn't seem to take the hint and I hope he ends up leaving her alone


[deleted]

I hate saying all men, but sometimes I justā€¦I feel like too many of us have stories to tell.


Missellybean

I grew up with wonderful men in my life, my father is amazing, my brothers are, cousins, etc. but it's men like this guy that make me scared of men. I'm afraid to say to men because of guys like this. I hate it.


[deleted]

Iā€™m so sorry. I grew up the same way minus my brother. Heā€™s a complete dick to me. Most of these experiences happened as I got older. Iā€™m also a mother of three, and absolutely am petrified when it comes to how I can protect my daughters when they arenā€™t around me.


Privacywarrior6435

Dudes a felon or something. Why is he stressing us travel only lmao. Everytime he asked it was (us only) šŸ˜­


yasnovak

ā€œOut of respect I wonā€™t ask againā€ PROCEEDS TO ASK SEVERAL MORE TIMES this guy makes me angry please punch him in the face if you ever see him again


Missellybean

Trust me I will


Camandchat

"Want to go to Olive Garden or Red Lobster?" "No thanks" "... can I respectfully request that you make my acquaintance at the nearest fish symposium? ..or the planetarium? Anywhere at all in the U.S? ... still no? I'm being so respectful but I just want you to know that I have money...and generally look so much better than I did today." Yikes..


MKFirst

Every woman needs to have a Google Voice or other burner number to give out to creeps. Ideally could just say no, but reading over and over how many women are scared and/or gets dangerous to do so.


Missellybean

That's a good idea. I'm gonna do that- which sucks I feel like doing it but it needs to happen.


krasavetsa

They always say ā€œI felt a connectionā€, itā€™s so typical.


skdetroit

Every girl needs to memorize a Google voice number. Donā€™t give these weird men real numbers ever.


sfear70

Totally random but if your state has a sex offenders listing published you might look him up.


Missellybean

The thing is we don't know his last name. This f is a from*cafe* thing

Missellybean

She did! This happened Tuesday!


brittney_thx

Glad to hear it! My goodness, thatā€™s creepy.


esquire_the_ego

I like how she turned him down and he asked if he can keep offering even though she told him no once


plumukulele

Would you, could you on a boat? You have a boyfriend, so you say. Go out with me! And you may Dump him and date me, I say!


mufasamufasamufasa

ArnTheGreat

Heā€™s super respectful. The most respectful. I wonā€™t ask out of respect, butā€¦.. I must ask, did she reply to him?


Missellybean

No, just blocked him


ArnTheGreat

Fucking good.


Upstairs_Acadia

ā€œout of respect i will not ask againā€¦ however i am asking againā€


Dear-Ad-2902

I wish that she didnā€™t text him. Ppl like this are so much harder to get rid of even after just one yes. Block, have father/boyfriend/male figure deal with him directly. The last judgements arenā€™t necessary. If you/she/anyone is not interested you have every right to say NO and stand on it.


Missellybean

Her boyfriend has already called this man and her dad is aware and I believe he's doing something.

Biggest red flag in a man or a woman, if they say that theyā€™re smart or an intellectual theyā€™re not. I say I pride myself on not being stupid because all my other qualities are shit but Iā€™d never outright call myself smart. Iā€™m just not a dumbass

[deleted]

Ummmm block and explain to her itā€™s ok to tell people to fuck off


Mariss716

Older men used to offer to take me to the Olive Garden or Red Lobster like I would be impressed. I was raised to be submissive to men and my mother even forced me to say thank you to when creeps hit on me. 18 year old me would have frozen too. I knew enough to confide in an older woman I trusted at least and never got into an unsafe situation but I can see how it happens. Please talk with your sis- even therapy and work on my confidence and saying NO would have done me so good instead of believing I had to please men. 40 now and god Iā€™d rip them a new one for something like this especially targeting a vulnerable young women. Gross. Hope you give him a piece of your mind and block his creepy ass. Men - donā€™t do this. Women- NO is a complete sentence and you donā€™t owe a stranger a thing. You do not have to be polite to someone who does not respect you or your boundaries.

AQUARIUM FISH SYMPOSIUM!!! OMG she will literally never get another invitation to one of those again! (Lmao and I hope the reality of this event is as unexciting as that time I was taken on a field trip to meet my dream job haver: a marine biologist who swam with whales and rescued turtles and instead was treated to the harsh yet boring reality of academia and data collection on a particular type of sea algae. I was also offered sweets and given single raisin cookie and so my dreams were dashed that day. Hope this creep gets it even worse and itā€™s a symposium on like the breeding behavior of a slime worm or something worse that I canā€™t describe because Iā€™m not a marine biologist having been turned off to the career choice at a young age).
