Sigh. Men, not all women want to be picked up or hit on by a guy. Especially guys who film their failed attempts.
Editor’s note: This video isn’t “funny” in the least. It’s been posted to start a dialogue. Was the male in this video out of line? Was the woman out of line? Why did the conversation go so bad so quickly? Should the woman have been outraged when she knew she was being filmed? Did she know she was being filmed? Did this young woman have valid points? Once again, this was posted so readers could see it and ask their own questions, and likewise give their own answers.
Are we being pranked? Is anyone really this aggressive so quickly? But also, why is the guy filming to begin with?
In a funny rejection video, one woman who is super tired of being hit on goes from zero to sixty in an epic rant after a random stranger tries to engage her in conversation. And unfortunately, he got a lot more conversing than he asked for.
It’s like, not her fault that she’s super pretty and super over everyone being just so obsessed with her okay?! So take a number.
Take a look at this hilarious rejection video, but please make note of one thing. Somewhere on the Internet, some random faux-thority (see what we did there?) is trying to dismiss her frustration by calling her a feminist. She’s not. So ignore that.
And men, this isn’t how turning down a guy normally goes so don’t be scared.

It’s girls like this who ruin it for us girls who actually enjoy being approached. So what if 5 douchebags for every 1 nice guy approach us? It is our job as females to filter out the douchebags and not give up our pussy so easily. Was this guy a douchebag? I’d bet money on it… the fact he was slyly recording shows that. But it is obvious the camera is hidden (no one has a hand that steady) and she didn’t know this at the time as he showed no particular signs of douchebagginess. He did politely ask her… Read more »

No, i don’t believe it’s obvious that the camera is hidden. She wasn’t displaying “psychotic” behavior. She wasn’t exactly nice either and cleary had emotional pain but that doesn’t equate to “psychotic” behavior. You want to see some real “psychotic” behavior? Read about serial killers. When you over-state these kind of words and push them off on regular people who are displaying other emotions other then happiness and joy, emotions that most of us have felt at one time or another and probably even expressed to someone else, you totally misguide the meaning of the word. Please stop upholding the… Read more »
Goodlookingloser.com Chris is a beauty of a guy who is dedicated to helping people better there life in every aspect Nothing wrong with going out in public and hitting on women, society has you brainwashed if you think otherwise, this girl is a clear basket case…….what would’ve been said if the roles were reversed and the girl said “hey you’re cute” and the guy lost his mind?……….would you all defend the guy? get it together people, he was having fun with this, if the camera wasn’t on him , he would’ve walked away and talked to another girl that wasn’t… Read more »
I totally agree with you. This lady is clearly mentally unstable.
@Marbles,
The guy is a first class jackass.
Who goes around filming people without their consent? Idiots! Sociopaths!
For starters, this guy is an idiot. He actually does seem like a pretty big dbag. He was clearly trying to instigate a confrontation with her so he could have some dramatic video to post. I suspect he’s just trying to create an internet following to earn profits through ads. He’s not very quick on his feet in a conversation, so he resorts to insults to provoke a reaction. The only reason I’m sort of glad guys like this exist is because it gives me more confidence in approaching women because I know I couldn’t possibly be worse at it… Read more »
Question- how is what this guy dd any different thant people using cameras on their cellphones, or how the Papaaratzzi take pictures without asking, or reporters continuously asking questions? Overall, the Guy is an Ass for going beyond trying to get her number and name; there wasno reasonfor name caling or invoking ppl’s mothers and what not. That said, Let’s be Really Honest-there are Women for whatever reason will snap at Any and Everyone and claim it is because some Guy(s) treated her badly or Harassed her……….. I’m sure folks get annyed at work all day but that doesn’t justify… Read more »
I’m pretty sure that in that situation if you offer your name and they don’t offer you their name they don’t want to talk to you. Time to leave.
Fascinating. I was thinking: I wonder what the guy looks like. Because I think it makes a huge difference (despite her objections to judging a book by its cover). Does he look like a player? Is he promoting that vibe? He doesn’t really sound like it, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Mostly I’m on her side in this, but it’s hard to decide because the guy doesn’t play his part very well. I mean, if he’s trying to show how an innocent guy gets shot down unfairly, he’s not coming off as honest (or very intelligent, for that… Read more »
He sits at her table without the normal courtesy of asking her, that is plain rude and right there she has a right to tell him to go away. He does not engage in ‘normal’ conversation, he effectively demands she tell him her name. This lady’s reaction to an very impolite person, who was treating her as if she had no right to any privacy if he wanted to talk to her, was extremely patient. She behaved normally and rationally, and her anger is completely justified. Men who are not playing a ‘game’ and filming women without their consent do… Read more »
I was actually on the man’s side in this one. I thought he was pretty patient in trying to engage her. He may have been a sociopathic jerk getting his jollies off her anger or distress but I didn’t sense that. She though has clearly suffered some traumatic pain and hasn’t dealt with it yet. I hurt for her, been there.
Laura, I think you should consider that this guy has post 100+ videos about how to be a pick up artist, which is a pretty sociopathic behaviour to begin with. He does go pretty quickly to insulting her and her family when it doesn’t go the way he’s practiced. The fact that this lady is distressed could be from some other shit she is dealing with, or simply a reaction to this guys invasion of her space and gross expectation of her attention. People are aloud to have trauma, and privacy to work through that and i’m glad you feel… Read more »
I have to side with the woman in this video. The guy in the video provides a perfect example of the reason the woman is hesitant to start a conversation with him. It takes less then 2 minutes for him to insult her mother. That’s just weak. Instead of just walking away, or providing a reason or some reassurance that he’s not just out for her name an number, he insults her family. You just don’t DO that. You insult me, and I’ll insult you back. Say something about my mother, and its a different story. That’s not very productive… Read more »
His vocal tones are off straight away, he’s not picking up on her body language and shoulda left after the first negative part of her reaction. Staying is also harassment. I’d say it’s a fake video but her reaction is shit, and his approach is shit and so is the harassment.
She looks an awful lot like the author of the article. (Put your cursor over the progress bar and you see the unpixellated thumbnail view.) Typical Elite Daily stunt.
First thing I thought too.
This guy did not just walk up and say hi! He was manipulating the situation and holding a camera to boot. He was way out of line and should not be provoking people. She was fine at the start, they guy just kept pressing buttons and probably ruined her whole day. All she was trying to do is enjoy her coffee. Note, she did not tell him to go away in the first instance.
Uh….yeah….
They are both mental.
pretty much.
A man will tell someone that women are bitches.
Then said man will call a woman a bitch.
The women has the audacity to get justifiably offended and calls him out on his behavior.
Man will use this as PROOF that women are bitches.
Women are bitches, just call them one and they’ll prove it to you. No, it’s not the man’s inappropriate behavior, it’s the woman who’s the problem..
If this is the average man’s logic (which I’ve seen played out – complete lack of accountability for one’s actions) progress will never pick up pace.
I think they both behaved badly. Did he come up to her with the camera obviously shown? If he had, I would feel automatically defensive too and wonder what this guy was up to. But I would have found a way to get out of there. She clearly is someone that’s been very hurt though and hasn’t found the best way to deal with it. And this guy is clearly someone that enjoys antagonizing people. He stuck around and kept baiting her. He enjoyed her anger. I think this is real on her part. I suspect he was looking for… Read more »
The guy is completely out of line, fake or not. Instead of fabricating or instigating “problems with feminists” he should go out and help find the cure for aids or learn to build dwellings out of barbwire and sandbags. You know something that makes life worthwhile.
Wow, clearly she has been used and hurt in the past by multiple men and for that I am sorry. However, I don’t think that is an appropriate response to what he did. It is a rare occurrence but I have had two somewhat similar reactions. The first, I was with my best friend, his girl friend, and her friends. We were all standing around and one girl was eating something with sour cream. She got a big glob on her lip and didn’t seem to notice. I thought I would let her know so she wouldn’t get embarrassed by… Read more »
I am going to have to come down on the side of the woman. He is clearly violating her space and boundaries. Actually, she was clearly cordial and pleasant to him in the beginning. Frankly, I do not know why she put up with his ass for as long as she did. He was an annoying jack ass. Her rant was justified. She is not the one who is nuts. He is the nut cas!. Who the hell walks around filming people w/o their permission? No one who is of sane mind. The guy is a tampon!! What baffles me… Read more »
