YALL YALLL YALL so apparently guys call girls the second she gives them her number to make sure its the right one when the fuck did this start happening? like i saw it happen last night and my eyes literally got really wide this some new level shit forreal

I feel like it started getting more popular in like the past 4-5 years? Coinciding with the rise of smartphones. Honestly and unfortunately your best bet is getting a Google voice so that you can give them a fake number that works and then you can just block them in the app. Dudes are disturbingly entitled and that’s probably the safest way to go about things right now.

It’s really gross that the only way that you can fully protect yourself is to do something you don’t wanna do. Also it doesn’t protect you from the core issue at hand or from those pushy guys that will ask for your phone so that they can put their number in themselves then proceed to call their phone from your phone (also becoming more popular).
