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).
You can also use Burner App! You can have multiple numbers for different purposes (ie. if you want one for douche guys, and guys you actually want to talk to) and when you’re done with it, you can trash the number completely. Your phone WILL ring if they call it, but when you get home you can just “release” that number and they’ll have no means of contacting you again.
^^^!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know how fucking sad it is there has to be apps for women to use to give men fake numbers? Like how fucked up is this world where women gotta do that.
And I’m on mobile so I can’t post sources but before you say “BUT WHY DONT GIRLS JUST SAY NO?!?” Then you can look up (or someone can reblog this and put links) the literally hundreds of news articles of women being attacked and KILLED for refusing to give their number to an entitled man.
I am so glad to know though that there are sources and apps out here for women to safely give out false numbers to men. It shouldnt have to be that way, but it is, and I hope my sisters can stay safe.
if you happen not to have one of these it’s less suspicious if you switch two numbers in your phone number rather than making up a whole new one. if the guy gets angry, you have a plausible excuse. obviously this is not ideal, you’re better off with these apps, but every little bit helps.
It’s moments like these when I’m thankful for being ugly and unwanted by all. But important for others!!!!!

This incredible 95-year-old transwoman flight instructor found love late in life– only to be denied social security benefits by the government because she’s not cisgender
A beautiful interview with a woman who transitioned in 1976 shows how life for transgender people has changed over the years, although some terrible consequences remain the same.
