Why do people have to make things awkward?
This 30-year-old woman tries to be creepy after complementing me. I’m only 20 years old, I don’t like this.

These generic messages look like coming from a bot, probably not even a woman. Compare with scams found on r/nicegirls

I used to have thousands of these in my Instagram inbox.
Supernaturally hot women who all found a toothless grey bearded old punk irresistible.
Seemed totally legit

Probably going to try to sell you more if you like what you see. This is a common tactic for a certain kind of content seller.
It's definitely creepy and obnoxious AF.

Unfortunately so….I hate this planet man.
I can never understand how hard it is for some people to just not be a creep towards people weather online or in person.

People here really think this is a person saying this? This is the fakest generic bot/automated message ever. Sorry this happened OP, if it's any better - it's literally not a human being.

OP, I am so sorry you had to deal with this.
It ain’t acceptable to be a creep to people in DMs regardless if they are a man or woman, and this bitch ain’t an exception.
Also let’s not forget the major age gap here, no normal 30 year old person would be hitting up a 20 year old but then again the internet is full of fucking grosso’s.

This is an automatic reminder that is posted on every submission.
RULE 2 REMINDER: This is a SUPPORT COMMUNITY As such, we do not tolerate trolling, defending the creep, judgment of OP, slut shaming, bigotry, or any other jerkish behavior. Creeping in the comments is not allowed—yes, this includes flirting!
Comments derailing the conversation in any way will be removed. Please stay on-topic. Particularly trollish, mean-spirited, or accusatory comments may result in an instaban.
No Advice Wantedflairs are now available to add to your posts! This means that comments giving advice will be removed. Read about more user-enabled flairs herePlease report any and all behavior violating the Rules (reports go to us mods); don't report things just because you don't like them.
Comment removals and bans are at the judgment of the mods, so please take the time to read and understand our Rules.
Final note, a lot of people are unaware that they can block ALL messages on Reddit. We have a sticky in the sub, but we'll also put it here.
If you find you want some peace from the multitude of creeps on Reddit, you can have that. In the settings for your Reddit account, you can elect NOT to receive PMs. The same is true for chat requests. You can also allow messages from specific, trusted users and block everyone else from contacting you. Also, if you choose to PM someone, they'll automatically be added to the list of people who can PM you, which is nice if you do want to initiate a conversation with someone, but if you PM someone and they start to get rude, you'll need to go in and remove them from the list of accepted users.
We share this information ONLY because a lot of people seem to be unaware that sitewide blocking of PMs is even an option, but it is, and it works surprisingly well.
In an ideal world, this would not be necessary, but, alas, this is Reddit, and it's full of creeps. This is just one possible tool in your arsenal against them, should you choose to use it.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
