Reaching out to a girl on a popular dating site. But after no response, just 21 minutes later, we see a different side. Stuck up exmre tef. I would beat the living expletive out of you. Its a new phenomenon on dating websites where tweet nothings seem to quick little veer towards rage. Male cluelessness in the dating world is nothing new. For many women, this scene from crazy stupid love is all too familiar. You are never going to regret going home with the guy from the bar who was a total tom cat in the sack. Okay. Can i buy you a drink . You know what, its time to go home. Reporter men who cant take a hint, no matter what you say. Like this guy in the movie hitch.

Reporter she startled posting the exchanges on instagram and named the account buy felipe. And with an estimated 40 million americans using Online Dating services, there have been plenty of bad apples. The Instagram Page was instantly popular. In just three weeks, the site has gained nearly 200,000 followers, with women chiming in on their own bad experiences. No reply, no answer, expletive, jump off a bridge. Lol. Ive come to a conclusion that youre a classa expletive. No worries, youre not my type either. I dont like fat girls. Emily, who wouldnt say her last name, also shared her experience on bye felipe. One man started with a very kind message about what, i want to take you out for dinner, and i didnt respond to it. I didnt go on that day. And then his final response was, in a very derogatory way, how ugly i was as a person. Reporter emily believes bye felipe will shame men into behaving better. That page is amazing. Definitely outs the bad men and i think that actually could change behavior. When i started it, i never, ever thought it would get this big. Just thought it was funny.

Reporter she reports the offending messages to ok cupid staffers who then decide if the user should be banned. Ok cupid says it takes harassment seriously. On its website, it asks users to please let us know by reporting the offending member. Its really common for people to say, thats just boys being boys and you just have to put up with it. No. I really dont want to be putting up with that. I have i have human dignity. Reporter so, how would women deal with these nasty messages . Laurel house recommends deleting them right away and never responding. Dont respond. You are fueling their fire and honestly, it will get worse. Ignore it. Reporter and just remember, there are still nice guys out there. Finding the good ones on there are few and far between, but its possible. I recently had a friend get engaged to a guy that she met on tindr. It can happen. It has. Maybe it will happen for me. Reporter for nightline, im brandi hitt in los angeles.
