Where is this magical world where every single woman ever screeches I HAVE A BOYFRIEND like some sort of boyfriend-having eagle?
OdeToBouncer
This world. She has a boyfriend, who's a member of the eagles. http://imgur.com/UOOCi61
SgtChowdown
It's not her fault that he taught her his native language.
ChainsawHandsJoe

theminutenewt
+1 for boyfriend-having eagle
RagePhish
The reason women are so quick to use this line is cause so many have had guys not back off until they are told she has a boyfriend.
SjorsM
Does the speed of delivery of the line help? Like before the guy says anything rather than after the first sentence??
TheyHunger
From what I gather yes. It makes them more likely to think she's just a bitch and go after someone else without giving a lecture about *1
TheyHunger
*2 "leading men on" or being a cocktease.
Fishworshipper
Surely it's possible to let the guy finish his sentence?
RagePhish
Agreed, When you look at it in the abstract. But when you consider a women has probably dealt with this for years or decades, I get her side
Fishworshipper
I can understand her justification, I just think it's silly and wrong. Give the guy *one* sentence, if only to show his purpose. 1/2
Fishworshipper
If he flirts tell him "I have a boyfriend," if he continues tell him "fuck off". Maybe my ignorance colors my thoughts, though. 2/2
RagePhish
Which is bigger issue of men. It respecting women. But instead respecting their real or imaginary boyfriends more. And only then backing off
Treefur
You do know a lot of courtship is playing hard to get, right? Trying to convince somebody you are worth being with...
RagePhish
And it's obvious when someone is playing hard to bet vs not interested. But unfortunately many men struggle with this or just don't care
Treefur
Never say "it's obvious" with human interaction. Not everybody has the same social skills. That's a large assumption to make.
RagePhish
If someone is gonna use the "they're just playing hard to get" line, then I get to assume they have adequate social skills
dasklaus
How is your first comment perfectly coherent and sensible and the second one a disjointed jumble?
RagePhish
I am an awful typer. Especially on my phone. Hate that we can't edit posts here. I have lots of butchered posts on this site :(

That makes sense. Thanks for explaining. I meant no offence.

The point is her availability had nothing to do with it. SHE made it the issue, unnecessarily. He was trying to return lost items.

As a lady, the problem is we get called a bitch or a slut if we don't make it very clear IMMEDIATELY that we have a boyfriend if anyone 1/2
tanadarko
Yup. Sometimes "no" is just seen as a challenge. MY fav is when a guy is being a pig and the b/f arrives and he apologizes TO THE GUY.
jenniii
Straight up. Apologize to me. I'm the one you're inconveniencing.
jacksparrah
this. I once called my friend over because this guy wouldn't leave me alone... and he immediately ignored ME and apologized to my friend 1/2
jacksparrah
and said "Hey man, sorry. Didn't realize she was your woman." I was livid.
tanadarko
That's even WORSE!! I've just got the "Oh, sorry man, I didn't realize." which is the same thing implied but still.
lordbucket
As a lady, you might consider the possibility that there could be more polite delivery than "Hi, are you-" "I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!"
lordbucket
Also, "I have a boyfriend" is a denial of responsibility. As if to say "it's not my fault I'm rejecting you." Not very classy.
TheyHunger
Have you read any of the other responses? It's explained pretty thoroughly throughout this thread WHY they might choose to be rude.
Wombatish
Lol no. "Sorry, I'm taken" is a kind rejection if anything, and also usually accurate reason 'You might be cool but I'm not looking/happy'.
dasklaus
A lot of guys will not respect a "no, thanks", but respect another man's territory. And what you're describing is called politeness.
jacksparrah
In my experience, just rejecting without the bf excuse means a lot of guys will keep trying. Which is stupid to me, but them's the breaks.
jacksparrah
I'm not saying I do this. I'm explaining why other girls do. I'm certainly not advocating it as the right choice to make.
lordbucket
Then I humbly request that the next time you see a woman do this, please ask her to deliver in a way that allows us our dignity too.
becauseurwrong
How about individual women can do what they think is best for themselves and men can fucking suck it up.
SjorsM
How about men can get unreasonably angry at women rejecting them and women can unreasonably keep doing this! That will get us further! 1/2
bengalhoel40
You should be able to use context to decide whether or not you need to be rude. If you are in a bar he might be hitting on you, but this?
crazyhornedlizardlady
A college tailgate may as well be a bar.
WhereDidILoseMyPants
Agreed.. I'll casually throw it out there 5-10 min in that I'm going to watch football with my boyfriend when he gets his ass to the bar :)
Quipman
I think the problem ppl have is when girls say they have a boyfriend instantly and then want you to skedaddle, just saying is fine.
jacksparrah
The problem is people think "I have a boyfriend" is synonymous with "fuck off" automatically, so it's treated like the same sentence.
nonstopfox
The problem is some women think "hey, you dropped your tickets" is synonymous with "I want to fuck you". It's never cool to assume
ScurrilousScalawag
I feel like whether it's taken as a "fuck off" depends a great deal on the tone with which it's delivered. Or it should, anyway.
Quipman
Well some ppl say IHAVEABOYFRIEND!! saying that if they just ask for direction /u lost something/ a normal question is just weird
Quipman
Saying that if they strike up a conversation is normal and nice.
jacksparrah
with a dick shows interest in us. I'd rather just spit it out at the start of a convo rather than eventually say it 10 minutes later and 2/3
jacksparrah
have an entitled man-baby call me out for 'hiding' and 'wasting his time'. God forbid you just wanted to talk to me, right?
simonh2000
Don't have to assume that everyone's like that, tho, because you end up hurting the ones who actually aren't douchebags.
SpikeTheGoat
I'd say it is more in the way it is said. When you say it 'sassy' like the person should have known or is bothering you, it comes off rude
jacksparrah
tone has a lot to do with it, but people are also BAD at reading tones. I've been called names because I sounded 'bitchy' when I was tired.
SpikeTheGoat
Yeah that's fair. I have a generally calm/flat voice and have been accused of not caring when it's just my voice. Can't please everyone ;)
Blodgarmpls
1) I think the issue here is that the girl didn't even let the guy finish his sentence. Let them finish first, then say 'I'm sorry, I have a
Blodgarmpls
2) boyfriend," if he's actually hitting on you.
44no44
Isn't there a big difference between saying it ten minutes in and blurting it out instantly? At the very least spare a guy some sentences.
Blodgarmpls
Just wait until he finishes the first sentence? Seems pretty simple to me
frenchcook
yeah, bad idea with some guys, sadly, they go from "just wanna chat" to absolute agressive asshole in a second and it's terrifying
SjorsM
I have no idea why you are getting downvoted by saying there's a middle ground...
kittybuttwiggle
Are you maybe trying to say there's a middle ground? You yourself posted a comment that explains why dropping that instantly can be bad
44no44
Yes, I was saying that a middle ground of ~a few sentences to clarify intent would be less rude. Guess I'm being downvoted for that idea.
jacksparrah
If there's a perfect time to say it I haven't found it yet. Immediately makes you a bitch, ten minutes later makes you a bitch too.
Emberjack
It is possible that you could just be a bitch, and the content of your words doesn't matter. :0
HayYall
I mean 15-30 seconds is good instead of right the fuck after "excuse me," especially when you dont even know what his intentions are.
Wombatish
Yep, and some guys can't take a fucking hint to save their lives. "That's nice, no I don't want to hang, I have to go pick up my fiance" *c*
Wombatish
And my casual character-saving recounting of the convo doesn't do it justice, but the 'let's fuck' 'leave me alone, also taken' was there.
Wombatish
*c* "Oh, so you're just busy right now, give me your number so I can hit you up later". No.jpg. So at that point you get to become blunt *c*
Wombatish
*c* and risk the rage (that's all the more likely because he's clearly an entitled douche at that point).
DoggoMcDoggoFace
I had a guy come into my work and start hitting on me. I responded to a question with a story about my boyfriend and I but all he did was

Hey, is your fiance a catch? Maybe I want to go pick up your fiance too. ;3

I need a guy to tell me when it's okay to tell them I have a boyfriend.Like when I guy tells me he wants to make my ass squirt?Can I say it?
Klingon00
I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how hard it must be to treat others with respect until shown they don't deserve it first...
LieutenantGordon
I'm a bitch if I say no and I'm a bitch if I say I have a BF. There is literally no way for me to win if I'm not interested.
tanadarko
You're also a bitch if you have a BF and don't disclose it soon enough, making you a cock-tease.
Fishworshipper
You could try waiting until the guy finishes at least the first sentence.
LieutenantGordon
I do, because I'm willing to give benefit of the doubt ( unless he's outright super creepy). Results are the same.
DefinetlyNotObsessed
I mean better listen to one creepy sentence than lose several hundred dollar tickets
SjorsM
You could say: "Thank you! I hadn't noticed I dropped them!" No need to tell them your marital status if they're not interested.
LieutenantGordon
2 won't take no for an answer unless I 'belong' to someone else.
RagePhish
Had this happen to my wife recently. And then the guy apologized to me brother Han her for being too pushy
LieutenantGordon
Did you read my last comment? Even when I let them finish I still get called a bitch for saying no. There are no shortage of guys who 1

tell flirting guys to not waste their and ur time and dont act arrogant on non-flirting guys! tell them apart! its called social competence!
Blodgarmpls
That's a false dichotomy

1. It's not. Before you arrived, 15 other creeps came up to her, checking out if 'she belongs to someone or is she up for grabs' because
RecurringNightmare
15 other guys? suuure! maybe "she" should go where normal people are and not hang out in the asshole-nightclub..or "she" likes the attention
IPutAHexOnYou4c6f7665206d65
@Blodgarmpls here is an example.
IPutAHexOnYou4c6f7665206d65
2. not being interested in a man, is not acceptable, unless she's 'taken'. And she's heard EVERY 'original' line, at least a dozen times
IPutAHexOnYou4c6f7665206d65
3. However, if she's at a bar, or at a sport or generally outside, 'why is she there if not to tease?' and for some reason she dressed

Once, out in Beverly Hills I was called out to fix their system (high end jewelry store) security said the manager was put back so I went

Back there, introduced myself and was hit with a "I have a boyfriend and I'm WAY out of your league" Hit her back with a "I make 6 figures

They do this because they don't know if you're a regular guy or a rapist murderer who will see any negative response as a personal attack.

I've seen it happen, as a girl. I don't need to right now, but if I was brave enough to approach a girl I'd be thoroughly scared

I have a co-worker that it's easy to see when she's single, because when she's not, all conversations will lead to "This reminds my bf..."

I bumped a girl on campus last year, and turned to apologize, as I did so, I heard her loudly say to her friend how great her boyfriend is

Yah I have. Was at a bar and a girls purse fell of her seat into a puddle. Tried to let her know and she dropped the line. Whatever...

It's like, ho...I'm in a happy relationship. Just tying to let u know your shits getting ruined. Hope her purse got stepped on.

I don't get what your point is. Are you saying since it hasn't happened to you it must never happen? Or just pointing it out for some reason

I'm just saying that this seems to be really common (based on imgur posts), but I've never seen it happen irl.

While it's not super common I'm guessing to happens hundreds of times a day across the world, warranting the number of posts about it. :)

I kinda want this to happen now, got a whole speech and everything.
AmandaMansfield
As a woman, I couldn't even imagine saying that to someone. Women/girls who default to that response must really have huge egos to..
AmandaMansfield
Immediately assume that anyone trying to talk to them is interested in them. Definitely not my first thought when approached.
misskittyamazing
That means most women find you attractive. My friends always lead off with "i have a bf" to guys they find homely. I just lead with a stare.
misskittyamazing
A look of acknowledgement gives me enough time to see what you want in case it's important, with room to ignore if I'm not interested.
TremendouslyBestWords
Are a dude with a chip on his shoulder about "tumbler feminist sjws"? Then it probably won't EVER "happen" to you.

It actually does happen. And it's so off-putting that you want to don't want to talk about anything else, feeding back on the idea that...

all you wanted to do was hit on her.

That's because you're not even attractive enough for her to consider it a possibility you might attempt to mate with her. You and me both.

As a Best Buy employee I can confirm. "Is there anything I can help you find?" Girl: "oh no I'm just waiting for my boyfriend" like wtf

Well she might have been doing exactly that. What else should she have said? I don't think this trope is applicable here.

jmega
I have a co-worker like that. She takes any kind gesture as a man flirting with her. No joke. I try explaining to her but she doesn't get it
GoodEyeSniper1
she's probably been burned before
jmega
She hasn't actually. She had never been in a relationship, and the moment she did she started assuming all guys were flirting with her.
GoodEyeSniper1
okay yeah that's narcissism. I've just known women who take niceness as flirting in order to protect themselves
Studoku
She assumes the explaining is also flirting.
jmega
The parking attendant was explaining something to her about monthly parking... She said he was flirting. I was there riding shotgun.
8scout8
She's probably narcissistic..Not worth the time
jmega
Yeah i stopped. I guess it makes her feel better about herself.
SilverLullabies
And here I am sitting here thinking anybody who flirts with me is joking or doing it on a dare.
cowsandstuff
There are two kinds of people! I legit didn't realize that a friend was flirting with me,and he was obvious! Another friend had to tell me..
jmega
I've never taken anything as flirting, I just assumed if they were really into me (or I them) we would just be upfront and straight about it
cowsandstuff
Right, except he even told me he loved me and was afraid he was too much so that he would drive me away.. I am not very bright, it seems
flapperfemmefatale
i have a tendency to do that, only because i've had guys suddenly go stalkerish when i thought they were just being friendly.
Knillis
Not saying it would've worked, but often saying 'no not interested' works quite good (when you're sure he's hitting on you).
Knillis
When you best around the bush we guys ain't got a clue what the heck you want.
flapperfemmefatale
tried that. he said he would convince me otherwise.
jmega
Wow. That doesn't sound very attractive by any means. If you weren''t interested in the beginning, what made him think you would later?
Kythyria
What these sort of threads seem to say is that it's better to be a supreme jerk to people's faces.

Except when you do that you tend to attract a whole gang of "choke me Daddy" girls.

largehadroncollisions
I agree with this, it's extremely difficult getting creepy guys away from you without.mentioning you have a boyfriend. It's a shame that ++
largehadroncollisions
It's the only resort and we have to do it so often that it becomes second nature when a random bloke approaches us
Corallyne
Though, it's starting to lose its effectiveness.

Would be great if replacing it with "no thanks, I'm not interested" would work

Girl at the grocery store was in my way. I said "excuse me". She said she had a boyfriend. I said "I'm married, do I win?". She moved.

1 As a girl, I can see why that'd be annoying. In some cases though it's unfortunate, as you'd be surprised the number of times guys refuse
arachnophiliac
to lay off of harassing (even when you say stop) unless you say you have a boyfriend.
dasklaus
It's because they only respect another man's "claim", never your free will. The "I got a boyfriend" reflex exists for a reason.
IThrowLemons
Yeah if a girl could just wait to hear what the guy is saying, that'd be great. "Excuse me, you dropped your..." "I HAVE A BOYFRIEND" 1/2

Now that's just crazy. I don't think anyone is against using the phrase as a means of getting rid of creeps. 2/2

Indeed. It's really a shame though, that sometimes you're respected more as 'someone else's girl' than yourself as a sentient being.

Right but my point is that if you're trying to do a good deed you shouldn't not do it because that person was a jerk. (1)
