Girls and Their Stalkers

Red_Marauder · 07-09-2009, 11:26

This is a kind of pet hate of mine. Does anybody have experience of girls (usually averagely pretty, undergraduates or schoolgirls) who are seemingly 'obsessed' for want of a better word, with being stalked.

I have some otherwise nice female mates who whenever an older man asks them a question is 'a creep', any stranger they ever see twice is suddenly 'stalking them'. Just five minutes ago I was sitting beside one such girl in a class lab who decided that a friend who commented on one of her electric picnic photos was 'her stalker'. Another two best friends I know are constantly droning on and on about their latest stalkers (they have gathered quite an impressive tally over the past four years of college).

Does this come from some sort of selfish sense of self-importance? Like I said, it's actually something that in my experience you get a lot more with girls who aren't actually the most attractive in their circle of friends (there's nothing wrong with that) and less so with genuinely very attractive girls.

they crave attention from their friends.

Totally agree, this girl took a restraining order against me and all I was doing was peeping in her window, follow her to school and ringing her a few dozen times a day. Completely unfair.

listen just because i snuck into her bedroom undressed myself compeltly except for a balaclava and took a polaroid picture of myself in her mirror and left it on her bed doesnt make me a stalker ok.

These are usually the same girls who ask friends "do you think i look fat?" even though they obviously aren't and know it.

**The_Minister** · 07-09-2009, 12:03

Tis' better to be desired by an obbsessive weirdo, than not be desired at all.

Kold · 07-09-2009, 12:04

The same girls that dress like sluts just so they can tell guys to f*ck off.

It's a maturity thing. They feel insecure so they need to validate themselves. The same girls get threads posted about their behaviour in nightclubs. I don't know exactly why, but they seem to just have it out against guys in general.

I knew a girl who was getting unwanted attention from a guy in a way that actually was bordering on stalking (the poor guy wasn't very socially aware). She was actually really nice about it. Never told him to **** off (even though everyone said she should). Comparing what she put up with for 2 years, to a girl who makes a huge fuss if a guy tries to talk to her, it makes you wonder how two human beings can be so different.

Thankfully the girls you mention are a minority. Unfortunately they are a very vocal minority.

There are a certain number of fellas who indulge in this too. it's by no means gender specific.

Red_Marauder · 07-09-2009, 12:15

Actually i think it's very gender specific. I've never known another guy to refer to his supposed 'stalker'. I think all attention from pretty girls is welcomed by guys, and attention from less pretty girls tends to be seen as friendly female attention, but asexually.

**Grimes** · 07-09-2009, 12:18

I stalk myself. Its great because I always have to relocate otherwise Ill see me.

O I've been there listening to it all. It's the same ego boost in reverse.
