15 Women Share The Craziest Messages They’ve Ever Received From A Man
It gets crazier by the minute.
A 28-year-old woman refused to let a random DM ruin her night, and honestly, she should not have had to. Her inbox was already a minefield, then the messages started rolling in, one after another, from men who somehow thought “flattering” meant “unhinged.”
It wasn’t just one bad text, either. A whole group of single ladies compared notes, swapping screenshots of everything from “you’re a star, babe” energy to straight-up chaos. Some of the guys went bold with weird confidence, others tried to slide in through COVID-era nonsense, and a few really committed to the bit, like the message that began with a chip crumb and somehow ended with an “L.

The sound spread rapidly, mainly because people were somewhat jealous. When you've been single for a while and have had to sift through a lot of nonsense, it can be difficult to remain optimistic about finding love. So many ugly messages, cruel texts, and snaps you wish you could forget.
The single ladies banded together to discuss the different things they'd heard from men. None were as flattering as "you're a star, babe."
Even in times of pain, we must find things to laugh about:

That “you’re a star, babe” compliment sounds sweet, until you remember the rest of the inbox was basically a horror movie lineup.
The chip crumb-to-“L” saga is where the group chat really started losing it, because how do you even get there?
When the messages jumped from “mask is all the protection you need” to “imagine a world with no chairs,” the women had to pause like, what is happening.
And once the “grandma fetish” and “a heart of stone” lines showed up, it was game over for normal conversation and hello, screenshots forever.
The internet is swimming with all kinds of people, and not everyone is what you’d expect them to be.
We bet these ladies, for example, had no idea that some of these messages would turn out as they did. They were probably shocked to their core when they saw them. We know we would have been.
