21 Hysterically Pathetic Guys With Terrible Social Skills Who Just Can't Take A Hint

Dating in this day and age is a complete disaster; you often end up disappointed and regret pursuing people romantically in the first place. Texting makes it even worse, as many people seem to lack social skills, making real-life interactions even more awkward.

Most individuals have really high expectations of the people they're dating, and one small misstep can completely change their minds about the person they're seeing. It's entirely normal to have preferences, but if those preferences are based on unattainable standards, you risk ruining your dating life with your own hands.

Texting often brings out the worst in people; the fact that you don't see the other person's live reaction to what you just said gives people more courage to say things they would not normally say in real life. As a result, many individuals end up sending some of the most disgusting texts imaginable.

The screenshots below contain some of the most cringe-worthy interactions that girls have had with guys. It's incredible what some men allow themselves to say, and the worst part is that they genuinely believe women will respond positively to their requests, which shows just how out of touch they really are.
