How To Lose A Facebook Pervert In 10 Easy Steps

If you are a woman and on Facebook (or any social network),  you know the drama that comes along with friending some people.  If you are like me, you've friended people who you may not know outside in the "real" world but who have similar interests or play online games you do. Some strangers can be perverts for sure but sadly sometimes it's people you went to school or worked with that are now suddenly "brave" enough to hit on you because they are safe behind a computer screen. Some of the pervs come out of nowhere and even without being your fb friend send you messages. (Case in point...Just got this in my "other" file of my messages. 

 " Hi, I got attracted to your profile while browsing through, I must be frank with you and say; you are looking quite cute and beautiful in your profile picture, though I’m much more humbled by the serene looks of your eyes and your smile. I am Jason, and I'd like to get to know you, and be your friend... if u don't mind."


Yeah, Jason...Like that is going to happen ;)


 It doesn't matter what your relationship status is or if you go on and on in your status updates about how happy you are in your relationship, you will find your message box and wall chock full of messages from men...and some women. Some are scammers hoping to tell you their "sob" stories in hopes that you will send them money. Other are just pure perverts. Period. Well, it's taken me some time but I've finally figured out which ones are perverts with bad intentions and which ones are nice guys who just happen to be perverted.  This is how you figure them out and below this list is my best advice on how to get rid of them...

1)  When "they" start a random conversation with you assume immediately that they have bad intentions because from my experience, most of them do.  This way you will have your guard up. If they sincerely just want to chat then you can be pleasantly surprised.

2) If you are like me and you're too nice and feel you must reply back with a "hello" to someone who greets you in your messages, don't be surprised if the next line is "You are soooo pretty." or some kind of line like that. While we all like compliments, very few real friendships start with a judgment of your outside...It's up to you if you want to give that person more time but if you do watch out for number 3.

3) They ask you if you are with someone. Duh, read my relationship status. It's not hidden.  And no matter what you say they don't care.  They are just pretending they do.

4)  You post a status about something and they are the first to like it and reply with some sexual comment. Now we all have friends like that...and if you know them, great. But if you don't know them from Adam then they are a Pervert.

5)  They say they "accidentally" sent you a message. They meant to click on a friend they know well but inadvertently clicked your name. And started a conversation. And didn't notice that the picture and name wasn't their friend? Yeah, ok.  Shaking my head.

6) They have something, anything, in common with you.... They noticed it when looking through your FB page. Yet they didn't notice that you are engaged, married, in a relationship?  Yeah sure.

7) They read your stuff and tell you how "talented" you are yet never go back to read it after the initial one. Why? Because they were only doing it to feign interest. 

8) They are nowhere to be found when you want to chat yet when they want to talk, they expect you to be there waiting.

9) They ask for pictures... I know, right. That is an easy one but the "smart" ones wait a little while before dropping that bomb.  

10) They have no interest in you after the initial time they pretended to care. They never ask how you are, what you are doing or ask you about something you mentioned before.  If someone really cares they won't forget that you told them you have an important doctors appointment that is causing you concern or that you were stressed over the next day at work..Etc, etc. 

I can add to this list forever....There are so many schemes. Honestly, I have more respect for the ones that just get the point right away...Instead of wasting your time pretending they know you, want to know you, give a crap at all~They state that they want a friend with benefits and blah blah blah. At least they aren't acting like they care, aren't playing on your emotions, etc.  

I admit, it's not always so clear what someone's intentions are. I've met people on face book who seemed to truly want friendship. They've played the part of "friend" so well that it was difficult to tell that they were playing me.  One in particular would give just enough information about himself and show just enough concern to make me think we had what was a possible lasting relationship.I think those are the worst types, the lowest of the low, because they hide their intentions deeply within a facade of being a friend.  I only realized too late that I was only good for him when he was bored...I didn't have any real value to him and my purpose in his life was just as a "plan b".  The signs were all there but I was too overtaken by my own naivity and sincere hope to see it.  The list to figure it out is the same as above but be warned... If they are any good at the game their motives will be glossed over by promises of "maybe someday" and by telling you what you want to hear.

Here are ways to make most perverts run (Other than blocking them which isn't as fun and let's face it, they will possibly just make a  new facebook account with a different identity and try to friend you again anyway...True story..)

1)  Talk... A lot. Tell them your entire life story (of course making up most of it because who wants a pervert to know the intimate details.) Make it interesting but for the love of GOD, Do NOT talk about anything remotely sexy.  This part is difficult because a true perv finds almost everything sexy.

2)  Talk about your cats. A LOT. (Or whatever animal you choose). There is nothing "Sexier" than a person who talks about their pets like they are people and rambles on about everything from the cute things they do to their toilet habits. 

3)  Tell them you're dying. It's not a lie. We all are. No perv finds death sexy...Well, I've been told that a few do but I am NOT going there. That is where the block and report buttons come in handy.

4) Tell the Pervert that your significant other reads all your messages and can (and has) tracked down any man who messages you.  

5) Ask for money. 

6) Ask for a kidney. 

7) Ask about their relationship with their Mother. 

8)  Tell them you were once a man. Hopefully they won't like that.

9) If they ask you for your skype or your phone number, give them your significant others details. That will go over well.

10) Last, but certainly not least, if none of the above works, simply become clingy. Start to ask them lots of questions, "Where have you been? Why weren't you online? Why didn't you like my status? Where will you be tomorrow?? What will you be doing? Will you be thinking of me???"  You get the point.  The secret is to act like you want them more than they want you. Lots of people don't like it if there is no "chase".

If that doesn't work ask them if you can move in with them.  No, you don't have money, you can't work and you have a few issues that need immediate doctor's attention but you will be fine in a few treatments of antibiotics.  If that doesn't work then you really have found yourself a true freak.
