12 epic takedowns of men sending unwanted DMs

Women have been dealing with creepy guys since the dawn of time. It's a fact of life, much like 'the sky is blue', or 'catcalling is disgusting'. Before the internet, however, the worst of these encounters were mostly limited to bars and clubs - usually when the creepsters were in drink-throwing/slapping distance. However, with the existence of text messaging and social media, men have been finding more and more ways of hitting on women who really aren't interested. Of course, a simple 'no' sometimes sorts the matter - but often it just isn't enough. We have been forced to find more creative methods in order to shut men down, and here are some of the best:

1. In the war

Why is it always feet with these people?

2. Be original, guy

Funny how they always go from 'Hey :)' to 'bitch' after being told 'no'.

3. You asked for it

'Oo no' indeed.

4. Own it

Sometimes you just have to be blunt with these people.

5. Shut down

As a general rule: if a woman says she's gay, she probably isn't interested.

6. In class

Sometimes it's just funnier to play dumb.

7. Nice Try

He even waited a minute to send the second message. I can't.

8. Next level creepy

Could this guy sound any more like a murderer if he tried?

9. Child support

Ask a stupid question, expect a stupid answer.

10. Simply riddled

If anyone was looking for an easy shut-down, this person seems to have found one.

11. Lol only joking

Sometimes no response is the best response.

12. Nude veggies

Seriously, he was that desperate?

So, modern technology may have given men the ability to creep on women - but it also gave women the means to screenshot those messages and post them on the internet for all to see. It's hardly a compromise, but at least it makes the ordeal a little more entertaining.
