Women of Reddit. How do you respond when a guy called you weird?

26 comments

1. Context dependent. My brother called me weird the other day for eating Cheetos out of the bag with chopsticks. By the end of his visit I had him converted to my clean-finger ways.

2. I tie them up during sex poop on their chest and leave right after.

3. I usually just say,”yea, I’ve been told a time or two” or “good I don’t want to be normal”

4. I mean i really am… so…..🤷‍♀️

5. Well in middle school, I cried and told my mom. 8 years later, we live together and are in a 4 year relationship. Sometimes he brings it up and says “I’m sorry I called you weird in grade school”.

7. Smiled cheerfully and said “thanks!” Years ago now, but I prefer to think it’s a compliment, no matter what they may mean by it

8. Thanks! 😁

9. I say thank you! Better than boring

10. Thank you.

11. Smile and say thanks.

12. A dry, ‘”And?” or just stare at them. Usually shuts them up because they couldn’t elicit the reaction they were looking for. I’ll stone-face their ass into silence on the regular.

14. *exaggerated hair flip whilst basking in my own glory*

    Or

    *smug and unapologetic shoulder shrug*

15. “Thanks :)”

16. [removed]

17. “Thank you” or “yeah i know”

18. “You’re weird.”

    “Yes, and?”

19. Oh I have a good one, I’m a cute petite blonde who had anxiety, decades ago I was partying with some friends and a very famous/weird/goth singer who is recently in a substantial amount of trouble for being a creep. He was asking everyone if they had anything (like drugs I suppose), and I had some prescribed Xanax, the little ones that are white circles, but I kept them in a very small Victorian looking metal container in my purse because I didn’t want to carry a prescription bottle if I felt a panic attack coming on in public. Anyway, he was suuuuppper weirded out by the little box in which I kept them, refused them, and told me I was weird for keeping “drugs” like that and gave me an inquisition about it as if I was trying to give him something else? I’m not sure what triggered him to make ME the weirdo, but wow, I responded by just ignoring him. Note: I have been Xanax free and panic attack free since 2005, aside from one sketchy flight with a lot of turbulence.

20. Yeah, normal is boring.

21. I told him I prefer unique.

22. My partner calls me weird all the time. I’m just like “So are you.” I’m an odd human, so I take it in stride!

23. “Yep.”

24. I prefer different….🙃

25. Congratulate them on stating the obvious.

26. A guy, we’ll call him dice, told me I smelled funny, I (playfully/flirtatiously) whacked him in the arm, he grabbed me and pulled me to him and laughed, I said “if I stink so bad why do you want me so close?” And it ended up with jsut more flirting
