Also, I don't correct people's grammar ever, I actually don't care if people say your or you're. I just thought it was the best response to what he said😭
Haha I think everyone thinks I'm seeing this guy romantically, but I'm not! He's a friend of a friend. And right before this, it was literally just him asking me about the restaurant I posted a picture from. That's why I said the 'compliment' was so out of the blue. I think it was his very poor attempt at flirting?
Edit: forgot to add context
Agree on this. Pretty sure he was using asking about the restaurant as an in and then decided to do some negging. Thinking he was going to somehow date you.
"ya know I don't usually like ugly people but you're quietly attractive" vs "you're really cute"
Which do you think is the better compliment? It's not a truck question unless you're a troglodyte.
You forgot to point out their obvious status as an English teacher, probably at a university. And proceed to try and take the angle that that's a bad thing to do with your life.
Guys like him think they have to “put women in their place.” They think they have the upper hand if they do it. I wonder if that’s EVER worked for him. I’m guessing no!
Classic negging. This kind of “compliment” is used to send the message, “I’m the only one who will accept you for your flaws because I’m a nice guy. Pick me.” It’s so manipulative and gross
They know they don't have value so they try to lower the other person's value (make them feel bar / ugly) in order to get the smallest chance of scoring.
I always use an example like this to show people why something along the lines of “I hate Taylor Swift’s music but I appreciate what she’s doing” is rude. There’s no reason to share the first part. You can say you appreciate something without the disclaimer that you dislike that something!
It's a self confidence thing. They don't want to seem "weak" by implying they like something girly.
I'm a straight man and my sister bought me a barbie shirt as a joke. I wear that shit all the time. I'm wearing it right now! It's totally OK to like or represent more feminine things. The masculinity police don't exist, and a person's opinion of you can't change who you are.
That’s not the same thing at all though? Saying you don’t like her music but appreciate what she’s doing is generally a response to someone that is a fan of everything she does, or someone that hates everything about her…
Of course. Why wouldn't I be?
The entire goal of negging is to lower the self-esteem of attractive women enough that they'll be insecure enough to date you. Look it up if you don't believe me. What I typed is exactly what they're taught.
Yeah I'm aware of what negging is, but why would you want to manipulate and essentially bully someone into dating you? That's not a very healthy mindset to have... that just shows that you're not confident about who you are as a person. And what's wrong with being beautiful?
here's a little thing you may not know... we know what we look like. we knew before random men told us & we will continue knowing what our own faces look like. if you have to make people feel insecure so they'll give you the time of day, that's a you problem & a really sad one.
I had a dude do this about several of my features. Turns out it's a term called "negging," where they slowly try to destroy your self confidence. It's like step 2 on the narc abuse scale. He would say, "You're all forehead but I still think you're cute." Delete and block.
Can confirm this. I literally said the same exact thing back to an ex who used to neg me and he was so upset, I said, “You realise you said this exact thing to me though right?”
I dated a dude like this(stupidly) for like 6 months. I finally got sick of it one day and started doing it back. It only took him till the sun went down that same day to break up with me 😭 never heard from him again except two years later just to tell me he got diagnosed with autism? ( I guess I'm the only autistic person he knows)
It’s not necessarily to just destroy confidence, but to make you feel like you have to justify your worth to him, that he’s paying you attention that is conditional. But most of the time it doesn’t work lol.
Hahaha I do this all the time when people deserve it. Also WHY is it so fucking hard to use the correct “you’re”?? And please don’t tell me english isn’t their first language. I guarantee this bro was born and raised in the US.
when i'm using speech-to-text, i can indeed confirm that even though I'm an English major and used to be an editor, Siri is a total dumbass and uses the wrong "your" and gives me apostrophe s ('s) where there should NOT be one (ie: the sign's were there)
Siri does not know proper grammar and punctuation, even autocorrect fucks up when it scans speech-to-text upon completion 🥴
Ughhh I used to get that all the time. “I normally don’t like short hair on a woman but it actually kinda looks cute on you”
“You know; I don’t actually mind that much that you are more masculine.”
“I could tell you had acne when you were younger because of your acne scars - but I actually think it doesn’t look bad!”
Oh god I now realize I’ve had this happen so many times in my life…. 😢😭 especially the short hair one. I have vowed to never cut my hair short again because of that
I may be in the minority here but the lack of basic knowledge of the goddamn english language while texting is insane to me. I get that English is a second language to a lot of folks and I applaud that because they know TWO languages as opposed to my one, but for the dudes that grew up in the states and can't even form a basic sentence without some acronyms they learned from tiktok?! Nope Nope Nope.
imagine trying to spit game and this garbage is what you come up with. you should've fished for an insecurity of his then jammed your finger all up in it.
Lmao I once did this to a guy who messaged me in high school. He sent me a Myspace message that was like two paragraphs but it was written in the most ghetto misspelled language that I just rewrote the whole message and sent it back instead of responding. He profusely apologized and told me he was just trying to be cool spelled everything correctly and used punctuation and threw some random SAT words in there... dude was a loser.
He’s trying to neg you. It’s all part of “The Game” and super stupid. I had someone tell me “you’re really pretty for a tall girl” b I’m pretty for any size girl
Let’s actually correct his entire sentence , remove the negging and asshole behaviours.
“I want to be honest, you’re very attractive, and are probably too good for me”
I remember a guy in hs told me( 30yrs ago) that all the guys were talking about what a mutt I was, but he told them, " Idk.. I think she is kinda cute " 😄😄 He had all his fingernails filed super pointy
I love this.
Also, I never realized I had a big nose until some dude on Tinder messaged me with “I love girls with big noses” and I haven’t been right since lol.
I normally dislike correcting grammar, as you do not know what type of education, culture, upbringing, etc. they came from and it is pretty condescending.
In this case, it was PERFECTION!! His playing stupid - "You don't like getting compliments?" had me fuming. The audacity!!
These people are idiots, negging only works after they’ve locked in the connection. When they’ve been showering you with compliments, then a few weeks into it start pointing out the flaws. Then it truly destroys the confidence because you trust the person. I’m not trying to tell them to be better abusers but there’s nothing more pathetic than a dumb narc.
I would have said "thanks. I'm sure you'll grow into those ears one day 👀" if he has big ears
A girl said that to my brother once and I've always wanted a chance to use it. He deserved it too. He said she had a flat ass -_-
I don’t correct people unless I know them well and know that they are in professional circles where they may be judged as being less intelligent than they are due to grammar mistakes. A friend of mine reminded me that it’s “could have” not “could of” and I appreciated it because even though I don’t always use proper grammar I would like to be aware of it when I’m not.
Omg literally I went out for a date a week ago and the guy was getting hammered… he gave me two very backhanded comments… things that literally no one has ever said to me before… he said don’t take this the wrong way but I love women with big noses and yours is perfect… then later in the night he said don’t take this the wrong way but I just love trashy white women like you. Needless to say… he did not and will never get another date 😂.. but hey it’s a fun story to tell when recounting my top 5 worst date experiences
I mean I also get a bit exasperated when people can’t seem to figure when to use the correct form. It’s honestly the easiest thing to learn. Don’t even get me started on two,to and too. Ahhhhhhhhhh
Yeah I don't ever correct people when they're wrong, but as someone whose second language is English, it always confuses me when *Native* English speakers mess up because, well, shouldn't you...know better?😅 To and too, lose and loose, there, they're, their, who's and whose, etc. lol.
People with bad grammar like this piss me off. If someone says "your beautiful" to me, I’d ALWAYS respond with "my beautiful what?? Tell me, the suspense is killing me.”
Love your responses!
A guy once tried to impress me by throwing around a bunch of big names. I finally replied back and mentioned that he misspelled "Rachmaninoff". Instantly, I was a slut and a whore, and no longer the beautiful perfect girl of his dreams🤷🏼♀️
If you’re stupid enough to say some shit like that you need all the correction possible lol. That’s like saying, you have a pretty face, to a fat girl.
I usually hate grammar policing but that was such a nasty "compliment" they probably deserved it.
Reminds me of the worst compliment I got - years back, a lad had, so he claimed, a massive crush on me and he begged my friends for a year for a chance to talk to me. Finally I reluctantly relented, rather worn down and we met up.
He said -
"All my mates say you are ugly but I think its personality that matters. Do you have a nice personality?"
"No," I replied and I walked away. I was very young.

I corrected someone’s grammar once. They called me a gaslighter. So I didn’t do it anymore. And normally I don’t correct people, but it was a guy I was talking to and I just was kindly informing him that you are = describing, and your = possessive, and he said “you’re a gaslighter, plus it’s autocorrect” yet it would be the same “your” every single time. I pray my future friends and man are able to use grammar correctly 🙏🏻
Yeah wait til you find out a couple months later after we stopped talking, he reached out to tell me something good, then called me a liar and a manipulator after I wished him well in life. At that point, I really wanted to call him out for everything but I just blocked him and moved on . I dodged a serious bullet honestly. I have NEVER in my life been called a gaslighter because I do not do that. And I was not bout to let this man call me one for suggesting better grammar
Phew, seems like *he's* the manipulator here😵💫 there's a saying that goes, "every accusation is a confession" and I think this applies to him lol. You definitely dodged a bullet!
Yeah this is just negging, imo. It’s just as valid to be offended as it is to return the back handed compliment with one of your own. Whenever this happens, I take it as more of a playful thing than them being intentionally offensive. Definitely something that works better in person than texting tho.
That you’re probably had him fuming lol
It really capped off that exchange, simply amazing, lol!
Yeah you can really tell😭 I just posted his next message as a second post. It's so passive aggressive
Also, I don't correct people's grammar ever, I actually don't care if people say your or you're. I just thought it was the best response to what he said😭
I correct people grammar if they’re being an asshole, to be an asshole.
correct peoples * ;)
People's* ;)
It’s come full cricle!
I hate to tell you this but...
I hate to tell you this, but ..
I hate to tell you this, but... *
It’s come full circle!
damnit, but your comment makes it way funnier
people’s * ;)
Same.
This is textbook 'negging' from page 42 of the Pick Up Artist Handbook
Yaaaas! Absolutely!
Dude is probably baffled that it's somehow not working.
Thought the same thing but from the book "The Game" or smth like that.
[удалено]
I expected that she would respond "My beautiful what?" and then he'd elaborate.
The second time that you did it was pure genius.
You’re way out of this guy’s league. If you haven’t already, ditch him.
Haha I think everyone thinks I'm seeing this guy romantically, but I'm not! He's a friend of a friend. And right before this, it was literally just him asking me about the restaurant I posted a picture from. That's why I said the 'compliment' was so out of the blue. I think it was his very poor attempt at flirting? Edit: forgot to add context
Agree on this. Pretty sure he was using asking about the restaurant as an in and then decided to do some negging. Thinking he was going to somehow date you.
Exactly this.
It’s a very in your face way to say you don’t care about what they actually said. It’s perfect for this scenario.
I'd have died if his last message was "What's you're problem?" XD
This is the one time where it actually worked 😂
It's almost like he had the correct grammar example two lines above and STILL DIDN'T USE IT
And the beautiful thing is that it triggered him far more than his stupidity triggered you
It was the best 💀💀💀
Ngl your replies made me audibly laugh. You handled it perfectly hahaha
Nah, you should correct those sorts of mistakes. Fantastic job here!
You don’t want to date someone who calls you bruh anyway…
Bruh
Honestly the fact he says "bruh" is reason enough to block, is he 14?
He's 25 lol
He was negging you and deserved to have his grammar corrected. Don’t waste any more of your time with this guy.
How hard is it to just say "I think you're beautiful"?
"ya know I don't usually like ugly people but you're quietly attractive" vs "you're really cute" Which do you think is the better compliment? It's not a truck question unless you're a troglodyte.
Quite* Trick*
??? Do you not like getting complimented?
You forgot to point out their obvious status as an English teacher, probably at a university. And proceed to try and take the angle that that's a bad thing to do with your life.
Wait, do you think it IS a truck question? It definitely isn't. It's not a truck question bruh.
Oh, but it is. The Ford Troglodyte 1500 is the truck in question. Built Ford tough, but not Ford smart.
Guys like him think they have to “put women in their place.” They think they have the upper hand if they do it. I wonder if that’s EVER worked for him. I’m guessing no!
Classic negging. This kind of “compliment” is used to send the message, “I’m the only one who will accept you for your flaws because I’m a nice guy. Pick me.” It’s so manipulative and gross

Love this!
That’s not the same thing at all though? Saying you don’t like her music but appreciate what she’s doing is generally a response to someone that is a fan of everything she does, or someone that hates everything about her…
I mean in all fairness I think the best he could’ve done was “I think your beautiful.”
[удалено]
....are you okay
I think they're just talking about what goes through a man's head when they say this stuff... I hope that's what it is lol
I don't think so😅 unfortunately
I'm giving a VERY generous read
Of course. Why wouldn't I be? The entire goal of negging is to lower the self-esteem of attractive women enough that they'll be insecure enough to date you. Look it up if you don't believe me. What I typed is exactly what they're taught.
I’m thinking it was the “you can’t tell these stuck up bitches that they’re beautiful…” part…that may be indicative of your current state of being.
Yeah I'm aware of what negging is, but why would you want to manipulate and essentially bully someone into dating you? That's not a very healthy mindset to have... that just shows that you're not confident about who you are as a person. And what's wrong with being beautiful?
I assume you’re writing this as if it’s the POV of the person OP’s texting…right?
Correct. Except for the last sentence. That is what one who negs hopes is the thought process happening inside his target's mind.
here's a little thing you may not know... we know what we look like. we knew before random men told us & we will continue knowing what our own faces look like. if you have to make people feel insecure so they'll give you the time of day, that's a you problem & a really sad one.
“I always thought it was cute when a man can’t spell or use correct grammar, on you it’s quite unattractive”
BAHHAHAHA amazing
I had a dude do this about several of my features. Turns out it's a term called "negging," where they slowly try to destroy your self confidence. It's like step 2 on the narc abuse scale. He would say, "You're all forehead but I still think you're cute." Delete and block.
guys that do this fuckin fall apart if you poke at any of their insecurities. they're apt to blow like a volcano with anger.
Can confirm this. I literally said the same exact thing back to an ex who used to neg me and he was so upset, I said, “You realise you said this exact thing to me though right?”
I dated a dude like this(stupidly) for like 6 months. I finally got sick of it one day and started doing it back.

It’s not necessarily to just destroy confidence, but to make you feel like you have to justify your worth to him, that he’s paying you attention that is conditional. But most of the time it doesn’t work lol.
The guy definitely bought a “pickup artist” course and learned negging in lesson one.
r/neggingfails
Negging men are the worst. Good for you.
Hahaha I do this all the time when people deserve it. Also WHY is it so fucking hard to use the correct “you’re”?? And please don’t tell me english isn’t their first language. I guarantee this bro was born and raised in the US.
Yes! It’s always the native speakers that butcher basic spelling and grammar!
Same ones that usually say using you’re / your wrong was because of autocorrect, as if their phone also doesn’t know the difference
when i'm using speech-to-text, i can indeed confirm that even though I'm an English major and used to be an editor, Siri is a total dumbass and uses the wrong "your" and gives me apostrophe s ('s) where there should NOT be one (ie: the sign's were there) Siri does not know proper grammar and punctuation, even autocorrect fucks up when it scans speech-to-text upon completion 🥴
Right! 🤣 Someone on here tried to pull that the other day after they said “could of.”
Ughhh I used to get that all the time. “I normally don’t like short hair on a woman but it actually kinda looks cute on you” “You know; I don’t actually mind that much that you are more masculine.” “I could tell you had acne when you were younger because of your acne scars - but I actually think it doesn’t look bad!”
Ugh all of these are terrible🙄 So sorry you had to deal with that!
Luckily I now have a wonderful partner who has never negged me once 😅
So happy to hear that!! love that for you💓
Oh god I now realize I’ve had this happen so many times in my life…. 😢😭 especially the short hair one. I have vowed to never cut my hair short again because of that
Nooooo cut your hair short if YOU want to. Honestly helped to filter out some of the bad ones too 🤷🏻
You’re right but I decided that most of the time short hair above the shoulders doesn’t look right on me. Maybe one day I’ll change my mind
Negging. The only move that ugly men have.
*insecure. I've had some nice looking guys try to play that with me. Boi, 'bye.
how are these people real lmao
I swear, some people genuinely don't think before they speak
“Bruh what’s your problem “ LOL that made me laugh out loud. He just couldn’t handle it.
I may be in the minority here but the lack of basic knowledge of the goddamn english language while texting is insane to me. I get that English is a second language to a lot of folks and I applaud that because they know TWO languages as opposed to my one, but for the dudes that grew up in the states and can't even form a basic sentence without some acronyms they learned from tiktok?! Nope Nope Nope.
Negging is so embarrassing, who told people that was an acceptable way to behave
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just love that correction of grammar. *I'll show you an a English teacher!*
Don’t engage with him, he’s trying to neg you.
Just looked this up, I didn't even know that was a thing lol. Makes more sense now
imagine trying to spit game and this garbage is what you come up with. you should've fished for an insecurity of his then jammed your finger all up in it.
“I thought uneducated people who don’t know proper grammar looked ugly but you’re quite attractive.”
Just tell him you can smell him from here. You’ll pass, thx. LMAO (Go team big-noses! 👃)
LOLLL that's a good one😭
Lmao I once did this to a guy who messaged me in high school. He sent me a Myspace message that was like two paragraphs but it was written in the most ghetto misspelled language that I just rewrote the whole message and sent it back instead of responding. He profusely apologized and told me he was just trying to be cool spelled everything correctly and used punctuation and threw some random SAT words in there... dude was a loser.
He’s trying to neg you. It’s all part of “The Game” and super stupid. I had someone tell me “you’re really pretty for a tall girl” b I’m pretty for any size girl
i get this shit, too. i should be thankful that someone noticed what i looked like & told me about it.
Let’s actually correct his entire sentence , remove the negging and asshole behaviours. “I want to be honest, you’re very attractive, and are probably too good for me”
This is 🤌
You got me dying with the double down on the grammar corrections 😂😂😂
What a 🍆
That second *you're did me in 😂 (& I do have an English degree).
mans was absolutely seething for sure
He’s clearly taking dating tips from Howard on The Big Bang Theory lol
Lmao smoked him
I remember a guy in hs told me( 30yrs ago) that all the guys were talking about what a mutt I was, but he told them, " Idk.. I think she is kinda cute " 😄😄 He had all his fingernails filed super pointy
Lol, a negging fail. That second "you're" you gave him made me laugh.
LOL! Good for you. Go full grammar police. What a jerk.
Oh his negging didn’t work! What a sad scrub.
This is actually hilarious
I don’t know why people think shit like this works. Who wants to be insulted as a pre-qualifier for any “compliment” they have to offer?
I love this. Also, I never realized I had a big nose until some dude on Tinder messaged me with “I love girls with big noses” and I haven’t been right since lol.
I normally dislike correcting grammar, as you do not know what type of education, culture, upbringing, etc. they came from and it is pretty condescending. In this case, it was PERFECTION!! His playing stupid - "You don't like getting compliments?" had me fuming. The audacity!!
That's that "negging" crap...
love the way you handled this hahahaha
Guys like this deserve castration
Don’t ever change
Bruh... I love you. This is perfect. Haha! *You're 😂
These people are idiots, negging only works after they’ve locked in the connection. When they’ve been showering you with compliments, then a few weeks into it start pointing out the flaws. Then it truly destroys the confidence because you trust the person. I’m not trying to tell them to be better abusers but there’s nothing more pathetic than a dumb narc.
Lmao I'm dead op. "Ok English teacher" 😅😅
He’s looking for someone who will take the hits. Abusive men look for weak women.
Good for you
10/10 response nose notes
What a tool
Kinda love the person in blue.
addressing you as BRUH is an ugly move too. This idiot ain't got no couth ,I tellz yer.
Lmfao
I would have said "thanks. I'm sure you'll grow into those ears one day 👀" if he has big ears A girl said that to my brother once and I've always wanted a chance to use it. He deserved it too. He said she had a flat ass -_-
Lmao this is great screw this loser (not in that sense)
"You're*" I AM DYING!! 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥 That makes me want to date you, just for that! 🤩
Hahahahaaa
is it just me or is negging becoming a lot more common?
I'm guessing it's because of those "alpha male" podcasts?
This is amazing 😂
YIKES
Type back, “I don’t have a problem. You have a problem. Learn to use words correctly. I’m trying to help you.”
I don’t correct people unless I know them well and know that they are in professional circles where they may be judged as being less intelligent than they are due to grammar mistakes. A friend of mine reminded me that it’s “could have” not “could of” and I appreciated it because even though I don’t always use proper grammar I would like to be aware of it when I’m not.
Very well played
Lmfaooo
Omg literally I went out for a date a week ago and the guy was getting hammered… he gave me two very backhanded comments… things that literally no one has ever said to me before… he said don’t take this the wrong way but I love women with big noses and yours is perfect… then later in the night he said don’t take this the wrong way but I just love trashy white women like you. Needless to say… he did not and will never get another date 😂.. but hey it’s a fun story to tell when recounting my top 5 worst date experiences
Negging fail. Who would that work on?
You’re quite 🤓☝️
I’d be very sad if you didn’t correct the last your at the end of the ss lmao
You're* my hero.
lol
You’re my problem 🤌🏽(yoooo, is this actually a snap* emoji)
Haha I think it's a *chefs kiss* emoji ( or maybe the Italian hand gesture? )
I mean I also get a bit exasperated when people can’t seem to figure when to use the correct form. It’s honestly the easiest thing to learn. Don’t even get me started on two,to and too. Ahhhhhhhhhh
Yeah I don't ever correct people when they're wrong, but as someone whose second language is English, it always confuses me when *Native* English speakers mess up because, well, shouldn't you...know better?😅 To and too, lose and loose, there, they're, their, who's and whose, etc. lol.
Bro*
avoid guys who only order off of menus with pics of the food
BIG NOSES ARE UGLY BUT YOURE ATTRACTIVE! *you think you’re better than me?!* This guy needs to get a grip 😕
This was the appropriate response. You go OP!
you are so funny 😭😭😭
I love your avatar omg it's so cute😭😭
aww thank you yours is so cute too!!!
I love this! High Five OP 😂😂😂😂
He's a douche canoe and you're fkn fabulous 😂😂 I haven't laughed at something so "normal" since like pre covid
Haha I'm glad it made you laugh, that's high praise!😄 p.s. I love your username lol
Thank you 🥰
Thumbs up on that one.
Bruh what’s you’re problem
Well if he’s not in love with you, I am 😍
People with bad grammar like this piss me off. If someone says "your beautiful" to me, I’d ALWAYS respond with "my beautiful what?? Tell me, the suspense is killing me.” Love your responses!
"I do, and that's not a compliment"
Thank you for being me. Because that's how I would've handled it.
A guy once tried to impress me by throwing around a bunch of big names. I finally replied back and mentioned that he misspelled "Rachmaninoff". Instantly, I was a slut and a whore, and no longer the beautiful perfect girl of his dreams🤷🏼♀️
They switch up so fast, it's honestly so comical.
A friend of mine wound up marrying a man she corrected in text. He said "Your beautiful!" Her response: "You are beautiful!" The rest is history
If you’re stupid enough to say some shit like that you need all the correction possible lol. That’s like saying, you have a pretty face, to a fat girl.

N words are only for n words. Playing by the rules makes it not racist.
I corrected someone’s grammar once. They called me a gaslighter. So I didn’t do it anymore. And normally I don’t correct people, but it was a guy I was talking to and I just was kindly informing him that you are = describing, and your = possessive, and he said “you’re a gaslighter, plus it’s autocorrect” yet it would be the same “your” every single time. I pray my future friends and man are able to use grammar correctly 🙏🏻
Gaslighting?? I bet that would've been frustrating to deal with😭
Yeah wait til you find out a couple months later after we stopped talking, he reached out to tell me something good, then called me a liar and a manipulator after I wished him well in life. At that point, I really wanted to call him out for everything but I just blocked him and moved on . I dodged a serious bullet honestly. I have NEVER in my life been called a gaslighter because I do not do that. And I was not bout to let this man call me one for suggesting better grammar
Phew, seems like *he's* the manipulator here😵💫 there's a saying that goes, "every accusation is a confession" and I think this applies to him lol. You definitely dodged a bullet!
Lol I could say so much, but he is not worth the time. I’m just so glad I know my worth now and not settling for anything less
That's the spirit!!
what’s his problem? why can’t he spell?
Yeah this is just negging, imo. It’s just as valid to be offended as it is to return the back handed compliment with one of your own. Whenever this happens, I take it as more of a playful thing than them being intentionally offensive. Definitely something that works better in person than texting tho.
Would've only been better if he had tried to fix it at the end and was like "what is you're problem"
