  • Girls giving out fake names and phone numbers

    A friend of mine was telling me about her weekend last Sunday, about how she got so many phone numbers from guys, and how she threw them all away….wait, what?

    I understand her getting all dressed up and going out to clubs and bars almost every weekend with her girlfriends to have a good time but what I don’t understand is that they all throw away the numbers that they get! As we got further into the conversation I learned that on a rare occasion when one of them finds a really nice guy the girl will actually give her real name and number to the guy. So it turns out they not only not call back the guys but they also give fake names AND numbers.

    I am not into the party scene anymore, as I have a wonderful girlfriend, but when I went I usually gave my real name and my real number.  Maybe it is different for men or maybe just the location I was at.

    Do women do this more because they have so many more options available to them? Do men normally give out their real information because they are their truly seeking out women, not just to have a good time with their buddies? All this was new information to me, I just hope they can remember their "names and numbers" towards the end of the night with all those drinks they throw back.

    From what I can gather from my conversation with her is that anything pretty much goes while they are at the bar/club. But they all look out for each other, as well as not compromising each other's aliases, and making sure they each get home safely. 

    So ladies tell me is this normal? And guys do you ever do this or have you ever fallen victim to this?

    we usually give out fake names and numbers if we think you're unattractive and dont have any motivation to ever see you again...like....you got a fake name and number then she prob thought you were ugly or annoying or just not feeling it. Its a nice way of rejecting the guy. So at that moment you dont feel bad about saying oh no i dont want to give you my number, its giving the guy that false pretense that he scored.....but not really. Cause of course later when he tries to call it doesnt work. blower.


    But I have never done this cause most guys that I talk to or come up to me are attractive guys that I enjoyed talking to....and it really never has popped into my head to give a fake number out. Im also not shy about saying 'uh no I dont wanna give you my number...'


    yeah im a bitch.

  • rhea@lovelyish

    Almost always I will give out a fake number. My reason: I'm not looking or the guy seemed like a creep.

  • lovechartreuse@xanga

    Uh women do this so they don't get stalked. I thought that was obvious...

  • btownfutbol10@xanga

    @kieri126@xanga - you make the guy believe he scored with a fake number??? But when he later calls it only to find out it's fake; imagine what that does to one's self-esteem...

    i would just reject the guy instead of wasting time with that

  • JessxMaxine@xanga

    @yourblondeness@xanga - i'm going to have to agree with this.


    why give the guy false hope and be crushed when he calls and the number is a fake?

    I went out once and I actually got the Rejection Hotline number from some chick which is a real low blow. Definately did not go out for a while after that.

  • Purrty_Pink@xanga

    i give out fake names b/c sometimes guys cant take no for an answer but if they think the got wat they wanted, they will leave me alone and i could have a goood time. i got caught once though =/ i didn't remember the guy's face so i forgot i had already given him a name the week before so i gave him another one and then when he called me on it I was like what are you talking about? i have never met you. this is my name. are you sure? i really don't remember this, i think you're making this up... and i left it at that :)

  • ReticentResolve@xanga

    I gave out my number once and the boy called me (and his friend called my friend) literally 8 times a night for at least 4 months. Hah. We weren't into that... We got friends who are more outspoken to ask them kindly to stop calling us, they didn't, then we got boys to say they were our "boyfriends" and they still didn't stop calling. Eventually, they called less, and less, and then none at all. I'm glad I'm past that!

    I think experiences like that make girls give fake numbers to potential creepers.

    Also, I know a lot of cute girls looking for steady relationships. They give out fake numbers because they are suspicious of the boys' intentions and feel the blow is "well deserved."

    I don't know about all that.
    I don't give out fake numbers, I can't reject people to their faces either. I feel bad and its awkward. So, I basically stopped going out like that, and developed a "friends first" then relationship - motto.

  • Purrty_Pink@xanga

    @testerdre89@xanga - i always wanted to give that out but i never had the heart to... it was too mean... even for me. (i can be pretty mean according to some people)

  • Ashke_x3@xanga

    I think its mean unless the person is a total creeper.

  • Ashke_x3@xanga

    @testerdre89@xanga - Im sorry. that is a low blow. what a b*tch.

  • Duke6932@xanga

    I always thought women did that simply because they're at the bar/club for a specific reason- to have a good time. Really what's more funny than giving out a fake name and number to a guy who just wants to get to know you and he actually falls for it!? Of course there's a few guys out there who are creeps but it's not like that's all you'll encounter. It's as if women act like there's no such thing as a real nice guy and it's just something in fairy tales. Or the guy could just be extremely wasted and not give a fuck about what happens and he's more focused on having gun.

  • Duke6932@xanga

    @btownfutbol10@xanga - Very true, women can be so fucked up sometimes.

  • KasumiCelesta@xanga

    I don't go out partying much, but when I do I don't give anything out. Why lie and give a fake number? It's easier to just say no, no matter how persistent they are. That way the guy won't get pissed when he calls and gets a different person.

    Just tell us no or you're not interested or let us know. We can handle rejection, it's the "being led on" part that we hate. It stings emotionally and when you lead us on with fake numbers, you're straight up wasting our time. If you're going to pretend like you're interested and then fuck with someone's head like that, then save us some time and let us know, so we can stop wasting effort on someone who isn't going to reciprocate.

    I hate clubbing and since I have a girlfriend I have no need to go looking for numbers when I go to the bars with the boys, but I would much rather be shot down meanly to my face than be led on sweetly and then gut-punched the next morning by a fake phone number.

  • theresalwaysbetter@xanga

    I'd rather a girl tell me no then to give me a fake number and play me like that. That would piss me off, I don't care if a girl isn't into me, it doesn't make a difference, plenty more out there and if you don't like me tell me so we both can get on with our own life's.

  • dictionary____dreams@xanga

    i don't party enough to do that.


    :D

  • colormethespian@xanga

    Ha - I usually tell the guy that I don't have a phone and them give them a wink. They usually take the hint from there - and honestly, if they continue to pursue the issue, then I'll usually give them my real number. I just don't want my phone contacts clogged by half of the bar/party scene population. If it's a creeper though...that's a different story. I wouldn't even try the fake number - I'd just be blunt about it.

  • RazorBladeParade@xanga

    It just seems to me if you don't want someone to have your number, that you shouldn't give it out. Why waste someone's time with a fake number, and YOUR time making one?

    @btownfutbol10@xanga - Agreed.

    simple.
