Gawd, she cant be just reading out Lydia's messages on stream like that :(

[@xorinzor]

I'm glad I didn't take a sip of my drink when I read this.

[@RazorCake]

"Maybe even lovers if the attraction is mutual" had me rolling. It's always the same with these types of DMs. They always start out all friendly, and assuming that just asking nicely will get them exactly what they want. Once that doesn't work they reveal their true selves and start the name calling in all caps.

[@TheDarthChief]

The full "nice Guy" gambit.

[@Antalion20]

That went from normal to pathetic to weird to WTF so quickly I got whiplash.

[@GraceSerenityK]

Welcome to the internet!

[@AbsoluteTravisT]

That second delay when Ose heard lovers and was like ... did I hear that right??

[@MrDevintcoleman]

Isn’t that always how it goes with people like that? The act falls away so quickly when they don’t get what they want.

[@Sem5626]

yeah they're the ones that inevitably start hating women and can get pretty scary... they always end up blaming the world why no women likes them

[@corpsecatt]

Honestly bouphe handled that perfectly.

[@elliottbolton78]

As a dude, I always feel like it would be so fun to mess with these creeps, but I bet being on the recieving end is actually pretty fucking scary and messing with them just wouldn't even be worth the risk

[@JackPorter]

yeah, it's fun to mess with normal people and piss them off, never piss off a highly clingy mentally unstable person. these DMs are like life and death situations

[@weezact7]

I have often considered making a fake female profile on like a dating app for this exact reason. Fuck these kinds of people.

[@DarkRulaMedia]

Seriously. It's funny how they even try. "I don't know this person, but let me reveal all my feelings of undying love to them. That won't scare them off at all." Gotta give 'em a bit of credit for making it seem completely innocent, but they just couldn't resist showing their true intentions right at the end.

[@bonafidemonafide7810]

Pretty sure it's a copypasta or a meme. These sorts of messages are common memes on twitch.

[@Ryuouken]

Be fucking honest and tell me most viewers of these ppl are not absolute degenerate simps. The only reason Twitch is a viable career is because of the ppl who write such dms

[@Pistolsatsean]

[@weezact7]

I get that some people are bad at socializing or expressing interest in people. If they just sent a weird "I love you" message and left it at that, Id be like "yeah, they're clueless, but it's kind of sad that they're pining after someone they never will meet." I sent think there's anything wrong with developing crushes on celebrities or internet personalities. But when you veer off into threats and insults, like...what? What's wrong with you?

[@tyjay6752]

I thought "Oh I bet this is going to be gross and horrible", and, well

[@SparksNZeros]

the sims buy menu music really sells this, like a modern poetry reading xD

[@psychosissafari]

the 'nice guy' routine is so formulaic it's unreal. Almost seems as if they copy each other nearly word for word, even with a proven 0% success rate. Or maybe the opportunity to play the (deluded) dark & moody spurned outsider is the actual goal

[@AFunkyHypnoCat]

dam he was close, if he'd only gone it a bit harder at the end she was hook lined and sinkered

[@FixtaFernback]

God that was painful to listen to, but Osie's reaction to the final message was great lol

[@TheTartanTaylor]

It honestly blows my mind that there are people that think speaking to someone like that is appropriate.

[@raymondc9513]

They are known as incels. They need help understanding that there's more to life than desperately wanting a girlfriend. Hope they phase out of that behavior.

[@j-henry7391]

I sent a weird fan message like a year ago, I was going through a "sincere" phase, it never got as weird as this guy's message, and thankfully I never expected an answer, but it was still pretty awkward in my opinion, word of advice if you're in a weird place in life it's probably best not to send fan mail, especially to a member of the opposite sex because it'll probably come off weird and make them uncomfortable and you don't want to contribute to that

[@Fabianwew]

It's best not to send fan mail ever.

[@nauriironfoot2444]

The problem is, most people who aren't thinking clearly don't realize it lol

[@edholmes8726]

Well that’s a quite the trilogy!

[@Betuor]

I thought the punchline was going to be it was somebody from the Yogs.

[@Rymontp]

I knew in which direction this would be going but that escalated quickly

[@DamnCyrus]

I was like ok, it's some kid and they don't know any better. Then it kept going and I felt a part of my hope in humanity die.

[@Samouraii]

Do you think he's listened to Stan by Eminem?

[@baronbob962]

I thought it was gonna be a Stan joke to start with....

[@RandomUser11170]

Uhhhhh, okay... People can be weird, to say the least. Nice that Bouphe's able to have a sense of humor about it, though, I guess

[@RandomUser11170]

@SteelRodent Yeah... Sadly

[@benjesterw]

I know they gotta have some problems, but what world are these guys living in thatmakes them think this will work? Even if I think a streamer is fit, I know they wouldn't be interested and really wouldnt like unsolicited messages.

[@MrDevintcoleman]

They’re living in an incel bubble they’ve put themselves in. There’s a genuinely good short story about this kind of thing called Cat Person (the person has cats, it’s not furry stuff) that’s worth a read.

[@Cheesepuff8]

Maybe that kind of weird confidence has worked in a similar way for them before

[@ze_rubenator]

This is the danger of parasocial relationships. They forego real friendships because getting attached to streamers is easier. This goes on long enough and it turns into an obsession, and some vulnerable people can get seriously delusional thinking they have a real connection with their idol. It's easy to make fun of them, but I would rather they got the help they need.

[@Demondicee]

@@MrDevintcoleman ye it is kinda sad a lot people put them selfs in bubbles and as soon as someone or somthing doesn't go along with them or says things they don't agree with they freak out

[@Raida7]

Because it's the responsibility of a stranger on the internet who's more succesful than them to help them be sucessful. and friends. and know your body shape and size. so you can wear their clothing.

Classic internet “nice guy” 🤦‍♂️

[@bha1959]

I don't know what she means, that message totally didn't give off creepy stalker weirdo vibes or anything.

[@TheRexisFern]

Hey Bouphe, you're funny and attractive! Please date and/or love me! Well seeing as how you didn't do that, I'll assume you're just a hateful lady and piss off! Lol, I have to admit, I was kind of that guy years ago. Turns out, people don't like being manipulated by kind words and then demands! Hopefully they grow up and realize that the kindness part is ok, the expectation of anything because of kindness is a little fucked!

[@Chaotic_Monk43]

If they sent just the first one, that's a respectable attempt. Second one, hey worth a try but maybe give it a rest. The third one is in need of a Ron Burgundy meme.

[@Dolthra]

I mean, the first one without the weird lovers and clothes bit, while ballsy as hell, isn't necessarily a bad message. "Hey, I'm a big fan of yours, and I think we would get along. Just letting you know I have my own channel and would love to collab, if you ever felt like it." Isn't going to work 999/1000, but there's that off 1/1000 chance it could.

[@Chaotic_Monk43]

@@Dolthra I admit I forgot about that, I was mainly thinking about the collab bit. Suggesting a relationship in what is essentially a cold call is real weird.

[@Magnum_Dong]

I mean, it's good to try and reach out to make friends, this guy clearly lacks social skills. However, then they go full "nice guy." Almost literally copy and paste.

[@josephtownsend7481]

It's not just a nice person reaching out but suffering from poor social skills. It's a man who has absolutely 0 self awareness, going to a woman and sending her an inapropriate message, not in any actual hope of success but because he gets off reminding a woman thatif she's going to share a public space, she's going to need to be subjected to this kind of fetichization by men. And thats BEFORE the second message.

[@Cheesepuff8]

Also it’s some random stranger sending messages to a streamer like he’s some sort of other popular streamer that has known her for months

[@Magnum_Dong]

@@josephtownsend7481 The phrase "nice guy" means exactly what you're saying. It's people who say "women always go for the scumbag men and ignore the nice guys like me." They then give weird, creepy attempts to get laid quick and become super aggressive when it doesn't go perfectly for them.

[@Magnum_Dong]

@@Cheesepuff8 Yeah, parasocial relationships can totally be a hard thing to keep in mind as an audience member trying to engage with a content creator, but this guy straight up lies because he's desperate for a woman's affection.

[@xorinzor]

Wow.. people really are delusional huh?

[@internetonsetadd]

You miss 100% of the shots you take when they're this creepy. Don't be unrealistic, desperate, and creepy.

I have to wonder how long between the messages, because it's very different if it was 2 days to if it was 2 months.
