Dating in the modern world is already an absolute minefield for women. You have to worry about ghosting, catfishing, and guys who refuse to go to therapy. But sometimes, a story drops on the internet that reminds us exactly why so many women would rather run into a literal bear in the woods than a strange man. One nineteen-year-old guy on Reddit recently shared his strategy for getting to know a woman on a hiking trip, and his unhinged behavior has the entire internet screaming for her to get a restraining order.
The Original Poster is a nineteen-year-old guy who works a fully remote job in the tech industry. He admits that he rarely has a reason to go outside. In a move that absolutely screams tech bro, he actually recorded data on his personal life and scientifically concluded that his social life was lacking. Based on this spreadsheet logic, he decided to pursue physical hobbies so he could finally befriend people his own age and meet women.
He ended up joining a local group of physically active young adults. Almost instantly, he locked his sights on a twenty-two-year-old woman named Amira. The way he describes this poor woman in his post is genuinely skin crawling. Instead of mentioning her personality or her career, he immediately focuses on her waist size and perfectly round body parts. He even notes that her childish sense of humor was something he was willing to overlook because he was so fascinated by her physical appearance.
The entire nightmare scenario kicked off on a Saturday morning when six members of the group went hiking together. They decided to make things fun by holding a mini competition. The group split off into pairs, picked three different routes, and agreed that whoever completed the trail first would be crowned the ultimate winner. Because the Original Poster had intensely studied the area the night before, he knew the route perfectly. Amira was completely unfamiliar with the trail, so he quickly volunteered to be her trusty guide.
As soon as they embarked on their journey into the isolated wilderness, this guy made a deeply terrifying executive decision. He decided that this was the perfect opportunity to trap her in a conversation. He purposely chose a massive, complex detour to ensure they would be forced to spend hours alone together. He completely hijacked her day and took her off the designated path without her consent.
At first, they made decent conversation. But as the hours dragged on, Amira understandably grew incredibly frustrated. She kept checking her physical map and correctly insisting that they were going the wrong way. Instead of admitting his bizarre scheme, the Original Poster looked this terrified woman in the eye and gaslit her. He blatantly lied, telling her the physical maps were simply inaccurate and did not account for path closures. He literally kept her walking through the woods until she became so stressed that she had to relieve herself behind a tree.
It took them a staggering six hours to navigate a trail that was only supposed to take three hours. As they finally started making their way back to civilization, Amira managed to get a cell signal. She communicated with the rest of the group and quickly realized exactly what had happened. She rightfully turned to the Original Poster and accused him of taking unnecessary detours just to keep her trapped.
Confronted with his own creepy behavior, a normal person would apologize profusely. This guy went the opposite route. He looked at the angry woman he just held hostage in the forest and started pointing out her desirable physical features. He literally thought that explaining the biological impact her body had on him would somehow make her forgive him. Amira firmly told him to stop describing her body and made it crystal clear that she did not want to hear a single word about his biological responses.
She rightfully gave him the silent treatment for the remainder of their miserable journey. The fallout was incredibly swift and absolutely deserved. The hiking group immediately kicked him out of their club. Every single person in the group labeled him with several unsavory titles, and Amira explicitly called him a selfish, weird a**hole. She also demanded that he stay far away from her forever.
The absolute wildest part of this entire saga is the Original Poster’s complete lack of self-awareness at the end of his post. Despite being universally banished and told to stay away, he genuinely suspects that Amira is just experiencing temporary feelings born out of confusion. He truly believes she will eventually come to her senses and appreciate his romantic woodland kidnapping.
The internet wasted absolutely no time dragging this guy through the mud. You do not trick a woman into wandering the woods for six hours and then expect her to swoon when you compliment her chest. This is predatory behavior masked as awkward flirting, and the entire hiking group was completely right to banish him permanently.
