Call Me, Stalk You!
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 others 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?

not normal for me.
I always give my real name, and if i dont want you to have my number. I just don't give it out.
PROBLEM SOLVED
i've done that before, sure. in my defense, the man was about 10 years older than me, drunk off his ass, and german [we were living in germany...] it was awkward. and my friend already said that i was giving him my number and even started it for him. so i just rambled off random ones for the remaining digits. but that was a random incident.
I've never used a fake name but I might have fudged on a couple of the digits on my number before.
Never used a fake name but my number? Hm. If I'm not interested, I'm just not going to give it to you. Simple, eh? But guys giving me their numbers? I don't call. They probably did that with ten other girls. Lol.
I don't give people my number... and I don't accept other people's numbers unless I'm actually interested in calling them.
It solves the problem pretty easily.
I dont understand why people do that kind of stuff expecially older people because all u have to do is say "NO" or "IM NOT INTRESTED" simple as that....problem solved.
I'm not a huge fan of clubbing or going out to bars or anything but, I wouldn't give out my real name and number only because i would be afraid of somebody stalking me or being like overly obsessed. If I felt that a guy was truly honest and a very nice guy i could maybe trust him ( which you really know the ones that you can ) i would probably give out my real name and number =]
I've never used a fake number or name... then again, I don't always go out to bars either. I would never do that though- I would just say I'm not giving you my number.
No clubbing, don't talk to strangers, problem solved!!
if you're going to give out a fake name and fake #s then why not go all the way to put on a fake face/mask a la mission impossible style lol that way nobody will know who you are. Furthermore why go to a club if you're not having fun but you have to 'pretend' you're someone else? If women fear for their safety just don't go to clubs all together. If a stalker really wanted to hunt you down it doesn't matter if you give them a fake name/# they will follow you around even when you leave the club.
When I used to go out. If I got someone that was not very good at picking up non-verbals, and wouldn't take that I wasn't interested as an answer. Then I would give them a fake name and number just to get rid of them.
i always give my real name and real number and if he's interested then he calls, if not, it doesn't hurt me. i just don't ever want to run into that person and be embarrassed later when he finds out that i lied to him.
They could be doing it because in general, when a guy asks for their number or gives them theirs, it strokes their ego.
I don't think that kind of thing is cool though, so to each their own.
hahah, i liked the disclaimer more then the post.
I never gave my real name and my real number either. I just simple tell them, "thanks but I'm not interested!" pretty easy.
That is so F*ing ridiculous!!! Seriously, if you don't want someone to have your name or number just say you are not interested and don't give it out. Pretty simple? Yeah.
That's what I used to do. I never gave out my last name, but if I was interested I would give out my cell # only, and my first name. If I wasn't...I didn't.
WTF is wrong with people? I'm sorry, but I think it's kind of trashy, and these are the same girls that will complain when a guy takes their number but doesn't call them. I think it is time to grow up before dating further.
It's normal.
I personally say no and just walk away. But...
Some guys won't leave you alone until they have something. Whether it be your "number" or you take their number. It can be pretty annoying.
totally normal. i've done it and it's fine. when i used to go out to clubs with my close girl friends, we got dolled up to go out and have a good time. that doesn't include getting picked up by guys we meet at clubs. that's not the kind of place i'd want to pick up a possible "date" in a long-term anyways, eh?
ive given fake names before but when they ask for my number, i just don't give them anything. and some guys will be persistent, that's probably when i give them my old pager number. lol.In my opinion, if the guy was really interested in your girl friends, they'd make the effort to call, instead of asking the girls to do so.
I'll give real name...my first name is pretty typical...hard to stalk me :P
