Shudder.
In the internet age, it’s hard to imagine why someone would go to the trouble of typing and printing out a note, and then sticking it all over town with black duct tape.
Maybe this is part of the reason one “good guy”‘s note to the women of the world is coming across a little creepy… but on second thoughts, it’s probably just the note itself.
Twitter user Matt Pop Collins posted a snap of a note which has been circulated “all over town”.
It reads:
“OK Ladies, I get it.
You don’t want a pleasant evening chat.
You don’t want a gentleman to walk you to your car.
You don’t want a friendly dude to help you carry your groceries… or hold open the door… or crush the life out of other men that would do you harm.
Fine – fear the good guys… I guess we’ll have to just suffer through watching you get broken over and over by the scum you think you love.
But I want you to know – it’s not easy and it hurts to see you fall.
Give the good guys a chance to help you be less afraid of the world.”
A 100% non serial killer thing to do is just print this up and put it up all over town with black duct tape pic.twitter.com/jlFV7Yaeoc

The tweet quickly went viral, receiving over 11,000 retweets and 12,000 likes, and of course – plenty of witty responses.
@mitchberghini I have a special hatred for those who call themselves “nice guys” & then turn around & shit on women. pic.twitter.com/nBiIl6ZF3E

@mitchberghini serious- any guy who tells me “I’m a nice guy” makes me run faster than a doped Olympic track athlete

@AgentAnnK @mitchberghini “crush the life out of other men”, yup. Nothing concerning about those sentiments.

It’s not the first time the image has done the rounds online, with a tumblr account posting a snap of the note, and a reply to the note back in January.
Hmm, we suggest this good guy revisits his approach…
