First you say they could have told you to piss off and then that you never asked for a number. What is it exactly that you want, random guys walking up to you saying "piss-off I won't give you my phone number"? The only good reason for giving a fake phone number is the same reason women also do it: someone you have no interest in insists that you give them your phone number so you give a fake one to be left alone.

I have never given my number out but if I do (maybe when I do) I sure wont be giving a fake one - What a waste of time!!! If you dont want to then say no and dont lead on. I guess you do get fakes on here also though!

I did that once back in 6th grade, so I guess the answer to the question is there must be guys out there now as mature as I was in 6th grade.

can't say i have unless it was a mistake due to excessive drinking :S
but i know of some people who have and the reason they gave was that although they could have just told the girl they were not interested, i suppose could be the same reason girls give out false numbers. they don't want to seem rude in person and possibly have to deal with the reaction of someone being rejected...IT DOES HAPPEN! and it can ruin a night.

hmmm i dunno maybe i just don't know what i'm talking about

SOme people do not like confrontation and some people can become confrontational when you tell them you will not give them your number. Women have been doing this for years. Why shouldn't a man?>

If it was the case you were asking for numbers and they were sending fake numbers, maybe it could be them looking for the easy way out.

But you say you don't ask for the numbers. They just give them to you.

If you are a BBW, this is just cruelty. Some sick people get their jollies from being cruel. You wouldn't want to date them anyway. (My apologies on behalf of men for the pathetic behaviour.)

Now, back in my bar hopping days, some of the women in our group used to give guys numbers of police precincts. So I have seen this before. But this was always after they were asked. So cruel, but not "going totally out of their way to be cruel".

After we email a 3-4 times, I ask about going for coffee, and I usually offer to send the girl my phone number so she can put on caller ID blocking and phone me. It lets them feel more secure. Sometimes they do that, but more often they just send me their phone number. (I guess I look pretty harmless.)

Remember, it is a filtering process. Maybe 1% of the profiles belong to people you'd like to date more than once. We all have to go through a lot of filtering to find that one match.

Anyone with any sense knows that being "confrontational" is not going to make anyone want to date you. So no one in their right mind is going to do that. You dont have anything to worry about, so just do it. Ditto for telling someone that you aren't interested in them or why you dont want to call them back or don't want a second date. Get some b@lls.

I am soooooooooooooo confused! OP says these are unsolicited offers of fake numbers. The only reason I can think of that anyone would do that is, as another poster commented, they were simply too drunk to remember their own phone number.
