I suppose I could crush his immortal soul underneath my steel-toes. I need the new Teen Titans, man.
See, I like Shrift's method of dealing.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Shrift, explain to him that you have really strict standards for your menfolk, and that you just don't think that he would look that good in eyeliner and glitter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm thinking a facial scar and replying "got in a knife fight" to any questions about same could be a fun way to discourage his attentions.
You want to be careful with this. The alternative effect (at least in my life), is inciting a fetish-level lust for Amazon types.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Perhaps "Got in a knife fight with a creepy stalker. I won. You're next?" would be more effective, then?

In my life, that gets beta dog presentation of belly for domination or being followed around FOREVER being challenged to duel after duel.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
If you want to be grossed out, you can see what it looks like at [link] , but don't say I didn't warn you.
Ew.
Does it hurt? If you have decent insurance, go see a Dr, at least to get pain meds. If not, then, yeah, probably just pad it real well and tape it to the next toe - maybe rent some crutches to be safe. Or a wheelchair. Wheelchairs are fun.

One of my favorite things to do is to go up to a pretty woman and tell her that she's pretty, and then walk away. It either freaks them out or pumps up their ego - either way is OK by me, particularly if I never see them again. I also like to ask vague acquaintances if they're happy, and then be genuinely interested in the response.

Huh. When I was younger, I had no inhibitions whatsoever about randomly complimenting a woman or even asking a woman out, on the spot. Even worked a few times. However, as I've gotten older and married, I'm more concerned about being creepy or, worse, sending the wrong signal.

This would bother me. Can't pinpoint why.
As for people telling me I'm pretty and leaving -- that's the way I like it. In fact, if people I know tell me I'm pretty, they should walk away, because I never know what to say.
