Women are taught to be nice and pleasant and avoid offending people. After a decade or so of conditioning to be agreeable and friendly, it's hard to say no to someone who asks for a phone number even if you don't really want to give it out. Some women get around that by giving fake numbers.
It isn't the most polite thing in the world, but I'd wager that almost every woman who's been asked for her number has done it at some point. It's just so much easier than hearing half an hour of "Ohh, come on, I'm not a creep, just give me your numberrr," which is the usual response when a woman is reluctant to share her number.
Faced with people who bug the shit out of us for a number even after we say no (not that you're one of them), we quickly learn to be "girls like that" and give fake digits.
That may kind of suck for you, but it means that it probably isn't anything you're doing wrong.
Totally agree! I'm 'that type of girl'. I'm terrified when people ask for my number so I try to be as polite as possible, I'm scared rejecting them might make them aggressive, so I say 'sure' and give them a fake number.
Is it normal that girls always give me the wrong number?
