GummiLove Rookie Mischi recently experienced something she wouldn't wish on anyone: she was catfished and sexually harassed on Tinder. In the video, she explains how she managed to escape the situation.
GummiLove Rookie Mischi has been very active on Tinder lately. But then she ended up with the wrong guy: "I wanted to meet up with a guy who was supposedly 22. When he offered to pick me up from Zurich main station, I gratefully accepted his offer. In the end, I thought to myself: why not?" says Mischi. But the shock came in the car: "The guy wasn't 22, as his profile said. He was definitely over 30 and kept pestering me the whole time!"
Watch the video above to find outOuting, outing: To out someone is to disclose a person's gender identity and/or sexual orientation to another person or group against his/her will. how Mischi got out of the awkward situation.
It's not right that women are repeatedly exposed to situations like this. I had a conversation with Mischi before publishing her story, because I'm aware that there will be people who will attack her in her situation. Because the sentence: "Who's stupid enough to get into a car on a Tinder date?" is sure to come.
Mischi said that it does happen and that young women do things like this because it "goes well many times". That's why it's important for her to tell her story to make other young women aware of the danger. Even if she has to put up with criticism.
I think it's great of Mischi, because the shame after such an experience is often far too great to talk about it. But it's not okay what happened to her. When a person says NO, that's a NO. Even with a Tinder date who is looking for sex, you can change your mind at any time. In general, you can say that harassment and harassment of any kind should be reported immediately and reported to the police. Mischi's Tinder date deleted his fake profile immediately after the incident and could no longer be found anywhere.
