I should clarify by saying that this thread wasn't specifically the creepy one I was talking about, it just happened to be one that caught my eye. We've lived different lives but I can't say that when I've had to tell a girl I'm not interested, it's not been effective- Most normal people accept it and move on. Maybe if you skirted around the issue and only dropped subtle "I'm not into you" hints then they might not be deterred, but that's why I suggested a direct and honest approach.
We obviously read the story in different ways as well. But to me, while possibly the OP wasn't intending to be malicious, there was a certain amount of "Hey this girl is into me but I don't give a shit about her so why not just outright tell her what I'm into and either get something quick and easy or it makes her uncomfortable and she leaves me alone". Which strikes me as pretty disrespectful, and vaguely misogynistic when you consider that he's only treating her that way because she was forward with him.
