Man bragged about abandoning 3 exes stranded in the Alps — his date gave him a taste of it
Most people have ignored at least one red flag on a date because they did not want to seem dramatic or judgmental too quickly. However, sometimes, people say something so bizarre and unsettling that pretending not to notice almost feels like a crime. The strange part is that some people are proud of their antics. A Threads user who goes by @berirebrand shared a similar dating horror on April 23, 2026. While on a date with a man in Bosnia, she was shocked to hear that he had literally stranded three of his exes in the Alps. The story was terrifying, but seeing that he had no remorse, she chose to avenge them with a simple trick.
The man kept bragging about how he abandoned his exes in the wilderness of a harsh mountain range, as if it were an applause-worthy confession. Rather than expressing embarrassment or regret, he reportedly treated the entire thing like a funny travel anecdote meant to impress his date. It was clear that he had no sense of respect or care for the safety of women. That unsettling confidence was likely what pushed her to avenge the other women. The following day, she invited him to visit a castle together. After they got out of the car and started walking, she told him to wait because she had forgotten her camera inside the vehicle. She then ran back to the car, drove away without him, blocked his number, and never looked back.
While the man's "joke" rightfully did not get the applause, the woman's revenge surely did. She was definitely a girl's girl and deserved the acknowledgment. @her_nanigans said, "You can now put 'successfully avenged three women' in your CV!" while @vanopadesigns commented, "I would have called him from a burner phone to see if he still found it funny and then block him there too." @sarahb_wildnfree also wrote, "The biggest tragedy of this story is that the exes have no idea they were avenged."
Apparently, this is something certain men do, and not even feel guilty. @gloss_medium wrote, "My sister was the victim of such an experience. She had a phone, she reached me, and I was able to get in touch with local authorities to help her." Stories like this make people wonder when and how tormenting people emotionally became more normal than having an honest conversation when things aren't working out. Still, perhaps the only silver lining is that some people become so comfortable confessing these things casually that others get the chance to recognize the red flags and leave before things get even worse.
