A man has caused outrage on TikTok after a video of him asking for a woman's number has gone viral.
The " SusDudes " regularly post videos of young men hitting on women in public and other "pranks."
In a recent video, Ethan, one of the men running the SusDudes account, was seen approaching a woman who is shopping with her child in Target, an American supermarket.
"You're not single, are you?" Ethan is heard asking the woman.
When she replies that she is, he says "really?" before asking for her age and her number.
"You look way younger," Ethan replies when she tells him that she is 38.

"When I first saw your face, I'm like 'this girl is gorgeous,'" he adds.
"I’ll give you my number and see if you call," the woman finally says.
Then the TikToker addresses the toddler, saying: "I’m getting your mum’s number, yay! Yay, your mum’s number."
Since being posted, the video, which is captioned "'Are you single?' #pranks #hotmoms #prank," has been viewed more than five million times and caused outrage in the comments.
Many people took offence to the prank and voiced how unkind it was to "mess" with the woman's emotions.
One person said: "These pranks are middle school [bulls**t] don't make people feel special as jokes."
Another wrote: "This is wrong on so many levels that woman deserves a real man who can help raise a child."
"How is being cruel to someone funny?" commented a third.
Someone else then said: "Great. Now she has two kids to look after."
Another viewer tried to defend the guy, writing: "I think he actually wanted the number because he tried to wave the cameraman to back up lol."
One of the commenters also claimed to be the pranked single mom.
The comment said: "Hi, I’m the Jenn in this video. I think these kinds of 'pranks' are ridiculous. Please do a better job of blurring my face, Ethan."
