Don't Speak to Woman Guys

[Ah Pook]

I showed the video to my wife and asked her what she thought. Her reply was to stay away from this thread, no winners to be had.

You have a very smart wife.

You have a very smart wife.

Just lucky I didn't pop off a couple smart azz posts before I ask her input.

Get 'em Grey.

PS - I have two daughters and while I want them to grow up thick skinned and learn not to let it ruin their day if/when they get disrespected I know I will also have a hard time keeping it cool if some random stranger disrespects them on the street in front of me.

Heck, I am scared to tell any woman how she looks, or ask her a question, unless necessary. You never know what you are going to get.

Seriously, I certainly see how some of the people in the video would have made her nervous and several of them may in fact meet the legal definition of harassment. But some of them seemed entirely benign as well.

Maybe I should have just taken Kevin's wife's advice.

In an age where it's encouraged to do whatever feels good and "beautiful" people are put to the top of the social pyramid, we've done this to ourselves, as a society.

Oh well, life goes on. It won't change the way I vote.

Be safe out there.

Disclaimer: I didn't watch the video, what's the point?

I was once told by a former NYC resident when I was wearing an outfit bought by my girlfriend at the time (who is now my wife) that "if I ditched the shirt, and just wore those pants and that vest in the city, every man woman and child would be after me" He was as queer as the day is long, so I'm assuming that It'd be mostly men with that reaction, probably in Greenwich Village... That was 25 years ago... so in places like that, flaunt it and they'll assume you want the attention..

stupid is as stupid does.

Your gf picked your outfits?

Your gf picked your outfits?

She BOUGHT me an outfit, and asked me to wear it to a party with her class (I was in Engineering, she was in CIS)...
I had plenty of my own style, and tended to stick to that after this incident...

Thanks for second guessing me, with something that happened 25 years ago, really?


I didn't even mention his "roomate" Chip who thought I looked hot...

Did I mention that I looked like 15-16 Years old in College?

(ok, now I sound desperately homophobic... but really I'm explaining why I am)

75% of what happened to that woman was not harassment, if you think otherwise then don't be such a sensitive, whiney bitch and go hide from any social interaction. Young men are horny dogs (for the most part- generalizing here). A semi attractive woman walks the mean streets of any urban center for 10 hours (this is called trolling) and she's going to get hit on, complimented, crept on, and whistled at. Did some of you forget this was in NYC? These are the same people who voted for Obama, Cuomo, Bloomberg, Clinton. If she had done the same in rural TX or WY she probably would have been pissed about the cordial and friendly 'Hello's' she received. That's trolling folks; if you spend enough time sifting, trying, experimenting, etc you're going to eventually prove the biased point you set out to prove.
