Meeting People (2 Viewers)

If they didn’t read the signs that the person was clearly unhappy to have been interrupted that is disrespectful.

That men who deliberately ignore the cues, prompts and expressions of disinterest are the lowest of the low.

this woman’s response was tepid at best
she was busy reading
The woman sat through it, subdued but polite.
Eventually, she left.

You know Hermie wrote a lot more than just those two sentences right ?

 

[nooleen]

i do indeed
there was a great bit about how utterly offensive it is to tell men not to pester women, but i thought the segment above was the closest to the crux of the matter

From memory

You: Girl with brown hair walking into Waitsfield Grocery
Me: Guy with longish hair and mustache beside a white van

You looked at me and smiled as you passed, it felt like we had a moment. Coffee?

Todays Metro had a particularly hilarious one, essentially it was "Swiss girl on the Dart, you gave me the wrong number".
How slow can you go?

He didn't say that. He said it's offensive to tell men not to approach women and talk to them, that and pestering are two completely different things that's the point, he's agreeing that pestering is not on.

It's like the difference between looking at a woman and stalking her.

 

[nooleen]

he actually did say pester

like, literally

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

To be fair, it seems the intent was to say that it's not right to call all men out on pestering, when it's only a subset doing it.

 

[washingcattle]

For fuck sake, it's really obvious what he's saying you're trying to twist his words to suit yourself.

 

[nooleen]

yes, by quoting him verbatim i am twisting his words

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

ah here

yes i know, #notallmen

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Anyone else got deja vu?

 

[washingcattle]

Fair enough. You should probably drop it and apologise then.

 

[nooleen]

what you've done there is selective quoting rather than twisting

 

[hermie]

Ha, didn't sound like you did. Thought there might have been something I was missing in all of this. But actually all you want to do is nitpick, obfuscate and not really say much yourself. You're like the bus driver tapping the sign.

Anyway I'm gonna hop off, not sure why I was so curious how people meet these day I've been spoken for quite some time. My girlfriend followed me into the toilet at a party. Pretty creepy you could argue but I'm glad she did. Vive la difference

well, that and the bit in the article that described how the attention was obviously unwelcome.
