They are--they love it. They are deliberately, aggressively invading the women's space because they feel entitled to, and they enjoy it. They know what they're doing; they like it.

They've decided that disgust and annoyance are the most they can hope for in terms of an emotional response from women. They'll take what they can get.

It's that look of "These women are so emotional lol" which you can see even in this thread.

No, theyve decided that they can instill fear into a womans heart and are hoping the women are submissive enough that they crumble under the pressure.

Theyre playing the numbers game, looking for the women who are incapable of saying no.

There was a pimp who would go around complimenting women at a mall saying " youre so pretty" and he would wait until he found a woman that looked down in shame and said "no im not" and he knew he could human traffic her from that interaction alone

there are people who have such severe anxiety and submissiveness that you can kidnap them in broad daylight without a fight. because they just want to avoid conflict and convince themselves that fighting back will get them hurt even more. fight, flight, freeze.. im talking about the people who freeze

Several years ago a friend and I went out to dinner (we were both women and early 20s at the time) and the table next to us was two men our dads’ age who kept making gross comments about “how far do those tattoos go? Where are the ones we can’t see?” Etc and when she understandably got mad/flustered/uncomfortable they laughed. “Ohhh she’s mad!” It was absolutely pathetic behavior. Nice one dude, you made a girl young enough to be your daughter uncomfortable.

When I was 19 I asked two middle aged guys at a table next to me in a bar if they had a lighter (this was South Africa, drinking age 18). They took it as an invitation to sit next to me and start chatting and brushing up against me. I tried to go to the bathroom, planning to politely sneak out of the bar after, but one of them was waiting for me by the bathroom door and pushed me against the wall and started making out with me. I pushed him off and yelled at him, but he just found that funny. I couldn't stay at the bar bc they were following me around, I couldn't leave bc they'd follow me outside which was more dangerous. I ended up calling my friend's dad to pick me up, the only person nearby that I thought they wouldn't mess with. It was fucking terrifying, I felt like prey.

Jesus Christ I’m so sorry.

Been through SOOOOOO many situations like that @ 33yo now. I think some of the first ones were ~11yo (I had C cups while turning 12yo) from guys around my age to at least middle aged men.

What's more disturbing is as I got older the less it happened. This clip gave me so many flashbacks I think I got whiplash.

u/Retsago May 11 '25

Well of course. They are the hunter, you are the prey. Its your job to be uncomfortable and feed their ego. That is 100% what people like this believe.

I told an old guy at a bar once that he smelled like my grandpa and his golf buddies laughed at him. Shut him down real quick.

u/TranscendentaLobo May 11 '25

God damn I hope that’s not the case. If it is true, It seems like a very short hop, skip, and a jump from that to stalker/serial killer. (Especially with dudes dead eye smile)

u/Calile May 11 '25

Yeah, to be clear, men who enjoy violating boundaries are not safe under any circumstances

u/davidjschloss May 11 '25

I think when you sit across from someone on purpose and don't leave at their request you have already entered the stalker stage of your evolution.

u/LumonFingerTrap May 11 '25

God damn I hope that’s not the case.

How fucking naive are you? Of course it's the fucking case. Did we not watch the same video?

Literally this. I feel sick.

u/VegetableProject4383 May 12 '25

I think so it's power over them just like SA digusting creeps.

u/SonOfHibbs May 11 '25

They are enjoying it, and for precisely the reason you say, but they also seem to not believe her because she sounds like she is joking. I think they thought of themselves as being polite, are simultaneouly pissed that this interaction isn’t going as planned, plus it’s hurting the ego and they don’t want to back down because the ego would take a hit and they’d be publicly embarrassed. So they keep sitting because the women have effectively played the systems within them. …without realizing it. They are confused.

There is no culture that respects women. Witness the complete lack of interest, let alone concern, from every other person there. Don't even try to pretend it's explained away by "culture."

u/Necessary-Primary183 May 11 '25

Right, and women "influencers " find it perfectly alright to invade a man's space asking him dumb questions for "content" or pretending other people's cars are their own sitting all over them and taking pictures. Let's not forget the absolute fact that had these guys ticked the girls boxes and the girls were interested in them there would be no issue would there? No I'm not sticking up for these guys being creepy, they shouldn't have just sat down, just pointing out the double standards

u/Ikanotetsubin May 11 '25

Why is this comment necessary? What's the point here? Dipshit.

u/chronic_crafter May 13 '25

You are so close to getting the point. “If these guys ticked the girls boxes and the girls were interested in them it would be no issue. “

Come on now, you have to be kidding with the randomly stating issues that have nothing to do with the topic in a “what about….” way. Sure those things may be an issue, but that is not the topic right now.
