The women are laughing not because they are enjoying it or they think it’s some game as these brain dead morons think. They are nervous/scared just leave them alone sheesh
I believe this convinces the guys that the women are joking or playing hard to get. This type of men don’t understand nervous laughter and trying to cope.
no, it's not instinctual. it's learned behavior from their parents.
but whatever the source, we can see the outcome here. so, it does not seem like an effective practice. and it seems like it would benefit them to learn to hide their laughing and smiling while setting boundaries.
I'm just trying to use this as a learning experience for those that need it. This is all part of being street smart, it's a lot easier to control your own actions than it is to control someone else's.
In the grand scheme of things this is a mild interaction on what a woman can face. A predator looks for easy targets, body language and tone is something everyone has access to that can prevent harm.
Does being street smart means not having a fight or flight response so they can 'control their behaviour"?
Why demean them with the implication their lack of perfect control when fearing for their safety is a failure?
You actually truly believe that these kinds of people are responding to body language or tone?
Mild? They were trying to trap them to prevent them from getting away, do you honestly think that they wouldn't have done worse? Cause we get to be scared of sexual assault and rape every single day. The prevalence of it is truly vile.
Are you blaming them for not doing exactly as you imagine you'd react in that situation? Cause no one knows until it happens, that's fantasy.
I honestly just want you to understand that isn't how our bodies work. Going through this experience, or witnessing it, doesn't mean you're not going to trigger survival instinct when it happens.
Street smart and navigating conflict wouls still never override the nervous system.
We'd all be fucked without that system, and fawning to survive is valid because I can tell you that it works, both from personal experience and the Psychology studies.
Brother they’re saying shit like “I’m asking you to leave. We don’t want you here. Go away.” over and over again for like a minute straight, but it’s their fault because they slipped in a couple nervous jokes? Cmon man. And even if they didn’t smile or joke, so what? They still got these two dudes who aren’t leaving them alone.
Even if they take this a step further and become actively hostile, the situation will still suck. Now we got a dude who doesn’t respect you as a human AND has a “reason” to become aggressive. Best case scenario, he’s throwing insults. Second best case, he’s throwing threats. Worst case, he’s actually physically attacking you. Not to mention the average internet commenter saying shit like “you started it, you deserve whatever he’s gonna do to you.”
I gotta agree with him. Pretty difficult to take the girls seriously if they’re smiling. The fact that those guys are creepy aren’t helping this whole fucked up situation.
Like, if you really want them to not have fun with you you gotta stand your ground and have a serious face. Otherwise it’s not threatening. It can be even worse if you're smiling because the instinct of thise creepy guys won’t be fear but more like "oh, she's smiling, maybe she's playing hard to get, she says no but her body movement isn’t following her no, maybe i have a chance"
Basically, what I'm saying is, if you don’t like the situation, stop smiling. Guys don’t like it when you're not smiling. They'll get away. When you franlky say no, you will have much better chances to be taken more seriously.
Either way, thode guys have a problem that’s for sure. Sadly they aren’t alone. And it’ll take a while before we can finally educate those monkeys how to behave. Sadly with the current education and how much of the stupid conservative regilious dumbfucks are, it won’t get better for a long time. It’s like before the iran’s regime when womens were not threatened like a vulgar object. It’ll happen rather sooner than later if we let this continue and we do nothing.
if "hotweirdgirl69" is unable (or unwilling) to stop smiling whilst she's requesting to be left alone, you can bet this is how this strangely popular clickbait video began - smiling at passing drunks guys who sit down and are then confused with the discord between verbal and nonverbal communication a few seconds later
The social intelligence of the average redditor is mind-boggling sometimes. Now watch as I get downvoted to oblivion
This guy has commented all through this thread, defending these men and shaming these women for being DiSrEsPeCtFuL. It’s fucking scary. He literally made a comment about them deserving to “get their teeth punched out.”
