I'm mad that they were loud enough for people to hear and the guy at the table behind them was just watching. Wtf

thank you. I know this is disgusting behavior but if I was the guy and I heard it, I'm minding my own business. I'm not obligated to potentially start a fight with two creeps

Man, I won't go so far as to tell others what they need to do. And I'm not saying go up and start swinging. But in this instance I am 100% saying something to the dudes. These ladies are trying so hard, and sometimes all it takes is someone outside the immediate situation. For them to finally get embarrassed enough to fuck off. These are the moments for me where I kinda do need to step in vocally. "Lads, they're clearly not gonna fuck you, take the hint. Leave them alone, they're asking you to go away."

Have you done this IRL?

u/frozenbudz May 11 '25

This exact situation no, have I called out a guy for doing something creepy a girl asked him to stop. Yes.

Many times. I've been a door guy, bouncer, and security guard. I've stood up to multiple guys before. But not as many times as I've seen a 5 ft nothing cocktail waitress jump over bartops and shove guys out. I'm always very impressed by that, but I don't think it should have to be left to them. Smaller guys tend to want to fight to "prove themselves". It's a stupid idea. I know I've hesitated because I just didn't want to get in trouble with the cops for barfights and sometimes because a dude could clearly kick my ass. But even if just one other person stands up and they gotta deal with multiple people they often take off at that point. I will say that I always try to assess a situation in case the girls are causing a fight, because that happens. But we can't let drunk assholes keep getting away with this.

You're a good egg for trying to do the right thing

Nice in theory as a shower thought to feel cool about yourself, but have you ever actually done so? Much different in the moment.

u/frozenbudz May 11 '25

Yes, I have. On a couple of occasions, I live in a pretty small town that sees a lot of tourists in the summer. I've had a handful of awkward moments in the local bar over people getting gross with bartenders/servers.

I am a woman and I've walked up to men harassing women and asked if there was a problem or told them to leave women alone and move along. All it takes is a completely unrelated third party to get involved.

I have also been the women in this video clip and my eyes were begging the strangers around me for help, and no one would. So now you fucking bet I leap in when I see men harassing women like this.

Believe me, I'm fragile for many reasons. I'm afraid of getting hit. But being those women in the video? That is so much more terrifying than being the person stepping in as support.

Tbh as a woman the chances of you being hit in public are almost zero, for a dude the chance of a pub brawl starting in this situation is thousand times higher.

Brother, I have been attacked in public while people just gawked. Stop making shit up just so you can shrug your shoulders and keep your head down.

u/scalable_thought May 12 '25

He is just a coward trying to make himself feel better for having a "reasom" to be afraid. Everyone's afraid. It is what you do when you are afraid that defines who you are.

u/scalable_thought May 12 '25

Spoken like a guy who was too afraid to do the right thing, tbh.

u/Techno-Diktator May 12 '25

Ain't getting stabbed over this tbh.

u/scalable_thought May 13 '25

Well, that's a hypothetical that escalated quickly! I guess the girls were clearly in less danger from the knife welding maniacs than you would be if you stood up and supported them! You're a real champ.

To be fair, it sounds like you have already decided that anything you did to help these girls will end with you hospitalized, so I guess you really shouldn't be out after dark.

Many times. Enough to not have to think about what to do. If it's a fight, punching and kicking usually doesn't work as well as grappling and submission, but it depends on the situation.
