Title: Frigid Brigid upset by flirting man!

Why is it some men get all offended if a woman they don't know is wary around them?

Just a few minutes ago, I was standing at the bus stop, and some guy said "hi" as he walked by. I said "hi" in return; but instead of just going on his way, he stopped and said, Are you staying out of trouble?" I just gave him a look I seem to have inherited from my mother, and he got all huffy before he went on down the street. BTW, my mother also taught me not to talk to strange men. Every mother worth her salt teaches her daughters that. Why should I be obliged to drop my guard just to avoid offending some guys never saw before, and won't see again? I don't see any reason myself.

4. Because they're dipshits :)

But seriously, it's hard for me to say since I never start conversations with women I don't know. I have had occasions where I'm walking, and there is a woman walking in front of me, and she notices I'm behind her and does something like hold her bags tighter, or walks faster, etc, and it makes me feel bad. I want to say "don't worry, I'm not dangerous and I don't want you to feel afraid" but of course I worry that would make me sound like a psycho

5. That guy is ****ing gross.

To paraphrase a rebuke from yesterday, "That's no way to talk to a lady."

7. Why is it some black people get all offended when a salesperson follows them around a store?

Does that help?

Unless they were previously acquainted, the guy was some kind of weirdo.

Can't blame him for mistaking a DUmmy for a crack ho.

Sounds like a very bad pickup line to me.

Maybe the guy has a thing for unwashed libtard butch looking women.

I'm almost 100% certain it's okay to talk to strangers when you're an adult.  I do all the time.  Nobody has lured me into their van with free candy.

The fact a man even tried to pick up some DUchess tells me there is something wrong with him. Sure you can be so horny that a puff of wind will get a hard on but a DUchess? No there was some deep psychological problem with him.

Sounds like the guy had a really weird pick up line. 

She really would have been offended at one of my friends.  He had the Boomhower (King of the Hill) method down flat.  He'd talk to every woman in the bar for about one minute before asking if she'd like to have sex.  He reasoned that she had already made that determination anyway so, it was either go time or no time.  He got shot down a lot, but almost never failed to find a woman that would.

Why the **** does she care? She seems to be the one getting all offended and if some guy is offended by a rejection, so what. I don't get the big deal here. Geez. I take it as flattery of someone finds me attractive. Doesn't mean I want to date them and I can care less if they are offended by that fact. Geez. And I thought I over think things lol

This is good advice; however, how can you not talk to strange men, women, mutants AND communicate on DU?

I went out to a bar one time with a friend. It was darker than crap in this bar and this guy came up to me and told me what beautiful eyes I had. I said, "how can you tell, I can't even see your eyes".  Lame  :whatever:

That's what seemed the most likely reason to me, when I read it.

I agree.  The thing to do is smile pleasantly and ask "I'm sorry, do I know you?"  "Aren't you Kate?"  "No, I'm afraid not." and be on with life.   Instead, she stews over it and storms home to fire up the DU machine and make a thread.

Bad pick-up lines are what make the best jokes later.   :cheersmate:  I was standing by a Jukebox once at a bar trying to pick a song, and this guy comes up and says he want to play a song for me.  He then proceeded to select "I want to make love to you".  Awkward  :rofl:

The key phrase, of course.

I had a guy try to pick me up once, he was yapping, then he told me he was "God's gift to women" I looked at him and said "God's gift to women is the menstrual cycle, it's annoying and always comes at the wrong time, and you remind me of it". He slinked away.

I'm not superficial at all, looks never mattered to me, I always enjoy a great conversation, but I hate arrogance, and maybe it's the alcohol talking, but some of these men in bars are horrible.

There was 1 time we were out and we were all dressed nice, this was the 80's so sequins and shoulder pads were the thing, I looked really nice in my sequined shirt, well this guy is drunk and he wants me to go home with him, I'm like you've got to be kidding me, well he gets all mad and stands up and starts yelling at some of us women, he gets to me and he goes "and you with the Elvis Presley shirt on, who do you think you are". All I could do was :lmao: it was so stupid and so funny at the same time.

No kiddin'! Hell, the way some women dress they are beggin' for the attention. I get in trouble all the time when I'm out with "Toots" and my eyes wander. I think I have a permanent bruise in my right side from her elbow!

I gotta send that one to "Toots"! She's over in Spokane goin' to a class to help her deal with the chemo. She needs a good laugh, and this is great!

That's the reason I wear dark mirrored sunglasses when I read CC.  It's hard to see where the eyes are looking. :-)

Worse pick up lines I ever encountered. 

So what does your husband do for a living ?

You are under arrest.

You have nice toes.
