Changing The Creepy Guy Narrative

[Razgovory]

I creep people of both sexes out just coming into the room.

Can you do it from the street? You should be in porn.

[Razgovory]

I'm awfully camera shy.

Speesh is saying that if that 20th woman stopped responding, the lounge lizard would eventually give up.

Not true, as he even said the problem would still likely continue, I guess he's arguing that some non-insignificant portion would give up, but the point seems moot and rather uninteresting given that we'll never be in a world where all targets rebuff the advances.

Both guys came across as wankers. 

Oh I'm certainly not saying that anyone should emulate the writer (and his writing style is certainly grating in places) but I just thought it was an amusing scenario.

On a different note, living in a gay city like DC and being hit on by dudes really helps you understand the other perspective.

In your opinion did the writer come across as a wanker because of how he acted in the scenario in question, or because of how he described it when writing about it?

I did like it, garb.  I agree with the thesis and I enjoyed the story.

That said, I don't think the story illustrates the thesis well.  The woman was not unclear, and the man had no reasonable hope.  The only thing the story really illustrates is that assholes exist.  I'm not surprised.

What I've always been against like is lack of clarity, which is why Internet dating > trying to pick up women in real life.  So I'm fully onboard with the idea that women should have weapons-free against guys hitting on them, and vice versa.

I'm not even sure the woman I was talking to the other day was actually trying to pick me up, even though I understood her to be dropping hints about a dinner date, because my understanding will always be mediated through human limitations.

That's true.  It ranges from validating to annoying to threatening.

All in all, though, I think it's a better way to live, but being neither a woman nor gay, that way is denied me.

Did they just walk up and hit on you?

A couple of times I've heard 'so and so gay dude was asking about you', but never hit on out of the blue.

The urinal come on was pretty common.

I got the "have you been working out?" line a few times from guys in SF.

"Do you like to party?"

"Would you like a blowjob?"

Hey Grab On, a homo question for you: do pitchers usually make the first move, or not necessarily?
