What? You're kidding, right? Where is that mentioned in the original post, and I don't see any subsequent replies from her.

I mean, I'm making things up here, but think about it from the friend's point of view. It's New Year's Eve, you're just trying to have a good time at a bar, and not only do you have some doofus hitting on you and refusing to pick up on go-away signals, but then all of a sudden you have to deal with bouncers and bartenders and potentially the police because your drunk friend decides you need a knight in shining Spanx to protect you from bar doofuses and physically starts a fight with him.
I'd have hauled the drunk friend out of the bar, shoved her in a cab, and told her not to call me again until she stopped taking her cues for how to behave in public from Jersey Shore reruns.
Later that night after things calmed down:
Love the humor! LOL!0 -

By this reasoning, none of us should be posting opinions. Message boards should not exist ... there's NEVER enough info; you have to take what you see at face value and go from there.nutmegoreo wrote: »But from that snippet and from the rest of her post, we do not know if the friend told him to leave her alone or if she was just rolling her eyes and giggling when he turned his back. There is not enough information on the situation to make some of the leaps and bounds that are being taken in this thread.
My reading of this is that the guy was an aggressive *kitten*; if you read my previous posts, I don't think the OP has zero culpability, but why do we expect women to behave well in the face of men who don't? Plenty of women DO giggle and roll their eyes at unwanted advances because speaking your mind gets you dick-ish remarks. (If you don't believe me, see an instagram called "Tinder Nightmares"; you'll see plenty of examples of women letting men down easily and the men lashing out at them.)0 -

So a guy talking to a woman in a bar is now a rapist....?
A violent person AND a rapist, no less0 -

You misunderstood. This post is saying the guy found someone else to harass because he is a pushy d!ck who moved on to his next target after the OP intervened."WinoGelato wrote:What? Is this a serious post? A guy hitting on a girl in a bar on NYE, possibly/probably unwanted based on the ranting of her friend who admits she was put out and didn't like playing the game, is likely to harass or rape someone because the OP reacted so badly and assaulted him?
No I didn't misunderstand. I understand that the only information any of us have are the words the OP wrote when she got home and was still drunk and very emotional. I think it is an extreme stretch to go from the OPs words about the guy not being able to take a hint from her friend, to that he's going to potentially harass and rape someone else. I also understood that the OPs friends were upset with her behavior (rightfully so) and so I'm not sure how much weight to put behind her observation that the guys advances were unwanted. Maybe her friend was trying to make OP feel better by telling her that she wasn't interested in the guy, since the OP felt like she wasn't interested in "playing the game" with any other men at the bar. Maybe as someone else said she was rolling her eyes behind his back.
Maybe she really wasn't into him, but didn't want to be rude.
The point is we don't really know what the situation was between the friend and the dude. And the recounting of what happened between OP and the dude was clearly influenced by a lot of alcohol and emotion. So I find bringing the concept of him finding someone else to rape completely and totally offensive in the context of what limited information we have.0 -
