Does he usually walk up to random people on the street who aren't wearing headphones to try start conversations? 😬
Judging by replies to that thread… yes, quite a bit. One woman described how she had to wear ear protection after ear surgery and a guy removed that to talk to her from behind. She was in pain for 2 days afterwards.
Edit: my personal experience is I had 2 different guys tap on my shoulder and ask me to remove my earbuds by gesturing. Both times they were trying to pick me up. I was just on the way home from work, exhausted and also heavily married.
Oh my god, that's awful
What is lightly married?
It's a thinner batter - think tempura rather than chipshop fish (or corndog if you're of the USian persuasion).
You guys put corndog batter on fish???
No, it's not as thick as that, but it's thicker than tempura batter.
lol, maybe engaged? So like wearing just the engagement ring instead of both rings?
Soo.... Just regular engaged?
But with a chance
I think it was jus a joke...
Idk I've known married couples that preferred to live far apart or other married couples who were casual partners but needed marital benefits
20 years in. Nobody is taking it that seriously any more.
H..How can someone come even close to think it is a smart move to stand behind someone, invading personal space (at minimum with their arm), grabbing and taking away ones belongings aka the headphones and then expecting that person will be happy to have a nice chat with you which results in a date?
Some people really are just that stupid I guess.
Cavemen like that only understand a wack on the head, and even then they think the woman is into them.
Because they think they're hot shit and have an ego the size of Jupiter. In their mind, they're the catch and someone would have to be a (insert slur) to turn down such a gracious offer from the world's most attractive "alpha male".
Sounds like she suffered consequences while the man who harmed her suffered no consequences.
We should be able to easily call police and sue for damages in such situations.
Someone... touched what some stranger is wearing to remove it... and it wasn't an emergency???
What the fuck is wrong with people
entitlement. women are objects for men to interact with and men are owed their attention when they want it. you have ear protection? well that interferes with me seeking female attention, so off it goes. that's the mindset we're dealing with.
To the gas chambers with them all!
