Hey CS'ers ~

I created this poll b/c I'm a little pissed that I went out on New Years Eve and kept getting grabbed. Dudes pulling my pants towards them like they were trying to catch a fish on a line, whispering comments in my ear, grabbing my waist...WTF??

I had a great time with my friends except for feeling violated by some MWNM (Men With No Manners). BTW, I was not dressed like a skank [not that it's an excuse for MWNM b/c it's NOT] and YES I was at a reasonably classy club.

Admiration? Fine.
Compliments? Sure.
Flirting? Whatever.
Touching someone who's not inviting that in any way? Gross.

Opinions, perceptions, levity?

At any rate, it's back to the gay clubs for this girl . . .The gays like to dance as much as I do, don't try to molest me, have better taste in music, AND help me with my hair.

That sucks. Sometimes I wish I was a gurl, so I could slap guys in the face without getting into a fight. Why don't you do it? teach them some manners. Oh, btw, I hope you were wearing more than just your apron!..lol VW rules! laugh applause

HJFinAZ: Just am Old Farts opinion.. I am a touchy feely type of guy, I often have my hand on the shoulder of someone I am speaking with, even my guy friends.

Grabbing a woman is unacceptable to me, personally I think you should learn to use a properly placed knee if this happens to you again.

A quick story.......... My daughter is VERY WELL built if you get my drift. A few years back she was helping a friend that owned a bar one New Years Eve. A guy kept trying to grab her "rather large" breast. She shinned him on a few times because he was drunk. Finally she had enough & the next time he tried it she grabbed his balls very tightly & yanked a few times. He turned red in front of all his friends as they laughed at him.

NOBODY should have to take any crap from anybody..


Good for her. I did lean over & tell one of them I was going to follow him home and murder him in his sleep if he touched me again...but he thought I was flirting. What a piece of work.

On the behalf of all men, I would like to apologize to you for the shabby treatment you recieved, a woman should be able to go out and not feel like she can't relax because of gropping. I am just wondering when you go out to a club do you have a goal??because when I go out I am always looking for Miss right, I know the chances of finding her may be 100 to one that night, but that is the reason, I guess my question to you is, why do you go to a gay club, is meeting someone for a relationship not even in your mind? wave

only if they want to be touched, you can gernerally tell if they want to or not by how they present themselves.

sfcali111, I know a lot of people do go out with this expectation. I'm in the minority. I actually just like to go out, chill with my friends, and jump up and down to dance music until my shoes break.

That said, I wouldn't be closed to meeting someone special at a bar or club but most people aren't looking for love. They want to get laid. Fine goal and all. Just not my goal.

If someone did want to seriously approach a woman, they would not disrespect her by assuming she wanted to be groped or whatever. That's presumptuous and selfish. They would be a gentleman first.

I've NEVER gone to a nightclub with the intention of getting laid. What a terrible place to meet somebody........ I've always gone to dance the night away with as many different women as possible and just enjoy myself.

I've always met women romantically in other places........ oh dear - I met one woman at a dance once and we got engaged for five years...... luckily we didn't get married.

No, nightclubs are NOT the place to meet somebody romantically!

Bars are for drinking! wine

Discos/nightclubs are for dancing! dancing

CS is for meeting strange and exotic women from all over the world! grin laugh

I think they should make belts or skirts with electronic devices in them that when the person wearing them pushes a button it gives off an electric charge, that way if someone grabs you when you dont want to be grabbed,,,, Zap.

scoutmaster: There is a big differance between touching someone on the arm or sholder, even putting your arom around there waste from the side, and grabbing them in the crotch or brests,


Exactly. That´s why I gave the examples in my previous post, to illustrate what is acceptable or not.
