What happened
Actually, last week I was teaching my teenage sister how to drive when we got followed.
We were in a parking lot, so when I told her to try parking straight, a group of dudes started doing donuts around my stopped car. My little sister was kind of frozen but I immediately went into defense mode and shot every one in the circling car their own individual dirty look one by one. My next option was to have her lay on the horn while I called the cops.
It was really heartbreaking that I was TRYING to help my sis through an important rite of passage, and had to turn around and shield her from another, more scary one...I felt so powerless

I was on the phone distracted at CVS.
Man you're 100% on the money here. shyt like this is why dude's like Kent just say "fukk it, I ain't approaching females".
Dude in the video was a piece of shyt and should have got smacked for that shyt tho, what he did was different.

I think a key here is in learning to read body language and social cues. Women on average tend to be more practiced in it, while we as men can sometimes be largely ignorant of it - usually because we assume that women are just able to do that shyt while we're not so nuanced. I learned how important it is when I became even more conscious of my social skills after the autism diagnosis. I went through a stage of approaching a lot of girls in nightspots - usually as a wingman for my former friend who was into PUA at the time. Since then, I very rarely approach. Usually, I have to know my environment, read the woman's body language, face, subtext - and I also have to be somewhat mindful of my own so that I don't come off too awkward, as I'm not the smoothest guy in the world
. It's much easier to approach women when you internalize those things so they become second nature. That way, you don't have the added problem of being inappropriate or scaring the shyt out of her.

What a bytch ass p*ssy fukker ass bytch. I know your husband must be pissed.
I remember one time my little sister (shes now 18 years old) went to the library with me, and after we finish doing what we had to do, I had to leave early for work. After I left the library 10 minutes later my little sister called me crying on the phone, and she told me some man was inside the elevator with her, and he began to flirt with her, and grab her ass and t*ts, and ran like a jack rabbit as soon as the elevator door opened. Mane, I was furious that I ran back to check on my little sister. That fukker is lucky I didn't catch him. I would beat his ass to a bloody pole. Now I under-stand what most women are going through with this sexual harassment incidents. Glad you're safe.
@Matt504 should have dropped this thread in thereI wonder what the responses to the video would be in TLR?

What other thread?
I made this thread here in the Salon because I'm not really interested in men's opinions on street harassment as they have made it quite clear that "it's not a big deal"
