And do you want to know why I’m so FUCKING mad? It’s because me and another female friend went out dancing tonight. We made friendly conversation with a group of males. We wanted to know where they were from because of their obscure accent. It was just FRIENDLY conversation. Then we went to dance. One of the guys followed us. He clearly misread friendly conversation for a form of flirting. He stared grinding on my friend. She was uncomfortable and asked me to help so I told him to f’off and he paid no attention. I then asked another guy (guy #2) to pretend he was my friends boyfriend to discourage this other guy (guy #1). Guy #2 said to just “walk away”. WALK AWAY!!!??? We’d been doing that all night. You clearly don’t understand what it’s like being a girl on a night out. You can’t simply just “walk away”. We did that. And this creep, guy #1, followed us. I told him “my friend is in a relationship and she is not interested” and he said “she doesn’t know what she wants” and resumed trying to corner her. I LOST MY SHIT!! I told him, “she knows exactly what she wants and it’s not you, just because a girl speaks to you doesn’t mean she’s going to go home with you. She’s being polite and kind and friendly. If you misread that situation then that’s on you. IF YOU LAY A HAND ON HER I WILL CUT YOUR DICK OFF”. And he called me a bitch and walked away. And do you know what?! If I have to be that BITCH to protect my friend from being harassed, I’ll be that fucking bitch... How long will it take until women can go out, engage in friendly conversation and not be molested in the process?!

EDIT: thanks for the support. I 100% agree with a lot of people saying to get help from the staff. It’s something I didn’t think of and great to keep in mind for next time.

As for guy #2. I also agree he didn’t have to get involved, and I probably shouldn’t have asked. I wasn’t angry he didn’t want to help, his choice, I was more frustrated because he thought “walking away” was the solution. That general opinion is what make the situation a whole lot worse. To clarify we had walked away from guy #1 numerous times, and my friend said numerous times she wasn’t interested.

And of course I was never actually going to get violent. The whole point of the story is that you have to go to that extent to make someone understand you’re not interested. Saying “no” doesn’t seem to work and that’s what got me mad.

I didn’t actually tell him to fuck off, it’s a figure of speech. We had told him to leave us alone. Next time I vent of reddit I’ll be sure to be 100% literal and write the transcript of conversation line by line.

I’m mad that you can’t just say “no, not interested” as that’s not enough and you have to get angry and be a bitch for guys to fully understand.
