Also Aero I get what you're saying but afaik this is just a place where ppl can talk about whatever gross and/or sexy stuff they want to and not necessarily a place where we all have to walk on eggshells around each other, right?

Idk I think we should still tell ppl if it seems like they are being creepy. This isn't about piling on necessarily

I would like to venture that Neanderthal's post was only moderately creepy. I don't understand the Cecil B. Demented ref, so maybe that holds the key, but I say his post was only at like 55%-65% creepy, given the currently establish creep capabilities of this board.

OK listen, I think that it was probably just worded unintentionally awkwardly but, as a woman, I have to say that
"My will is being tested because she wears the shortest shorts imaginable for a costume and has managed to bend over in front of me like ten times tonight."
is pretty freakin creepy. Like wtf is being tested? His impulse to just throw her on the ground and fuck her? Poorly chosen words imo but it's not the end of the world. Most people (myself include) could do with a little more thinking before they post every now and then.
Let's move on now, OK?

i think it was pretty clear from the preceding sentence -where he referred to how she was leaving town, so if anything happened it would just be fling - that he was talking about hitting on her, not raping her. why would anyone's first assumption be that he is talking about raping her???
― just1n3, Friday, 29 July 2011 14:08 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think it was that clear, J. The fist sentence didn't even seem connected to the second imo. As I said earlier I think it was just really poortly worded in very unaware way.
― ladies love draculas like children love stray dogs (ENBB), Friday, 29 July 2011 14:14 (twelve years ago) link
idk i just think it's really mean-spirited to start implying someone is 'rapey' - like, that's a pretty horrible approach to someone, just bc you don't like them. i just don't understand why you would think that he would come on this board and be talking about restraining himself from 'taking her'.
― just1n3, Friday, 29 July 2011 14:19 (twelve years ago) link

if you have the opportunity to assume something bad about a person, you damn well do it

Actually if you knew me at all you'd know that is not the case. I generally assume the best about people.
x-post -
I don't dislike him and yet I still see find that post to be troublesome and for the third time I will say that I don't think it was a conscious thing. Also, I'm going to lock the thread if this discussion continues because like I've also already thread I don't think this needs to be discussed any more. We all make stupid posts sometimes.

"my will is being tested" is creepy?! Girl in short shorts bending over in front of him ten times in the evening means he was aroused and not to express the most basic expression of said arousal (pawing, slobbering, tent pole thrusting or what have you) does take an act of will, the will to be polite, civilized, and considerate. What would be creepy is if he reached out and grabbed her ass. To be tempted is merely human.

But Michael, it wasn't clear that it was not his intent to commit rape.

Honestly when I read this thread I thought some Cattle Grind type post was deleted by a mod or something. I don't know what women think about men in general but assuming that we have to constantly refrain ourselves from stalking women, pinning them down, and raping them is kinda odd. then again you never know with a guy like Neanderthal. I hit SB just in case.

Nobody said that's what they assumed.
― ladies love draculas like children love stray dogs (ENBB), Friday, 29 July 2011 15:04 (twelve years ago) link
I kind of figured it was assumed that theater people are easy and that his will was being tested because if he actually hit on her it'd be like a four hour over/under until they had sex, and he didn't want to overcommit and have sex and catch feelings.
For some people, dating and sex is all-in or gtfo
― mh, Friday, 29 July 2011 15:05 (twelve years ago) link
Like I explained to a friend, some times you're not cut out for casual flirting at the bar, it's either going to be sitting alone in the corner nursing a beer, or hardcore making out in front of the place followed by awkward attempts to have sex next to the dumpster.
― mh, Friday, 29 July 2011 15:06 (twelve years ago) link
To be tempted is merely human.
w/apologies to erica for contributing to a clusterfuck, this should prob get its own horribly depressing thread or whatever:this is wrong; tempted infers that you are being held back from, or refraining from, doing something, which in this case you're not. you might be aroused!, or excited, but contextualising it in terms of 'i had to stop myself' is putting yourself in the plain of creepiness, kinda, i think. i mean you didn't do it!, & i have no suspicion that it was meant this way, but just if we are going to double down then i think that it crosses the line, putting it in an implied realm of maybe-doing-something, which should not have been on the potential list of actions.

Look, it's fine. Some people found the wording to be creepy. Some did not. It happens, you know?

It was meant as humor!
No one really wants to have sex next to a dumpster. At least not after that first time.

tempted infers that you are being held back from, or refraining from, doing something
like, you know, hitting on her
usually people aren't glad they had one-night stands but you know i think this was pretty clear
if anything i think we've discovered why this thread is so strangely tame
