Well, you'd have this interpretation if you're an oversensitive bleeding heart. The normal interpretation would be that he got the same feeling of excitement seeing her beauty as he would if he were to find $1000 laying in the street. That's a pretty big compliment IMO.

    Re: What irritates you?

    There have been three women (I believe) who have commented in this thread since the discussion of the harassment. Mandy18, Jordanbball17, and dmbetc. dmbetc hasn't commented either way but these are the other two women:

    I don't want to put words in their mouth but it seems to me they consider this harassment. Harassment is subjective. Take this information as you wish.

    It doesn't mean a thing in a sample size of 6/7 people.... I mean, what's happening here? All the females are saying harassment, all the males are saying that it's hypersensitivity at work.

    Sorry, "pickup line" is an outdated term. The politically correct term now is "harassment"

    I hate it more when someone is going the same direction as me with their high beams on. Sometimes at night in certain busy highways, being directly in front of someone with highs on pretty much blinds you to everything else around. I've been basically stuck in the lane in front of one such car because I couldn't see if the lane next to me was clear or not. Need a roof-mounted rear-facing light to flash at these kinds of a-holes.

    So you're telling people how they should feel based on no knowledge of how they live their lives or how these words affect them?

    No. YOU can't be harassed. Harassment is mainly subjective.

    Evidently it's not considering how everybody's getting their panties (whoops undergarments - don't want to harass anybody) in a bunch over this video.

    Zero times. I have pretty thick skin since I'm an attorney. However, I'm sensitive to the idea that every person isn't exactly like me.

    Re: What irritates you?

    For the record, I wasn't commenting on the actual video.
    I was basically pointing out that defcon is something else if he thinks wearing jeans and a t-shirt is "dressing like a slut." (and he confirmed as much b/c the jeans are "tight" and OMG cleavage!).

    Do I think saying hello to the opposite sex is harassment? Of course not.
    But, creepily following someone? Getting a lot closer.
    Repetitive hitting on someone? Perhaps.

    As for the video itself, the bit I watched showed men being extra obnoxious, but not harassment, for the most part (again, creepy following dude was getting close). It's more respect / disrespect to me than harassment. Saying hello to a stranger of the opposite sex that you pass on the street is neither disrespectful or harassment. Acting like the asses in the video - completely disrespectful.

    Yeah. I'm the crazy one for thinking that when a guy equates money to women that he's talking about a prostitute.

    I just "saw" a thousand dollars. Not I just "found" a thousand dollars.

    Can't argue with Mandy's thoughts on the issues. Harassment is subjective. I'd rather live in a world where those comments that I saw in the video aren't being made than in a world where they are.

    Anything and everything offends everyone these days. That's my biggest irritant in life. How many times have you seen this scenario play out in the past few years: a statement by a public figure offends one person, they start a petition and it gets shared by all the other hyper-sensitive lunatics on Facebook, that public figure is suspended, loses their job, and at the very very least has to issue a public apology for it in order to keep their job. It's honestly pathetic. And labeling the comments in that video as harassment is right in line with that entire hypersensitive train of thought.

    Do I think saying hello to the opposite sex is harassment? Of course not.
    But, creepily following someone? Getting a lot closer.
    Repetitive hitting on someone? Perhaps.

    As for the video itself, the bit I watched showed men being extra obnoxious, but not harassment, for the most part (again, creepy following dude was getting close). It's more respect / disrespect to me than harassment. Saying hello to a stranger of the opposite sex that you pass on the street is neither disrespectful or harassment. Acting like the asses in the video - completely disrespectful.
    I don't think any normal person would disagree with the bolded.

    What I would also add is that when cameras are rolling, people act differently. I'm not saying this girl doesn't experince cat calls. My only contention is that with the video, they may be amplified.

    In addition, women are pretty much the same way. Every girl who likes Adam Levine starts with he's SO hot AND charitable. It's never the other way around.

    Lastly, I'd rather ignore or "fight off" women catcalling me than panhandlers. So it's not like anyone really walks down the street withouth being harrassed.

    stomach upset, not being able to keep hydrated, not eating in three days, don't know if food poisoning, stomach virus, or ebola, but my sphincter will be glad when this relents. It hurts so baaaaad, oh (Mort Goldman voice)...I have lost 9 pounds. If its not better by tomorrow evening I'm going to see the Wizard.

    I've gotten hit on by women numerous times, mostly on the train or while waiting in line somewhere (the bank, lunch, etc.). The only difference is that I don't mind, and I'll talk with them. I'm not saying I'm the most handsome guy walking around Philly, not even close, but just having a smile on your face in public invites people to engage you in conversation. Granted, they're mostly older/middle-aged women who probably just need someone to talk to, not supermodels, but I think it's pretty harmless.

    EDIT: But don't smile around homeless people. They'll bug the shit out of you if they think you're friendly. Just have to have the thousand-yard stare and pretend they're not even there. I don't want to hear about how you need $3 for the train to go pick up your kid or some other bullshit sob story. I'm sympathetic to the homeless but I am constantly annoyed by them on the street. That's closer to harassment than anything I've ever experienced (non-sexual, obviously).

    im sure im going to get a lot of eye rolls for this post but to be honest, i don't think there needs to be verbal communication to be "harassed"

    for instance, the other morning i was on a run. quiet sunday. a car is approaching me and slows way down, maybe from 25 mph to 5 mph, like they might pull over and ask for directions or something. so obviously i look at the driver. he didn't need directions, he's just some creepy old guy watching me with this smirk on his face. he didn't say a word. he just stared at me. and not that this should matter, but i wasn't "inappropriately dressed" or anything. just that long glare that seemed to last forever sent chills down my spine, it was a very uncomfortable and unwanted feeling that made me feel very vulnerable... even though not one word was said. maybe im being overly sensitive and a baby, but it was unpleasant. not sure how else to describe it. it's crazy how these emotions can surface from a non-verbal, non-physical interaction

    of course saying "hello" isn't offensive, but liek someone else said, it's all about the tone and context

    i watched the video, none of it really surprised me
