A woman should be able to laugh off a guy rubbing his naked penis against her

Practice pointer: ladies, most guys don't want you "laughing off" anything having to do with their naked penis. Believe me, that can be emasculating.

Have you ever had an entirely clueless, completely deluded acquaintance who has no idea how undesirable s/he is to people s/he finds attractive?

My "friend" Delusional develops unrequited crushes and then accuses everyone else of interfering in his ability to close the deal.

Recently, we met a woman who told me and the other women that she liked a specific guy in the group. Delusional attached himself to her hip for the entire evening and growled like a dog protecting his bone when anyone else came near her. Still, she was able to break away and hit on the guy she liked and asked him out.

Delusional believes that this particular guy, who happens to be his good friend, is always trying to snake women from him. He is mostly wrong -- the women are usually chasing the friend and get trapped in Delusional's vortex.

I am supposed to have lunch with Delusional today, and I want to tell him that the chick he spent hours working was working his friend. My guy friends think his ego cannot handle it. I am sick of him whining about his friend always moving in on his girls.

Would you/have you told your clueless friend the truth?

You've got to be kidding me.

No, you're right. A woman should be able to laugh off a guy rubbing his naked penis against her, as long as he doesn't progress all the way to rape.

Next you'll say that it doesn't count b/c he wasn't a stranger.

Seriously, have you ever had a naked guy who disgusted you rub his genitals on your bare skin? Did you laugh it off?

I'm glad they made amends b/c I really think that Hatch is just so clueless that he really thought what he was doing was funny and I doubt he meant to traumatize her. But still. Unacceptable. And more unacceptable to say that it should have been laughed off.

I wasnt gonna say anything, but I have to pile on and add the Lestertini Defense. She's drunk, she is a drunk, so its her fault. I guess this is a new defense called "Penis Outside, Not Penis Inside"?

If some fat fuck ever rubs his hairy balls and schlong against me, , complete with hip thrusts, you can bet I would feel violated and squicked out and would take like eighty showers and feel dirty and gross.

Think beyond survivor.
the argument one might file would go like this:

One cannot be allowed to waive the right to object to inappropriate sexual contact. Certainly, it is against public policy to allow a waiver to stand, where the waiver is to be used to forgive a naked guy rubbing penis on the signer.

If this waiver is allowed to stand, how can one distinguish between a waiver in a standard employment contract, waiving any claim against sexual harassment from a supervisor. Forms will be rewritten the day after the court enforces this objectionable clause. Surely, this is a slippery slope, BLah lblah blah....

Damn Hank, I think I just saw a pig flying past, because I agree with you. I don't think she has a case against CBS and the producers, because of the foreseeability argument, but Richard's naked power play was exactly that. What is the standard argument about what makes rape so reprehensible? It's not about sex at all, it's about power. Plus, it doesn't matter how tough of a "broad" she is, the nature of the victim being irrelevant. She could very easily sue Hatch and win. It's not as if she didn't have millions of witnesses.

Absolutely. Every man knows that the best man wins and that after losing you shake hands and move on. Tell him to be a man and not such a fucking whiny hamster.

But did he call "dibs" on her? If he didn't call "dibs" then he can't be mad.

"fucking whiny hamster" --at first I loved it, but then I thought about for a second and wondered whether hamsters whine? Mine never did. Scuttlebut and Cotton Wooly were very content hamsters who never gave me an once of headache except for the fact that they both had the uncanny ability to up and die in the middle of winter making the hamster funeral and burial in the backyard a bery miserable experience.

Is he unattractive because he is delusional and weirdly possessive, or are there other unattractive qualities that can't be fixed?

If it's the former, I would definitely tell him the truth.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, cause if he's like my 4'11" friend with bad breath but the nicest guy in the world (like a certain friend of mine) it's not quite the same as some freak.

Does he ever get woman himself, or is his whole romantic life these unattainable goals? If he does date, despite his paranoid times with his friend, tell him. If he never dates at all, the talk might really hurt his ego. Understand there's a pretty good chance you'll hurt your friendship with him.

Anyone use this? I filed my return a week ago monday and have not had my return hit my bank accoutn. They said ten days. Its This is the tenth business day (including day I filed which was during the morning) and way past the tenth day period. Are people getting their returns timely? Should I follow up on this?

Fuck, are you cold.

Ever heard of PM?

You could find a more subtle way to clue Hank in without humiliating him in front of his imaginary friends here.

For years. Works great. Did you follow all of the confirmation instructions?

I watched Mel do an interview with Bill O'Reilly recently. I thought that crazy glint in Mel's eye during the Lethal Weapon movies was character. I'm not so sure anymore. His mannerisms indicate someone who is not in full control of his faculties. He's not nuts, nor is he stupid, but he ain't "right" either.

Religious zealots of all religions are by definition mentally not right. Anyone who becomes so consumed by religion like that has lost touch with reality.
