They are usually far more humble than that. It was a strange comment. Any self respecting decent person respects our troops. I don't need to be told or indeed wish to be told to respect them, so not sure why he felt the need to play that card. Many people everyday do work that I have nothing but respect for and soldiers are most certainly up there. He conducts himself on here in a very non soldier like way as he is all about attack.

Bridge of Djoum Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Shyness will be catagorised as a disability and I can give up work and live off benefits for the rest of my life. Sounds good to me, bring it on! Shyness and social phobia are in fact two separate problems.

Ach I broadly agree, but you know, some women actually quite like the idea of what he did (I've discussed this with several today). Maybe in the world that this guy inhabits and the experiences he's had throughout his daily life this sort of behaviour is entirely acceptable. Clearly she thought otherwise! On the other hand, maybe he really is a creepy weirdo who was going full-on Vic Reeves on her for the entire train journey and that's what initially creeped her out.

Taking to social media may seem an over-reaction but if it helps to highlight behaviors we may feel are harmless but in reality people do feel uncomfortable with, I think it served a purpose.

JudyJudyJudy Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 it was crass , immature and fairly niave attempt at chatting her up. She has a right to her own feelings about it. She has hardly "humiliated" him. Unless hes a " snowflake" Often makes me laugh when i have heard those attempts by men when chatting up women. My straight friends delights in telling me of his " scoring " with " burds" On Tinder. His opening line seems to work with a high percentage of cases. its seems..its " hiya cheeky" !!!!!

luckydug Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 6 hours ago, Francis Albert said: It seems to me it is just possible that this bloke on this train may have his own problems. He may be desperately lonely, mentally disabled or disturbed in some way, and being "outed" on social media as a creepy weirdo for perhaps in his mind an innocent or kind gesture might tip him into a darker place. But hey let's just string him up (figuratively speaking at least). According to the account the young women gave on her video statement of the encounter the man had already left the train before she read the note. If he had any creepy intentions he would he would have stayed around to see her reaction. Anyway a very unwise thing to do in this day and age. He hasn't committed any crime just been a bit nieve imo. I'm glad I'm past the dating and chatting up girls stage as the world seems to be a dangerous place for young people. All those nights spent after pub closing time at the Plaza or Cavendish trying to get a click turns out I would now be classed as a sex pest to modern thinkers.
