She's on public transport to go to work, not to be an ornament for someone else, and not for others to get angry about because she doesn't feel complimented because some randomer gets his jollies by paying her attention that she doesn't want.  If that story was told by the sister or daughter of most of the contributors on this thread, their comments would be different to what they've posted here.

 

Ornament, really Uly?

 

What do you suggest. Should it be made illegal to compliment the opposite sex? Perhaps ban all forms of attraction. As it stands the man done no wrong. He done nothing that men AND WOMEN I MAY ADD do all over the world and have done since the beginning of time. It is nature. 99 out of 100 girls would welcome it, the poor bugger just picked the wrong one.

Another sweeping ex-cathedra announcement from Uly. No attempt to address what anyone has actually posted.If my sister or my daughter told that story I would in the first case be amazed because she was brought up by the same parents as me and in the second case because she was brought up by me and my wife.

 

[i8hibsh]

What he did is no different to sending flowers to an object of affection. No different at all. Ban that too though as 1 out of every 20,000 women would not welcome it.

[i8hibsh]

Women go up to strange men and say they are hot in every pub in every town and city on every night and in every country. But I guess redm and the male feminist uly will sweep that under the carpet. 

 

Uly strikes me as that guy on a University campus that goes on feminist marches, supports women's lib just because he thinks it will be a good way to get laid. I see through it boyo.

Why didn’t she just tell him to **** off and gies peace ☺

BTW I used to get folk telling me cheer up smile etc at work and the above advice used to do the trick. They went in the huff . Till the next time ☺

I get what you'e saying here Ulysees, but in reading this thread it looks to me like the issue is not so much this case in isolation, but the wider undercurrent. For example, madam and I were just chatting about another public transport story, which related to men giving up their seats for women. In a similar way to this story, let's just say I will definitely think twice about giving up a seat on a crowded bus for a lady now -  based on what I heard, I will not be taking for granted that this would be perceived as either a nice gesture or good old-fashioned manners.

What do I suggest?  Manners, that's what I suggest.  It's none of the creepy weirdo's business what she looks like or what facial expression she's wearing.  I suggest that he should have kept himself and his opinions to himself.  It's not that difficult for people to mind their own business.

He is not asking her magic number, salary or bra size. You know, like saying "How are you" and "chin up" under your logic these are imposing questons. Uly I am certain you feel the same as me about this but as usual you are sucking up to the usual people and playing the role of contrarian.  How would you feel if it was a role reversal and the girl wrote the note?

When I made my point about sisters and daughters you were at the top of my list.  I've met you, John, and I know for a fact that if this story was told to you by someone you cared about you would not - simply, utterly, and absolutely would not - say to her what you are saying on this thread.

Exactly the same.  It would be none of her sodding business.

 

If you want to chat up a woman, try something really tricky like "hi there".  That's manners, and there ain't no law against it.  Handing someone a ****ing note telling them to change their facial expression?  Weirdo.

Spot on.

 

The cheer up patter is chronic.

 

Let al9ne a fekin letter.

[Watt-Zeefuik]

Let's recap.

 

1. Some rando passes a woman a note telling her to smile more.

 

2. The woman makes a short video saying this was kind of creepy, don't do this.

 

3. Dudes across the internet whine about how they're being oppressed and are scared of trying to meet women because they'll get called creepy.

 

. . . . but somehow, it's the *woman* who gets called a "snowflake."

 

 

Just a couple asides. If some rando passed me a note telling me to smile more, male or female, I'd be pissed too. And for what it's worth, if you think this is a good strategy for meeting a potential romantic partner, I can only assume you're single, because this is an epic fail on so many levels, not just being creepy. Like, there's simply no way that's going to get you anywhere.

Shouldn't he have the right to try and fail? He left a note on a table. He was anonymous and he did not touch or harm her in any way shape or form. Unless you are suggesting we ban the right to write?

You have no right to write. Staring at her feet would objectify women. May as well just get yourself down the public toilets at the bottom of the mound and slip some boy a note. I can gaurantee they will not go to the BBC and make a video.

I haven’t seen the video but I have read the story and it didn’t surprise me at all. Maybe women are just sick to the back teeth of being told they’re supposed to be appreciative when someone creeps on them or makes them feel uncomfortable. “Give us a smile love!” Oh sod off. Nobody says that to men. Like your appearance is more important than how you might be feeling at the time. It’s annoying.

I knew you wouldn't believe me. It's an occupational hazard. Rightly or wrongly I have a thick skin. I laugh it off. This is a purely personal opinion. Women behave far worse than men nowadays especially, when they have been drinking. Modern society still has difficulty in accepting it though.

That's the thing though. 

 

If a lassie did the same thing to a guy (which they do btw) and the guy posted a similar video I guarantee that the guy would be utterly ripped. There would be no outpouring of sympathy. And it would be the same posters who are sticking up for the lassie in that video.

I thought I was being romantic when I wrote that.

 

[Randy Marsh]

The easily offended girl in the video isn't even that nice so the guy was wasting his time writing the note.  In fact she actually has quite a fat face so he should have told her to lose some weight if bothering with any sort of note.

Because he wrote that note. 

 

It's also how I know his manners are appalling.  Nobody knows what is going on in someone else's head.  If someone looks "down", maybe it's because they are "down".  Maybe the person opposite you on public transport with the less than happy expression is under stress from their shit job, or going through a relationship collapse, or dealing with a bereavement, or is suffering from depression, or any one of the many things that can really piss people off.  So telling someone in those circumstances to change their facial expression is not a good idea.  It may not be wise, it may not be helpful and it may not be welcome.

 

I don't expect others to poke their noses into my business.  You don't expect others to poke their noses into your business.  Why should that woman be any different?
