Right. So if you think someone else is hitting on your girlfriend...

[Deja Q]

What do you do, what do you do?

24 year old Anthony R Popke feels choice #5 is an appropriate response.

It's sad, really. I got beaten up by some cretin who claimed I was hitting on his girlfriend... :wtf: The difference is, it was only one punch in the eye and not a brutal assault.

Take anthony and throw the degenerate animal in the chair and be done with it.

1. New Year's Eve, 1989, I saw the exact same thing

Fortunately, the victim did not die, but he was in REALLY bad shape when we got him to the hospital.

What happened:
Perp thinks some "dude" is, get ready for it, LOOKING at his girlfriend. Perp is outside having a smoke, and spies the "dude" he THINKS was, remember, LOOKING at his girlfriend. Apparently, he cold cocks the victim and starts stomping him. We heard the commotion, ran outside, and grabbed the perp (who, of course, starts threatening all three of us until he realizes he is out-manned). Two of our crew held the perp until the cops arrived, while me, Mrs. Rat and the victim's wife sped him to the hospital. Of course, the victim was not even the "dude" the perp thought was, again, LOOKING at his girlfriend.

Perp got 3-5 years.

2. Talk to your girlfriend about it.

Chances are she just wants to talk to people. Or make some kind of gesture either go up to her and hold her hand or something.

[Deja Q]

3. I was talking hypothetical.

I have nobody and never will.

4. Oh don't say that!

I firmly believe that there are at least a ten thousand people crazy enough out there to date each one of us!

[izzybeans]

5. my wife knows how to handle this. She doesn't need my help...nor

a knight with rusty armor to come in a pummel the guy.

[Squeech]

6. How about

trusting your girlfriend to make her own decisions?

If she's not interested enough in you to dance with the one that brung her, why are you hanging out with her in the first place?

Just saying...

7. i totally agree

:thumbsup:

9. But that ruins the whole brutish ownership principle.

Do you realise how much of modern culture are we going to have to get rid of if we start to treat women as people in their own right?

Talking to other men is the thin end of the wedge - next they'll be driving their own cars, earning their own money - THEY MIGHT EVEN START TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES!


-surely nobody needs me to say it, but :sarcasm:

12. That was my thought

I guess this guy wasn't very confident his girlfriend would stay loyal to him!

8. 3 girls from my high school cornered me in a park home when I was 13.

One of them really wanted to beat the crap out of me over her boyfriend. :shrug: She got even more pissed off when I told he I had no idea who her boyfriend was. I was very lucky when one of the seniors from my school saw what was going on and stepped in to save me. Needless to say but I didn't go back to my favorite playground again. :( Growing up alone isn't easy.

10. Other: Let Her Flirt If She Wants

If she signals for me or makes that sort of 'get over here' eye contact, I'll walk over and just politely introduce myself, maybe start it with something like "Hey Hon, I couldn't reach him on the phone. Maybe he'll call."

Otherwise if she seems to be having an interesting time and I have other things I can do, I'll leave her be. A little flirtation never hurt noone, and does wonders for people's confidence. I know she's not going to go home with some other guy or anything, so if she has some flirting good for her. She's cute. She deserves guys to flirt with her.

I once had a guy threaten me for talking to his girlfriend. I talked him down though, apologized, and within a half hour he was buying me a beer. It's all about a calm demeanor.

[eyesroll]

11. If it was fun, he'd be watching with a shit-eating grin on his face.

Or maybe off flirting with someone else.

If I was sending him the "get me the hell out of here" look, he'd come over and say "hi, honey," kiss me, then introduce himself to the guy.

It's all good...

[XNASA]

13. I'd let the beard take care of it.

God forbid my wife should find out.

14. Before a lady gets to be my girlfriend

I'll have to be certain that she'll commit to me enough that this won't be an issue.

If she asks me to stop him, however,...

[JVS]

15. Shoot both of them!

;-)

[fleabert]

16. stay out of it, it has nothing to do with me. It is her issue, not mine.

if she asks for some assistance, then I would consider speaking with him on her behalf.

I would never ask my husband to fight my battles in this area. I can speak for myself, tyvm. If my husband beat up someone for hitting on me, I would consider divorcing him. Complete and total disregard for my autonomy as a person. I would likewise never consider speaking for him in the same situation. I consider it a compliment (on my taste in men) if my husband gets hit on. I trust him completely, and our relationship, a woman (or man for that matter) hitting on him has absolutely nothing to do with me.

17. This is why my husband and I don't go out to bars often

There's some scary people out there who get even scarier when they get drunk.
My husband has never beat up anyone over hitting on me. I do sort of wish that he would have talked to the guy who wanted me to strip for his friends and he, especially the second time he approached me, but I guess that it is good that we just left instead. I would personally be rather upset if he beat anyone up.
I don't think that anyone would beat him up, since he is a big and tall guy, but you never know what possessive drunk Neanderthals will do sometimes.

18. BTW: The key words are "If you think". Not "If you know".

Either way, physical violence as a response is the act of an animal and I can only assume some freepers were nice enough to respond accordingly. :rofl:
