How about that Shoshana Roberts - Page 7

I finally watched the 2 minute video linked on page one. Everything on it is extremely mild. I suspect she put the worst ones she found in the 10 hours of video, to make her point and all. Only one that I found creepy was the guy who followed her for 5 minutes. Even that one did not look that bad. Given that the video is edited, no way to tell what really happened on that one.

That is a fairly obese, angry looking young woman If I saw her walking down the street, I would ask her if she was okay, because she certainly looked like something had her very upset. I have a tendency to ask people if they are okay if they look like they are not. Other than that, not somebody I would give a second look, or even much of a first look.

It certainly appears that more brown guys chatted her up than white guys. I would attribute that to taste, more than a racial proclivity toward that sort of activity, but who knows, the video is edited. The latino and black guys I know seem to go for the chunky gals with big asses, not me at all. I go for the ones that are a bit more fit, like something that Vinnie posts in the various threads dedicated to that stuff. Champion gymnast, yes, beer belly girl from a rap video, not so much.

No, I am not posting up any pictures or videos of my daughter and yes, she is a lot prettier than the woman in the video, but I am biased.

I guess she just is a snob, who is full of herself, for no reason that I can see.

lets see..
tights so tight you can see backed-upped farts....
sporting cameltoe..
and lots of acreage in back..

and she's offended..
LOL..
enjoy it before folks realize their partially blind...

Their stated goal was to make men look bad. They edited 10 hours to the worst two minutes and this is all they got. Seems somewhat positive to me. In an interview, she said she walks the same streets all the time. Likely some of them knew her or thought they did.

I always say hello to people I regularly see on my daily walk, always. I guess it is abusive sexual harassment to say, "good morning."

I thought the video would be longer, it was 10 hours of raw video. I wonder how long it took to edit it down to 2 minutes.

That's because Bill Clinton was not in town....

Wouldn't surprise me if some of the men are actors , and parts were staged/scripted.

This video was the product of 'Rob Bliss Creative' - A viral video agency........

When I said "we", that means every swinging d-ck.

And your right...we are ALL on our own to take responsibility just like my son will when he leaves home and I'm shoveled into my grave.

They are both a joke. My earlier comments were pertaining to women being harassed in general by creeps, I've obviously offended some creeps here.

oldschoollear · 11-03-2014, 06:44 PM

Lol no, the first one was absolutely not a joke.

Once again, Ryan Gosling or someone like him is not walking around in a Village People costume. That is some weird fantasy for the sake of a strawman argument. Has any woman ever cat-called a dude in the world? Surely it's happened but the differential in strength between men and women completely negates the comparison in terms of possible fear and intimidation for the receiver of said cat-call.

Or do you think that women should really feel flattered and appreciated when some creep yells schit at them on the street?? Some really brave and/or fed-up women tell the guy to fk-off but that carries a great risk. They could be opening themselves up to being assaulted, at least verbally if not physically. Just for walking down the GD street.

But of course it would be no different for your hypothetical dude in no shirt.

This is more a story about what you do with a BA in theater from Kutztown University while your peers are at work.

The girl claims to have a black belt...and she clearly had weight on most of the punks that said hello...seems she had nothing to worry about.

If only she had been a white guy:

We just have a different interpretation of the video. I believe you that you'd greet the hot chick because you greet most everyone but I don't think that applies to the guys in this video. There is another type of guy out there, first he pours on the phony saccharin, then when the woman does not play along, he gets nasty in the flip of a switch. I could tell endless stories from a life of having attractive sisters and mother plus a hot GF or two. These guys are nothing like you.

I appreciate that, speeder!

I'm just trying to be a polite, mannered, and pleasant person in an increasingly impolite, ill mannered, bitter and unpleasant world.

I was never any good at cheapass tired pick up lines anyway. I wasn't raised to be that way to anyone.
My father would be very upset if he heard me pipe off with that "$1000" comment. This is what kinda dictates my behavior in such situations, what he would have thought about how I acted to a stranger.

You never know when that stranger may be an angel...
Sorry if I PARFed that up...
