Yes, AFAICT the allegations are that several women didn't like being hit on by him, that he made sexual comments they did not like. He seems like a jerk, but giving him the Trotsky treatment seems pretty extreme.
Greetings!
Hey S'mon! You know, I'm not trying to sound dense, but I'm having a hard time fully understanding how making an approach to a woman becomes some a constant powder keg of "creepy" jackass stupidity by these kinds of men. What is it? Why is hitting on a woman so fucking difficult for these fucksticks, you know?
I was at a mall one time, during my years in the Marine Corps. I approached this smoking hot woman, probably 10 to 14 years older than me at the time. Killer body, dressed wonderful. I'd guess she was 28-35 years old. I greeted her, told her she was gorgeous, and I'd love to buy her lunch. (Nice restaurants were everywhere in this slick, up-scale mall). I stared at her, smiled, obviously pleased with how she looked, how she was dressed, hell, she even smelled delicious. She got all warm and friendly, huge smile, but embarassed. She joined me at a nearby coffee thing, and she thanked me for approaching her. She was hugely flattered, but she sadly!--had to decline, as she was married, with two children. (I hadn't noticed a wedding band on her; Later, I realized, fuck, it was right there). I cheerfully apologised to her, as I didn't realise she was married. This woman insisted on buying me coffee and lunch! LOL. She told me that I had made her feel wonderful, and she knew I'd have a fine girlfriend anytime soon. I spent a few hours hanging out with her. She was very nice. Finally, she had to be getting home. She thanked me again, and kissed me. I then went on my way, soon to meet up with some buddies coming down by train from our base. I have to say, it was the *best* rejection of my life. LOL. I told my buddies about what happened, and they all laughed. They all knew, damn, bro! If she wasn't married, and had such strong morals--she would have devoured you! LOL. Oh well, you know? I thought it was cute, and I respected her. I had no intention or desire to sex up a married woman. While quite impressed with her beauty, and me being gregarious and friendly, I made it clear to her I didn't realise she was married, and I meant no offense whatesoever.
This woman didn't have some weird fucking meltdown because I openly and boldly hit on her. I also didn't act fucking retarded for being couteously rejected. Any good man knows how to accept such with dignity and grace, and when required, even a sense of humour, which I did. Similar such things periodically happened with my friends as well. All acted like gentlemen.
Of course, I'm wondering, when did women lose the grace, humour, and dignity to know how to courteously reject a man's advances, smile, laugh, and move on?
I feel sorry, a bit, for younger men nowadays. Geesus, when I was 18, my buddies and I would be at our E-Club--it was a nightclub though, and Wednesdays through Sundays was *PACKED* wall to wall with young Marines, and hordes of women and young girls. We would often dance, drink with, and hit on DOZENS of women every night like that. It doesn't mean we always got together with a particular woman, though. Preferences and all. No big deal. Some say no, for whatever reasons, and lots of others are eager to say yes. The women came to our club wanting to drink, dance, and get hooked up. They loved dancing, chatting, and being oggled and stared at by dozens of buffed Marines, all hanging out, drinking and smoking, and watching the women like hungry fucking lions! You know what I'm saying? This was a normal, routine ritual we went through. Not all, but most Marines I hung out with, we always had more women than we could handle. Geesus, so many women, we had to beat them off with a stick! LOL. Depending on if we were in with a girl and what not, we often had to say no and reject happy, frisky girls coming on to us. That's the way it goes, you know? Normal fucking reality in dating, and swooping on each other. That's right. Us men hunt the women, and are looking to swoop down on them. LOL. SO ARE THE WOMEN! LOL. We knew that too. The women would tell you, yeah, they came there that night with a car full of their girlfriends to go hunting for some fucking hot Marines! That always made us roar with laughter, too. That was how the game went.
When the hell did fun and humour get cut out of flirting and dating? Damn, I swear our society has gone fucking insane!
Semper Fidelis,
