| Quote | | So, should I have been offended by the blond's offer to come home with her? Should I have made a public issue of it? (Remember, at that point she had known me for an hour or so and still had no idea whether I might be married, gay, or just didn't like blonds.) Should I have done so when other women have offered me something, including sex? Does my being a guy matter? If so, why exactly? |
I won't comment on the whole EG thing, mainly because i stopped reading about it after the first few posts and comments.
But I guess I can answer you here. I'm a woman. If I had been in the situation you described (with the "tall blonde" being a tall blonde guy, obviously), I wouldn't have gotten in the car with him. My alarm bells would've starting ringing the moment he followed me to the other bar. If he had insisted on getting me into his car, he probably would've freaked me out enough to call a taxi to get to my car. He had been able to find me before, after all. You might be able to fight of a woman, but I'm not necessarily able to fight of a tall guy.
You might've found the situation strange or slightly uncomfortable, I don't know, but you don't sound as if at any moment you were afraid about your well-being. I, on the other hand, would've been seriously freaked out and felt threatened.
Depending on the situation, the guy in the elevator would've creeped me out, too.
And I can't really see why it's so terrible to point that out. It's a useful information, is it not, to know that if you want to have a chance, not to ask a woman in a situation that might make her feel threatened.
