Nick took me out stargazing. He set out a blanket and we stretched out on our backs. He pointed out several constellations and I asked him if he could see the big dipper.
"I'll show you a big dipper," he replied, and pushed close against me.
I pushed him away and stood up. "Take me home now," I told him.
"What the heck?" he asked as if he hadn't just tried to overpower me. Was this guy really that much of an idiot?
Nevertheless, he rolled up the blanket and drove me home.
The big dipper got its butt handed to it that night.
Seriously. Somehow I doubt that the kind of guy who would take a girl "star gazing" is going to try and "overpower" her. It's a joke. Loosen up.
ReplyDeleteIf this was a first date, then it was forward. If this was your boyfriend, which I doubt, then yes, lighten up.
ReplyDeleteI agree with JMG on this. It does sound like a first date though and if I'm right then good job putting a stop to that creep's idea of fun. Sorry guys, but good luck finding a woman who is going to "loosen up" about any "joke" that involves a guy on a date jumping on her while stargazing or otherwise. I for one am a pretty laid back gal but if some guy did that to me, getting kicked in the balls would have been the best case result for him.
ReplyDeletelol, "overpower" you. He made a very unsmooth move and you kneed him in the balls. Dick.
ReplyDeleteI would have made the bitch walk.
ReplyDeleteYou volleyed...he spiked....asking to see the big dipper was too perfect of an opening...
ReplyDeleteGood thing you didn't ask him to point out Uranus!
Being a girl with a sense of humor and all--if I don't want a man on top of me, then he will get kneed in the balls. It's not something you just do. The joke was fine, just pointed out what an immature ass he really was.
ReplyDeleteAnd, immature men who are posting on this blog-how would you have any idea what it feels like to be overpowered by a man unless it has happened to you? What, you just give it up willingly to big guys who ask for it? Well, good for you.
Yeah, if she didn't know the guy that well, what he did would be kinda scary!! Some stranger rolling on top of me is a little too close for comfort.
ReplyDeleteAnd I know it sounds like a joke, but it doesn't sound like the guy was joking or he would have said so! He sounds like a cheese ball. Come on people, star gazing?? Cheese!
She did the right thing. If he tried to force her into anything, he deserved it. The joke was fine, the overpowering/forcing was not.
ReplyDeleteNothing about this except for the girl's description of being "overpowered" suggests that he used any physical force. He rolled on top of her - if she specifically said that he pinned down her arms or something to that effect, maybe the argument could be used. But surely the ladies here have had someone try to kiss them in a manner like this without resorting to attacking his junk.
ReplyDeleteNope, and I'm HOT, lol.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we use our words next time? Kicking in the nads...that's like last resort, right there!
ReplyDeleteWow a creepy dude rolls on top of the girl and everyone jumps on her case...
ReplyDelete@dragynally: That's the internet for you. Where anything is okay and all women should just "lighten up" and take it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the commenter that said the cunt would be walking home. You could have just said "No."
ReplyDeleteHe took her stargazing...
ReplyDeleteHe didn't punch her in the face after getting knee'd in the balls...
He even drove her home afterwards...
I give this guy the Nobel Peace Prize. As for the OP, she is a drama queen with a violent temper. If he was really trying to "overpower" her then why didn't he continue the attack? If she felt so threatened why did she ride home with him? This story doesn't really add up based on the way it is written. It would have made much more sense from his point of view than hers, he was the one with the bad experience.
Damn shame is that we fellows can't do better than calling this girl a cunt or a bitch in order to criticize her response. Really? Do you seriously think that is going to get your point across well? I do believe, based on her description, the she over-reacted and it's really too bad it had to go down that way as his awkward move might have been rebuffed without such a violent reaction. Don't kid yourself gals- getting kicked in the balls is an incredibly painful and potentially damaging assault so your justifying it also is a little hard to read. Everything about this story feels like an over-reaction; from the guy going too far on what he saw as an opening to the girls violent reaction and perhaps especially, the posted responses to it. We all need to learn to stop and take a breath before we act (or react) sometimes!
ReplyDeleteComsidering the fact that 1 in 6 women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes and that 73% of the victims knew the attacker then you could understand why she was reacted that way considering they were stargazing (which would have to be in an unpopulated place to see the stars). Although this story reads like a bad high school experience with lots of hormones raging and not much common sense both ways.
ReplyDeleteRemember: don't start some there won't be none!
1 in 6 still means 5 won't be. I like them odds.
ReplyDelete@ Anon above -- A mom, a daughter, an older sister, a little sister, a cousin, an Aunt. 1 will be assualted, 5 wont be. Still like those odds?
