itt a strange man asks if you saw the ass on that one

...this thread

yeah maybe it was a mistake :(

smh...only ilx can fail to see the humor in perfectly normal occurrences

xp no! the key word is "strange man"...that's where the humor is, not in the "yeah dude DIME imo!" *hi five*

xp nah dude it is not your fault it's actually an interesting question and yr poll responses were solid

whew

i really sort of love stuff like this, though, in life. not the creeping i mean but the sheer left-fieldedness

"a creep said x to me" thread goes nowhere

"a creep said x to me DO YOU AGREE Y/N POLL" komedy gold!

basically the way i read the question is like you're walking outta the dry cleaner and some random dude decides to tell you he thinks the chick across the parking lot's got a nice ass. which is just funny in its absurdity, not the whole homosocial let's mark our territory kind of thing

tbf thinking a chick is hot is not sexist, its expressing it in a way that creates a negative environment so they're not quite parallel

this otm, duh

the strange man is the key part of this poll, not the ass

o jeez guys

which is just funny in its absurdity, not the whole homosocial let's mark our territory kind of thing

right!

haha yeah i love running into moron fuckheads if they aren't harming me in any way

once i was in a hurry to get to a movie. my friend ran into a gas station to use the atm. the guy in front of him opened up a brand new credit card out of the envelope, plugged it into the machine and withdrew several hundred dollars. he turned to my friend and said something like "dude do you see this? fuckin awesome!!" and then split. he cashed the atm out, it was out of order after that. we had to go somewhere else.

that dude did harm me come to think

ok "do you see this fuckin awesome" is hilarious

strange dude is no creep. he's just being a good citizen and making sure i get a chance to check out that ass, just in case i missed it.

yeah the true creep says something to the chick about her ass.

I have never considered a girl's ass my "territory"

well there are all kinds of true creeps to be fair

i can't imagine saying to a woman i don't know at all "i enjoy looking at your ass"

but a woman youre acquainted with

yeah i still wouldn't say it

But y'know, fuck it, I'm not gonna froth at the mouth when some dude says it to me (like he'd ever say it now).

yeah yr right he DOES have a kid now

i'll be like thanks strange dude and then give him a thumbs up or down after i've made my assessment.

he, he assessment

lol ASSessment

i think it is acceptable to tell someone yr acquainted with that you enjoy looking at their ass! i mean, if the terms of your acquaintance are such that admiring their ass is an acceptable and even desirable thing!

is this related to singing 'feelin on yo booty' in public at all?

yeah but see i'm not really an ass man

i can't imagine saying to a woman i don't know at all "i enjoy looking at your ass"

I can, if she is leading a donkey by the reins and I am actually a character in a "Naked Gun" movie.

I don't understand how anyone who spends any amount of time here could be surprised about the outcome of this poll; this comment up thread is basically OTM with the caveat that turning it into an anecdote makes it easier to sockpuppet the original dude into a harmless creep: it's like a real life WS thread but with horrible men no one else wants to talk to

where is the option for 'back that ass up'

i like how you verbed sockpuppet xpost

braggin: girl who was friends with my roommate a few years ago apparently described me as "he doesn't talk much but he's got a cute ass and I can't help but stare at it." I have no problem with this afaik.

"pics or it didn't happen"

turning it into an anecdote makes it easier to sockpuppet the original dude into a harmless creep

well yeah

honestly i was just hoping ppl would post their own, weird interactions with strangers sharing their opinions

that aren't reposts from ilx

heyo

tbh I have no idea which side dan took with that post

what about if the ass the strange man is referring to is his own?

ok that would be hilarious

"did you see the ass on that one?" *points to self*

lmao I wish ppl would do this ^

Oh I was trolling to a large degree, no doubt.

no one cares if it was yr gf or sister :/

was mostly joking when i said that btw
i, for one, am not taking this poll seriously

when guys do this, they're doing it instead of actually approaching the women, it's kind of weird and almost passive-aggressive maybe.

I'll tell a story I love that's relevant here (and b/c though I want to contribute to this thread, I dare not in any other way; it's a tinderbox)

Le Corbusier was at a party with his wife, Yvonne Gallis. She's an odd duck. She's bored at the party, so she walks up to one of the guests and says "L'avez-vous vu ?" [Have you seen it?] The guest doesn't know what she's talking about, and says, "Qui?" She replies, "Mon cul!" [My ass!].

I use that line all the time now, on my generous and loving wife. It never fails to crack me up (my wife is tolerant).

My driving instructor was also a female friend's driving instructor. One day, on learning that we knew each other, he said "That girl's got some HEALTHY legs, don't she?"

think this is a better answer than it being about "ownership" (???)

i mean the only guys who have ever done this ime are guys who i figure to be completely, 100% lost around women, so they deal with them through trying to find some common ground with other guys, like "hey we're all in this together, right?"

Pretty sure that it's more common than you think? Much like whatsits in your thingy.

lol omar, thx for explaining the impulse behind the WS threads on 77 so succinctly

trying not to wince at "whatists in your thingy"

I pass guys pretty reg who are discussing other women walking around. So it's not said TO me but I think it's common. Also have had guy friends tell me they're walking w a friend or GF and having strange men congratulate THEM on the female companion's rack/ass/etc.
