    Im a taxi driver in London and i have experienced this too from men, im a straight guy. It proper sucks , but if one reacts then your classed as homophobic. I have had women hit on me too, but with them its much more subtle but you kinda know you're getting hit on when the conversation goes way deeper than just surface chat. I don't like to mix business with pleasure, so i do appreciate when ppl who do chat just keep things on the surface
    Surface chat - is when they just talk about current events in news or whatever, the weather, traffic, they say they have a bf or husband without you asking. Convo moves slower , quite big gaps in conversion
    Deeper convos - they ask more personal questions, they say they're single without you asking, they say they live alone . Some even straight out say you're attractive. Etc Convo seems to move at like a 100mph and no gaps to even speak yourself 😂

Everything we say these days is taken as homophobic. 20 years ago they would have to hide their sexuality. Now we have chose to accept them into society, we've overindulged them to the extent that they are so entitled. The man said he was straight ten times but the gay guy continued to sexual harrass him. If the guy was anymore firm, he would be considered homophobic. Stop making excuses for these people

    • @aTreeMadeMeDoIt
      @aTreeMadeMeDoIt 2 місяці тому

      ​@@SaltySeattleCyclist I appreciate you being able to empathize with women regarding this type of situation. Recently, I had a male friend say, "it sure seems like you worry about being murdered a lot." Kind of funny, but sadly, kind of true. I don't feel especially vulnerable or have a victim mentality. It's not really about me, it's that some people are odd ducks and some are just depraved. Often, you have only seconds to decide which you're dealing with. So many violent crimes against women and children are crimes of opportunity. So we are told to be aware at all times. Be vigilant in a way that I don't think many men know is happening. You learn to park under light posts in the store parking lot. Check to see if anyone is in your back seat before getting back in your car. Don't park next to vans with sliding doors because the door could open and you could be pulled in in a blink of an eye and no one would notice - even in broad daylight. Do you think I want to have to be on high alert when I go jogging? Would I rather have earbuds in and be listening to music while running? Yes, but that makes me less aware of my surroundings, so I don't do it. Do you think I want to be on high alert because a weird man just got in the elevator with me, is standing unnervingly close and wants to make conversation? I can't simply say, I don't feel like talking to you guy. You have to humor people in these scenarios ("fawn" response) for fear of making a man that's unknown to you mad or inciting violence. We are taught to "Use the buddy system" when you walk home from a party or bar at night. I don't like being involuntarily thrown into "fight or flight" mode because I'm alone in a parking garage and a male figure walks out of the dark towards me. It's not fun for us I promise you. It's engrained in most women from childhood- "Listen when your intuition is telling you that you're in a dangerous situation". To do that, you always have to be listening/on alert. That's sad. Many women also have the extra hurdle of being taught to "be nice" and they are afraid to be rude, mean, or "hurt someone's feelings", when interacting with a person who makes them feel unsure or unsafe. That can be especially true when a man is ostensibly being nice or helpful - like the guy that offers to help carry your groceries into your apartment. Of course I don't think I should let a random dude into my building, let alone my apartment. It's difficult for a lot of women to adamantly decline in the moment when you're taken off guard and someone is pushing to be "helpful" and not taking the hint or listening to your words when you politely say no thank you. I know these feelings AREN'T exclusive to women and that men are also victims of sexual harassment and violent crimes. I was just taken aback when my male friend would so easily be willing to put himself in a situation that would be a total red flag to every woman. Anyway, I appreciated your acknowledgment. Sometimes it's just nice to be "seen". To the majority of men, who I know are the good guys, you can also help by taking notice when you see a person in a vulnerable situation. Stand by in case things go sideways. Sometimes just your presence could deter a creep from being creepy. I've rambled on here. Clearly, I was a bit triggered by seeing ​@SaltySeattleCyclist being spoken to in this way as well as being touched. It was strangely enlightening to see a male in this type of situation. Thanks for posting and stay safe out there! :)

    That was tough to watch! I feel for you. Please do not be hard on yourself for not being rude or aggressive, or kicking him out. In my opinion YOU deescalating the situation as much as you could is the only reason why this video wasn’t worse. You did such a good job!! You should be proud of yourself for in these terrible moments you made it through while dealing with a hostile client. Guaranteed any aggressive tones or you even trying to kick him out would’ve ended badly!

      Hard disagree. He didn't deescalate the situation, but rather encouraged it to continue by answering nearly all of the guy's questions, admitting he'd been given a BJ by another man before, etc. He fed right into the creep's desires by revealing more about himself, and even his past experiences. The best thing to have done would be to give him the silent treatment and make it abundantly clear early on that you had no interest whatsoever in having a conversation of that nature. Stand your ground. Don't let others control and manipulate you.

    Report the guy so you don't have to give rides to him anymore. He should be banned. Also, grow a backbone. You should have told him not to bring that crud up anymore. Instead he just forged ahead with the bs because you didn't shut him down. "No means no, and if you continue with that bs, you will be walking."
