I’m glad nothing happened? Sorry, I’m not sure I saw the point of this story...
The point is whatever you want it to be. An interesting story. Something both men and women can learn from. How to handle a manipulative creep.
You should try to always have somebody to accompany you. Even guys these days aren't so safe and even girls these days can be dangerous, it's not just guys you got to watch out for.
I have two daughters who I never let be out alone at night. For there are many who will hurt them. I do not want to sound ageist but more and more people do not know right from wrong. And too often cross the line they should never even get near
Better yet, teach your daughters self defense.
@snowangle i did, but it still does not fully protect them in many circumstances
I hope you are okay. It's a good take.
Thank you, I am :)
What in the hell is wrong with your head? U should have ignored him, walked away to a lighted spot and kept to yourself.
Never trust a stranger at nite, especially on the street. I saw what happened to some lady at a bar last nite, on her 36th birthday, and Into the woods she died, sliced up like a piece of meat. She trusted the wrong party poopers.
First of all there’s nothing wrong with me, thanks. Take that anger and direct it at the creep who followed me.
Second of all I already explained that 1) I don’t go out very often so I don’t think about these things constantly, 2) since I’m so used to people approaching me during the day to ask for directions, I acted on *pure* instinct, and 3) I think I still did a damn good job at getting rid of that creep without a scratch.
A wall of text. Uh... no.
Don't go out in the middle of the night. There. Fixed. :)
Nobody forced you to click on it.
Going out at night is a perfectly fine thing to do. What the guy following her did is the wrong thing to do.
@matchrestore thank you :)
@lumos Sure. At night I go to sleep anyway. Because I'm human. Do you sleep?
You are rather generous with your time. Should have been a conversation straight to the point, maximum 30 seconds.
Easy to say when you don't know what the reaction will be.
Well, apparently you decided right off the bat what your opinion of this guy was. If he was going to mug or rape you, do you think he would have changed his mind during the pillow talk you had?
To call it pillow talk is downright disgusting, he was talking at me and not with me. Even though I formed my opinion of him rather quickly, it doesn't mean that *he* wasn't scoping out the situation. You can't apply logic to a creep. One minute they might claim that they only want to get to know you but if you say or do the wrong thing they might fly off the handle. It isn't exactly unheard of that crazy situations like this can escalate and result in a dramatic ending because of a step in the wrong direction.
So, everybody is a creep until proven otherwise. An interesting way to live.
This is just sad
People who say this kind of shit probably have never experienced it themselves.
Don't put words in my mouth. The first few seconds I didn't consider him a creep because I genuinely thought that he was asking for directions, and even though it was 3 am and I was walking alone, my initial response was "oh, he needs help" not "oh what a creep". He became a creep to me when he jumped off his bike and basically let me know that there was no point to him asking for directions and that it was just a way for him to trap me into a conversation.
Stop trying to twist my words to fit your own agenda.
@ShesAmerican my thoughts exactly.
Someone wanting to make conversation with you makes them a creep? I get it was 3 in the morning, but by your logic you're a creep for even being out 3 in the morning. Why weren't you on a bike? Creep.
@lovelyhoneybones bye
@lovelyhoneybones Yeah that's basically the logic used today.. Couldn't say he was a creep for trynna keep the convo goin, had to say he was one just cause he used his direction askin as an excuse to talk to her.. LOL.. SMH..
@ShesAmerican Or maybe they did experienced it a lot, and don't make a mountain out of a molehill.. And not experienced it 2 or 3 times, and think it's the scariest thing that's ever happened to them..
@JDavid25 he was a creep because he approached me at 3 am. Who even does that? Then he even specifically said that he could take advantage of the situation. And tried to guilt trip me into giving him my contact information because he had been such a ”gentleman” for following me home in the middle of the night.
If you think that sort of behavior is acceptable, I don’t even want to know who raised you.
By your own words you didn't care about your own safety, hence my original point.
I didn’t care about my own safety for a split second when he was being hypocritical and pissed me off.
@JDavid25 ok and? everybody has different reactions to different things, we're allowed to feel whatever the hell we wanna feel bc it's OUR experience and it's lumos' experience since it happened to her and you don't have the right to invalidate her shit
I'm sure as hell if anybody went outside at 3 am and some creep ass didn't respect their privacy and kept following them they'd feel terrified aswell, regardless how many times they've experienced it it's still a scary experience
@ShesAmerican ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
💗💗
@lumos.. You do realize the meanin of a creep right.. It's a detestable person.. So him approachin you at 3am doesn't make him one.. He's weird for doin it yes, and I wouldn't do it.. But he's not a creep for approachin you at that time.. & Well, I wasn't talkin about that part.. He's obviously a douchebag.. A guy guilt tripped my mother in front of her kids because she didn't want to give him her number.. So I understand that point.. Once again you guys are pointin me in a direction I never said I was goin.. Just because I disagree on the details or the way you went about the subject don't mean I find what he did acceptable at all.. It's just jot as extreme as you make it out to be.. He wasn't plannin to hurt you, he was goin overboard, and doin weird ish.. & Yes he was speakin out the side of his neck..
@JDavid25 he was a creep. Non-creeps don't approach strangers in the middle of the night and pretend to need directions just to talk. Non-creeps don't push someone for their contact information.
And although I left this out of the take, I might as well say it now. I had a pair of bunny ears in my hand that I'd worn to the party, because it was animal-themed. They didn't fit in my purse but I took them off and held them in my hand on my way home. While he was following me, he asked me in a very perverted way if I could put the bunny ears back on *for him*. I made up an excuse and told him that they had given me a headache. He did many subtle things like that, that in the end made me feel like he was just a huge creep. I don't see how you think any of what I've said is extreme when I'm merely explaining what happened to me.
@JDavid25 it's about HER, she experienced this and if anybody went through the same thing they'd feel the same way as her. I don't know why some of the men on this comment section are being like this lmao we can feel whatever we want whatever happens to us, if it hurts us or upsets us or frightens us you shouldn't invalidate it just because it doesn't seem like a big deal
Oh goodie, further details. Bunny ears. Just be glad you are alright, woman. Quit complaining and exagerrating. You were never in any actual danger.
No, you quit coming back to my take if you can't handle me feeling this way. Nothing you say will invalidate my experience and my feelings. Buh-bye.
Yikes! A guy you aren't attracted to actually spoke to you. Oh, the humanity! But if he had been a proper Chad, you would have blown him right there on the street. Where have all the good men gone? They're hiding from you're falsely accusatory asses, that's where.
I LOVE people like you who can't seem to even fathom what it's like being a weaker person walking back home in the middle of the night.
How would you respond if a body builder who's a meter taller than you came up to you at 3am hitting on you with a guise of 'protecting you while walking home'?
Sounds amazing to you?
It should... seeing your disposition...
@LittleSally If I was so afraid of strangers, I wouldn't be walking alone at 3 a. m. to begin with.
This wasn’t just about him talking to me. It was him following me in the middle of the night, trying to manipulate me into giving him personal info and then getting upset when I didn’t want to give it. Regardless of what time it is, that’s not ok. And any guy with any common sense knows it’d a bad idea to approach strangers in the middle of the night, much less girls who are obviously going to be wary of you.
I’m not falsely accusing him of anything. Although nothing bad happened, his body language was quite threatening, especially when he told me that he *could* take advantage of the situation.
Don’t comment if you’re not gonna read the entire take.
@LittleSally Is in love! I'm gonna spread this news in G@G town XD
So... no answer on my original question?
So... you admit you're a feeble minded little boy?
@LittleSally I'm pretty sure I answered your question, sweetie pie. Or did you want a specific response to how I would react if a 9 foot tall man talked to me when I was out somewhere I shouldn't have been in the first place? I would probably ask to take his picture.
next time when you are late just open any mobile app and order a taxi
I had some gay people following me in the light of day whenever I was walking around a certain area, this is when I found out that it was a hot spot for gay people.
I think a lot of these precious people should just not go out on the streets. Or get a car. it can be really dangerous out there, there are a lot of crazies, and they seem ill equipped to handle it. i mean, yeah, you create a police state with lots of laws and you can keep this shit under control but not all of us are as scared and unable to handle ourselves in the streets at night. I guess a police state would take better care stopping everyone from doing everything but most of us don;t need one so maybe they should just not hang around at night if they don;t like it
You did the right thing, that is to say you coped well with the situation. Next time go with a friend or take a cab. You shouldn't be walking the streets alone at night.
The second you felt uncomfortable why didn't you tell him "please leave me alone"?
she was scared he was dangerous. There was another mistake she made. But I'll write that in my opinion rn
Like I said a few times in the take, I didn’t know this guy. I didn’t know his personality and how he would react. Even saying something as simple as ”please leave me alone” could get a creep to completely fly off the handle. He even got upset with me because I wanted to walk the remaining bit home alone. He ranted at me for 5 minutes just because I didn’t want to give my #. Who knows how he would have reacted if I’d just told him to leave me alone.
@dizmuhjam Why are we nitpicking her for the mistakes she made? Although walking alone at night should be avoided by both genders, it is sometimes unavoidable. For example, I was only able to sign up for night classes this next semester. I am going to have to walk home alone, and if I want to get my degree I don't have choice.
@Nate1941 you're 19. you probably have a drivers licsense by now. So you can drive.
Also I know that Im strict like that and maybe its not the best way to treat a victim. But its my way of showing love and that I was worried to my sister. She knows me well enough by now. She knows that I am like that only because I love her and care about her savety. You dont know me as a Person. Thats why all you see in my texts is some dude nitpicking.
@dizmuhjam Are you really the OP's brother?
English can't be your mother tongue if you ask me this question and Im too tired of this MyTake. I won't be answering anymore
He isn't. I'm not quite sure what he's talking about.
@dizmuhjam
"you're 19. you probably have a drivers licsense by now. So you can drive."
Yes I can drive. Too bad I live in a dorm that is located on the other side of campus so I will have to walk for a long ways in the dark to get there. But that wasn't the point of me giving the example. My point is that walking alone at night is not always avoidable and I don't want people blaming me if something bad happens. Apparently, judging by many of these comments, the first thing people do is start correcting the victims. Even if they don't know the victim personally.
Sure you should take precautions if you can, but you can't always do that.
@Nate1941 okay. Sorry. You're done now?
@dizmuhjam I was never ranting and I hope it didn't come across that way. I am just trying to explain my situation.
yey!.. Lumos is still safe and active
at moment's like this, i wish like tony stark i could send Mark42 , which en-capsules you and then drops you at your destination slowly and steadily..
Is it weird that I have had that exact same thought? lol
While I was watching iron man I just kept thinking how nice it would be to have a metal suit surround you at the click of a button. No more fears!
@Nate1941 i have already decided, if i every had a girlfriend or daughter's
they would have their own defense suit's made out of scales of metal.
and another click that purse will transform into a close range weapon for defense..
Send me one when you invent it! haha
@Nate1941 we will just need to miniaturized " Radioisotope thermoelectric generator " and combine with " Wide-bandgap semiconductor " technology and there you have it!..
Simple! Can you complete it in a week?
@Nate1941 i could but i lack resources and time!..
besides i am working on other better design, i need a special kind of Optical coupler 1 x 5.
Remember those laser toys , take around 25 of those laser pens
modify them to capability to make it strong enough using this trick www.instructables.com/.../
Then couple those burning laser beams from 25 toys , using optical coupler of 1 x 5, you will get 5 lasers, which will be 5 times stronger,
then user another coupler of 1 x 5,
which will give you a new beam which will be approximately 25 times stronger stuff then on
www.instructables.com/.../
now combine all those lasers each of them with a circuit of powerful taser , the power output will be equivalent to high voltage discharge of 25 tasers which can vaporize, things pretty good..
Special thing about this weapon will be it will have a really long range of like 10km ,
it will hit its target in less then 1 second.
and bulletproof glass cannot stop it.
wow! That sounds cool. Best of luck! I hope you don't vaporize yourself in process of building this weapon. jk
But seriously, your idea sounds interesting.
@Nate1941
it won't be a grenade, just a beam of like radius 0.2 cm , like the one in the arm's of Stark's suit, of course not miniaturized like him, but equally effective.. and the thinner the beam the stronger it can be
It's not the best idea for a women to go out at 3 am by herself, infact it's stupid yes that guy was a creep but you put yourself in that situation.
I hope this situation doesn't make you hate men even more, but at the end of the day ll you should be a bit more smarter, perhaps uber, taxi call a friend.
HE put me in that situation.
Yeah but what im saying is you shouldn't be out at that time. Like i know it's not a good idea to go on a holiday to Syria. So i won't go.
I should be able to do whatever the fuck I want.
I wouldn't go to Syria either. I understand what you mean. I grew up in the ghetto so going out at a certain time could get you jumped or shot. Every young buy who was smart enough and not part of a gang would be home by 10 or not hang out in the rough side of the street pass a certain time because he could get killed or jumped. Our new generation doesn't understand that we should be able to do whatever we want but the forget that criminals don't care, that's why they are criminals. W rate s society that doesn't understand reality. I wouldn't also a Jaguar or a lion but some people will say I should be able to do whatever it want then get eaten by the Jaguar or lion. Life isn't a fairy tale and many don't understand this. That's why avoid contact with people on the street and only talk to people who understand danger and self preservation
You can do whatever you want but if you can avoid this happening or reduce your chances of getting hurt then you should. It's like locking your door when you go out. If you don't and you get burgled then it's not your fault, but it could've helped stop it
@Kathee if any of y’all had read my conclusion of the take you would not sit here and tell me stuff I obviously already know. I’m getting real tired of people talking to me like I only have half a brain.
People aren't an extension of you and you can't control them by force. Not out on the streets. You have to have your wits about you
I have walked on the streets alone multiple times at night, but nothing happened. But it happened... in the day.
So what we'll do? We'll never go out alone?
That's creepy.
I'm a guy and I don't even walk the streets alone at night.
I would be there for a few weeks if I were to go again, so I would be there in the middle of the night as well.
You talked about the same experience three or more times.
Sorry?
Is it wrong for a person to spread a story?
@RedMatch not even the point, the point is that It's redundant. That's all.
I’ve only told some of my friends and family irl. On here I’ve mentioned it a couple of times in the comments. But every time I wrote a comment about it, I realized that it was difficult to give a condensed version with such a tight character limit. So instead, I figured I’d just write about it all in a myTake.
Nobody forced you to click on it.
The point is not how I feel about it. I'm just pointing out that in a literary standpoint, the story was getting redundant. I never said it was either good or bad.
99% of the people on this site probably never even saw my comments.
Maybe don't talk to someone you don't want to for 20 minutes? If you didn't want him to walk with you, then why did you let him? You're talking about how "scared" you were, but yet you brought him close to where you live?
Did you even read the take?
She's the victim here, how dare you talk to her like that.
That's sarcasm by the way.
@lovelyhoneybones lmao
Creepy, glad things didn't get worse
