Haha funniest joke I've heard in a while xD

This happened when I was out with my friend (I'm a guy, she's a girl), and this guy kept putting his arm around her waist, regardless of her moving it FIVE times. Eventually, I could see he wouldn't let up, and she was just trying to ignore him, so I had to go up and explain that if a girl moves your hand off her waist, she ain't interested. The worst part? He thought I was only saying this because I was her boyfriend - as in, a friend can't legit just recognize that women are people too... Guys, can we all have one of those secret meeting and discuss what's okay and what's not?

Try your direct supervisor touching you. Not fun. I had to directly ask him to stop. Im not a touchy feely person. If i want to touch you i will. Otherwise dont touch me. And its all about body language and emotional intelligence. Its not that hard to tell who is attracted to you and who isnt. I have another story about being touched randomly. My mom was buying a sofa set. I worked a night shift at the time so i was pretty tired. I was sitting on a stool by the check out counter when someone behind me started to rub my shoulders like a massage. I was so tired i remained calm but i thought wtf is happening right now?? It ended up being a guy that worked there i think he actually owned the place. He was much older than me because he spoke about being in Vietnam. We talked for a bit. He realized i was a wise soul. So i remember him telling my mom after the sale "never let her go". It was just weird. I mean. Going up and massaging a perfect stranger? Come on now. Even im not that forward

And in this case, we are making it obvious, but sometimes, things are on the fringe of everything, of friendship, of 'clean' flirts, of simple and 'legal' casual approach and so on so you can easily become the victim target of their game by reversing the 'grudge' and 'misjudging' on your part (o0) when actually you were probably right about it. No need for drama, just simple honesty and clear humor to lay off and not try this kind of move again or they will leave you no choice but to deal with it maybe a bit more harshly next time XD But yeah, a lot of people are dumb and although education cannot replace intelligence, it's hard sometime to deal with their lack of intelligence.

I'd add that if you don't want to get into an explaination of why this bothers you, just say "it's a long story, but could you please not touch me". this ques the man that A. you don't want to be touched and B. you don't want to have to explain why. Any decent human will accept and respect that. there could be many reasons you don't want to be touched, prior abuse, skin conditions that cause sensitivity, etc... and the reason is unimportant. but handling it this way does the job perfectly well, without accusing the (possibly well intentioned) man of wrongdoing.

I try to believe the best in people and assume they're not trying to force themselves on me, but instead just have different physical comfort levels than I do.

Something like this happened to me last weekend. I went to a party (which I rarely do to avoid situations like this) and there was a pretty friendly guy that started talking to me. We were having a conversation and he touched my arm (no big deal) but because I'm pretty thin he was surprised by how skinny my arm was, so he decieded to see if he could pick me up, which he did without even asking me. Mind you, I had just met the guy! Once he had his hands on me I told him no but of course he didn't stop. Best thing is that he did it again when he saw me later while I was talking with someone else, again without asking. I tried to push him away, but he was almost twice my weight. At least he did apologise when he saw me get visually upset but still, do I need to be on the verge of crying for you to understand that you have no right to randomly pick up a stranger?

Try, "You may feel you're just being friendly, but I'm uncomfortable with touching on short acquaintance, so...hands off!" If he doesn't like that, tough! What he thinks of you is none of your business.

Ok... So yes, I imagine he was hitting on you and his touch thing was part of it. However, possibly (a this is just possibly) he was one of those 'touchy' people. I've worked here in OZ for 14 years and I have had guy and girls, touch me at work and social situations. See Ragnarok - Vacation Teaser Trailer the work scene where Thor is touching his roommate while dictating a letter - I've had that happen tons of times here. Though, as an American, I find it very awkward - it's not a sex thing at all - more of a 'we are mates' kind of thing. Booze increases those kind of behaviors. Not sure who is to blame here. Americans feel very strong about personal space, but a lot of places just don't have that. Not the worst thing... I've known Jordies and Scottish who f'ing head butt you at times when they drink. Like out of the blue they just head butt you - not even pissed off. Like "You're my friend, I am really enjoying this evening, I've had a few, now would be a good time to express how much I like you as a friend by headbutting you."

But it's not cultural in that they don't have any concept of personal space and what is...and is NOT appropriate. He knew. This, however, is one of the reasons I like Australian women so much...they know how to deal with Australian men. A good swift kick or hand check to the nuts usually gets the message across. But however you decide to respond, when your personal space is invaded the response needs to be immediate. Because if you don't do anything, guys that are this much of an asshole take it as an invitation to do it again...and again...and then go further. And remember, you don't even owe a person like this a response. Walking away is perfectly acceptable too.

I appreciate you being open about freezing up. It's something that a lot of people don't talk about, but has happened to me multiple times when being "hit-on" (or harassed). It's nice to know that it happens to a strong, funny, confident woman like you. It helps remove some of the shame associated with freezing. Thanks, you're doing the world a lot of good with your videos :)

This happened way too often with me and my girlfriends. This is extremely common. It is creepy and very uncomfortable guys! Please don't do it. Where the hell have you learned this as a seductive approach?

She obviously phrased it that way, because that's probably what this kind of people think - they won't stop hitting on you when you politely say you aren't interested, but they'll stop when you say you are in a relationship. The most obvious conclusion is that they stopped out of respect for some random dude that happens to be your boyfriend, and that they never met, not out of respect for you and your decisions. They stopped, because they think of it that way - some other dude called dibs on you, so it's against a 'bro code' to keep hitting on you. Continuing to harass you after you said you aren't interested is perfectly fine, though, because... I have no ide why, honestly.

Being a boyfriend doesn't make you a ATM.

generally speaking i don't mind when someone touches me, so long as it's in a platonic way; though everyone is entitled to their own level of personal space. But in the past when someone starts making physical advances that I don't want, i ask them to back up. i say in a somewhat friendly tone "can you... can you back up a bit? I'm feeling crowded." i use this because it stops the behavior (usually) without having to put them in a place of shame or embarrassment, which helps keep them from getting defensive. by placing the focus on you and your feelings it keeps the focus off of their unwanted behavior giving them an opening to change it without being put on the spot

I'm a person who loves hugs and being patted on the back and stuff when I'm feeling depressed (I always ask "do you need a hug", but that's not where I'm going") so sometimes I forget that some people feel differently about it. So sometimes I'll see a friend who is crying and I'll pat them on the back and say stuff like "are you okay" or "if you need to talk to somebody you can always talk to me". So sometimes I do that and they curse me out in front of everybody. I'm not entitled to be able to pay you in the back or hug you, but you shouldn't make that person feel like a bad person and yell " THIS PERSON IS HARASSING ME!!!" Or "GET OFF ME YOU CREEP!!". You could just say "I know you're trying to be nice but could you please not touch me because it makes me feel uncomfortable" or just "please don't touch me". If they continue or they get too close to a point where you feel endangered then of course you can scream at them and slap them and stuff.

People get a little wild and forget their manners at those type of events, some people know that, and just act like they've forgotten to take advantage of that guise.

I'm personally very uncomfortable with touching people in nearly any situation. If it's a stranger, I usually back away as soon as they reach towards me and let them notice it; if it's a classmate or a new friend that's being nice but just doesn't know me too well yet, I usually just gently move away and explain to them

i don't understand why people get touchy. you can do this with friends but it's just awkward to do with strangers.

I know many ppl may think its the best advice to respectfully tell that they dont like to be touched, but they ignore the fact that the damage is allready done at that point. I dont know about You, but being touched against my will always makes me feel extremely angry on the inside. It feels the same as if someone hit you in the face and you respectfully answered: "I'm sorry, could you not do that again?" Its not that easy.

I am a very touchy person when i am with my friends, it's a habit, i touch their shoulders, hands, hair. But one time a friend of mine said he didn't liked it and so i started tracking myself to not do that anymore. It is that simple. Respect people, you don't own their bodys. And be a decent human being

There are many women too who think they're entitled to men's bodies. Sexism works both ways.

Pls don't

I'm not going to touch someone, especially someone I just met unless it's really necessary... (i.e. the "tap on the shoulder" because the line moved or keeping you from stepping off the curb in front of a bus) And, I also don't want to make someone uncomfortable - especially someone that I would like to get to know better... But, that said, I don't know the rules anymore. We're all told that "unwanted or unwelcome advances" are sexual harassment, but the only way to know if an advance is "unwanted or unwelcome" is to ask someone if they want to get coffee so they have an opportunity to react the that "advance." I get that people at work are there just for work but that's also where most people meet other people... I don't spend any time out clubbing or bar hopping - I'm an adult and I've got to get up early to go to work. And I don't take it personally if someone doesn't want to get that coffee I suggested. There has got to be some middle ground... Maybe...? No...? Okay...

Honestly is the best policy. Always go with it. It's best to let someone know where you stand or why you aren't interested.

I was grabbed like that by a bunch of young italian male tourists while they were asking for direction. It was so creepy. I immediately stepped few steps back.

I think it would be fine to tell someone you don't like to be touched or simply pull away from them.

Well, not to be a dick, but in my experience, Australians are quite touchy-friendly. I mean, a sidehug is not a Trump-moment, and it is quite possible that he simply was friendly and relaxed. Now I personally know that some people are very touch-sensitive, like you, so I am very conscious of small signals when meeting strangers, but my natural instinct is something similar ... There is honestly nothing in it about me being entitled to your body and I absolutely do the exact same thing This is not meant as a "oh, it's no problem, stop being such a bitch", it's meant more as a kind of promoting-empathy explanation. I mean, it's not like every physical touch is a comeon, for some people it is just our natural way of behaving.

And once the person didn't listen and actually kept harassing me, so I said "It is clear that you can't take no for an answer, so I have told a friend about you and will notify the campus police if you don't leave me alone." Also, I make it sound like this happens all the time. It doesn't. I am in mechanical engineering, so the male to female ratio is wayyyyy off, but even then, most are respectful.

Savannah Garza lucky you being around such nice understanding men! Seriously though..

When I’m around women, I get so afraid of being “that guy” that I just stay away from them. I worry that anything I say or do will be taken the wrong way. Even when I get the courage to talk to one, I don’t touch her (at all) or let her touch me. I know I look like a jerk, but it’s better than the potential alternative.

It's just strange. Please don't touch me, I don't know you.

That scene where the producer was hitting on your boyfriend made me so uncomfortable that I almost broke my neck cringing.

Trust your gut. If he FELT creepy and and you didn't like it. Then, Just NO.

Look at their neck intently... "have you always had that thing?" "What thing?" "That pustule thing on your neck?" Walk away. They'll work out its their head later.

I've had women act like this towards me and it's honestly confusing. Like why are you touching me, but you're not interested in a relationship? Or worse is the drunk woman who started kissing me when I was CLEARLY not interested

Martial arts: Grab the hand, grip between the thumb and index finger, pinch very hard. Twist at the wrist, rotating their arm up and backward. Follow through with a turn away from the guy, and place an elbow to the ribs as you do. If you're fast enough, there's no witnesses. Another good one is a heel stomp to the top of the foot. Tell the bartender or bouncer you were touched inappropriately, so you have an alibi. Or... you could do as you did and avoid confrontation. Which is the best solution in any case. Still, advise the bouncer in that case, because they'll alert security that there's a Mr. McFeely in the house. Otherwise, I say take the ship and nuke the site from orbit: It's the only way to be sure. Telekinesis is also a preferable option, it's less strategic and leaves no evidence.

I think the problem is that men are expected to make the moves and advances, but some aren't very good at it. This plus alcohol equals creepiness. I think a lot of men think being forward is good, and tend not think things through when alcohol is involved. I'm someone who is the opposite end of the spectrum, and I really struggle to pick up girls, because I'm way too inhibited and worried about appearing creepy.

Oh I just say "you're in my bubble!" And push them away

I am pretty straightforward in expressing my discomfort when my personal space is invaded. Like "I would love to keep up with this friendly conversation but I would appreciate you to not touch me again. Thank you." And if they react aversely to it I would either walk away or entertain the argument depending on what they said. If they respect it, I would thank them again for being a mature enough human being and knowing that some people are uncomfortable with casual physical touch that may or may not have meaning.

I think any of the potential responses you considered were valid. In fact, all of them one after another would have been awesome.

I am a grumpy antisocial guy. Thats why I get pissed when men hug me. But I get horny when women hug me.

Story time: I spent the night at my friends house with her, her boyfriend, and one of our other guy friends. We stayed up veeery late. Come around 5:30 or 6 in the morning, my friend and her boyfriend were asleep, and me and the other guy were watching American Horror Story. He was leaning on my shoulder, which I was cool with. But then he started rubbing my shoulder. Then my arm. Then my leg. He started to poke his fingers under my skirt when I pushed his hand off. He said sorry and stopped. Later he said he didn't know what he was thinking and that it wouldn't happen again. The terrible thing is he has a girlfriend and he knows i'm asexual/aromantic. And I still felt dirty afterwards, like I had done something wrong. And I was afraid to talk about it, even though normally I'm very outspoken and blunt. The whole incident was weird and I still feel gross when I think about it.

Umm, I'm a guy and hate being touched so I don't do It to anyone If I know said person won't or might not be okay with it. So don't stereotype guys either.

yes because Nobody is entitled to boys' wallets as much as they are entitled to girls' bodies

At school if a boy gets too close or touches me I say "Dont touch me," or "Your in my space bubble!" in a high pitch or deep voice.

Everyone complaining about how she's overreacting over nothing has clearly not had their personal space invaded to a point where they've felt extremely uncomfortable in the situation. Especially as a woman, having a man touch you when it's unwelcome (even if it's not in a sexual way) causes alarm flags to go up in our brains and it's really unsettling.

"Please don't touch me without asking" is usually what I say.

It's 2021 and you're still be able to save lives. Should've known you before. Thanks ana. Love from the Phillipines.

I used to freeze up in situations like this out of shock. I asked for divine guidance on this bc it hasn’t happened in a long time so it might have the same triggering (& ineffective) effects w me if it happened again. The word of advice is to apply the same advice you gave when you need to project confidence. So, immerse yourself in the content of the moment & that way you won’t have any space to contemplate the validity of what type of response would maintain a sense of comfort for all parties. All you’re focused on is action instead of the vibe of counteracting. I think people who handle these situations masterfully are very much in the moment to respond in a way that scolds without creating a scene more than it deserves. You get the message across properly for yourself & enough for the perpetrator to receive the vibe in a way that marked their misdeed...bc the majority (if not all) of the time, they know what they’re doing. So in a way you extend your relief efforts to future others. To cement it, imagine how that ‘confidence game play’ would pan out so it is that much more accessible at the times you need to resource them.

and you're funny as hell!! I laugh out loud at every video you post!

I'm pretty sure Gotham will continue being awesome

I love your videos! You're smart, funny and socially conscious, and a good role model to girls, guys and everyone in between! Keep it up!

When I find myself in a situation where someone touches me when or where I don't want to be touched, I will often casually pull their hand off of me. Other times I have some little "one liners" or easy ways to say no like "please don't touch me like that" or "can you not? thanks" and that helps me get out of that anxious freeze mode.

Anna! not every time they touch you its an entitlement situation. Sometimes it's a cultural thing. Australians and Latinos for example are very very touchy in the friendliest way possible. and sometimes they don't realize that personal space is a big deal in other places... Sometimes in those situations the best thing to do is just say "oh hay, please don't do that. it's a little uncomfortable" and we will get it right away.

I have trouble making any kind of move without feeling creepy, and I often end up coming off awkward as a result. I want her to know I respect her, not fear her.

I just realized you’re my favourite KZread channel Rn. I’ve never had a favorite before. Ily

Before I was married, I had some women getting a bit too touchy feely with me when I wasn't attracted to them or interested in them---and I am a very average guy in looks. It mostly just annoyed me. However, the flip side of this would be that you were so unattractive that NOBODY ever tried anything, which honestly seems much worse to me than unwanted attention occasionally. I had a friend once and the poor woman had a genetic skin disorder that made her look almost reptilian. She was a smart, very kind person, but no male had ever hit on her in her life as much as she might have wished it.

***** That's not a justification. When you're a kid, you're captive. As in adult, you are the only thing you always have control over. A young (18-21 or so) adult can blame their childhood. After that, either it's intentional, or they're not trying to develop themselves. It's an excuse, and a dubious one that no well-adjusted person should respect. If you sympathize with her, then don't be an enabler for her crutch. At some point, we have to own our flaws and admit that we don't change them because we don't want to. That is far more respectable than blaming your childhood forever.

well not all people feel that way. It's sad that your friend had to go through that. But unwanted attention can lead to much worse things, a friend of mine got punched just because she told the guy she didn't want to go with him, a total stranger. If you had experienced some of the creepy/scary unwanted attention you'd fell differently. I honestly don't give a damn I someone finds me attractive or not don't touch me after I told you to stop touching me.

Ew, I'd prefer unwanted attention over possible sexual harassment. But you're a guy who feels unwanted attention is flattery at best and annoying at worst so.

Pro Meliora Obviously you dont know anything about about psychology. Traumas need some serieus treatment. I have a friend who has trouble socializing because of a trauma she cant even remember, but it is so stuck in her subconsious mind it still troubles her even though she cant even remember the event. Ana probably because of traumas subconsiously reacts diffrent when something happends because of the traumas she has. Changing a subconsious thought pattern or memory is very difficult.

Ha! Black Mirror. And I shrug away from people easy, just woosh away~

My approach (and outlook on life in general) is to be bold and honest. Be polite at first but don't tolerate it twice. People don't know your boundaries if you don't tell them. If you want them to stop, like touching you, simple say something along the lines of "Excuse me. Please don't touch me." If you want to shut down advances "You seem like a nice person but I'm not interested in you romantically." It's not easy to reject or be rejected so be polite and affirmative. If you're making advances make your intentions clear. If someone's going to throw a hiss fit because you rejected them that person is a child that you or anyone else should not date. Define the relationship. When everyone knows everyone's place and boundaries it's smooth sailing.

Just pause for a second when they expect you to say something, look at them with a very amused face and go. "How much do you value your balls?"
