Drunk Spanish Woman

[Martin4x4]

This is pretty shocking, I would like to blame the machismo, but I've seen British guys try on the same sort of behaviour.

That last guy is pretty sinister

Its been edited though so how do we know that they didnt have to go through a thousand people offering just help to get to a few guys having a crack and one guy trying to take her into an alley?

[iphonedyou]

The last drunk women that approached me was fairly hysterical and really very drunk. Claimed she was being followed by somebody.

Anyway, I called her a taxi, waited for it to arrive with her and told the driver her address.

Like I'm sure 99%+ of men would do.

Even if that were the case (it was in broad daylight, after all), one in a thousand is still a high ratio if you live in a city- and this is in daylight.. That a minority of (sober!) men would behave in such way is still enough for it to affect the majority of women.

That was the point behind the woman walking around NYC last year getting unsolicited comments and calls from passers by, too. It's not that the majority of men are scum who deserve to die a fiery death, it's that even a small minority can affect the majority.

I think its exaggerated and "worst case scenario"

BUT... I do think there are a lot of men who would subtly take advantage of pissed women , used to see it all the time on nights out , they just see them as fair game and its their own fault for getting pissed. This isnt all men, but certainly a subset of society

[xjay1337]

Cultural and also a worst case.
I think if that was in blighty it would a lot different.
But yes I think men may often take advantage.

Those Latino types, always on the pull.

Since you knew this random woman's address, I guess we know she was right about being followed!

Think about what you're writing.

What you're saying is 'I dont believe what they're showing on camera is a problem, they're making it up, there's not really a problem at all, it's only a few men doing it'

That there may be 10, 100 or 1000 others who dont do anything, do help, call a taxi...whatever. It isnt what the focus is on with this video.

Meh.

I bet she has hairy arms.

If you shave the hair on your arms, it will only grow back looking a 100 times worse (longer, thicker, fuller)!
It's not really necessary to shave the hair on your arms, leave poor woman alone.

Honestly not suprised at all... see it loads on a night out.

[vonuber]

A few years back I was out with an old school friend in Birmingham - we both got quite drunk (her much more than me) and we decided to head home (as she was staying over mine for the night). I quickly went to the loo and when I came back she had disappeared. Worried I ran around the bar looking for her before heading outside.
I found her crouched on the floor with some guy reassuring her he was me and was going to take her home. Needless to say I was not amused, and luckily the bouncer came along to intervene when I went to rescue her and the guy got a bit leery. Bloody scary to think if I had been a little bit longer, or thought she had gone to the loo and waited for her.

So no, not cultural in the slightest. Some men are bloody evil.

[anonymous-user]

I went to save a drunk woman that was having an altercation with a man recently. After trying to separate them, she physically attacked me, called me all sorts of choice expressions and then threw a pot noodle carton at me as I was retreating.

Where are all the caring women?

Then again if I was free that afternoon I'd have chatted her up too. Woud have been a great chance to practise my new line "I'd like to get to know you."

Agreed, although it goes past sinister IMO.

One or two of those encounters weren't that much of a big deal: "sit down before you fall down" is not exactly much to concern about. I could see how the situation of three of four blokes chatting her up could have easily been intimidating (although no one from the crew stepped in in that case, so it probably didn't escalate in a nasty way or it would have been left in the video).

Props to the actress though, staying in character during that last clip; if I'd been her I'd have kneed the bloke in the balls and legged it. Scary.

Pretty sure it's just; "I'd like to know you"

You'll go nowhere if you can't get the hang of this mate

The video is made by an alcohol and drug rehab clinic...

It's gone viral.

Probably a very good free [except to pay the actors] advertising campaign as it is in nearly every paper in Europe.

Draw your own conclusions.
