Freak Nasty

Rant of the Day

Have you ever been to a bar, you are dancing and you have that solo creeper who moves from girl to girl in your group...never seeming to read the very apparent "get the f**k away from me" body language you are throwing their way?

That in short, was a summary of my last night, but instead of 1 creepy fellow there was a gaggle of them... like 6. We were totally outnumbered. It felt like we were being surrounded and cornered by a group of lions, and hey, at least lions are cute. Ultimately I have a really hard time balancing my idea that people are generally out to have a good time, not sinisterly prey on others, and that it is part of a dance floor scene for people to intrude on personal space etc. But, I also think that people, perhaps due to alcohol, purposefully ignore the blatant, and I do mean blatant, signs that someone is uncomfortable, not having a good time and wants them to back off.

I think, in total out of the approximately 45 minutes that I danced last night 40 of them were spent dancing away from the "creeper" or physically pushing them away. It eventually came down to whether we wanted to leave the dance floor or blatantly tell them to get the heck away. We chose to leave the dance floor. It is gross to me, that a group of girls needs to dance with each other in order to fend off unwelcome dance partners.

It would be nice to dance in comfort and free of worry.
