Re: Picking up women

^^^ Agreed, but surely you recognize that in the world we live in today, unsolicited contact with children is far more likely to be overreacted upon than contact with adults...

Without a doubt. My friend (about 28) coaches a little league baseball team and the kids can't hit a ball worth a crap. So he told me after all of the instructions, all he could think of doing was standing behind the kid and put his arms around him to show him how to swing the bat. When he was telling me I was thinking that he'll probably get yelled out or removed from coaching because of how people are these days. A for sure, he got a talking to by the fellow coaches about lines that shouldn't be crossed even though it isn't written anywhere.

Agreed  He does this with children he is going to need a good atty just to keep him off the sex offenders list.

With adults he will ONLY go to jail.  Or get the crap beating out him.  And if the girl's boyfriend beat the shit out of him, the other person will have an extremely valid "defense of others" defense while dolphins4life gets arrested for the original assault and battery.   

Bottom line.  Regardless of who he does it to eventually he will wind up in jail or the hospital or both.

You guys did read that he was 16 when the 10-year-old girl thing happened, right?

Anyway, just because a 10-year-old likes to be picked up (like a child), that doesn't mean that adults do.  It is a bad idea.

Not that this would ever happen, but...

I think if someone came by and just picked me up off the ground, I'd be swinging for the fences.  Of course, if someone was strong enough to pick me up, its probably not the kind of person I'd want to fight.  But, at the same time, I can't imagine a situation where it would ever be OK, even to go up to a random woman and start with a line like "Do you mind if I pick you up?"

What ever happened to "Hi, what's your name?"

Oh.My.God.

YES....that was basically my exact though. I read his reply and seriously got the vapors.

At this point, I would advise dude to quit posting these personal life type threads and stick to football and off topic. Hell, if I was him, I would ask Dave to delete all of my questionable threads and delete my account and re register. This kind of shit could be used against him at some point. All of these random, strange, and "help me" type threads wouldn't help him much in a legal situation.

And for god's sake. Quit touching people unless they touch you first or it's rather obvious that they want you to (ie, intimate moments)

[Cathal]

^^^ Ha, I would certainly take that advice. It's just too weird.

Don't listen to the haters man, keep doing what your doing!  I'm looking forward to seeing your mug shot...or obituary if you pick up the wrong dude's girl.
