    You aren't really hurting a woman, just touching her.

    *am asking for obvious research purposes*

    If she wants you to, it's a crime not to. If she doesn't, then yes, it's a crime.

    As soon as you're released from custody, let us know how the research fieldtrip goes.

    Depends on how ugly she is


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭Kojak


    "research purposes" is it?

    You thinking of making a grab yourself but afraid of getting a belt of a handbag?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    Well there was some young lad up in court locally for doing just that so I'd say yep it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 791 ✭✭✭Shreddingblood


    It's an achievement. Put it on your CV.

    I think I speak for all women when i say....if you're ugly its a crime, if you're gorgeous, grab away


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    If you're groping then yeah, if you're flirting and its all consensual and she doesnt dislike it then no.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭ShizDink

    not sure what the specific laws in Ireland are

    please don't speak for all women.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,673 ✭✭✭AudreyHepburn


    A crime.....it would depend on your motifs, if you stopped when she asked you to and so forth.

    But it is highly inappropriate imo. Would like a random woman to walk up to you and grap your whatsits?

    I don't get why some guys think they can do this!!
    It happens all the time in clubs. They actually have no shame. You whip around and look at them after they do it, and you just find the guy smiling back at you.
    Worse are the ones that just grab all the girl's asses in a crowded club as they walk along, not even bothering to get a reaction.

    It would all be a lot more outrageous if it was on the street or something though. However, don't think this happens too often.

    Girls don't do this. Not that I think the guys would be complaining of we did. lol
    As for it being legal, I suppose its sexual harrassment, which is obviously illegal, but whether anyone would take legal action over something like this is another matter.

    Wouldn't it be considered assault, or even sexual assault?

    If you whore yourself up, it's inevitable.

    If a gay man grabbed your arse for a nice feel and told you to lighten up, how would you take it luv ?

    Some women don't want strangers grabbing their asses, no matter what they look like.

    Any man that thinks like this needs to good hard look at himself. I would be very nervous around some-one with such a viewpoint to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 791 ✭✭✭Shreddingblood


    I don't grab stranger's arses. I'm just saying if it's on show there's a possibility some arsehole will grab it. (pardon the pun)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Women love it secretly. Even when they're shouting and swiping at you with their nails. Its all in good fun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,565 ✭✭✭southsiderosie


    Two of the worst barfights I've ever seen involved a guy grabbing a random woman's ass - in one case her brother saw it, and in the other case her boyfriend saw. In both cases, it did not end well for the ass-grabber.

    Without permission your in legal terms breaking Tresspass law against the person and is also covered in tort law.

    It drives me mad personally, I mean the gall of some guys just beggers belief.

    Not if getting a knee in the balls isn't a crime either


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,659 ✭✭✭Siuin


    Wow, brings me back to a nightclub in Cork- a guy grabbed my ass, and when I turned around and gave him a dirty look, he punched me in the side of the head.

    Wouldn't recommend.

    She was dressed like a slut, I swear she was asking for it to happen. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 412 ✭✭Hackysack


    I'm pretty sure it isn't judging by the amount of gards i've seen in action in Coppers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 867 ✭✭✭Mr. Denton


    All women love having their arse grabbed by random strangers. Ones who say they don't are just mistaken.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 884 ✭✭✭spider guardian


    i would recommend practising with them squeezy balls beforehand, it really firms up your grip and allows you to make it count when you grab a nice chunk of flesh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,176 ✭✭✭Jess16


    I recently had a grown man do this to me in a packed Dublin pub at about 7 o'clock in the evening after a rugby match. I was walking away from the bar and nearly dropped every drink I was holding at the sudden feel of his smarmy hand latching on to me -so guys no, please do not do this. Unless you want to come across like an utter moron with the mental capacity of a teenager that is

    Yes, many times. I was in work, once standing on stool changing a light bulb and a girl actually asked if she could grab my "whatsits". Women are not always so innocent.

    In this post, girl rants about sexual harrassment, then assumes that A) no women do this (hint, they do), and b) Men will always enjoy ( hint, we don't).

    sexual harrassment isnt a male on female crime only, so hypocritical.

    It's always the pulchritude-challenged ones who seem to do it.
