I wish I could confidently say I'd make a scene and tell him exactly where to fuck off, but I'd probably do the Werner approach, awkward politeness and retreat asap, which pisses me off because he doesnt deserve his behavior to be accommodated.Speaking as a woman, you make a scene and draw a crowd. He looks so deranged and terrifying that it’s literally too dangerous to tell him off.
This is the Lucas Werner effect. Women he leers at often smile and look away. That’s a survival instinct.
Unstable men are dangerous and women have learned that men will kill us for rejecting them. So we have to either create a crowd and make a scene or try to pretend things are okay and then book it.
Russell is far more unattractive and is only 5’5” (I guess?) so since I’m taller than him I’d be more likely to create a scene and assume that would deter him from assaulting me. Lucas is bigger and his eyes are completely psychopathic looking. He never blinks and tends to have weird jaw movements so I’d probably just smile uncomfortably and move on as I feel he is more of a direct physical threat and given what I know about him. I’m not sure why I wouldn’t create a commotion with him but I guess he seems less imminently terrifying. Russell comes across as completely unpredictable and I’d want witnesses.
I’m interested in other lady-kiwis responses.
But before anyone slides in with " just tell creeps to fuck off", women have been killed for telling a man no, and I much prefer being alive than squaring up with some drooly faced retard when in reality I'd really love to punch it.
Sorry for mati.
