I was conscious of the fact that we had to coexist with them for the length of the show and I felt they might have had a bad reaction (obnoxious, embarrassing, not necessarily dangerous) if we weren't at least somewhat polite (is this a woman thing?) and I wanted to enjoy the show as much as possible.

In any case, I scouted out a couple of empty seats elsewhere toward the end of the show and relocated us there.

You'll never see him again anyway.
Yep. My lady friends and I always look out for each other and would NEVER let one another go home or otherwise be alone with a random drunk stranger...especially a MARRIED random drunk stranger.

If that makes me a ___block, then I'll proudly wear that title.

I would like to hear from guys their definition of a c*** blocker and to describe accurately the situation the last time they applied that term to a friend of the target. So...any stories?

Just as the band came onstage two tipsy guys took the seats next to us, they were probably late 30s, early 40s. Right away they started engaging us, yelling, high-fiving about the band and how it was the 16th or 17th time they had seen them. Then for the next hour they were in our space, body-checking and putting their hands in our faces, touching us and the women in front of us and basically demanding that we dance, not sit down, etc.

That was more or less ok, if a bit obnoxious. Then I went to get a drink and I was gone for awhile. When I got back, one of the guys had taken my place (next to my friend). He was chatting her up, and told me (not asked) that I move over to the aisle seat. My friend is giving me these looks like "help me," so I told him no, that we were here together and wanted to remain so.

So the two guys start whispering and I hear the dreaded term, c*** blocker uttered about me.

Really? Ok, so guys, what should I have done differently in this situation? She was not interested in either of them, plus they had wedding rings on!
Given them the cold shoulder the minute they put their hands in your faces or otherwise getting physical, never mind touching you. There's flirting and kidding around, and then there is abrasiveness and disrespect, and those guys were abrasive and disrespectful.

Also, your friend should have told the guy who moved over that he was in your seat when you came back. File it away for next time you two go out.

FTR: What the hell is it with some of these jackass men who do crap like that? Just because a woman is there, that doesn't mean she wants you up in her face and your hands on her body. Aholes. Honestly? Had I been there, the first time they tried it, I'd have leaned away and done this: with a huge shake of my head NO.

Should spray some perfume on them when they're not looking. Let them deal with it when their wives smell it on them when they get home.

google urban dictionary and look it up.

the term speaks for itself IMHO, you don't want a guy to get in your friends pants so you become an obstacle.

by the way, kinda funny that you are so concerned about being called a c*ckblocker. at a very young age, most guys figure out it's a basic girlcode move

I recently encountered one. A friend of a friend. She is completely a --blocker. She is one of those types that thinks all men she deems attractive should only pay attention to her. So if one of these aforementioned attractive guys is not paying attention to her, she will interrupt the conversation and do everything in her power to wrestle attention away.

It happened to me. She displayed jealousy that a "hot" guy was chatting me up. And even more surprised that it was a "random" and not someone I had known before. So annoying. I don't have time for women like this.

She appears to be one of those women who thinks she is much more attractive than people she associates with, so all eyes should be on her.
