I would probably have decked the guy and left before my man came back. It's totally acceptable for a woman to hit a man. I have assaulted many annoying men without consequence.

Say you are both out at a crowded bar, club, concert. For whatever reason your man is away from you for a short amount of time.

A man who is a complete stranger to you both, a similar age, but slightly older. Is being very inappropriate with you. For example over the top sexual explicit comments to you, or touching your leg etc. Drink is a factor. You have to go somewhere and need to leave soon anyway.


Your man comes back and he sees, or hears what is going on. Vote and comment (If you want).
I would never allow a stranger to act like that with me. I would walk away or tell him to get away from me immediately, so my husband wouldn't even get an opportunity to witness such a scene.

Macho ego rulz
Wait, are you that guy from Jersey Shore?......

There is no need for any kind of altercation if it can be resolved quickly and painlessly for all parties...If the intruder is not getting the point, I will be the one to walk away.

I would hope I could deal with the situation on my own and walk away from the situation, but if it got a little too overwhelming then I would expect Hubby to step in with a seriously clever tongue lashing, making the offender feel like a complete moron and then we would leave.

Unless your life is being physically threatened I do not believe violence is the answer. I think making the other feel small and diminished is sufficient and shows wit which to me is ultimately the sexiest thing in a man.

I would also not want my Husband to risk being beaten up or possibly killed simply because someone was inapropriate with me. If someone was about to sexually assault or rape me of course then a physical intervention is often the only way to deal with it but I prefer the situation to be diffused in other ways if at all possible.

Brains before Brawns for me please.

I don't want to date anyone who spends his disposable income on criminal defense attorney's fees. Plus the guy will have either a felony or a misdemeanor on his record when he goes seeking employment in the future.

No thanks. I want a smart, level-headed man with me, not a guy who starts fighting at the slightest provocation.

I can't believe any woman thinks their man would be "more of a man" if he handled this situation by hitting the other man. Unbelievable.

So making a scene is the mature way to handle this? And anyone that would marry a childish, insecure testosterone-driven idiot like this will discover that men who get into bar fights are not marriage material 99% of the time.

Anyway, any man that did this to me I would handle myself. "I'm married, get the hell out of here, you do NOT interest me." If she still was hanging around and my husband came back, he would simply say, "She's married to ME. Get lost and hit on a single woman."

I would hate it if my bf got involved in a fight or something like that. It always makes me feel as if I cannot stand for myself so that I need him to protect me. But of course I would expect my bf to get mad and tell the guy to get out of there. If he does not, then we always can!

I'd handle it myself. "Sorry fossil, but I like 'em young. Now hand off my leg or you can kiss your dentures good-bye"

See, moments like this are priceless. I'd do it myself for the sheer thrill of it!

Same here but I'm assuming in the hypothetical situation, the guy wasn't taking "no" for an answer - ie, he doesn't listen when you tell him to get away and follows you when you try to walk away. In which case, I would absolutely want my husband's help - because frankly, I'm more likely to punch the guy in the face than my husband would be! lol.
