That is exactly right.

No, accepting behavior. If a woman accepts certain behaviors from a man, how would he even know she doesn't like it. Why would he have any desire to change? This is a 2-way street to me. You have to grow a backbone and make it clear that certain behaviors are not acceptable to you. Then the man can make the choice about what he wants to do.

Teach and gaining trust and respect are different things.

You are teaching the guy that you won't put up with disrespect.

Maybe it will teach some guy to talk to his date with a little more respect next time around - even if it's with another girl. I have always had zero tolerance for nasty, disrespectful talk. 1 strike and you're out.

No wonder the Cubs suck, I thought it was 3 strikes to be called out (?)...in any case.

I think everyone has their levels or tiers of disrespectful language they can tolerate. Some girls don't put up with swearing of any kind, some will happily trade offbeat remarks, it depends on the people and the relationship.

I've seen some women giggle when a guy says the nastiest, most disrespectful things to them. I can not stand that. I do not know why some women put up with this. If a guy talks to me that way, I have to resist the urge to tell him to f*ck off or slap him. At the minimum, I walk away immediately.

One time a guy in a bar started saying some nasty things about what he'd like to do and then licked his finger and pretended to touch my crotch. One of my guy friends saw it and punched him in the face and we ran out of the bar. The guy deserved to get punched in the face.

What was said to her really wasn't a personal preference type thing, it was lewd and inappropriate.

There are no 3 strikes on that.

I am far from a prude, and can trade off color remarks with the best of them... Do you really think, in any circles, what the OP's date said would be considered respectful behavior? The OP seemed offended by it and I am surprised she put up with it.

You know when the batter swings early on a wild pitch that is 2 feet to the left of home plate? It is kind of like that. You now know the quality of the batter you are dealing with - just from that one strike. The batter needs to be sent back to the farm, immediately.
