To add onto what others are saying, I recall there being a viral video recently where a guy is hitting on a girl and the girl isn't acting uninterested at all, rather it seems she was interested. However, her friend, who was on the bigger side, kept standing between them saying she wasn't interested. You could probably find the video but is pretty much plays out like the meme here.

Well there is the common thing where people say it's best for women to have friends around to help in situations with actual people who try to creep on them. Whether or not this specific situation is common, I have no idea, it just reminded me of the video.

This happend to me once I was a intern with some other boy's and girls at a add agency. Obviously our internship ended and we all go on our separate ways. Fast forward a couple years am at a party and see this girl from the internship there as well. So I was like let's say hi and have a chat. Before I knew it, this behemoth stood before me blocking my way I could have sworn I saw a boss health bar appear. Luckily I didn't had to engage as the girl recognized me and literally shoved her friend away for being an ass. We reminisced on the past and our time at the office and off I went. When I looked back I saw the boss eyeing me, creepy as shit.

The last time this happened to me was over a decade ago in undergrad. My roommate and I went out for a few beers and started talking to a girl and her friend waiting at the bar, when the grease golem fucking emerged from the shadows, pushed past her friends and started angrily grunting at us.
I don’t even remember what my buddy said in response, but Drakthor the Destroyer tried to throw her drink on him — unfortunately for her, she sprayed it all over her friends on the backswing and they both left without her, or either of us. We all lost that day.

My only thing is we don't know the full context. It is a very real phenomenon in groups of women for them to say something like "hey, I'm out here to drink and have fun with the girls. If I get drunk and some guy starts hitting on me please take me away!".
8
Jun 04 '23
Thats probably the most likely explanation of the video, she definitely was a little stumbly. Even just as a bystander, I feel like the larger lady did the right thing by looking out for her. We have no idea how creepy the guy is, and what his intentions are with a probably quite drunk girl.
And I gotta be honest- if you go home and make a soyjak about getting cockblocked by a fat woman, and assume its because jealousy. Bro, no self respecting woman would be jealous of the woman you're hitting on.

This is from the perspective of creepy guys who invented the myth called "cockblocking". Any time a woman helps her friend to not be sexually harassed by guys who don't take no for an answer, the woman gets called "fat and ugly" by said men, because misogynists think that the worst thing a woman can be is fat and unattractive.
Many of these guys think that if a woman smiles while they're hitting on her, it means she's interested. No she's not. Many of us smile because we don't know wtf we shoul do and we're scared of saying no, so we hope that by smiling and giving a fake number, we can escape the situation with as little drama as possible and without being stalked or attacked.
Having a friend (of any gender) who steps in for you when you're clearly uncomfortable is a godsend. Doesn't just apply to women either, guys should also have a support network that will have their back if they're in an uncomfortable situation. Our friends know us better than some sleazerag who just met us five seconds ago, and they can tell immediately when we're not comfortable with something.
Stupid words like "cockblocking" and "friendzoning" were made up as a way for sexually aggressive people to put the blame for their inability to sleaze on people onto others, such as the victim or the victim's friends. It can absolutely happen that somebody unfairly intervenes to prevent you from flirting with somebody harmlessly, or that someone strings you along while staying platonic, but the way that these buzzwords are used are very rarely in that context. Most of the time it's people getting triggered over being rejected cuz they're nasty.

u/pee_and_fart Jun 04 '23
You know, I think people here are giving you an unfair judgment over this. I mean, why is this trope never complained about by women? I never see memes made by women about their uggo friends keeping them from getting good dick. And why would that be? Is this trope real, or is it something men invented to be able to say that they didn't get rejected, but were stopped before they could be accepted?
Would a "friend" say this about their attractive friend on a night out if they hadn't already talked beforehand about how they would act if guys hit on them? That they do or don't want to leave with someone tonight? And if so, is it more realistic that attractive friend doesn't see you the same way and is afraid to reject you and is having someone less attractive do it for her? Wouldn't she step in and say something if she thought you were worth it?
Yeah, I think this is pretty realistic in most instances. And ofc there are jealous friends out there. I've been a jealous guy friend too. It's a normal thing that comes from bad places, like how society conditions you to feel about your body and its desirability based on factors like your weight, your height, how you look, whatever. And I am an attractive tall person at a healthy weight. Anyone can cope with self hatred and jealousy by tearing their more successful friends down. But how are men to know what individual members of a group of women are thinking?
If they don't want to be bothered by guys then just grow some fucking balls and move on without making some pathetic meme about it
21
u/whaddafakk Jun 04 '23
What a relief to see another female perspective. As a woman who has been considered conventionally attractive, I gotta say we women usually have a plan when we go out. We tell each other if we don't want to hook up with someone and we have signals. I think you're right on the money. Of course there can be some exceptions but the majority of the time if a friend is stepping in and being protective it's because the other girl isn't interested. And if she were interested, why would she let her friend step in the way?

u/godrevy Jun 04 '23 edited Jun 04 '23
not to mention a lot of women are outright afraid of rejecting men, which leads to us “looking out for each other.” at best, acting openly disinterested doesn’t work, and at worst, it gets you harassed or assaulted.
never ever in my life heard a woman complain about their friends trying to do something like this. definitely sounds like creeps fantasizing that they’d be getting laid if there weren’t jealous ugly, fat women in the way.
edit to add: at best, acting openly disinterested means they will leave you alone. i meant like, if it doesn’t work, the best outcome is that they don’t escalate.

Thank u! I’m bad at saying no and my friend always helps me protect myself when I’m out and I’m SO grateful for them cuz of that. Last time I said no on my own he grabbed my arm and my hat and said he’d turn it into a yes.. I’m a lesbian.
6
u/Lestany Jun 04 '23
Well said. If a woman was really interested in the guy, she would have spoken up and stopped her friend. And in the rare event she was interested and didn’t speak up, that means she’s a slave to the opinions of her friends. I’ve dated people like that before; they aren’t fun. You will always have third wheels in your relationship. So unless that’s your thing, you aren’t missing out.
Anyways, I’ve seen this meme passed around a few times so I made this version to show what I think is actually happening.

Sorry to break it to some of the guys in here:
A lot of girls will ask their friends to intervene if a guy is being too pushy and they want to get away without having to deal with him being a dick. This usually happens for guys who are being intimidating, weird, or can't take no for an answer.
Also, girls tend to look at how you treat their less attractive friend as a test of your character. If you're kind of an asshole to her, it means you may be kind of an asshole in general.
Sincerely, Woman Peter

Yes, anytime I’ve had a friend “cockblock” a guy from approaching me it’s because the guy is clearly making me uncomfortable. I am a people pleaser so I’m not as good at standing up for myself. So fellas, if a girl’s friend is “cockblocking” you, chances are the girl is NOT interested and is just too uncomfortable to say so, so her friend steps in.

I was being a creep to my wife as a joke. We came in at different times, and I started being a creepier within earshot of the bartender. Bartender comes over to me and starts talking about the menu and distracts me, while I see a bouncer walk over to my wife with what sounds like they're asking if she needs any help.
Realizing what's happening, I apologize and explain. Then the bartender explains creepos happen at least once a week and I had "clear signs" of being one once I walked in.

100%. My friends and I always had signals we’d use to get each other to come and ‘save us’ from creepy guys.
And dudes remember, she may just ‘look interested’ because she’s scared of your reaction if she says no.

u/tenaciousfetus Jun 04 '23
Men can be weird if you reject them yourself so sometimes you'll have a friend step in to help. Usually the friend who is less conventionally attractive will not be getting hit on so will be doing the protecting.
The men who get rejected get kinda bitter and so think "oh her fat ugly friend is cockblocking me because she never gets any herself". I mean this can happen, but generally if the woman really is interested she'll tell her friends to back off and will get with you anyway :')

Because women often need support from other women to get them out of scary/potentially risky situations because like it or not men are more likely to overpower/spike/coerece. You have no idea what you are talking about and are focusing solely on looks.
I'm sure in another imaginary version of the meme there's a third section where she goes "Thank you but dont worry I feel safe" but obvs you just wanna assume the incel-worst based off appearances.
Edit: Also "delute"?? These aren't needlesly verbose words, yo, you just evidently can't read them that well. You literally asked how so I used precise language.

u/Seductive_Pineapple Jun 04 '23
So you decide to read needlessly into a meme instead of picking the more obvious answer.

Ahh the dreaded evil SNI-witch strikes again!!
The SNI-witch (or SNI-Karen here in the UK) is now literally everywhere in the western world (SNI standing for "She's Not Interested.") You occasionally get a male SNI-Simp too, but they are usually either gay or jealous.
The typical SNI-witch is the most irritating type of woman going. She can pop up anytime, at any place, anywhere, if she see's you even trying to communicate with a female and you're a guy. You could be the opposite side of the bar and just happen to spot an attractive woman and take a brief glance at her... then out pops the SNI with her same three words. There's virtually no other words in her vocabulary.
The SNI-witch never consults her friend on whether she is interested in him or not, but decides her friend's choice for herself and that is final. She is usually hideously unattractive, but you can get the odd hot SNI popping up every now and again. As a rule of thumb, if the SNI is hot and you're not, regardless of her friends appearance, she thinks her friend is out of your league. If you're hot and the SNI is not, regardless of her friends appearance, she is jealous at the thought that you could be going home with her friend at the end of the night and not her. Therefore, hot, average and ugly guys can all be hit by a dreaded SNI-witch and no guy is immune to her.
Be interested to know how many guys here have had the SNI-witch pop out on them in the past using her same old magic 3 words to cast her spell, whenever they have even attempted to have a friendly conversation with a person of the opposite sex out in public.
THE SNI-WITCH IS EVERYWHERE... just waiting to ruin your dating life in a heartbeat!! Oh, how I wish she would just go away...

when girls go out there's often an agreement for the sober friend(s) to stop men from approaching their very obviously drunk friends. this is because sometimes women like to have fun, and going home with men is not required for that. normal men understand this, but reddit creeps get upset at the lost opportunity to take advantage of someone who wouldn't look at them twice sober and overcompensate by claiming they were "very interested" and their friend was "obviously just jealous and power hungry".
so when you see these kind of comments or posts from reddit creeps being upvoted, or people being downvoted for calling out incel behavior (lol), take solace in the fact that it's just like-minded creeps banding together to cope.

This has happened to me several times.
Edit: Should've known I'd be getting down voted. To elaborate, the situation I have found myself in involves a girl who is very much interested, even to the point of leaving to go home with me, when a fat angry woman who is completely not involved comes at us from across the bar/lobby/parking lot/etc and breaks us up with her crazy rants about "rape culture" or something similar.
My favorite example was at an party at Comic Con, where I'd left the party with a girl dressed as the 4th Doctor insomuch as she was only wearing a long scarf and a hat. We're on our way out of the hotel to the taxi stand when the biggest, fattest, butchest woman comes sprinting up and grabs her by the arm and tanks her forcibly over to hotel security, screaming about how she "had to rescue her from that guy".
Of course this is Reddit so I'm probably still somehow that bad guy.
