Driving his hands out far enough so the camera can see if not touching them. What a Pro!

He's from Toronto, after all. Making his country proud!

You hover your hands because you're respectful

I hover my hands because I'm afraid of women.

We are not the same

u/inthevelvetsea Sep 13 '24

However you hover, it’s a nice thing to do. May I ask what you’re afraid of?

My take: One accusation, true or false, can tumble the most careful/innocent man’s life.

We, as men, (speaking generally, of course) go out of our way not to touch women in passing, not to look or smile at children, and be seen NOT doing these things as not to be confused with the scummy/twisted side of our gender. It’s too easy to have your life derailed by a woman with a vendetta, one that is after something, or (almost worse) a misunderstanding.

Obviously, the above is VERY generalized, but it’s something we have to think about when out in the world. One misinterpretation or bad actor can destroy everything we have.

The really sad part is that I TOTALLY get it. Women have every reason to be believed when accusing a man of advances or something worse because, in large, we’re pigs and have proven that time and time again. It’s near impossible to sort the good from the bad when it’s hearsay. All we have is our word. Which, fairly, doesn’t carry a ton of weight in the court of public opinion. Ergo.. women (in the wild) scare the hell out of me as well.

Now, whether the OP you’re responding to meant this or was just making a joke, I could be completely off base. But, as a dude, this is what came to my mind immediately upon reading that comment.

I feel like I’m stepping into a minefield with this response. Bracing myself for potential backlash, but there it is..

12

u/inthevelvetsea Sep 13 '24

Thank you for your thorough and honest response. I understand your concerns, and erring on the side of caution is often the best policy. I hope that your fear doesn’t inhibit you from making friends with women or dating them. The overwhelming majority of us are mostly harmless, somewhere between boring and cool, just like the dudes.

9

u/SSGGambit Sep 13 '24

Absolutely!

And, no, not in the least. I’ll chat with anyone if the vibe is right. Once that first hurdle of them realizing I’m not trying to be a creep (the wedding ring helps immensely), the conversation is completely uninhibited. My friend group is a solid mix and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

u/inthevelvetsea Sep 14 '24

My initial thought after reading this was that you are probably a fellow Xennial, so I took a little peek at your profile, and I think I might be right. I also watched a couple of your YouTube videos, and confirmed my other suspicion that you and your wife are absolutely adorable.

1

u/SSGGambit Sep 14 '24

Haha.. Yup! Nailed it! I have to know, what gave me away? 😆

Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you to say. I certainly count myself amongst the luckiest of people to have found a soul that matches mine so perfectly. She’s the light of my life.

2

u/inthevelvetsea Sep 14 '24

Hooray for you and your happy souls! I’m not sure what gave you away, exactly, it was more of your general tone and worldview. I spend (probably too much) time in r/Xennial, and your comments made me think I was in that subreddit for a second.

2

u/SSGGambit Sep 14 '24

Hey, ya know, if I’m easy to pick out of a crowd as a Xennial, I’m more than okay with that. There are so many worse things!

2

u/inthevelvetsea Sep 14 '24

We are a rare and beautiful breed, born of the old ways but adaptable to the new. We say “whatever” but we actually care a lot. We are inspired by the best of Gen X (Keanu!) and forged in the fires of latch key kids drinking from the hose on the Oregon Trail, and we dig the younger generations’ open-mindedness and digital ease. Goonies never die!

If they wanna touch him, fine. But that man is a pro with personal space.

u/i_wap_to_warcraft Sep 13 '24

A true gentleman and artist of the personal bubble

u/blackiegray Sep 14 '24

Isn't that a double standard? Why is it fine for them to touch him?

7

u/The_River_Is_Still Sep 14 '24

You’re a double standard.

u/blackiegray Sep 14 '24

Hey, get out my personal space.

Consider yourself cancelled.

u/SpinningJen Oct 10 '24

I interpreted that as "he appears fine with people touching him but doesn't assume others are fine with being touched"

u/06EXTN Sep 13 '24

what's weird to me is that this is the exception and not the norm. IS it that difficult to not be a creep AND be famous?

37

u/kanst Sep 13 '24

My favorite story I saw going around social media recently was the Dallas Cowboys solution to this.

Whenever they do fan photos with the cheerleaders, they keep a Cowboys football around to give to the men to hold which keeps their hands busy an off the cheerleaders.

u/frisch85 Sep 13 '24 edited Sep 13 '24

Are you familiar about the story of Park Dae-Seung?

Videoexpalantion

TL;DR: The guy is an MMA fighter who won a match and was on a winning streak, as the winner it's customary to pose with the ring girls and the referee afterwards, but in this occassion apparently he was grabbing too harshly making her feel uncomfortable (two times) so she sued accused him for sexual harrassment, after that incident he refused to pose with any ringgirl afterwards.

That being said, better not risk it.

Edit: accused, not sued

17

u/ArmsHeavySoKneesWeak Sep 13 '24

Wait did the ring girl actually sued him? I may be wrong, but I remembered watching other sources that the ring girl was professional and okay with it. It was the viewers whom deemed it as sexual harassment and called him out of it.

17

u/frisch85 Sep 13 '24

I checked again and she didn't sue but accuse him of sexual harrassment, I've edited my comment, thanks for reminding me.

MMA Fighter Refuses to Take Photos With Ring Girl After Being Accused of Sexual Harassment

10

u/ryan8954 Sep 13 '24

All that blood and sweat in the ring, but a guy who's brain is running on half oxygen after a fight sexually harasses.... Yeah that makes sense to me.

Smart guy though. "fine fuck it. Stay the hell away from me"

u/terminalxposure Sep 13 '24

Its media training 101. Always show where your Han’s are all the time. Too many celebrities have been falsely accused

6

u/glenngillen Sep 15 '24

I was kinda sad when I discovered that’s why The Wiggles do the finger gun thing all the time. They knew it was a risk having photos with kids all the time, so doing that meant they didn’t risk someone accusing them of having their hands somewhere. Genius move on their part, just also disappointing they had to preempt that from the very beginning.

u/lokie65 Sep 13 '24

He respects himself. He respects others. He is admirable.

Playing Cyberpunk now and I didn’t know about Johnny. Now I’m thrilled.

u/SparseGhostC2C Sep 13 '24

Oh man, if Johnny was a suprise for you, you're in for a hell of a ride. What a game, enjoy it choom!

u/Persies Sep 13 '24

Just started my 5th playthrough this week. What an incredible game. I actually think Keanu got a lot better in the DLC too.

8

u/SparseGhostC2C Sep 13 '24

Agreed, I really didn't expect to see as much of him through the DLC, figured Idris Elba would be sort of taking his place as our celebrity guide through that storyline but Johnny was still there through a lot of it.

I think it's time for another playthrough, lol

u/Persies Sep 13 '24

They just added FSR3 support, runs super smooth. Even on a 3070 with ray tracing on I'm getting like 90 fps with everything else turned up.

1

u/HerrFledermaus Sep 13 '24

I have a 3080ti and I only have 40 fps I think. 🤔

1

u/Persies Sep 13 '24

What are your settings for FSR? I found if I put anything on auto it tanked fps for some reason. Also what resolution are you running it in? My monitor is 1440 not 4k.

1

u/HerrFledermaus Sep 13 '24

So I need to put it on AMD even when I have an NVIDIA RTX 3080ti?

2

u/Persies Sep 13 '24

FSR3 is better than DLSS 2 in my experience yes.

u/HerrFledermaus Sep 13 '24

Trying different settings. But I’m facing a bigger problem. My quickhacks aren’t working anymore because all of the sudden I have only 3 RAM 😀

u/TheToyDr Sep 13 '24

Does he know he could get basically any woman ?

23

u/NotBlaine Sep 13 '24

Interesting thing is... he's been fairly handsome for a number of decades at this point. Long before he was rich and famous, he probably wasn't hurting for company.

Odds are he did the math on that, just not very important to him anymore.

10

u/25thNite Sep 13 '24

I mean didn't a younger Charlize Theron admit that him and her were FWBs for a while and Sandy B was crushing hard on him during Speed. Upstanding and handsome dude for life

u/Dave_and_George Sep 13 '24

He does but he'd never say it out loud

I think it's sad that you can't even put your arm around someone because internet cave trolls are gonna get a fit about it. These fans want to be there, don't think they'll mind.
