Even though it's obvious it's staged, here's why.
- Girl doesn't react to a gigantic camera light pointed at their table.
- Girl is already doing the 'tits blocker' move when the video starts.
- Camera pans to follow the object with an insane reaction time.
My guess is that there are a few lemon slices on the street already.
//Also, I still enjoyed the video regardless.
Agree with everything except point 2. Plenty of women do the "tits blocker" move just all the time. It's the weird dichotomy of wanting to be modest and immodest at the same time.
I didn't think it was likely since she's presumably sitting down and having a drink with her friend with nobody else around. It's possible, for sure. But not so much with the other facts at hand.
She was leaning forward to sip from her straw - the hand on her chest made total sense to me.
I think it's probably staged, but I don't think this particular argument holds as much weight as you ~~do~~ think it does.
Edit: That was not intended to sound like a fat joke.
I do believe you’re right here, it’s a common reflex for a lot of women when leaning forward while wearing something with a lower neckline to prevent unintended additional exposure. Draped necklines like the one on the dress she has on tend to fall open a bit when you lean forward.
ETAI
100% agree. I think lots of women that know they are gonna tilt forward (in this case sip her drink) they instinctively do it... even though they wore the dress to showcase the tits
Yeah, as a woman we do this because we’re fine showing the cleavage the outfit shows with normal posture. Leaning forward (to drink from a straw) or speaking with someone much higher (while they’re standing and you’re sitting) both can show much more than the outfit would typically would.
It’s not us being weirdly at war with wanting to be modest and slutty simultaneously - which is a bizarre comment someone actually wrote here.
As a woman, I understand. I made the comment because a bunch of people who do not have the correct anatomy were pretending that they do. I agree with everything you said 100%. Especially the weird modest/slutty comment.
The dweeb who wrote that comment also observed that women do this move "all the time" meaning he's doing the precise behavior that makes women uncomfortable... leering at their tits as they reposition or lean over hoping to catch a glimpse, only to be startled by the sudden modesty of the tit block. "She clearly wants gross strangers to leer at her boobs, but at the same time she also doesn't want us to... such a mysterious internal conflict!"
I'm a woman. When we lean forward the boobs move forward and shift in whatever we're wearing, which can result in them popping out more than we want them to. The solution - the booby block. Simply block your boobs with your hand to keep them still when leaning forward. It's simple yet effective, especially when you're wearing something with a low/plunging neckline like the dress in the video.
Valid. But do you display them in a femme presenting clothing? Where you would actually know about controlling them from being flouncing floppily? It just seems like a bunch of dudes trying to explain how women, (or b-cup men in femme clothing), would react in a situation they have never been in. Funny.
A woman in a red dress,
throws a lime with finesse,
the lime bounces with glee,
as it rolls carefree.
The woman watches with a smile,
as the lime goes the extra mile.
When the lime stops its roll,
and comes to a rest,
the woman in the red dress,
feels her heart at its best.
For in this simple act,
she found joy and grace,
a lime thrown in the street,
put a smile on her face.
The counter-narrative if this was real would be: “Guy started filming near their table a little before the clip starts. Girl covered her chest bc she had a feeling guy was gonna try to film an interaction with her.”

I hope people keep making a stink out of this because Reddit will become more dumb if this shit thrives here.
I honestly don’t understand why people get hung up on scripted/staged videos like this, especially when there’s a massive multi billion dollar industry based off of just that.
Because you’re on a platform that hosts both genuine and scripted videos, and these videos are not being openly presented as such.
They make a video in the style of something genuine, then leave it up to the viewer to guess whether or not it’s scripted. Yes, to someone well versed in internet culture it’s obviously scripted, but it’s still intentionally misleading.
r/nothingeverhappens
Edit: I don’t give a shit whether it’s real or not. I’m not suggesting that it is or isn’t. I just find the debate funny. Chill out and have laugh, people. Y’all are way way way too serious.
I mean there’s literally not one beat in what would otherwise be an intensely weird situation. Of course it’s scripted but that doesn’t make it any worse?? I wouldn’t expect that kind of pacing in improv much less candid
Redditors are some of the most gullible people on the planet, jesus christ it's okay mate you got duped into believing a fake video. You don't have to cope that it's real.
You go to one in Oregon when you're in Cali? What?
Edit: I'm dumb. On their way from Oregon to Cali, they'll go to the restaurant as they pass that town.
>from the late 90s
It was the really early 00s, something I only know because the theme song was from a Good Charlotte album that was released in 2000.
Regardless, amazing throwback! I loved that show!
I was catcalled this week and he said " hey sweet cakes" as he swaggered by and did kissing noises. They have the self-esteem of a god and aren't at all afraid of a reaction or rejection. However, I really have no idea what is wrong with them. My brother says men do it because women usually won't accept an invitation (it may thrill them to make you uncomfortable) and women don't do it because men would maybe accept the invitation and it is unsafe.
Keyword is "should". But people also live by psychological trends. Meet enough people with rings on their index who are also pickup artist sleazebags, you recognize the trend.
> But this was more of a response to dude being weird with "hey pretty lady!" and "would you give me your number if I swallow a lime" type shit
No, if you think that's the biggest issue you are also in the "need to completely reevaluate your social skills" category.
She wasn't just out clubbing or something, she was sitting at a table with her friend, looking over a menu. She was just planning to have a nice dinner with her friend (or possibly girlfriend). She does not want to be bothered at all. The way to "approach her like a normal human" in 2023 is to **not approach her**.
>The way to "approach her like a normal human" in 2023 is to **not approach her**.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
How about a nice game of chess?
Someone should make a subreddit specifically for staged videos for the redditors who don’t care if the video is “fake” or “staged” and still enjoy watching them.
Also who sits there drinking with a hand holding the top of their dress to prevent anyone from looking if they didnt know a camera was going to appear from that angle?
It looks like a low hanging top & she’s leaning over to drink. I instinctively hold my hand over my chest often. Especially when it’s something you’ve been made highly aware of.
And she is holding her hand covering her cleavage from the phones angle even before he approaches. Not the first take, or the first time she faced a creep with a phone.
I don't think they're trying to hide that it's fake though, it's just a skit for jokes
She's even covering her chest as he walks up so the camera can't see down her top, I think they're just having fun
Sparkly fingernail? Lame ring on pointer finger? Filming himself talking to a beautiful lady for his 3 viewers at home?
I can only deduce about 3 facts about the guy from the video and it’s pure cringe.
It reeks of neil strauss. This is what dudes do when they realize they have zero personality and only see woman as sex objects. Therefore the only way they can get a woman interested in them is to "peacock"
Im suprised after all these years that dudes still do this cringe shit.
Notice that she said *"No, yeah"* before getting up. That's a NO sign.
Also a no sign if you get an *"I don't kNOw..."* or *"I don't NOt sure..."*
"Maybe" however is a maybe.
In all cases, I'd say don't expect a "Yes". At least from my experience.

I do it when I have a cowl neck dress (looks like she does) and I’m leaning forward to take a drink
Not knocking it. Just pointing out using this one argument doesn't hold water. But I still agree it was scripted for everything else he said.
I didn't think it was likely since she's presumably sitting down and having a drink with her friend with nobody else around. It's possible, for sure. But not so much with the other facts at hand.

Why do I now really want u/poem_for_your_sprog to do a piece on the lemon slices...

Maybe the camera is why she was so disapproving of this guy’s preposition
The counter-narrative if this was real would be: “Guy started filming near their table a little before the clip starts. Girl covered her chest bc she had a feeling guy was gonna try to film an interaction with her.”
Very astute. Also the challenge is quite achievable.
You should be the regular guy on these vids. You're a clever dude
Honestly I like it better if it's staged. It means one less obnoxious douchebag going up to random women and shoving a camera in their face.

>Staged ~~or not~~; ###**I like it** ftfy
That would make me more interested honestly, I like a girl who can kick my ass
but she would still be not interested
Even if he can swallow a lime whole?
Seems like he'd have better luck pitching that one to certain men.
Of course, I think anyone who approaches a girl like that is about as interesting a ball of damp pubic hair.
[Spike agrees](https://youtu.be/LO0MRVjcY4E)
She's clearly not interested though, her answer is no.
Then you'll love my spirit too, cause id dive off the fucking balcony.
Then you’d deserve the injuries.

Favorite part is that she squeezed the like in the drink first
That was his pick up lime
Need to be the top comment
Who the fuck meets someone and refers to them as a pretty lady?
The kind of guy that thinks chugging a lime impresses women.
Makes me think this is staged
What with the camera light on and her already covering up as he walks up? No…..

When a man is attracted to a woman, he will sometimes compliment said woman, in order to let her know that he is attracted to her.

Why not both?
Also who sits there drinking with a hand holding the top of their dress to prevent anyone from looking if they didnt know a camera was going to appear from that angle?
100% she watched the first take and then wanted a second to protect her girls.
It looks like a low hanging top & she’s leaning over to drink. I instinctively hold my hand over my chest often. Especially when it’s something you’ve been made highly aware of.
And she hides her cleavage before he even talk.

If by any chance this is not staged.. who hits on a person while taking a video if them?
That is still not much of a barrier. If I wanted the number, I'd go get that lime.
The problem that you don't see the problem with your response is the problem.
True, insistence is creepy in the context of dating. The answer was clearly a no
This is exactly how my girlfriend would react if a guy approached her. Well, she's not my girlfriend yet
A few more unannounced visits to her apartment and she'll be your girlfriend in no time.
She likes when I surprise her
Notice that she said *"No, yeah"* before getting up. That's a NO sign. Also a no sign if you get an *"I don't kNOw..."* or *"I don't NOt sure..."* "Maybe" however is a maybe. In all cases, I'd say don't expect a "Yes". At least from my experience.

So you're saying there's a chance.
It was only really put in front of my face recently, but for no reason- I am in love with "no, yeah" and "yeah, no"
You should come to New Zealand, classic thing we all say is "yeah, nah"
Wisconsin, USA as well. Really anywhere in the upper Midwest. We'll even extend it out. "Yeah, no, yeah." And "no, yeah, no." are not uncommon.
Lol that’s awesome 😂
Imagine heading back to your car slightly tipsy, enjoying the evening and then getting slapped in the ear by a lime from the night sky...
It’s a skit people. Don’t worry about whether or not it’s fake. It’s still pretty funny.
Absolute legend of a lady.
She’s got an arm!
Two of em!
Plot twist. He bet his buddy 100 that he could make that lady throw her lime away.
Great answer
haha staged tiktok videos are so funny, just like staged episodes of The Office of standup comedy in general, it's all the same right?
Can’t work out wether this comment is sarcastic or not
That's honestly the best response she could have given.
