For two week, one woman blew every man's mind that she came in contact with. Not only did she take the time to engage in conversation with creepy dudes who had cheesy pick up lines, but she pretty much said yes to almost every invitation that came her way, and the results were more than interesting.
Oh, Hey There...
As a social experiment, Vice France Judith Duportail thought it would be interesting to say 'yes' to every guy than came her way. That meant she would answer every catcall, engage in every conversation, and respond to even the creepiest of pick up lines. She did set perimeters for herself; if anything was threatening or uncomfortable, she reserved the right to say no and run for cover.
First Things First
Starting off her experiment, Judith's first encounter began while she was waiting for her train at Paris's République Station. A man approached her, and thinking her was as slick as oil, told her that they "should get to know each other a bit better." She wrote that when she said okay, he stood there shocked.
Not Too Bad
Although their conversation started off awkwardly as they were both waiting for the train, they eventually found out little details about one another. However, when Judith mentioned she was 29-years-old, the chit chat abruptly came to an end. She tried to recover the conversation as the train approached, but he wasn't having any of it. He boarded and sat as far away from her as he could.
The Headache
One day she had just finished jogging when she came across a man in his 40s who thought it would a great idea to talk to Judith about how much support her breasts are getting while she runs. Rambling on, he eventually asks her if he could touch her breasts, adding some sugar to the pot by mentioning that he'd even pay her. When she said no, he turned things around as if she was insecure saying, "Oooh, you should have said that you weren't feeling confident about your body." Sigh.
The Hot Guy
Judith met a man named Yacine who seemed to tickle her fancy. Not only was he good looking, but he was charming. They met as she was sitting in the park and soon began discussing the dynamics of male-female relationships. After a cheek-to-cheek kiss, Judith even gave him her digits. This experiment just might land her a man!
Secret Society
Things just couldn't keep coasting on a high note. A few days later the social experiment turned strange after Judith met Abdelkarim, a 23-year-old who believed that her job as a journalist meant that she was wrapped up in secret societies.
"Oh really? You're a journalist? So you're a Freemason? Stop lying. You're a Freemason. Or your dad is?," he asked her before ditching the conversation and going on about his way.
The Beer Dudes
The next day a couple of La Sorbonne University student walked by as Judith was sitting at a terrace and casually mentioned that she should go have a drink with them. When she said okay they couldn't believe it but all three made their way to a local bar for a beer.
So...My Place?
One of the friends hit the road and Judith walked the other out. He began stammering, trying to figure out the best way to attack, and he finally just asked her back to his place so they would have a quieter place to, you know, "talk."
The Letdown
As politely as she could, Judith said ixnay on the late night visit. It didn't matter whether or not she was kind with the letdown or not because the youngin' didn't take the rejection well.
Hurt Little Name-Calling Puppy
As the guy turned to leave Judith, she heard him mumble to himself in frustration. Dragging his feet he asked, "So, why did you have a drink with us? Anyway, Judith is a slutty name." Nice, kid. Nice.
