A growing number of spoof videos of men pretending to pick up women in bizarre ways have appeared on YouTube, including one where nude man wanders the streets with an erection asking for phone numbers.
While some say the trend displays harassing behavior, others think it’s just good fun.
As shocking as their behavior appears, these men have a surprising success rate.
Presumptuous: As part of a trend in YouTube videos where men ask women out in odd ways, FreddieFairhair asks women for their numbers while nude.
By far the most forward of all these videos is Naked Guy Picking Up Girls.
The title of the spoof says it all: a naked man who calls himself Freddie Fairhair approaches women on the street and asks for their number.
Not surprisingly, most of the women looks completely shocked.
A helper stands by with a microphone to get the women’s reactions.
Some immediately turn around and walk away, gasp, and one duo of girls yelps, ‘Holy s**t!
Grossed out: The grave gentleman approaches several women, most of whom react with shock and dismay.
‘You can have my number if you’d like’: Oddly enough, some of the prankster’s targets warm up to him.
Most of the women make their disinterest known.
‘Many of the women he ambushes laugh it off,’ writes the Daily Dot. ‘But that doesn’t make his invasion of women’s space any less troubling.’
Nevertheless, some actually warm up to the naked man.
‘You can have my number if you like,’ says one woman.
Fairhair approaches another group of women who he apparently especially likes.
‘I’m actually standing here having a boner,’ he tells as just laugh at him. ‘You turn me on. Is it visible? I don’t want to look.’
