I'd be more worried about the guy who she says no to who keeps coming. Poor judgement... maybe, but who knows what signals he was reading into the situation at the time. He just sounds like a guy who doesn't have a lot of experience with women, and he tried to make a joke and it didn't go well. Now he's gotta read about his failed flirtation attempts in the NYT. That's gotta be rough.
If he was overt, or repetitive, or really sleazy... yeah sure, I'm not on his side. But to me this just comes off as a guy who hit on someone who was out of his physical league and she didn't appreciate it (probably also because she didn't get offered a job). I don't think Dave McClure deserves to be crucified over this.

- dbg31415 9y agoI'd be more worried if he made multiple advances to the same woman after being shot down multiple times by that woman. That's harassment. He's just... well... he seems like a really lonely guy.
- julianmarq 9y agoYou might have had a point in your first comment, now you're just defending a guy who won't even defend himself, for some reason.
- dbg31415 9y agoFair, it's late and I was just trying to clarify my point. This whole thread is toxic. Nothing but polarized opinions. I'd like it if there was more middle ground, and a lot less emotionally-charged up/down votes. When the points start feeling like Reddit, it's a huge turnoff.
