Its a symptom of being very pissed.
Yet daily, millions of people manage to get drunk without fondling another person without permission. Imagine that.
So? Daily, millions of others do. You don't know where he groped her, you don't know how pissed he was when he did it, you don't know if he felt bad or was proud of it, etc. etc.
People fuck up, and people fuck up majorly (and in different ways) when they're pissed. No need to fuck him over with this girl just because he made a little mistake whilst pissed.
"Groped" could mean he had his hand on her arse, its hardly the sex crime of the century.
Do you know what I do when I fuck up and feel bad about it, drunk or otherwise? I come clean and apologize. Which this guy hasn't done. To remind you, here is the description:
"while she was passed out drunk he 'felt her up'. I asked him what he meant. He said he just kind of groped her or whatever but not actual sex. ... Again, according to him, he didn't actually do the deed and he said he only did it for a few minutes before crashing on the couch"
So no, it wasn't a simple or fleeting "hand on her arse" it was "feeling her up" and "groping" for several minutes. And let's not forget, the OP got in a
fight with the guy about whether this was wrong. So obviously the guy did
not think that "feeling up" an unconscious girl for "a few minutes" was wrong.
The guy was sober enough to remember what he did and that he did it for several minutes, he didn't tell the girl what he did, he didn't apologize to her, and he didn't agree that it was wrong. This doesn't sound like a mistake by a decent guy, this sounds like practice for a rape by a sexual predator.
You're still making assumptions. Hand-on-arse is a grope. Second, the OP doesn't say they had a fight, nor does he particularly indicate that the guy vehemently defended what he'd done (nor does he indicate HOW the guy told him about what happened; did he sound proud of it, for example?).
Now if he his hands inside her pants, that's much different to just having his hand on her arse for a few minutes.
You cannot tell from the OP's description. You can all assume because you want to string up a "future sexual predator", but you don't know, and I think perhaps that you knowing would be a rather key part of giving someone advice about a situation, don't you?
All you can reasonably take from the OP is that the guy touched the girl after a night of drinking, told the OP (and you'd assume he didn't do much more then hold her arse if he told the OP anyway), and doesn't want the girl to know.
And that could be wrong, and I'd be perfectly happy to change my opinion of things
if we actually knew. But we don't. And you can't just go to the extreme interpretation of everything just because you want to demonize some guy, which you and 90% of the other people in the thread are doing.
And to clarify: I haven't seen any other posts from the OP, so if the rather ambigiuous first post is cleared up, then quote it to me.
Yes, the OP said they had a fight: "But I want your opinion on this because I don't feel right about it and
got into a huge fight over it." If he thought it was wrong, and ended up fighting with the friend about whether it was wrong, clearly they disagreed
therefore the friend likely did not think (or admit) it was wrong.
And the friend didn't say "
a grope" he said "felt her up... for a few minutes" -- maybe to you that sounds like he simply placed his hand on her ass but I personally doubt he would characterize a single touch as several minutes of "groping", and feel it necessary to explain he didn't have
actual sex with her. That sounds like more than an ass pat to me (and the OP obviously got the impression it was more than an ass pat too, because he was disgusted.) And it sounds like more than as ass pat because the friend doesn't want the
girl to know, either -- surely she would shrug off "just" a hand on the ass, if they're such close friends?
Besides, no one's talking about "stringing up" anyone, Mr. Hyperbole. We're saying the girl should be told what the OP was told. If he was told the friend "felt her up... for a few minutes" then that's the wording he should use, not any of this silly hand-on-arse imagining you're contriving to make it sound as innocent as possible.
No one is demonizing the friend, we're taking him at his word. He
said he groped an unconscious girl for several minutes. Period. The only way to make that sound acceptable is to start making up stuff like you are, about how harmless it probably was, when the friend himself seems to think it
wasn't harmless (because he argued about it, and doesn't want the girl to find out.) Not the behavior of a totally innocent guy who accidentally ass-patted a girl and is sorry, now is it?
