A guy on social media is being hailed as a hero for ogling a woman...but not for *too* long. You know, so it's totally praiseworthy.
A TikTok posted by influencer Barbara Gambatesa has gone viral, but not because of the amazing suit she's trying out, but because a man in the background lingers as he checks her out, smoking his cigarette and doubling back for seconds without "violating" her.

Do we...slow clap? Bust out the streamers? 
At the very least, the ogler deserves a pat on the back for not "violating" a complete stranger, at least according to some in the comments.
Yes, this behavior was applauded by many who congratulated him for doing "everything right."
perfect. he looked. he admired. he stole one more look, then simply went about his business. that's how you look at a beautiful person.

Fortunately, there were a few who felt the behavior was still creepy and not at all worthy of celebration.

@sabrinak_ellis @MissSassbox Are you not hearing how that sounds. Why is it now accepted that the norm IS to violate? Why are we clapping for this man for not being a criminal? When that should be the norm.

Psychologist Carly Dober pointed out that the positive reactions to the man's "restraint" just goes to show how much progress still needs to be made in modern society.
Dober said, per the New York Post:
“While restraint or holding back might be being celebrated by some men, that attitude might reinforce the belief that women are solely there to be accessed for pleasure by men, or to get attention from men and that they are being the ‘bigger person’ in not going out of their way to hit on women."She continued:
“Culturally, some men still also think that women wearing particular clothes or presenting themselves in certain ways still demands attention from the opposite sex.""This is still something that needs to change."We couldn't agree more.

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.
Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

        Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam
    
McKenzie Lynn Tozan
Nov 05, 2025
In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.
But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

The Flat Earth conspiracy theory is strictly a modern online movement, rumored to have begun as a prank, that gained momentum among people who mistrust authority through the power of social media.
 There is a persistent myth that Europeans in the Middle Ages believed the Earth was flat. But that is a 19th-century fabrication to sell Columbus Day, not historical reality.
