happened to me in Maadie Egypt, and it was to a physical assault,, when I asked the police near by to protect the girl (in front of Maadi hotel) they refused to leave their post , and the boys managed to escape after beating the girl and could not kidnap her after I chased them with some others(but Ana Fa'ad ) ,, I had to take her to the police station and report what happened ,
In the meantime , I took a guy who was hit by a bus to a hospital , when the father came and knew from his son that I saved him , in the police station he acted like he did not know who hit his son only to take money from me,, (the police knew it was not me ) , the police advised me not to help anyone any more,,, I wonder if I can

For me. it would depend on the circumstances. At the very least, I would call the cops. On a sidenote, I have a friend who served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He had to go to Australia for an assigment of some sort and was told that if he saw a man arguing with a woman, to not intervene, even if the guy hit the woman...he was told that this was part of Australian culture and that Americans who interfere in disputes like this are likely to get beaten up.

It depends... if guys are acting out of line then maybe I step in. But if I don't feel that it is anything more than an argument that is none of my business. And I also have to account for the fact that is I step in, I may have a fight on my hands. And for anyone who thinks that it is a good idea to stick their nose where it doesn't belong, let me tell you it is a poor idea. One time I was in a disagreement with my gf and someone thought it was smart to say something to me and wouldn't leave me alone. Moral of the story is that he had to eat liquids through a tube for the next 6 weeks or so. Just saying.... not always a good idea to get involved. In that case, we were fighting with each other, but it was no more than yelling a little and we were dating for over a year at that point. Then the guy stepped in and continued to get in my face and push me away. Not a smart move

It depends on the situation. If guys are passing by and just said something, no I wont cuz it's everywhere and all the time. If the girl or girls are doing or wearing something wrong, also I wont.
Only if I feel the girl or woman really need help or in danger and she don't know what to do. It happened once that I stood between guys who were really annoying a girl too much. I didn't have to say anything just I blocked their way till she left. In most cases normal guys just stop or leave if they see any male approaching, this is what I try to do.
I haven't met a situation where it was more than words, but I think in this I will act.
I can tell you that in my field of work I punished many people severely for this reason and they deserve it. I just don't like to tell details about it.

I think the wise thing is discern between harassed and being physically assaulted. Today it is taking your life in your own hands if you confront someone in public. There is a ridiculous thing about respect going around. People shoot you for asking them to slow down where children are playing in the neighborhood.
I'd like men and women to get involved when they see someone being assaulted. But today it is safer to keep an eye on the situation but don't get involved ofer words.

i have intervened..twice. the first time the woman ended up defending her husband and attacking me and the 2nd time i got hit across the back of the head with a bottle so im not so sure if i would intervene again unless it was something really serious like rapeing or stuff like that.

Yes I did it on 4th of july last year, she was in an alley with her boyfriend and he was like holding her down. After I intervened another guy stepped in and then my husband stepped in. So after that I just stayed out of it, they were both just drunk. I would just walk up to them from a distance, generally from the guy, and say is everything ok? If one of them wants help trust me they will tell you after that.

If you mean intervene like picking a fight with the guy, no i would not unless that guy is being physical.
but i would try to distract that guy's attention away from the lady till she leaves. like saying "man, where did you get those gorgeous shoes??" or something like that. brains will always save you, muscles will probably kill you.
I have to say, some ladies seem to be enjoying it, that's whan I get jealous!!!

I was being harassed by my ex husband in public once and a group of 3 men almost beat the crap out of him, but he left before it came to that... I've had women get in the middle of us before, too, come to think of it. Not a guy, just thought I'd offer my experience.

If she is hot, is goodlooking or is cute, then I would get involved and help her.
It actually depends upon the situation. If there are more than 3 of them, then of course I will not even think of doing that. Though I will defenitely inform the police.
It is very easy to say so but in an actual situation, I dont think that anyone of us will help her.
