What would you get from shagging Margot Robbie?What will your average girl get from shagging Mendy? Something to tell all the girls on a group chat?

I had to Google her and I’m confident that we’ve never had sex.What would you get from shagging Margot Robbie?

Well yeah, but if she was to offer you a shag, would you turn around and say "what's in it for me?"I had to Google her and I’m confident that we’ve never had sex.

FfsSorry if I offended you, but your post was wrong, and given the comments about "revenge", how people have "ruined Mendy's life", and that they should be prosecuted for trying to "frame him", it is important to understand that we simply don't know what happened, and we don't know why the jury made their decision.
"7 women gave evidence against him over 2 separate trials. 2 juries heard ALL the evidence over many weeks and believed him over every single one of them"
Was the original statement someone else made and that you said was "exactly how it works".
That's not how it works.
In a civil court the decision might me made on who is believed more - so it could be a decision where you're 51% sure something happened - where one party is marginally more persuasive.
In a criminal court, one side has to prove "beyond reasonable doubt" - which is considered to be more like being 98-99% sure. Even if the women were more persuasive, and the jury believed their stories were more likely to be true than Mendy's, they could still find him not guilty if they had doubts.
I'm not making a judgement on this case, but a jury could think he was "probably" guilty and they would still have to find him "not guilty", as "probably" isn't enough. Therefore "not guilty" is NOT the same as believing him over every single one of the women.

No. I’d genuinely knock her back.Well yeah, but if she was to offer you a shag, would you turn around and say "what's in it for me?"
I last had meaningless sex in my late 20’s with a female friend and it ruined our relationship with each other. We were never the same again.
Whilst the rape allegations were awful, had Mendy been able to control himself then these allegations could never have been made.

I'm sympathetic to the argument that social media makes us feel like judge jury and executioner, in league with others.
It's a fantasy, an toxic. It's irresponsible, and illusory, but it has real consequences for individuals and society.
It's part of the addictive emotional mechanisms social media companies are selling us, without any care for us or the wider world.
The legal system has protected us for centuries. It is not perfect, but it is under your control, via democracy. It is debated and thought about in as much depth as possible. We must respect it, and reject the desire to impress ourselves with our ability to pass judgement without any care as to what duty we might have in doing so. As soon as you start on social media, your emotions are in charge. There is no way around that, it is how every aspect of every system has evolved - to trap you in cycles where you FEEL like you MUST keep using it.

As I’ve explained in another post of course his behaviour isn’t “normal” - whatever that actually means.is it legal to pay a prostitute in the UK?
If it isn't then it isn't acceptable behaviour, is it?
:)
Though the claim he has slept with over 10k women, now that would take some doing at 1 new woman a day that is over 27 years of shagging lol
So if we have to make it 3+ women a day to make it reduce the timescale, is that then normal sexual behaviour?
Come on now, it isn't, is it?
This is nothing to do with his case either btw.
The fact a behaviour isn’t “normal” doesn’t automatically mean someone is a deviant.
And just because something is illegal doesn’t make someone a deviant either.
Millions of us regularly break the legal speed limit by a few mph does that make everyone a deviant?

I’m not sure where you’re going with this? If you read my original post, it basically says that the media portrayed him as a deviant but once you see all the evidence then it was clearly wrong.
In essence, I’m saying that he can do whatever he wants as long as it’s within the law. Which it was.
You’ll do for me.
