Viral video of a man staring at a model while taking a drag of his cigarette was praised by some for showing restraint—but others still felt it was creepy and gross.

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.


You can watch below.

Another angle shows the full back and forth.

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."





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









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.

AG Pam Bondi's Brother Blames 'Rabid Partisans' After Getting Absolutely Walloped In DC Election

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has often bragged about his overwhelming victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming he won by a landslide. But while he did manage to finally win a popular vote in 2024, something he lost in 2016 and 2020, it was hardly a landslide.

About 90 million eligible, registered voters didn't bother to vote at all in 2024, while Trump garnered only ~77 million votes, VP Harris received about ~75 million—a difference of only ~2 million which is less than the population of Trump's hometown of Queens, New York City.

Kristi Noem's Past Views On National Guard Come Back To Bite Her After She Backs Trump Amid LA Protests

California Governor Gavin Newsom called out the hypocrisy of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after sharing a clip from last year showing she'd once criticized the Biden administration for considering deploying the National Guard when Democrats suggested it as a response to Texas' immigration crackdown at the time.

That's noteworthy because Noem has made an about-face, defending President Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests in response to his administration's immigration raids by claiming he'd taken this drastic step "for the safety of this community ... to keep peace."
