Anger Management...
Any douche that blatantly calls me or my gf anything bad, would get my blood boiling too. You did the right thing, by ignoring the tool. He is not worth your time anyways, so don't let it get to you. Go hit the slopes and have a couple cold ones and enjoy your time!

MF is just jealous he does not have a hot girl like yours obviously. although it would be awesome to give him a Irish bow tie...I agree with most tho, do your best to let it go.
that being said, it would have been pretty cool if you went right over to him while he was talking **** and stood awkwardly close and asked him to stop and wait for him to do something. self defense?!

My policy is if the antagonist is not doing anything physical ignore it cause it isn't worth the trouble of getting arrested for. A lot of times the people who talk **** never back it up. You said he was a big sloppy looking bastard that's probably how he gets away with it with his size. The ones who bark the most almost never do anything when you slap them across the face, they'll just say you assaulted them. It is the quiet ones you need to be worried about.
You did the right thing for yourself. He'll get his eventually because the next guy may not be so forgiving.

what sucks is that in the eyes of the law, you did the right thing
what sucks is that in the eyes of man.. well.. ya know
it's kinda the same mentality when some ricer revs up on you at a stoplight.. they might think they're cool when they're in the car.. but when push comes to shove, they won't do **** when you step out to see what their problem is

I would have told him to go f' himself and make fun of his physical features (fat? Beard? Stinks?) and whatever to provoke him... Wait for him to hit you, dodge the hit and beat the crap out of him, after all, you are defending yourself from someone that was trying to cause you physical harm. Never hit first, EVER! Make sure it's a defense situation and witnesses are your friend.
That's what I would have done when I was like 20 years old... Now that I'm 30, things like that don't bother me anymore... With age comes patients and wisdom, and you learn to ignore things... Basically you are able to control your anger, stay rational and look at the situation in a different light. Instead of thinking "I want to beat the CRAP out of this guy!!!", I now think "Man, I feel bad for this guy... He looks like crap and probably has a really crappy life", and after all, it's just words. If he physically assaulted your GF, that would be TOTALLY different, but just saying stuff to someone really doesn't require physical violence.
Man, I'm getting old... I never would have thought that I would say something as rational as that in regards to the same situation... 10 years ago I would have shoved a brick through his eye socket without hesitation, but now stuff like that doesnt bug me nearly as much as before.
How old are you BTW? Im just curious.

you did the right thing. Its not worth beating his *** and you taking full blame for everything. You should of just told him to **** off and die. That would pretty much get the point across.
I was stuck in the same situation a few years ago, but it wasn't on the slopes. It happened in the good ol marina district, full of drunken frat dudes. Friday night, some dude tried to start drama with me and my friends. We let it slide. Fast forward to Saturday night, same guy starts the same drama from the night before but pulls the race card on me. Lets just say he ended up on the sidewalk with a bloody lip, cracked tooth, and a huge hit to his ego (plus my elbow hurt like hell for about 2 days). Now that I look back, it wasn't worth it at all. I know I was better than that but sometimes you just snap without thinking about it.

you should know better. get real close whisper and jab that sweet sweet spot in the center of his chest. theres no laws against defending your ladies honor.

So I was at Northstar yesterday, walking into the village with my GF, when this flabby, PBR tall boy drinking scumbag who looked like he needed a long shower and a shave starts calling out **** to my GF. Needless to say, this made my blood boil. Now, when I was in the Marines, this would obviously be the green light for me to rearrange this dude's face, but in these situations in "real life", it gets me so ****ing confused. If I do anything to this dude, he's going to whine to cops/security/lawyers, and if I do nothing, he just keeps doing this to every girl that walks by. That **** isn't right. I keep walking through this in my head thinking "should have done something, should have shoved my foot so far up that dude's *** he can taste it."
I was pretty much paralyzed by the confusion about what to do. I didn't end up doing anything because we both snowboard pretty much constantly, and it would be a total bummer to get kicked out of this place (especially since we have a condo here, which would go to waste if we can't board). There were also little kids around with their Moms and stuff which would probably be totally traumatized by the severity of the beating I was prepared to give this dude.
So what have you guys done in a situation like this?
I'm just hoping I see the same dude somewhere on the slopes away from witnesses and security... Especially if he's sober. That way he can feel/remember the consequences of ****ing with the wrong people.

Either tattle on him to security for harassing the women or call him over to a more secluded area for a hands on lesson in manners.
I wouldn't blame the "pussification" of the US for resisting a fist fight in front of families and children. That's almost never acceptable.

You can't beat ppl up for talking 'ish. If you could, then internet forums wouldn't exist.
Best plan of action: grab your GF, plant a big kiss on her face, while flipping him off, then go enjoy the snow.
Message - "I'm here with a chick I get to bang, you're here acting like a child, and we are off to have a kickass time"

Yep. That would be demoralizing to him.
And sadly, I have a feeling that unless you had the right laywers that an kind of cat calls wouldn't even be looked at by law enforcement, etc, unless it is repeated many times.

Haha I'm 27. I have no problem controlling myself, as demonstrated. In fact, most people consider me the calmest dude they've ever met. But most people don't know what I'd do if there weren't laws against some of this ****. I guess it was the things he was saying that were just disturbing. It wasn't just insults, it was like "hey why don't you come over here and do x y z", just straight up sexual harassment. It was disgusting, and in front of all sorts of people.
