Woman reveals how to combat unwanted male advances at the beach

A British tourist has gone viral after sharing her clever method for deterring persistent men on Bondi Beach in Australia.

In a video posted online, Leila Layzell can be seen fielding an unwanted request for her number. Her response? A playful yet effective question: “Can I show my mom my husband?”

The man’s reaction is immediate and telling. He covers his face, refusing to be on camera, and abruptly loses interest in obtaining her number.

The video has sparked a flurry of comments online, with many speculating about the man’s reasons for his sudden change of heart.

“If man is scared to show his face like that after asking for a number, he has wife or has criminal thoughts,” one commenter claimed.

Others echoed this sentiment, with comments like “They’re cheating” and “He’s most likely married, welcome to Sydney. This is a common recurrence” flooding the post.

Layzell’s tactic has resonated with many, highlighting the uncomfortable reality women often face when dealing with unwanted advances.

By introducing the idea of “meeting the mother” via FaceTime, she effectively introduces a level of accountability and potential scrutiny that quickly separates genuine interest from something more fleeting – or even deceptive.

“This is a good way to see if they have good intentions or not,” a viewer commented, while another praised Layzell, saying “Doing god’s work bestie.”
