Cruise passenger fumes after learning raunchy reason women were flirting with him

They thought he was doing a different kind of 'cruising.'
A cruise passenger was steaming mad after he realized the shocking reason why strangers were paying so much attention to him on board, detailing the reveal in a TikTok video with over 19 million views
In the viral clip, filmed from his female partner's point of view, content creator Ricky Bobby is seen lounging on the deck of a Carnival Cruise ship with his paramour as fellow passengers ogle, interact with and even touch him.
'They would whisper things under their breath,' she described in the caption. 'And even sometimes flirt with us.'

At one point, a woman in a blue swimsuit even grabs him by the hand.
Then, all of a sudden, it dawned on the couple why Bobby was so popular on board.
'We heard them say 'look at his pineapple shirt,'' exclaimed his partner as the camera pans to him donning a shirt that's emblazoned with the tropical fruit.
Bobby didn't realize his pineapple shirt inadvertently signaled that he was cruising for a maritime sex swap.

While the symbol may seem innocuous or festive, it's also a sign that people are up for swinging, defined by engaging in group sex or swapping sexual partners.
This pastime is particularly popular aboard cruise ships, where randy travelers have been known to pin pictures of upside-down pineapples to cabin doors to let fellow pleasure boaters know they're in the mood for a salacious switcheroo on the high seas.
Bobby was reportedly 'p–sed' over his accidental SOS (sex on ship) signal, per the clip, which ends with the embarrassed content creator sitting on the deck chair without his pineapple-riddled attire.
However, commenters found it hilarious that he inadvertently let his 'freaky' flag fly.
'Just looked up what upside down pineapple means. Howling,' said one bemused commenter, while another wrote, 'Blue swimsuit was trying to get chosen.'
In fact, Bobby claimed that the latter woman even reached out to him on TikTok following the incident, writing, 'HEY GUYS!! BLUE SWIMSUIT GURL FOUND ME ON TIKTOK.'
Others shared similar moments of sending mixed signals via pineapple-themed couture.
'I made the same mistake, I got called out by the comedian on the cruise ship during his show,' said one embarrassed commenter. 'The rest of the cruise I was called Mr. pineapple shirt. I had no idea…most def threw it in the trash.'
'Me and my ex didn't know and had matching pineapple shirts on a cruise — we were like people are so nice and keep talking to us.'

Woman Lives with Her Husband, Her Ex and Their Kids. She Says It's the Best Decision They Ever Made (Exclusive)

After a dramatic breakup and a surprise pregnancy, Megan and Michael, first childhood best friends turned soulmates, found their way back to each other Tyler, Megan's ex-husband, chose to stay close for their daughter's sake, setting aside pride to build a peaceful home alongside Megan and Michael Now, Megan, Michael and Tyler live together with their children, showing their co-parenting style in a viral TikTokAgainst all odds and every societal rulebook, one family is thriving under one roof, made up of a woman, her ex-husband, her current husband and their two kids. It's a household stitched together not by tradition, but by healing, honesty and a fierce commitment to doing what's best for their children. 'Tyler and I got married in January 2020, and then [Michael] and I obviously went no contact,' Megan tells PEOPLE, recalling the journey that led her to share a home with her ex-husband, Tyler, and her now-husband, Michael. That journey, which is equal parts unconventional, honest and unexpectedly beautiful, has made the trio unlikely TikTok stars, drawing tens of thousands of followers who are captivated by their unorthodox but deeply functional family life. The TikTok account started almost on a whim. Megan says she never expected the response they received. 'Honestly, I just thought it was crazy,' she shares. 'And I was like, I bet there's a few people out there that are going to get a kick out of this. And then it blew up overnight.' That "crazy" setup has a surprising calm at its core. Megan and Michael were childhood best friends who met at church and stayed close through high school. 'We were pretty much best friends from the moment we met,' she says, smiling at the memory. They eventually dated, broke up dramatically and lost contact. Then life brought them back together in a way neither expected. After years apart, a chance reconnection while Megan was in rehab led to a quick rekindling of their friendship and eventually, a marriage. 'We got married a month after reconnecting,' Megan says. 'Not proud of the timeline, but I don't regret it.' Megan's marriage to Tyler, meanwhile, had ended shortly before her reunion with Michael. As a newly single mom, she reached out to Michael for help finding work. 'He did. He helped me get a job with his mom,' she recalls. 'That's kind of how we reconnected.' Things moved quickly after that. Megan discovered she was pregnant with Michael's child and found herself navigating a cross-country move, single parenting and co-parenting with Tyler — all while trying to make things work with Michael. South Carolina became their compromise. 'I told him my only requirement is that I needed a beach,' Megan says. 'And of course he was like, 'Yeah, I'll go anywhere to be with you and our son.' ' For a while, she carefully managed two separate households, coordinating handoffs of her daughter with Tyler so that he and Michael didn't cross paths. 'These two were never in the same place at the same time,' she remembers. 'I would send one to the store when the other was around.' Then one day, everything changed. Tyler was building furniture at Megan's house for their daughter when Michael needed to stop by. 'I was panicking,' Megan recalls. 'I looked at Tyler, and I was like, 'Michael has to come to the house right now.' And he kind of shrugged at me. He was like, 'I don't care anymore. I'm not mad. He can be here when I'm here.' ' That moment of grace shifted everything. 'I just think it was the grace of God,' Tyler tells PEOPLE. 'One day, I just woke up. I'm like, man, this is kind of silly. He's going to be here forever, so I might as well just suck up the pride.' From there, things moved fast. Megan floated the idea of all three living together. 'We all get along really well,' she remembers telling them. 'What if we just all got a place together?' To her surprise, they were both on board. 'We created a group chat and started sending properties,' she says. 'And two months later, we moved in here.' The adjustment, of course, wasn't easy. 'Tyler was up and down a lot when we first moved in together,' Megan says. 'Lots of emotional rollercoasters.' Tyler doesn't deny it. 'It was just a big range of emotions. This is great. I love it. This sucks. I hate it. I'm getting out of here next week,' he says, only half-joking. But he stayed for a reason that's easy to understand. 'My daughter,' he says plainly. 'I grew up in a semi-broken home. And I didn't want that for her. I was like, I'll do whatever it takes.' That meant giving up his dream job temporarily. 'I stopped being a cop just to move down here,' he says. 'I was like, whatever. I'll be a janitor if I have to, as long as I get to see my daughter.' For Michael, the dynamic has required its own emotional shift. 'It is definitely a rollercoaster,' he tells PEOPLE. 'But it's like a built-in friend that is never going to leave. So it's cool. It is so different from what I imagined for myself when I was in high school.' Reactions from friends and family have been all over the place. 'My dad, we blew up on each other and I didn't talk to him for five, six months,' Tyler says. 'At first, he was not fond of it. He was like, 'You're an idiot. Best of luck. See you then.' ' Today, things are better. 'He's like, 'Whatever works for you, man. I'm happy if you're happy.' ' Michael's mom is supportive, too. 'She loves Megan, she loves Tyler and all the kids,' he says. Inside the house, life is full but never predictable. 'It changes every single day,' Megan says. 'Let's say both the guys are at work. I stay at home with the kids, so we're out and about at the pool, at the beach, whatever. And then once the guys get home, it's usually to clean up, cook and they take the kids.' Evenings are usually spent together in the common area, not holed up in separate rooms. 'We use the common area more than we're ever alone in our rooms, hiding,' Megan says. The family doesn't hold formal sit-down meetings often, but communication is constant. 'It's kind of like we're doing everything on the fly,' Tyler says. 'We're usually like, 'Hey, don't do that.' or 'Hey, we should try this.' ' That open communication is part of what's made their unusual setup work. When asked what advice they'd give to others considering a similar path, Megan doesn't hesitate. 'Really focus on your healing first,' she says. 'If there is still so much bitterness towards your co-parent, it is going to cause an unhealthy living situation for the kids.' Tyler agrees. 'You got to do it for the kids and you got to put your ego aside,' he says. 'Your kid only gets one childhood.' Michael adds that it's about selflessness. 'Being slow to anger. Redoing the whole ego thing,' he says. 'It all works within itself.' As for their biggest TikTok misconception? Many believe that they're all romantically involved. 'We are strictly monogamous,' Megan says. 'Tyler is dating somebody and they're monogamous.' And while online judgment exists, it doesn't shake them. 'I'll get literal DMs,' Megan says. 'And I screenshot it and I send it to the group chat and I'm laughing. It doesn't faze me.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Tyler, who's back working as a police officer, is a bit more cautious. 'The only thing that it really affects is my job,' he says. 'People come up to me at work sometimes. 'Are you the guy from TikTok?' I'm like, 'Yeah, that's me.' ' Dating, he adds, is also complicated. 'We actually did a dating application. 1,300 responses later, none of 'em worked,' he says, laughing. Looking forward, the family has a dream to build a compound with separate homes on shared land. 'If they're not on board, they're out,' Tyler says. 'I'm going to do what's best for my family.' Over time, the experience has shaped all three of them in lasting ways. 'Patience and grace,' Tyler says. 'Megan and Michael also never argue. So it's something that's great to see.' Megan agrees. 'If you see the fact that I have patience, it's because I learned it from Tyler… The way he speaks to our daughter.' Michael nods, adding, 'Especially in Latino communities, it's all toxic. So just being selfless and slow to anger. It works.' At the heart of it all, Megan says, is their shared faith. 'None of this would be possible if it weren't for each of our individual relationships with the Lord,' she concludes. 'That's how we were able to heal and come together. There's a bigger picture.'

Woman About To Buy House Left Stunned by Realtor's Comment: 'Left the Room'

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. A video about a woman's uncomfortable moment during a final walk-through of her soon-to-be new home—when the estate agent casually asked if she was pregnant, despite her not being so—has gone viral on TikTok. The video, shared by New York State resident Megan Gillman (@unfilteredlifecoach), 36, sees the life coach and mother of a toddler recount the May incident. "So there are some people who don't know that you can't ask a woman this in 2025," she says in the video. Gillman explains that while touring the property on closing day, the estate agent unexpectedly asked her "When are you due?" Caught off guard, Gillman responded with "excuse me?"—only to hear the agent follow up with "Are you expecting?" After Gillman replied "no," the agent pressed once more, asking if she had "just had a baby recently." "No," Gillman replied again, saying: "I'm just a woman who happens to carry her weight around her mid-section." Gillman told Newsweek that she was mildly surprised by the comment but still found it inappropriate. "I think it's rude to ask any woman about whether she's pregnant, especially if you've only just met," she said. "However, I've been asked this question at least three times before in my life by people I don't know at all, both before and after actually being pregnant." This time, instead of brushing it off or cushioning the agent's discomfort, Gillman stood her ground. "Well, maybe you should just stop asking them," she said. In her video, which has received over 500,000 views since being posted, Gillman explained that she "left the room" after the exchange. According to an April 2021 YouGov study, 76 percent of Americans believe that "women are under more pressure than men are to have a certain body type." Screenshots from a viral TikTok video of a woman recalling a question that a realtor asked her during a house tour that left her stunned.

It may not have been a malicious mistake, but still, the estate agent should not have commented on her repeated questions from the agent suggest some deep-seated weight bias." Markey emphasized that people carry weight differently, and public assumptions about someone's body often reflect harmful stereotypes. "People's bodies come in different sizes and shapes—they do not all look the same," she said. Etiquette expert Liza Mirza Grotts was equally blunt. She said: "The rule is simple—don't speculate or congratulate. If a woman is expecting, she'll tell you. Never comment on a woman's body. Pregnant or not, it's none of your business until she makes it so." Carol Kaemmerer, an executive branding strategist and author, added that even well-meaning comments can cause harm. "When it comes to something as personal as pregnancy—or anyone's appearance—assumptions can wound, even when intention is harmless," she told Newsweek. "Respectful curiosity waits to be welcomed in." Gillman reflected on how her response has evolved over the years. "The first time I remember spiraling for days, stressing about my body and that little bit of belly fat I could never seem to get rid of no matter what diets and exercise I tried! I was so embarrassed," she told Newsweek. "After that I'd try to laugh it off... I'd say things like 'oh no! I just love doughnuts!' so that the person who'd made the statement felt like we were in on a joke together." But that approach has changed. "Now, after over a decade of random people asking me if I'm pregnant, I'm not trying to make them feel comfortable. I'm just trying to make them stop, even if it's just one at a time." Gillman said she had hoped society had moved beyond these kinds of body-shaming moments. "The expectation that a woman should have a flat stomach at all times is unrealistic, and often deeply harmful," she said. "I guess I thought we'd all learned that and started to try to be kinder to each other." To those unsure why these comments are offensive, Gillman offered a final piece of advice, saying "pick different small talk topics next time." Do you have a similar story to share?
