I read it as she’s working against her own intentions, but whatever. I’ve seen women flirt like this, so the pushback and consistent lack of variety in the comments I see on these scenarios in comics always blows my mind.
Honestly, the bothering to call him a pervert is more attention than he deserves from her, and only his companion’s anger likely to actually bother him, but I’ve seen this done both “hey lady, your guy sucks” and “hey lady, your guy says I look better than you”, nevermind the occassional bar unicorn, but bars are their own alternate dimension I’m no good at navigating.
On the other hand, TIL Gaze-in-passing is “negative attention”. Taking it verbal like-so is escalation, and just as likely, if not more-so, to be meant to make his companion insecure as have anything to do with actually chastizing him. Y’all are at least as gross as the incels for assuming this is about shaming her for how she’s dressed.
Last thought: needs another frame so we can see where the other lady’s eyes were when her-and-dude were walking by, and the expression on her face. Dollars-to-donuts, its the same face as is now directed at the man, directed at MC.
