Honestly, he would probably enjoy it...lol.

They happened to be peers, but whatever. It's not something I would have done personally. The lady was pretty though

Agreed, men who are successful with women will not be affected much.

A confident man knows how to approach a potential partner, but he also knows how to back off if the interest is not reciprocated.

At the same time, I can say many guys (normal good guys) are scared to approach women and give them any impression they are interested. So from my perspective the entire dating/approach spectrum has changed whether women want to admit it or not. From now on, many guys will not be aggressive or appear interested at all. So if you are insecure and don't get hit on, this could be a viable option.
What a load of BS.

If a guy has good intentions, no reasonable woman is going to shun him. COP. OUT.

I’ll have to disagree, plenty of people shun potential partners all the time for any reason. Most people are not romantically compatible. However, only an idiot would then do something legally questionable as a result of being shunned by a romantic interest.

Let's be honest here. If two guys, one she was attracted to, gave that same compliment to her, she would love it coming from the guy she's attracted to. But she would deem to inappropriate from the guy she wasn't attracted to, but at the same time love it because it feeds her need for an attention fix. Females need attention like a heroin addict needs heroin.

The question I'm asking is where do we draw the line between flirtation (possibly undesired) and harassment.

What are the hard and fast rules?

Doesn't really answer my question, does it?

This is a good plan of action. The feminist gangs won't have any ammunition against men and will have to start suing each other.

I think maybe because women in the workplace want to be recognized for their job, not their looks. Goes back to the only worth of a woman is her looks and dismissing their work performance.

I mean do you go up to your male peers at work and comment on how shinny their hair is or tell them that shirt looks good on them, or is it job related like you did a good job on that report, etc.

IDK, that kind of thing doesn't bother me.
