Free stuff at drive-thru? Pretty much never. But free stuff in general? I get it from men and women. At least once a month. Either something free or a random discount. Don't know why. I am pretty average.

As for being hit on in general? Once a month. 70% of the time I am completely oblivious someone is hitting on me. It was way more when I was actually "in public" more for my job. Now I work at home, so there is much less opportunity.

I consider "being hit on" as initiating a conversation, and making as many attempts as possible to prolong it and/or asking for contact info. Or trying for physical contact. I feel like entirely too many people seem to want a hug from me minutes after meeting. Or like what happened to me this weekend, attempt for kissing.

I do not get it. Maybe they want to hug someone with big boobs? Does this happen to the rest of you?

I got hugged by a homeless guy once. I was walking down the street in NYC near where I used to work and this guy saw me - stopped - smiled - and spread out his arms really wide! I thought that he must be someone that I knew from work but just didn't remember right away - so I smiled back! Then he hugged me. Then I noticed that he smelled like a homeless guy. Then I realized that he was one. Ooops.

I'm average, too, and I sometimes get stuff. Friendliness is a factor.

Are you open to hugs? Maybe you give off that body language.

Not at all. I am a dark skinned black woman. Depending on the day, people think I am Nigerian. :P Apparently I look really Igbo.

I used to be way more touchy feely when I was younger. I totally cut it down, so many people were like "you are sending mixed signals."

So I have no clue why randoms want hugs within minutes! It must go with the sign on my head that says "tell me your life story while we are in ther grocery store line."

Happened today. I was volunteering, gave a guy my pitch. He introduced himself and said, "can I have a hug?"

I posted here about the other quirky experience this weekend. Do I have weird pheromones?

There were 5 of us girls and there were a few guys talking to us and one of them asked if we wanted shots. He bought shots, handed them out, but didn't get one for me. It was pretty funny, so I bought myself one and joined the toast. Turns out he didnt want me to think he was 'interested' in me so he bought drinks for my friends but not me. So, I can't even get a free drink when I'm in a group

That was real ****ty of him and if I were one of your friends I would not have even excepted a drink from him bc of that. I woulda called him out on it too. Talk about bad game. What a jerk. Never heard of anyone ever doing such a thing. Jet where do you live? Some strange men in your town.

Stuff like this happens all the time to me, I'm not sure if I'm coming off as mean (both my guy and girl friends say I'm perfectly nice) or if guys just like to be a jerk to me. He was an out of towner and it's my local 'cheers' bar so I'm not going to make a scene. I've had a lot of men go out of their way to make it known that they're not interested in me and I'm thinking it's because I'm too nice and it might come across as being interested on them. I live on the coast of California.
