Female: At least once a day...I have a slew of single male co-workers so they make up for the majority of that on the weekdays.

Total strangers? Never. Been hit on by a couple of coworkers and classmates I was barely acquainted with, but that's about it. There was one woman in a restaurant who was unmistakeably giving me the eye and a smirk but never said anything. But I don't know if you'd consider that being hit on?

Hmmm, I guess if it's unmistakable then yes. And if flirting, someone who is serious, not just flirting in a joking way.

Never.


ETA: I take that back. It happened "A few times in my life."


Also ETA: Looking at the number of women who get hit on daily, weekly & monthly, I'm wondering if I should be crying myself to sleep at night!?! LOL

Several times within my adulthood

But if I had to think back and count, I would say that I can think of a few times per year when I'm out in public and a woman makes it known that she's interested; 2-3 times a year tops.

Leering, and staring is something else though. That happens almost everyday if not every otherday. But who knows what that means.

As far as a woman being sexually aggressive and forward...only in clubs and bars. I think I can only recall a few times in my life where a woman made that gesture when I'm out minding my business.

Nah, I think some people are including mere looks in their definition of being hit on. If that were the case, every woman is being hit on multiple times daily.

The person actually has to talk to you to hit on you, and even then it has to be pretty forward - not just friendly chat a smile.


I'm flirted with a lot, but actually being hit on (as defined above), happens rarely.

Just a few times? I don't believe that either.

Thanks, but I'm serious.

I can really only think of one time where a guy came up to me and literally asked me out and another time when a guy doing construction at my place of work asked me to join him for lunch.
