Yeah well not only am I not a cheater...and all...the fact is, a guy who is bold enough to come up do that isn't someone I could trust enough to go home with. If I were single, I still would not have been anywhere alone with such a person. I may not embrace all social norms, but when somebody steps outside of them in that kind of a way, it makes me wary and uncomfortable.
And I've also never really been OK with allowing men to target and pursue me like that. Back before I was with my husband I was still the dominant one, the one who targets the guy and takes him home, and not the other way around.
But I think most females do appreciate knowing that they are attractive. Heck, men do, too...
PrincessDorkNoodles, this is the second time in the last hour that I've read something you wrote and thought "that is genius."
Ditto all the way. Just wanted you to know.
Also, back when my mentor and hero, my Great-Aunt Jeanette (RIP) was a young lady, "dating" was something that involved many partners having reasonably innocent evenings out. Sure the guys wanted to take it however far they could, but a nice girl could date a nice guy and he didn't act like she was his property. Nowadays, I've heard about middle school age kids getting in fights because some boy spoke to another boy's "girlfriend" in a hallway. Seems to me that this intensification of possessiveness has gone hand in hand with earlier sexual behavior with today's kids...
(My point being that classy behavior is hard to find, in many aspects of interaction between males and females of all ages, anymore...)
First, he's lucky you didn't slam him to the ground or throw some sort of assault charge his way. That said...
I'm a guy, and I find this post kind of hot. Not because I'm a guy, but because what he said was so carnal and forward that I can see why the OP would be a "little turned on" by it. Yes, it's creepy as all get-out, but still. There is just something about one person expressing pure, immediate lust for another that I find sexy.
Of course, I'm asking for a lot of rotten tomatoes to be thrown my way...
This thread has me thinking about the weird contrasts in modern life (or post-modern life, or post-post modern life or whatever), relating to the norms of social behavior between men and women. In the past, there were certain socially-approved modes for expressing your admiration of members of the opposite sex. You could admire someone and let them know you felt the admiration, without risking their discomfort or a humiliating misunderstanding. You could take a woman's hand and kiss it, for instance, or open the door for her, or give her your seat, or whatever. The eye-twinkle said it all. There was an art of flirting, a game you could play without risk because people knew it was just that - a game. Originally, Valentine's Day was a way for secret admirers to express interest without risking rejection. All kinds of little outlets for these things before.
Nowadays, it's so weird. Everyone is so Puritan about sex. Poker-faced men spend the day treating their women co-workers like guys, and then go rushing to Target (apparently) to fill the shell-pink ears of unsuspecting female strangers with X-rated fantasies. It's like guys aren't allowed to be anything but life size cardboard stand-ups, or pervs. There's no middle ground.
^^^You need to start a new thread for this.
OP, I would have hit him with a right hook when he touched me on the shoulder.
No not a married woman. Not even a woman. But still. Even if one was single...that kind of advance in public from a stranger would not be acceptable.

Yech, that's gross. I don't know who would want to be sexually harrassed and/or propositioned by a stranger in a public place.
