I find that when I'm out at social events that entail me to be dressed up and therefore show my figure, men will put there arm around my waist and pull me closer to talk to them. I don't think there are any intentions there, nor do I take offense to it, but I was just wondering if any of the men here could lend some insight to that.
If a man does that, does he tend to do that with all women? Or only women he's attracted to? Are some men conscious of that behavior...are they actually trying to get a feel for the woman's body? Or is this just a natural instinct or possibly a learned behavior where men don't even realize they're doing it?
Easy question - it's called Kino - which is essentially touching someone of the opposite sex deliberately to get them to become used to your touch, so that you can make progress towards a more sensual (physical and emotional) relationship. Yes some guys do it subconsciously (because they learned about it a long time ago, how it really works, and they make it a habit), others do it deliberately as part of a conscious seduction/pick-up artist methodology.

Makes sense to do with a date, not in a store to a total stranger. I'll also mention I look quite young, like a teen (especially 2-3 years ago), and most often these men are middle aged. I'm going to use that word now: CREEPY.

Someone else said it here already - it's a pimp move.

That and the shoulders are the only two places I feel "safe" touching a women I'm not going out with....
Depends on the guy. I would probably do that too anyone of my female friends, but some guys only touch when they are coming onto a girl.
Pimpage knows no geographical or cultural boundaries.............
I highly doubt they are pimps, and I don't see myself attracting that kind of attention anyway. I just think they are creepy old dudes trying to touch young women.

When I was younger and was into the social scene, it was a common move in the crowds. Pull someone closer into you so they can hear you. It never bothered me as long as they weren't forceful and took a hint when I wanted them to back off. I guess it depends on your level of comfort with being touched. I like physical affection and as long as I don't get the creep vibe, I'm down.
What kind of "vibe" are you putting out there that these total strangers feel they can put their hands around your waist to talk to you?
