Poonani Maker Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Isn't it everywhere? A good looking person compliments a woman and it's like "OMG! I'm weak in the knees!" When an ugly person compliments her it's like "Whatever Perv. Get away from me! You are harassing me!" A guy once complimented a woman on her nice blouse. She was about to slap a sexual harassment on me. Same day, I slap her in the ass and she laughs it off. Go figure huh?

That's actually a big relief, because I'm not so good with words, I might be better served to just use the rump thump technique you just outlined.
Art_Critic Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) We all want to have or date the "10".. even people who might be considered not so attractive by society want to marry up so to speak.. I married up.. we all want too.. it is human nature.. As far as the sexual harassment deal.. Well.. it has to do with how they feel.. if they feel threatened then it can be considered harassment.. The same goes for the gay population.. We have had a few gay employees here that could get away with some of the most vile sexual talk speaking to the opposite sex but it was never an issue because the woman never felt threatened by a man that was gay..

annieo Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Interesting thread. And it's true, OP, flirting/advances from someone I find attractive are laughed off or ego boosts, and come ons from someone I don't fancy are disturbing and cringe-worthy. I've had both experiences at my place of employ. Could be because I think that overtures from those I like, I might partially attribute to my own subtle cues, leaving the door open a little. Plus if I like them, I don't mind a little familiarity. Whereas comments/actions from someone I have no interest in (or worse yet, gives me the creeps), I think to myself, "Why the hell would he feel comfortable enough to do that?". For example, a co-worker that I am not familiar with, don't like at all in fact, recently tried to give me a shoulder hug at the end of a long meeting, with other people in around. WTF! I made a weak joke and moved quickly out of reach. But if I wanted to make a stink I would be well within my rights. Not going to, but if he ever lays a hand on me again, he's going to get blasted, loudly. Some men are woefully inept at reading female receptivity. If a woman doesn't seem all that interested in you, don't try to force the issue. If she does (flirty eye contact, touches your forearm when talking to you, blushing, needless visits to your work space), then try a gentle little flirt back. It's not rocket science, just open your eyes, guys!
