Awareness, your choice of username is extremely ironic. I have a male friend met through the work place. We were accused of 'having a thing' because we are just on the same wave length, and find the innuendo in everything. However, he has a very long term partner, kids, and is so not my type. We get on though like a house on fire, and our 'banter' is a mutual funship. However, I would not have assumed that same level with any other of the males I worked with, and I would not have expected them to assume they could with me either. I most certainly would not allow ANY touching, just as I would not walk up to a male and randomly assume I could touch him. My son had a job in a late night bar whilst at college. He's well built, and a good looking lad, so got rather a lot of female attention. At the time he was 21. Now you may assume that he'd find that flattering, but like he said, WTF is flattering about getting randomly groped by women that think you're just there to be felt up, especially when your arms are full of glasses so that there is fuck all you can do to stop it? You can't exactly shout 'Get the fuck off me Bitch!', so you're left with trying to politely smile, and move your crotch out of the way. This is what it's been like for women for decades, and it's wrong on both sides of the coin. Needles
