    I agree, but there is a time and place for it, and if the person does not flirt back, stop for petes sake!

    Agree. but the way it was worded was taken to the extreme. Not every approach is going to lead to a gorilla stalking you in the carpark and overpowering you to submit.

    I don't know how bad it gets in the US but usually here in OZ guys understand that thanks but no means just that.

    There are creepy people and people that keep it toned down and it feels like a compliment..either way as a married woman it's almost always crossing a line that they are doing it in the first place..

    you never know how someone feels about themselves, I sometimes take it as they are picking on me (even if they aren't) just because I am insecure, even after losing weight.
    I am in no way "sexy" and even when people compliment me and tell me how "skinny" i am, I say thank you but my first initial reaction is taking it as they are only trying to make me feel better, or actually thinking the opposite.

    An example of some creeps I deal with every day since I lost my weight:
    I work in a bakery and work on cakes in the front window,
    I get guys that stare in through the window and kiss the window or lick the window then wink and waggle their eyebrows (they aren't even looking at the cake. (I always hope that they were doing it because of the cake.. I wasn't that lucky )
    I got a guy last week that told me I "was the most delicious looking thing in the bakery"
    and I get guys that compliment my chest tattoo as an excuse to stare at my chest and try looking down my shirt...
    I also get flirtatious disgusting questions asking me if I have any tats in private areas...friggin idiots..

    ^^those are the things that men should never do in my opinion...

    Brittany, do they know you're married? I think half the time a guy hits on someone, it's to give a sincere compliment. The other half...they're gauging interest to see if she's into him. I give plenty of compliments to women I know who are in a relationship/married whom I'm not interested in.

    The second part yea....some guys are just morons and don't know how to flirt or think women are into that thing.

    I can usually tell the difference between a guy complimenting me and isn't interested or the creeps I listed. :smile: the guys complimenting me don't bother me as much, I never said I thought every single guy that flirts with me wants me. lol I was only trying to give some examples of the gross ones.
    I live in a really small town, most of my customers are regulars and know I am married. I'm not sure if the creeps know, most likely not but I still have a wedding/engagement ring that is easily visible. I couldn't expect EVERYONE to know I am though.

    I figured I would only mention the disgusting behavior so if there is a guy reading this that does the same, he might realize that most women don't really like that kind of behavior. :tongue:

    also, that not every woman may be confident enough to take it as a compliment, it might only make them feel more insecure.

    I completely understand what you are saying though!! :smile:

    So you're saying that women don't like to be motorboated by random guys in public settings?

    As long as they don't get creepier than me, I have no issues with it.

    Never really experienced it but im sure id like it, if i wasnt so oblivious and noticed it.

    Is it wrong everyone who keeps mentioning cat calling makes me think of peter from family guy interrupting all the "Hey baby" with "YOU SUCK!"

    Fun and flirty... wtf, chat people up, smile, share some sunshine... last time I checked, this was the real world not roboville. just remember flirting is not stalking. keep it flirty and everyone should be happy... unless you flirt with someone super uptight, and that's pretty obvious anyway... right?

    It has never happened to me in all of my 40 years and probably never will. Eventually, you feel really ashamed of yourself for not having what it takes to provoke a positive like that.

    I don't mind it unless it:

    A.) is by a much older and/or unattractive creeper -- especially if said creeper is a co-worker.

    or B.) if it's not genuine -- just someone trying to snag anything.

    It all comes down to delivery and tact, though. Some of the most touching compliments were from old men that weren't making the compliment for any benefit to themselves, just a genuine observation that they'd thought to share with me.
