ORIGINAL: YouName Depends on how you take it. I was walkinng in the park a few days ago and beautiful specimen of human anatomy was walking beside me. Anyway we both headed over the road on the red light while everyone else except one homeless guy stayed behind. So this guy jumps up to her and tells her it's like Christmas, that she made his day, etc. He's just playfully flirting but in a humble way. She smiles and engages him in a conversation, thanks him for the kind words and waves him good bye. Really warmed my heart, stoping at the bridge all three of us were passing and looking out thinking about how well she handled him and how much better off they probably felt. I don't see that you should have different standards depending on how they look. quote:
ORIGINAL: YouName Now some of the people in the video are possibly fakes, some have obvious personal confidence issues and others are just bad men. But about 50%, and probably the majority of the stuff she "didn't show" was polite and playfull no matter how fucking crude and lame they are. Sorry, polite or otherwise, a lot of people just don't like their personal space to be invaded without an invite. quote:
ORIGINAL: YouName Chatting people up on the street (If there wasn't so much crime, rape and ill will out there) should not only be the normal thing, it should be a necessary element for the re-establishment of community. I don't agree. 'The community' as such, is a collection of people you know; not strangers. And chatting people up in the street is a definite no-no. Nooo fucking way. Unwarranted attention without an invite is tantamount to harassment and an arrestable offense. quote:
ORIGINAL: YouName Am I taking this too far? Yes!! quote:
ORIGINAL: YouName ...Not really. I rarely flirt openly to begin with but I'm definitely the type of person who might strike up a conversation with you almost anywhere. And I think it's natural. I don't. I think it's very unnatural and usually not wanted.
