Also complaining about getting hit on? Really? A person finds you attractive and wants to talk to you. What a monster.

Amusingly enough, I was just reading an article by a woman, complaining that not enough men hit on her in SF.

I'm confused. Are you are unable, or unwilling to discriminate between a woman wanting to be hit on in a social situation; and not willing to be harassed or discriminated against in a professional context?

[sliverstorm]

I don't live anywhere close to SF; it's nothing to do with me personally. It's just funny to read the two threads of thought, both written by women:

SF is full of sexist men making unwelcome advances on women

SF dating scene is dead, men won't make a move

Do you not see the slightest humor in that?

Actually, having written it out like that, I wonder if one thread begot the other.

[melindajb]

again, you're incapable of recognizing these are two entirely different situations? Ok, here's what you sound like.

People complained my shit stinks when I shit in the bathroom. People complained when I took a shit on my grandmother's dining room rug. I get so confused about where to take a shit!

> again, you're incapable of recognizing these are two entirely different situations?

Are they, really? I dated multiple women from work before I met my wife. It's not earth shattering -- we spend 8 hours a day with these people, and there's bound to be some level of attraction between some of them.

Not everyone thinks exactly the way you do. Things go more smoothly when you aim to be understanding of those differences.

Wow. What an inappropriate analogy. Way to go.

[primitivesuave]

Any other analogy you could have made is better than the analogy you made.

[sliverstorm]

Your anger is really not a very effective discussion tactic. You might think me the idiot, but you're doing an excellent job making a fool of yourself.

Anyway, I'll find humor wherever I please, and you'll just have to live with that.

On the one hand, most men aren't exactly "smooth operators" when it comes to this, on the other hand rejecting someone is usually not pleasant to the one doing the rejecting.
