[quote=Anonymous]Did you mistakenly reply to the wrong post.  Yours doesn't make any sense.

[quote]You seem to have some kind of particular resentment against attractive women. What's that all about?[/quote]
My post never mentioned attractive women at all.  I certainly do not resent them, and I consider my wife quite attractive.  Are you confused?

[quote]Also the WHOLE POINT is that MEN generally DO NOT get harassed or bugged the same way women do. This is an area where 95% of the perpetrators are men. But you REFUSE to see that women in fact are communicating directly (and you just don't see it because you have no social skills/feel entitled); or women have very good reasons not to communicate directly (they're worried about a hostile reaction, or their jobs); or you're just being rude and feel like you're entitled to do it. [/quote]
Again, this has nothing to do with my post.  I think many women - including apparently you - do not communicate clearly.  You shift the blame for your poor communication over to men, by saying the men "have no social skills" to properly intuit your unspoken desires.  When you refuse to communicate, you are part of the problem.

[quote]Basically my friend, you have a new set of manners to learn. I'm sorry it bugs you so much.[/quote]
We have to disagree here.  If you'd like to give a coherent explanation for how striking up a conversation at a coffeeshop or complimenting a co-worker's haircut is bad manners, I'm happy to read it.  But until then, you have not convinced me to change my behavior.[/quote]
