[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you met men?  :lol:

Seriously, there is a very visible subset of men who seem off the charts pissed that "you can't approach women in public anymore" and "how am I supposed to meet women now?" And there is another visible subset who just keep doing it anyway.

Are these great men? No. Should you be honored to be a target? No. Are they hitting on women? Yes.

It helps a lot to have RBF. When you have resting-friendly-face, not so helpful in these cases.[/quote]

The homeless man sitting in a cafe I was in the other day told me I had nice hair, then stared at me for awhile. Was he hitting on me? I don't tend to think of it as being hit on. Often times it's not legit or serious so I don't need to tell them "Sorry, I'm married."[/quote]

Yeah some of the examples posters are giving are more being sexually harassed than hit on. [/quote]

What's the clear dividing line between "hit on" and "sexually harassed?"

Or ... do you just "know it when you see it?"[/quote]

I would view being hit on as being approached and talked up by a man (sound of mind- not in drugs or mentally ill) who then asks for my number to get drinks/dinner etc. This would not include getting catcalled (hey there sexy!; hey blonde lady, give me your #!), completely plastered guy slurring out “hey come home with me”, having friendly conversations in public areas that don’t end in an ask for a date, or random service workers obtaining my number and reaching out to me (as in one of the very creepy stories a pp posted). I’d consider most of these harassment except, obviously, the friendly convo but I’d just consider that flirtatious, not being hit on. [/quote]

Do you think that's a complete definition?[/quote]

I think it probably encompasses most of what women are experiencing in this thread (harassment, being asked out/hit on, and friendly slightly flirtatious banter). [/quote]

Np I agree with your definition of being hit on. Some women take every friendly interaction with a man as being hit on. Personally, I wouldn’t see it this way. [/quote]
