If your interactions with women are being considered harassment - your words, mind you - then, clearly, you are not polite or mature.
So a mere "hey how are you?" and later small compliment or just simply complimenting a woman's sweater is legitimate harassment and therefore immature and impolite? and thats just one of the examples
It's all in the context. How did you compliment her sweater? "Hey, cool sweater. I like those colors." isn't the same as "Hot damn, your *** really fill out that sweater!".9 -

There is some truth to this. I've been working in a bar for close to 10 years, seen some staff come and go, and always remember one girl who absolutely hated guys that would compliment her. One time she even told me that she wanted to report harassment against one of the customers because he complimented her looks but she found him unattractive and old.Pc EU- Lady_Hania5 -

Yeah it would be different if it were a guy she thought was hot. In most cases women know in the first 5-10 minutes of meeting you if they would possibly **** you or not.1 -

And mine weren't even that inventive. They just used the skill names available in the game. I didn't really do anything but use words already used. It's easy to make an awesome name. In fact, here's a handy guide.

Yeah, not so much. Particularly among millennials. You know, the participation trophy and free speech zone generation? Yeah, those guys. Granted it's only about a quarter of them that think something as inconsequential as asking a woman out is sexual harassment, but that's still a rather substantial number given the topic in question."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you..."2 -
Oakmontowls_ESO✭✭✭✭✭
✭I mean this topic has gone wildly off topic but as for women claiming harassment when complimented, It really depends on the woman, the attractiveness of the complimentor, and the way the complement was presented. Something that is romantic when an attractive person does it is creepy when an unattractive person does it. There are also more sensitive people that react badly to certain stimulus. It isn't necessarily the person's fault. It might be due to a bad experience with the stimulus.
Back on topic though: Lol penetration0 -

Maybe it's a sign you should stop making names with uncomfortable subtextual or colloquial meanings? Just saying, seems like you have a pattern of just wanting to get a rise out of people only to complain later when it works.

It cant be THAT many. Ive never heard of any other women telling me they felt like they were harassed by being asked out.
Obviously that girl that worked at a bar mustve worked at a very quiet bar.... at least the guy spoke. I remember when I worked at a nightclub for a very short time, if its crowded at least a couple guys a night think theyre being clever when they pass you and basically grope your waist or your hips when they pass.
Im not sure whats worse, that or the ones that leave a big sweat streak along your shoulder or back. Lol.0 -

To all the people making the penetration joke about the lover stone, know this, the constellation has always been represented by a woman, see http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Astronomy#The_Lover , I know it is an easy joke but unless you are into some, let's say, alternative lifestyles, the joke doesn't really make sense.

I'm an older millennial (born in 87). Here's the thing: guys who get accused of harassment after asking women out frequently aren't just asking women out. They're often persisting in asking women out even after said women have made it clear that they're not interested. The difference between a harassing creep and an ACTUAL nice guy (not to be confused with "nice guys") is that nice guys know when to stop. When do you stop, you ask? When a woman has made it clear that she's not interested in dating you, that's when! Yeah, there are some women who are a bit extreme, to say the least (more often than not, these women are survivors of sexual assault -- so, you know, I can kinda understand why they're a little more wary). I'd hesitate to call it a quarter of my entire cohort, though...
Anyway, back on topic. I NEVER noticed the Lover/penetration joke.

Actually, it's millenial males who are close to 25% on that one. (Asking a woman out for a drink or something.) Millenial females are more like 12-15%ish. The numbers go down as you go from age 30 up. God forbid you tell a millenial they look nice though, because that one is closer to 40% for both genders.
Interestingly, just flat out asking for a sexual favor reverses the age trend. Just about everyone in the upper age range says that is harassment, but millenials are down around roughly the 77-80% area."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you..."0 -

With an obviously implied meaning. It'd be funny if it were, well, actually funny. Cat puns are funny. It wasn't the word choiceage that got him name changed, it was what they meant contextually that he was fully aware of, otherwise why would that name be chosen? Would just be an odd name when taken literally.
See, I'm about to blow your mind, are you ready for it? Sometimes phrases will have a meaning different from the literal meaning based on context. You can usually tell the intended meaning was contextual when it makes more sense than the literal meaning."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy. I will show you there are many fates worse than death."
