If I have never met them, I don't know what kind of person they're, or if they're potentially dangerous.
So I prefer they don't come up to me, unless if there is a context. Context is very important when meeting people.
Well, when you start a job in a new place, you don't assume every guy in there is going to rape you. But you can bet some will talk to you... mostly about work... but, soon enough, about other things - team-building, they call it.
Why is it so different when a guy, not employed in the same place as you, comments on what he perceives to be your job?
If someone comes up to me and there is no context, I might feel threatened because I sense an immediate (and probably very shallow) interest in me. It's bothersome because I don't know to what lengths this person (99% of the time, a man) will go to "fulfill his interests".

Actually, the first time they were reef sharks. The second and third times were both mako sharks. Fun times.

Of course you don't know... just remain in public and keep it civilized.

I was going to do some work, or watch a movie... But that was 3 hours ago, before I fell asleep

Sleep has a tendency to sneak up on the best of us.

Sorry, poca, but no. Keeping it public doesn't work. I went on a SART call last week because a chick was raped in a convenience store parking lot.

And that's not to mention the amount of sexual assaults (including those attempted) that go unreported...
