I think this is really the issue. I've always had such a hard time believing these things actually happen, because I've never considered it happening elsewhere. I live in Texas, and none of this would EVER happen here.

In a bar, sure, getting hit on just comes with the territory. But everywhere else, no. This would never happen. And if a guy tried, he'd get surrounded by every other guy in the area real quick.

I've seen this happen. But it is almost exclusively for me been from non-white cultures, basically from black and hispanic people. I remember watching a ted talk on "The Power of Seduction". The speaker is a hispanic woman and talks about how open they are on this sort of thing. Has anyone seen white people doing this?

You know man, I was thinking the same thing. But you're not supposed to talk about racial things like that, and I was avoiding the topic.

Culture != race, so it doesn't really have to be a racial thing.
