   Yup; true story: s guy was charged with assault, because he, as a form of    
   flirting, whistled at a girl & she called the cops.   
      
   The facts were laod out: it was the first & only time hje had one so (if   
   she'd  requested he stop, yet he continued, she might feel threatened then, by   
   his  unwilingness rto respect her clearly communicated boundaries) & I have no   
   beef  with that, should a court find it to be such.

   People(Loony lefties, as opposed to normal ones) sya it's unfair to   
   snap-judge  a concern for young people dressed a certain way, with tattoos &   
   piercings.   
      
   I don't act on it, but I certainly do have a bit more concern for them than   
   for the Mormons walking towards me in their shiny shirts & pants!   
      
   The guys who asre all about putting ntches on their bed post should be aware    
   that some women might just change their mind after the seduction has been    
   agreed to & begun, & have him charged with rape.   
      
   My advice is to get to know a lady first, so you can have a certain amount of    
   trust in her not to be a jackass game-player.   
      
   One comic's answer to women who complain about guys judging their   
   skimpy/wanton clothing was to ask if it'd be reasonable to expect help from   
   someone in a cop  uniform?  What if he was not a copy,. but jusdt wearing the   
   uniform of one?   
      
   "Okay, I'll stipulate you're not necessarily a slut, but you are certainly    
   wearing the uniform of one!"  (the audience, men & women alike, roared!)

   Same, but I remember enough. If U were to be vback in it'd be as a widow, &   
   I'm given tyo understand things are easier for such than for the younguns   
   coming  out of college, or still in.   
      
   Seriously, I signed up for a dating site a ways back & I entered my info &   
   was  directed straight to the Seniors' Page! (for 40+); I was 39!
