It is quite easy to smile in reply and say 'No, thanks!' Of course, I tend to be very comfortable with myself and with my boundaries, and thus - except when I am having one of my grouchy, evil anti-social days - I really do not mind being propositioned by people (or by space aliens ), regardless of their gender. Maybe it's not obvious I am a woman? Thought the icon would give it away.

Anyway, I suppose if it is ok to have that happen to you, you can smile about it and say 'no, thanks'. Even if it is a person who would go away when told 'no', it's not ok for me, to be asked.

It's not the same as being offered a piece of gum. I don't see this as a thread about homosexuality. Edited by Kackyīy the way, when I am in such parks doing cache maintenance on those occasions when I am in the kind of grim evil antisocial mood where I do not even want people looking at me, before I exit my car, I simply don my hardhat, safety vest, tool belt, and gloves, and carry my clipboard and GPSr prominently. Everyone disappears the park empties out in less than two minutes.
