I am a man, and have been chased by women in the workplace.

I have also been told I was insulting them by not flirting with them.

Happily married for 13 plus years, and old Red is a bit grey in the muzzle now so that isn’t as big of an issue anymore.

“But hey, I don’t think I would have kissed her without her consent.”

Guess I’m a real fossil. In my day, if you had a sense that it would be welcome, you slowly leaned in. If she gave you the pull-back, you stopped. Nobody ever brought their lawyer in for a signed consent form.

In the days of the real short skirts we had a good looking secretary who wore them all the time. Her desk did not have a modesty panel and it drove my boss nuts so he had maintenance order one and install it on her desk.

” See, if men don’t like the rules of the game, we can always decide not to play the game.”

Often the case when a man marries a woman from the Orient.

No, written permission. They have to sign a waiver, a quitclaim, and a permission slip.

Better off playing with a Ouija board when you are drunk.

“Wait....leaning in to attempt a kiss requires verbal permission now?”

Hell, leaning itself requires verbal permission.

“Women are attracted to men who are willing to take risks to win them.”

And they have Gloria Allred on speed dial.
