"A lot of women are saying they're not feeling like they're safe when they're traveling to a strange city,'' Groom said. "They don't necessarily want to go down to a lounge and feel like they are getting hit on by guys.'' Grownups learn how to handle that by age 19 or so. ;)

The creepiest thing that ever happened to me in a hotel was some jerk calling at 3 am and saying “Guess who?” in this I-know-you voice. That problem would be solved if the desk wouldn’t put through a caller who just asks for a room number.
As for dealing with that, or whatever, by the age of 19, there are days when you just don’t want to, and you shouldn’t have to.

Personally I don't like having to be in the position of having to fend off the would be romeos. I generally have my nose buried in a book and would like to sip and read in peace.
A grownup male should be able to take the hint. Sadly they seem to be in short supply.

I hate it when I feel like I’m getting hit on. Of course, I’m not necessarily BEING hit on . . . I just feel like I am. And feelings are what counts. (/dee dee dee)
Sheesh. Is it any wonder I’m usually ashamed of my gender?
