    male touching etiquette?

    where do you draw the line between greeting and groping when it comes to touching & personal space?

    at the office handshakes and a pats on the back are constant thing...and thats fine. when people creep up and start massaging, poking and prodding (dudes)..

    i have already done exactly that (check my response to sue). not going the "blind rage" route like i did at my last job. i don't like the guilt that follows physically assaulting someone in front of their peers. that and the risk of losing a job/getting arrested/sued etc..

    My bad..mjoseph..missed it...being that you've experienced this before...I can understand why you rather go to H.R. I commend you..on your decision..because someone can surely get hurt..with that sort of disrespect...I tell youuu...(flinging my hair back)....its just soo hard being beautiful

    I think every man should have a medium sized towel so y'all can pop each other during your greetings. The one who makes the best stinging sound is the alpha-male of the conversation. *wick-up*

    Seriously, a handshake/upper back pat in the office'll do. If you know each other outside of work then maybe a non-lingering hug. Save the kissing on the cheek for family functions. If y'all get down 'like that'...then it's a 'deaux yeaux beaux' situation. The case is NOT to make anyone feel uncomfortable.
    Dance as if nobody's watching you...and if they are...so what?

    what's wrong with a little frottage at work???
    Hahaha.
    That's the way - walk in the office, a quick dap here, a pound there, and a crotch grab over there ... nothing wrong with a friendly greeting to start off the day!
