Does anyone else hate being patted on the back by men?
I was at a meetup group and I was having a nice night, until a man that I really don't like, came up to me and said "Ann how are you" and started patting me on the back. He is the worst man at that group. I really don't like him. So when he touches me it makes me feel awful.
Similarly another time I was at a walking group and I had to tell a man to stop patting me. He would come up behind me to look at the view, and pat me on tha back every time. I had to tell him i didn't like it. I saw him later on standing by a woman, and he was rubbing and patting her back. She also looked like she didn't like it.
I see some men when they go up to a woman and say hello to them, they pat the woman on the back. I think they see it as an acceptable way to touch women.
If I meet a man in a group, I don't pat the man on his back when I say hi.
It's being touchy. What do you think.
