[Poll] Streetdate

Inspired by the sight of one of my colleagues on his lunchbreak¹, a poll ...

[Poll #1436208]

Clarifications
Male/female refers to gender of identification/appearance.
The "Have you ... got ..." and "Did they ... get ..." questions should be taken to referring to "in the same period of interaction", rather than anything that happened thereafter or on successive meetings.
The final "yes/no" question should be read as 'In general, do you ...'.


¹ Admittedly, he has the advantage of being 6ft4, handsome and apparently having shares in Charisma Inc.

I found those results quite interesting - especially #3, it's interesting how many more women are hit on in non social situations, (despite the answer to #1 showing that equal numbers of males and females have initiated a conversation)

I've also had 2 marriage proposals in non-social situations. One was a foreign guy in a cafe, he sat next to me and next thing I know he was wanting to marry me - though I suspect he was after a citizenship. It was surreal, but the following me after I ran out bit was scary. The second was a client who asked me to marry him in Court (not what I'd call social!).

I've been followed to the door of my house a couple of times - was very glad I had a tall male housemate at home on those occasions!

(I clearly look fertile and suitable marriage material to Turkish men - it's almost always Turkish men.)

Yes, that is good :) I was saved by the bus back to mine starting to pull out and being able to leap on the back!

I can't remember where this guy was from, I think it was somewhere in Eastern Europe before it joined the EU, but I've heard a lot about Turkish men, it does seem to be a bit of a problem. My b/f's sister has a place in Turkey and as soon as men realise she's British they're all over her.

It's because they know British women are hot. Or something. Maybe. [grin]
