60/MK1: @55 She probably wasn't groped because you were with her. I've been to Rome several times and the street harassment is absurd.

You may be right. I believe I was with both girlfriends most, if not all, of the time we were there.

114/tkc: @55 it's definitely prevalent in certain neighborhoods - especially the 60 and 45 bus routes - in Rome. We've been to Italy a number of times, mostly up north (we have friends in Volterra), and never had that sort of thing happen. Like never. This was our first time in Rome. So it was a huge shock.

I didn't mean to imply it doesn't happen (or isn't prevalent.) It just never happened to either of the women I was with, but that may be for the reason MK1 mentioned. Anyway, sorry that happened to your wife and, aside from that, I hope you liked Rome. On my second trip, we went to Siena after Rome and then drove from there to Volterra. I loved Volterra, and that drive along the ridge to Volterra was gorgeous.

Anyway. I just got back from Rome with my family.

Holy shit. In certain sections of that city if my wife got more than fifty feet from me she was constantly having her ass grabbed or getting that "Bella bella bella..." bullshit. America is like elevated in comparison.

That's interesting tkc. I love Rome and hope you had a great time there (except for what you mentioned...sorry to hear about that.) My experience was different. I've been to Rome twice, with two different girlfriends, one of whom was very attractive. The very attractive one certainly got a lot of attention from Roman men -- and men in other Italian cities we visited -- but neither of them were ever groped or grabbed by a guy.

My parents were religious conservatives and I disagreed with them on a lot of things, but one thing I really appreciate about them is that they taught good manners to my siblings and me. Never in my life, even when I was a teenager, have I said something like "nice tits" to a female who I passed on the street.

and wishing that I had the perfect response for that anonymous fuck.

Not sure it's perfect, but "small cock" comes to mind.

KDru, if a hot woman started making out with me (a straight guy) at a party, or a bar, and then, after a short time, skipped off with another woman, I'd definitely be taken aback, and probably a little pissed off, but I don't think I'd see it as "assholery to the third power", especially if the kissing was great.

But that's how I'd see it. I'm not saying that you, or other people, should see it the same way. I can understand how someone could see it as A^3..

Drunk Lesbian Girl: I absolutely grant you that there are bigger problems out there than DSGs...

Yeah, like these.

1/Pope Buck: I'm trying to picture a world where hot straight boys felt comfortable going to gay bars and making out with me. And aside from the "tease" factor mentioned above, I'm having a hard time coming up with a downside.

Likewise, I'm trying to picture a world where hot drunk lesbians wanted to make out with a straight guy like me in order to turn other lesbians on. Yeah, it would just be a tease, and that part would suck, but if they were great at kissing, I'd still enjoy that.

2/Mac...good one! (And now Richland, Kennewick and Pasco -- with the exception of that Richland florist -- want polygamy legalized.)

Way to go, my home state. This is the Minnesota I remember as a kid...the Minnesota of Humphrey, not the Minnesota of Bachmann.
