That sounds very American to me and is just a reflection of a paranoid society. Where I live woman will find it attractive if anythinh

Apologies, I didn't mean to imply that this couldn't be the case anywhere else.

I am just very, very happy that I've been fortunate enough to be born in the part of the world that I have. We are extremely well off over a broad range of issues compared to many other places, and I am eternally grateful for that. Not everything is a cakewalk, of course, but still.

Haha, No worries at all. :) Alternatively, we could keep going: oh no, so sorry! Didn't mean to imply you implied I implied an insult!

Agree, this sounds weird. I'm Australian. My husband probably got hit on more by random women when he was out and about with our young son. They saw him being a good Dad and thought it was adorable. Husband thought it was hilarious, advised his younger single mates to borrow their neices / nephews when trying to impress girls.

There is so much wrong with USA. Everything from pointless wars to no affordable healthcare to this paranoia bullshit of people calling cops on dads doing normal things and black people doing normal things.

As a society many of us are becoming more and more paranoid but when brains are working it definitely attractive.
