I want to make the following post to the above thread before it was locked. Because I think some posters are not clear.
I made the following -
| Quote: |
I was pondering over what this meant, and whilst I first reacted like flyer and Tokyoliz, and sexual harassment is no fun for either sexes, I was thinking more along the lines that maybe the OP can call up some male friends over, and make sure the boss can see that she is seen with other guys, preferably burly ones. Or if the OP has some female friends, young or old, in the small town, whom she can talk openly with and ask them for their help.
Just a suggestion. Maybe the boss is trying to take advantage because you are are "lone easy target" but if you surround yourself with others, then the boss would have second thoughts. |
And then many posters (seklarwia, Tokyoliz) keep insisting that I am suggesting that the OP should bring about fake boyfriends. 
If I asked for BOYFRIENDS, I would have worded it so. Why are you so fixated with BOYFRIEND. As I posted the words MALE FRIENDS many times. e.g. friends who happen to be male. Is it wrong to have male friends ? It would be easier if there was a brother in town, right ? I also mention having female friends. i,e, so basically friends of both sexes, so that the OP is seen to be socially active, not SEXUALLY active. Gosh, where do some of you go to having the idea regarding "fake" ?
It's like walking down the street and you see a young lady with her arms linked to a man, yes, some of you think it was a boyfriend. Except it turned out he was her father or brother.
Please please folks help the OP.
For I know it works. Many a times my friends and I (both male and female) have been called on to pop over to a "maiden in distress" situation, have a party or a BBQ, and BE SEEN together as a group, shouts of "See you soon/ call me anytime, etc". That what FRIENDS are for, regardless of male or female, you don't need to imagine them or make them fake. That's of your own imagination, and the OP does not need to do this. Male friends need female friends, and vice-versa. Because that is what society is about, if you have the confidence to look at the balance.
But if the OP does not have friends nearby, then the people in the community is the next best step.
Thank you.
MOD EDIT: For the record, it is not a good idea to start threads bearing on the same topic of a thread that has been recently locked. |
