A friend told me this story last night and it was just so crazy that I had to share it.

Girl is out at the club, runs into a guy. He's feeling her, but she's not feeling him so much. He asks for her number, she says no. His response? Pull out a gun and ask her again.

Because that's totally how you win a woman over -- through threats of violence. My friend said she learned from that incident to be friendly to all potential suitors, even in your rejections, because you never know how they might act.

I agree, to an extent. You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar, and a lot of times, a guy can accept a smile and a "no" better than a head toss and a walk away. As my friend said last night, you can say no in a nice way that still leaves their pride in tact. But harassment is unacceptable, whether it's on the streets or in the club.*
