People do this because (unfortunately for some) it works. I am going to advance something here, but before I do this and offend many, let me first state clearly that this type of behavior is absolutely impolite. Now the problem is not the investor, it is society in general. No man is going around dropping their pants hoping to be liked simply because it has never worked. That is to say if a man or woman touches another in a certain way, it is very likely that it is something that has worked in the past, and that continues to work for many. I am just stating a fact here, and again apologies for offending anyone: you can go out nowadays meet people and sleep with them within hours of your very first interaction. I am not talking about a bar, I am talking about anywhere. It goes further, many people who are in committed relationships (and I am not judging anyone) are openly flirtatious with co-workers. The list goes on and on. So people see this, and follow accordingly. When people see these things and do not stop to think is this right or wrong, they just follow suit. In short men and women act this way because many other men and women allow it, and it works, and unfortunately those who do not like it end up being the offended. Specifically to women: the mistake many make (at work) is to think they can act a certain with one person, and not expect other men to follow with their attempts. My little advice is to behave in a way that tells everybody that this kind of behavior is not acceptable from the get go. Have your SAME limits set for everyone. It is very sad that you have to do this, and unacceptable, but until both men and women understand what lines should not be crossed, you have to look out for yourself.
