Do you have your "personal space"
- Thread starter Dana
- Start date
The thread title is "Do you have your personal space?" It shouldn't matter how the woman asked him to move away from her... he was 24 inches away! That's pretty close!
I hate being touched, I'm a manly man see.
exactly
and if she told him he was too close and he didn't respect her boundaries, then she had every right to be rude in telling him to go away.
I agree with this.
Dana, take it easy. People are different. One needs to stand as close as possible, and the other one feels bothered if there isn't a distance of at least 4 feet.
I for one, don't like it, too, if people come too close to me. Though, as always, it also depends on the person. Family is allowed to come closer than a friend than an acquaintance than a complete stranger.

yeah, definitely, I get really claustrophobic around too many people or when people invade my personal space
Two feet away is often too close for me also... 3-4 is better, I don't need to been in their face smelling what they just ate/drank/smoked.
And for club settings, I never went to chat, just stand in a circle around purses and dance

Wow. Simply because a woman doesn't like you in her personal space you call her a bitch and say she's childish? :wtf_anim: You are seriously a self-absorbed ass. So does that mean that if a girl was all up in your area and you didn't like it, and told her so, that makes you an asshole?
I agree with everyone who's disagreeing with dana
:24:
In all seriousness, I'm not disagreeing simply to disagree. I think it's ridiculous for him to think that his opinions and feelings should be paramount in every situation that he's in. :shrug:
I'm not diagreeing for the sake of disagreeing, I just know with dana's track record he's more than likely wrong
I didn't understand he was so close. If she asked him to back off, that should have been enough.
But like in most things, there is a right and a wrong way to ask someone to back off.
We need more info or we had to have been there. :cool

Arms length....If you get within that space, and it's not mutually approved of, we'll have issues. Must....have....air
I have some very specific personal space boundaries. My partner, my immediate family and my two closest friends can be skin-on-skin and that's fine, I have no problem with having to sit that close or stand that near to them.
When it comes to strangers though, I dislike them being too close, intensely so. It makes me immediately irritable and snappy. Like when you're in a supermarket looking at something on a shelf, and someone comes right up beside you and leans across you to get something. Fuck off! I'll move in two seconds! It's instantly a bad, bad thing.
In a club - if I'm absolutely honest, it depends whether the person doing the invading is attractive to me. I can't lie and say if some incredibly hot bloke rubbed shoulders with me at the bar, that I'd be pushing him off. If I found him unattractive though, I'd be trying to put space between us.
The lesson there being, unless you're 100% sure that you're attractive to someone, don't get all up in their face. It makes people tetchy and rude, and you'll get snapped at, exactly like Dana. If you don't want to shout to have a conversation, don't try and hold them in clubs.

Absolutely, I hate people crowding me, and I wouldnt have been as polite as the girl in the OP,
Its one thing I dislike about doing iridology too, you are literally 2 inches away from the patients face.:willy_nilly:

Touch me and die.
This sums it up about perfectly for me lol!
Ooh, I can't stand people at check out counters that have to be at the register while you're still swiping your card. Urgh!
I actually got charged 15 bucks for someone else's stuff at Wal-Mart the other day because there was such a rush to get people through the line.

so WRONG!!! people in a rush always think they have to be 1st. I remember the looks of people waiting in line at the bank...I (personally)hate line waiting and the comments some would say. people do not respect space.

Funnily enough, it doesn't make me angry if I'm the one getting close to someone, even if I don't know them. That's easy to handle, probably because I'm controlling the situation - someone else forcing themselves into my space though is another thing entirely!
