Harassment in the pits

Personally being a shy guy I don't have much experiance with trying to pick up girls at events and competitions, but I find it rather disturbing what some guys do at FIRST competitions. Girls on my team have complained about not being able to walk through the pit area without being given random people's numbers, being hugged by people they don't even know and even followed around by random guys. Personally that would freak me out. I'm not againts people hooking up at FIRST, it's a great group of people, I just see this as a bit extreme. I'm wondering why guys do this and wondering if there is anything we can do to make girls more comfortable. Or maybe I'm totally missing the mark here and girls don't really mind.

What do other people think of this kind of behaviour?
