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?

A lot of us feel just like the way you do. But did you ever think about the girls who goes after guys too? Its not just "guys" or "girls", it's a lot of FIRST members. If one doesnt like it, it can be easily ignored by not responding. If it gets out of hand there is always someone called "Mentor" of your team.

... I have a feeling that this thread is going to turn into an arguement thread. So moderators, if you would, please keep an eye on this thread. thanks.
