I have heard of this before......oddly enough, never on chiefdelphi....

ANYWAY.....on the subject. I have seen guys trying to pick up girls at competitions, and vice versa. I personally, along with many of the girls on my team will never go looking for boys, unless we're really bored (doesn't happen often) If we happen to notice a cute one, that's nice, and we'll be happy if we see him again, somtimes talk to him, but there is in no way stalking. While i've never personally had to deal with guys blatent picking me up, i believe that most guys if not all would respect the "you're making me unfortable", "please go away" or "i'm really busy right now" If they're really freaking you out, there's plenty of great guys on your team or other teams that you know that are more than willing to help you with anything, whether it be with power tools or protecting you from the creepy guys next pit over. Guys asking for phone numbers, or handing them out...wow, impressive. I've seen it but never experienced it. I believe that guys aren't creepy, and if they are acting so, just tell them they'll knock if off. And if they aren't stopping, mentors are always there to help.
