Its not just about threats, though, and you're sort of highlighting the problem yourself? That people constantly put their arm round you or touch you uninvited. And I assume we're not talking about friends / family here as that's not what any of this is about... No one is saying friends can't put their arm round someone.

But anyway; you're saying that it happens a lot, and it doesn't bother you. Which is fine, everyone is different. But some people are not comfortable at all being touched by strangers or having an arm put round them? I mean... I personally don't like it at all, and I'm a 6'2 200lb+ man. It's not about feeling "threatened" - I just plain don't like it - and people should have enough respect for others to not feel entitled to start touching strangers in a familiar way without permission.

There are certain guys out there who believe that they are entitled to, that is is "normal" to, put their arm around whoever they want / touch a leg / whatever... But it really isn't?
