I've never understood that kind of behavior myself. What guys I've run into over the years had no style about them (unless you call lewd and crude a style.)
And they're always either too old, too scruffy looking and/or don't know how to do laundry or take a bath. But they think they're so sexy . . .
And this is where the is needed.

That's probably why they resort to their pathetic attempts at flirting, because nobody will willingly come near them.

Also, does anyone here know if the "he/she's my boy/girlfriend, I don't think they'll be happy to know you hit on me!works.
If you carry weapons at work... then yes! Your coworker is your gun/billy club. Name it Charlene.
"So uh, are you gonna strip search me or what?"
He does realize strip searches are only suppose to be done by someone of the same sex right?
So give him what he wants... Have one of the men strip search him
I'm sorry. It took a while to get past "Big Bewbs." I did't realize you had posted more
As for the question about whether saying a coworker is your bf/gf/so/spouse/slave/whatever, it works in the bar scene. As others pointed out, it works really well if the other is a big, or at least psychotic looking, guy. Works even better if you go up and kiss him. I like those situations ;p

Some People Are Alive Only Because It Is Illegal To Kill Them
Ugh. I hate that kind of crap. I have literally walked away from patrons with otherwise legit questions the second they start hitting on me. As if the large sparkly thing on my left ring finger wasn't enough of a hint. It's a marquis, too, so t'would hurt if I had to punch them.* I've lost count of the times I've accidentally hurt Mr Jedi with that thing.
*As always, CS does not condone violence.
I am no longer of capable of the emotion you humans call “compassion”. Though I can feign it in exchange for an hourly wage. (Gravekeeper)
Also, does anyone here know if the "he/she's my boy/girlfriend, I don't think they'll be happy to know you hit on me!" line actually works while using a coworker? I'm tempted to do it, but dunno how well it works. I was planning on using the bigger guys to do so-most of them would be willing
It works somewhat, but only if the dude in question is intimidating-looking in some way AND actually there. Even then, some guys won't care. "Oh, he doesn't have to know" is a line I've heard from these guys when some of my female coworkers have tried just that. (Not using me as their surrogate boyfriend, mind you....I am hardly intimidating-looking.)
I may just stick to "I have a boyfriend" while not necessarily claiming a coworker.
THAT does not work worth a damn. The guys who are trying this sort of shit aren't the brightest fireworks in the sky, to be perfectly honest, and have all the couth of heroin-addict on a three day bender. So the mere claim of a not-present boyfriend in your life? Won't work.
And don't even try claiming a GIRLfriend. They LOVE that sort of shit!

For the question on the claiming a willing co-worker bf:
If they are big and aren't always smiling then yes they are a good deterrent. The more muscular the better. Also look at body language, do they walk around w/ their sholders back and head high? These guys seem the most unnerving.
(Yes I speak from experience.)
Hey, don't knock the little guy. I've quieted quite a few with my glare alone.
But yeah...big guys are usually the best bet [sigh]
For best effect, they should be intimidating-looking. That does not always mean big. For instance, my friend Scott back in Phoenix? Not big. Thin, only slightly taller than me. Also looks like a freakin' serial killer, and can give a glare that can stop a bulldozer a block away. Seriously. On the other hand, I have known several large guys that looked like teddy bears, that intimidated nobody. Size is not the only factor that makes a guy look intimidating.
(I can BE intimidating, but don't LOOK intimidating, mind you.)

I've had creepy guys hit on me at work before. Usually a summer job. I hate it so much because I finally find something cool to wear and professional, and some jerks starts commenting on my bust or my gams. Then I have to start coming to work all buttoned up, and overheating so they can't stare at my assets.
Do you know how hard it is to be pleasant to a customer when you are dressed in pants and a longsleeve shirt in the middle of a heat wave with no AC?!
And a little OT, but my friend Keo had some dude in a truck hit on her. It was her birthday, so she was wearing a tiara as she walked home.
Idiot in the Truck= Hey Princess, why not get off your high horse and ride a real prince?
Keo= Because I'm a princess, not a whore!
IitT= Can't you be both?
Keo then ran very fast into her house.
