Q:
How do you respond to a guy on the street who, as you walk by, leans in and says, "Hey, sexy"?

A:
"You don't."
Jack Marshall, president, ProEthics

"Smile and walk away. Roll your eyes and walk away. Point sadly at your wedding ring and walk away."
Anita L. Allen, professor of law and philosophy, University of Pennsylvania Law School

"The guy who uses this approach is probably saying this to every woman he meets. Just look straight ahead without making eye contact and keep moving, preferably in another direction."
Rudy Rasmus, pastor, St. John's United Methodist Church, Houston
