I like being teased by my GF and within the community, but not in other settings.
Two really bad experiences for me:
1: At a party at my parent’s house. One guy, friend of my parents with no “indoor voice” saw me for the first time in several years. His reaction was to say “WOW, YOU’VE CHANGED!”
Of course tons of eyes were on me. I awkwardly made a reference to “yeah, I’ve been keeping my hair short” or something. But this asshole doubled down. “NO, I MEAN YOU’RE REALLY PACKING ON THE POUNDS!”
Ruined the day for me to be honest. I wanted to tell him to fuck himself.
2: Co-worker noticed one day and kept commenting on it. Then he kept trying to poke/grab my stomach while I tried to casually move away from him. My boss was standing RIGHT THERE too. Didn’t see exactly what the co-worker was doing, but suspected something when he gave both of us the “what the fuck are you guys doing look” as I gave my co-worker “I’m really close to fucking decking you right now” glare.
