I used to love DC's Metro, but it's ridiculously expensive. You have to pay to get on and out (zones). There are no transfers either. It's clean, runs smooth, slightly higher tech than the CTA, but the CTA is far, far more affordable and it runs late into the evenings.
When someone harasses me, I want to tell them off. The least I do is give them the finger. Seriously, why would anyone of my caliber consider going out with thugs like them? Guys who try the hardest are usually the ones that end up alone, no? But yes, I know some of them do it just to be macho.
Actually, my husband thinks it's funny when gay guys hit on him, and considers that a compliment. :-)
