Giving in when asked
 
I am an occasional traveler for business. I spend about 50-75 nights away a year. At times, I have been approached by the opposite sex for more than just a drink. I guess I never thought too much about it until I realized that it happens more than what I thought is "normal". What do others do?

Can you get miles?

ARe you male or female? I'm a guy, and this *never* happens to me. And I spend more nights away from home than you do.

Geting miles for what? Am I misunderstanding your question?

I am a guy as well. It has happend probably twice a year on average since I have been traveling. I just thought that was "odd".

You should be earning points/miles for the hotel room . . . and the room service champagne . . . and the flowers you will inevitably have to buy for your wife when she finds out . . . and the divorce lawyer if (s)he takes credit cards . . . .

Welcome to Flyertalk, Lobster1010 http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

UpgradeMe's valiant attempt to make this thread about miles and points notwithstanding,

Since this topic really isn't about miles and points, and the MilesBuzz forum is for

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Discussion of the latest frequent flyer program buzz... </font>
I'm going to move this thread over to TravelBuzz which is for

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">If it's a travel topic worth talking about, it's likely in this forum. (non-frequent flyer program travel)</font>
Please follow this thread over there.

Face it - Lobster1010 is a chick magnet (oops - probably not a politically correct thing to say) - strike that - he's a babe magnet and you, while probably a real nice guy - aren't. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif

Do you want to "give in"? Are you looking for permission from FT?

Anyone who is i) Male and ii) Has never had this happen before should go on a business trip to Nairobi and try Floridas night club.

Having a drink in any hotel bar open to the public in some countries (including 5* hotels) will also quite often attract the attention of ladies of negotiable affection.

It sounds as if I am in a minority. I seek out this kind of inviting affection? Don't get me wrong, I am pleasantly suprised but none-the-less, still suprised.
