How girls can avoid being hit on?

Wear pantyhose.

This certainly would keep the hair in place. Hey, a twofer.

Aside from looking ugly (waterlogged, makeup-less, snot, pee, etc) there is nothing you can do but to say,"No thank you. I'm not interested. Just here to dive. Thanks."

If they persist drop lead on their foot, accidentally of course. :blinking:

I'm envious of all of Dr. Bills dive buddies.

If you're diving at Casino Point with dr. bill AND he has a camera with him, then everyone in the point is his dive buddy! It's really same same dive park buddy diving with him!! ha ha ha!

Okay, I'm not envious of his dive buddies "He's got my back." feeling, more of a "Dr. Bill will know what the heck this is that I'm looking at" sort of thing.

My girlfriend complains that she always gets hit on when she is going diving on a dive boat. She is not interested picking up guys, she just wants to go diving and minds her own business. Any suggestion?

Tell her to stay off the boat.. Diving is for men, women should be at home making hot dinners for the SI.
How does she get through life? Is she only pretty on a diveboat?

F'n ridiculous.

"What I have seen some girls do is pick one of the older or more refined gentlemen or another woman to befriend that way it is harder for me...ah I mean other divers to hit on them."


This is actually not a bad idea. As an old married man it's a kick when youngsters tell me how much I remind them of their father, not. But it does fire off the "protect mode" gene.

You are joking, right? If not, you're an _____ (I'll let others fill in the blank). This is a serious problem for a number of women and it shouldn't be.

I've been told that some women even take my attempts to explain what they are seeing underwater as a come on. That really bothered me, but I heard it from a dear friend who is a female instructor. Perhaps it is due to a long history of having other men hot on them on dive boats.

PS... I just saw your postscript (missed it in the post itself but saw it when I quoted you)... you were joking (although probably in poor taste) so you're probably not an ______!

I have no idea. How does she handle it when she is not diving? If she is nice looking and friendly, some men will hit on her. That’s a fact she must be familiar with already.

I'm assuming there is something very specific about what she interprets as "hitting". I know when I'm on dive boats, so many people have their own "cliques", keep to themselves, aren't in a chattery mood, whatever. In my past 3 boat trips, it just happened to be a fairely attractive young lady that I felt the most comfortable talking with and hanging out. I was not picking up on them. One was a very new diver that I offered to insta-bud with and it worked out quite well. We're about to go do her first beach dive in the next week or so.

I'm married and so (while it may not stop others, but for me ...) I'm not making passes. However, people who do not want to be spoken to usually make it obvious and except for all but the stubborn, just leave such people alone.

So my main point, is how is she interpreting "hitting" on her vs. someone just finding a person to talk to? Or discuss passions of diving (no pun intended whatsoever), or ask questions about gear configuration or even offer advice about it?

I will make this other point though: being in a confined area with a pretty lady in a bikini, especially if she's a newer diver, will certainly attract a lot of "willing" insta-buds. But in my case, doesn't have to be pretty lady or a bikini, but if an obviously newer diver, I might offer to insta-bud anyway (though not usually -- when I'm paying for a dive, I usually like to not take such risks -- but it depends on my mood and other factors).

Offering to insta-bud is not the same as making passes.
