Is it sexual harrasment to ask a woman at work what kind of pantyhose she is wearing?

Answer 1

YES MAYBE U WANT A SPANK

Answer 2

I do it all of the time. I will tell a woman that her outfit is absolutely gorgeous. Then I will ask her where she bought different items in her outfit. I am very knowledgeable about womens clothing and I always compliment others, so people don't think that is weird. Just the other day, Janice was wearing shiny pantyhose. I loved it, so I asked her where she got it. No biggie. But if you are just going up to a woman and asking her, then take the responses on here as an indication of how she will respond.

Answer 3

I get asked that question all the time at work, and it's probably because I don't wear them, I wear stockings which are so much more sheer that they have a different look. When the women ask me, I tell them the brand, which is European, but not that they are stockings unless they are close friends of mine.

When the guys ask I simply ask them back Why do they want to know? Sometimes they say they want to get some fer their girl friend or wife, others come right and say they look like stockings. I just say you'll never know, and laugh it off. It's cute the way they always try to catch a glimpse of stocking top, or a bump from the garter belt under my skirt.

To answer question it is totally up to the kind of relationship you have with the person you want to ask, and their general personality. I am closer to the men than women in my office, so the guys treat me like one of them and figure it;s OK. Ask the wrong kind of woman, and you could find yourself in trouble. Be very careful.

Answer 4

I work in a law office after school and the ladies are always asking me. the truth is that I wear stockings, not pantyhose, that's why they look so nice. I used to hide it from them, because I didn't know how they would react, but I got caught fixing them in the bathroom once, and to my surprise, the lady said that she thought that I was wearing them, and that's why they were asking me.

It seems that the older married ladies have them at home for special times with their husbands, but thought that younger girls like myself didn't even know what they were. She was surprised when I told her that a lot of girls my age all wear thi highs and stockings, because pantyhose are too nasty, covering up your nice underwear and all.

You never know what the reaction will be, so I would be careful, because you could get in trouble if you ask the wrong person.

Answer 5

If you ask a co worker this kind of question you had better pick your words very very careful when you ask as not to offend her with the question.

Sexual harassment carries a lot of weight at a job site and you can loose your job and end up getting sued in the process.

I was a warehouse supervisor for a couple years and I seen several sexual harassment files come across my desk. All but one female won there case.

Answer 6

Not, if you ask her like I'd be asking what kind of jeans you're wearing...Make absolutely sure you don't smile or show any sign that it's a sexual joke. Keep physical distance and look serious, if you are anyway...make sure it isn't a sexual advancement. Also, don't ask that question if you've already flirted or sexually advanced yourself already..

Answer 7

It really depends if your comments make her feel uncomfortable or threatened in some way. If you have a very good relationship with the woman and it comes up in innocent conversation that also does not offend any listeners you are okay.

Answer 8

I only quit my pastime, yet i got here upon my boss horny (no longer the reason I quit). I saved wondering that he become fascinated and he would communicate in very casual phrases. I type of concept he would make a bypass, yet he by no skill did. i'm the fashion of female that has the guy make the bypass. you realize, I hate to assert it, yet w/many men in means positions, it style of feels they galvanize the female as a means ploy w/o which skill for something genuine to look.. then they turn tail and act harmless. undesirable gamble Missy.

Answer 9

I think you might have been lucky not to come away with a slap from that one.
If I knew I was having a joke about it with someone and it was VERY claer that was all it was and I was comfortable with answering then it would be ok. But I would jsut assume that it isn't. Safer all round.

Answer 10

Depends why you want to know. If you get a kick out of talking to women about their underwear then yes.

If you need to buy some then just say "I want to buy some, where do you get yours from". They'll think you're wierd, but you won't be done for harassment, unless you keep doing it.

Answer 11

Well, not if you're a woman, and maybe you're interested in buying the same pair. But if a man asked that? Yeah, it's a little weird.
