I was working as a busboy reaching up for a glass when an older server woman grabbed my ass so 'deeply' that her fingers almost reached my testicles, then squeezed like she was wringing out an orange. Even though I was unattracted to her, I was flattered at the time. Nonetheless, I'm pretty sure that's well past the bar for molestation.

Not an extreme example, but after I started working out more, a female coworker and boss would randomly touch my arms and shoulders when talking to me. Both about double my age.

In my case it didn’t bother me at all, but I just find it funny how little they have to worry about their actions being seen as too far.

Holy crap. Ditto except it was just a pinch and I wasn't at all flattered, I was shocked. I don't remember whether I was still 17 or had just turned 18. It was probably when I was still 17 though, as I went to college just days after turning 18. She was probably 3 times my age or so.

I was also 18 and also shocked. But women gave me so little positive attention that that was welcome.
