I'm afraid the woman would have been laid out on the floor at the first touch. Its that automatic. I'd give Chuck Norris a round house kick to the face if he invaded my space.

The girl that came up behind you and started rubbing your back, was she hot? What was she wearing? What were you wearing? Paint us a picture here, so to speak..
Better yet, post a pic.

I'm a touchy person sometimes. Depends on the person I get to touch.
If I don't know someone, or don't like them then I don't want them near me and they'll know it before they get within 2'.

No, I know what you mean. I don't mind the touchiness IF I KNOW YOU REALLY WELL. Otherwise....it's just weird.
Sometimes if someone's doing the touchy thing and it's weirding me out, I say to them, "at least buy me a drink first."

She is showing no respect for your space. Feel free to make that clear both verbally and nonverbally, in public and in private if necessary. It may be that you have already made it clear nonverbally and she is ignoring your cues; that makes her an aggressor.
Was taught in a drama class with a very useful visual that all people have personal space, but that it varies. The teacher took several class members to the front of the class and told them to stand in one place. He approached closer and closer until each one in turn backed away or avoided him. Some had larger "bubbles" than others; they usually made it clear with body language. [ETA: This from a generally friendly southerner.] |

It depends if it "a good touch" or "a bad touch". And that depends on what mood I'm in and who's doing it.
But really... I don't mind too much. Now if I have no idea who you are... probably shouldn't be touching me but if I know ya... touch away if you feel you need to. |

Hell, I don't let some people I know touch me either. This is MY space, stay out! |

Yeah, touchy people, regardless of gender, make me uncomfortable if they're strangers. If it's somebody I know, eh, fine, depending on how I feel about them. If it's a close friend or family, sure, hug me or whatever (doesn't matter if you're male or female), but if you're a stranger or a coworker or someone I don't like (99% of the people in the world, haha), don't even think about getting close like that, LOL.

Once standing in the line for the ladies room at the Kennedy Center, this old fat woman kept resting her enormous gut on my butt. I kept inching away from her, turning to the side, and then I finally turned around facing her hoping she would back off. She still didn't get the hint and it was just too creepy having her bumping into my abdomen with her roll of fat, so I turned around.
 I really wanted to assault an old woman! If she hadn't been old... I can't imagine why someone wants to get that close unless he/she is a perv, or trying to pick your pocket.

I am not a touchy, feely person.. even with people I like.
I tend to like my personal "aura" around me, and not to be invaded. |

I generally don't mind touchy too much but I have my personal space requirements, 2 foot minimum is generally enough. A step one way or the other generally gives the up-in-the-grill folks the hint to talk to me from more than 2 inches away.

Hmmmm, now that depends. If it's a hot guy with baby blues, then I'm alright with it. He can share my personal space all he wants.
 Anyone else? Get the hell out of my 'safe circle'.

toucher here--apparently im in the minority
i do have what i think are appropriate boundaries, though--i would NEVER just come up and get all touchy feely like your new employee, daisy--thats way too much, especially in a work environment--i am careful to remain professional at work and pay close attention to body language and non-verbal cues--i know who i can and cant touch at work, and by this i mean a touch on the arm or back when i go by your desk or see you at the copy machine--im not going to go running into someones office and smack them flat with a hug  --i am known for my awesome backscratches and backrubs, though--free of charge and upon request --bottom line, im probably not touching you at work unless you have invited itin my personal life is a bit different, though--if i have met you once, you are more than likely to be asked for or offered a hug when i see you again (did i hug you when we met, mrsgh?? i cant remember) i try not to be overborad with it and alwyas ask before i hug you the first time, but youd better take the opportunity then to tell me you prefer not to be hugged, cause your on my list if i get one--i have also been known to forget  and am sensitive to gentle reminders--i dont expect you to be uncomfortable--im just a hugger (and a poker, tapper, tickler--im kind of an attention hound in person)why, you may ask?? i dunno--ive always had a fairly small personal space--i dont mind crowds or sitting in a crowded arena or standing in line for the bathroom

I'm sort of half and half in this regard. My "personal bubble" is normally pretty small, I don't have a problem with other people entering my personal space and touching me, but unless it's a very neutral situation like a handshake or when I really need to get someone's attention (in which case I use a touch to their shoulder or arm), I'm almost never the first to enter their personal space and touch them.
After all, they probably have cooties. Now, back to the fluffing!

I've been known to 'accidentally' step back onto their foot, or, if they're standing behind me with a cart, I bump it then act like they hurt me. It's really funny. But yeah. I've gotta have my eighteen inches. |

I'm gonna have to draw down on this chick.
Today, we're ordering chinese. She comes over, puts her hand on my shoulder, holds the menu and says "what's good". I said "IT's a freaking chinese restaurant!". ugh. And she had on this wicked perfume, that made my already bad headache go into supersonic mode. I swear I'm gonna have to hit her.

That didn't come out right, did it?  That'd bring tears to a girl's eyes.This might seem a little extreme, but try eating a few garlic cloves and breathing on her for a few days. Bet she backs off big time. For me, how much touching I tolerate depends largely on the vibes the person is giving off. Complete strangers can get the hell away from me. But people I don't know that well who seem 'touchy' can be tolerated if there's no pervy vibe going on. Depends on the person and the situation. |

Until a few years ago, I needed my own 'personal space', but with the ethnic groups i've been socializing with, it's considered the norm. Meet the friend of a friend and it's an automatic hug, or kiss on the cheek. It was wierd at first. My family isn't real close to begin with and to have some come up to you and hug you was a shocker.
Can't complain now though. Go with the flow. |

I used to require a lot of personal space when around others.
Living in Venezuela for a few years changed some of that. In Venezuela, the people stand close to you when talking, and the women great friends and family with a hug and kiss on the cheek. At the time I was a missionary so I wasn't allowed to accept the hugs and kisses (darn it! It hurt to have to exert so much self control!) On a few occasions girls snuck past my defenses and landed a kiss on my cheek.  Anyway, I've since been able to handle close proximity a little better. I frequently greet close guy friends with handshakes, family with hugs, and with women it depends on how well I know them. Usually a handshake is in order but sometimes a hug. What I can't handle are crowded conditions, with or without touching. If I'm in a room crowded full of people, I try to find a less occupied area. My wife is the one person with whom I want as much physical contact as possible, whether it's giving a pat, hug, squeeze, etc., etc.
