You did not bring down two of the royal guard in an unceremonious heap because the woman in the middle tripped.
But if anything will turn me off, it’s a very practiced approach, as if the man has done it a thousand times before, to a lot of different women. Which always seems to imply that I am no different from all the rest. Not flattering.
