Once a woman says "NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" and you persist, is not your persistence force? If I tell you leave me alone and you grab me and swing me around, you have committed battery.

Absolutely.

But after the NO! LEAVE ME ALONE is the man entitled to continue trying purely by persuasion and wheedling and gifts of flowers and candy to change the no to a yes? Does he have to take the LEAVE ME ALONE as absolute?

If so, a lot of happy marriages today would never have happened.

When I was a teenager, we were told that you could ask a girl for a date three times. Even if she said no the first two times, you were entitled -- even expected -- to ask a third time. But if the third time was no, that meant no, and move on.
