Some topics for the call for responses I would propose: 

Occasions when a man was creepy towards you at a social event.

Occasions when a woman was creepy towards you at a social event.

Occasions you met a new male friend at a social event, and how it wasn't creepy, and what was fun/interesting/good about it.

Occasions you met a new female friend at a social event, and how it wasn't creepy, and what was fun/interesting/good about it.

(I mean new friend in the sense that you didn't know them, not that they were already a new friend before the event)

"This has never happened to me" would also be a useful response.

All of the above questions could be answered for either lesswrong-related events, or social events in general.

Occasions (or general patterns) when someone tried too hard to not be creepy toward you and displeased you as a result.

(Some of the policies that get tossed around are pretty extreme, so I'd be interested in measuring the overcompensation risk.)
