(146,262 posts)there are a lot of guys who are gropers. I have heard that from many of the women I've known in my life. Just about every woman I know has experienced some guy who groped them at some time or another. For a lot of them, it was during their teen years when they were just started dating.
I don't know Cuomo, so I have no idea if he is a groper or not.
I never was, not even as a teenager. It's just not my style. I either asked or waited until the other person took the initiative and suggested it or physically moved my hand. I can't imagine groping anyone anywhere without actual permission or through the other person's actions.
But, I've heard from almost every woman I know well that they have been groped without permission at sometime or another. Their reactions to that varied a lot, of course. But it's a common experience, apparently. My wife told me that a kid in high school groped her on her very first date with him. She said that she told him, "Knock that crap off and take me home." She was already not a person who tolerates such things.
So, I suppose that Cuomo might have done that, but I don't know the man. Such crude behavior on the part of many men is pretty common, from what I understand, though.
