Most of them I'm sure would be a little put off or frightened if the touch was returned. I saw it once in a while, but most often when I traveled with my ex in the far east. <BR/><BR/>For some reason, probably because it seems safer and the hair was usually longer, this happens mostly with women with light colored hair.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543839836945031346noreply@blogger.com
