Recently I spent a bit of time walking around my new home.  As usual I was myself, shaking everybody's hands, even hugging some females when I left their homes, just because they treated me so well. There were huge smiles on the women's faces when I left.  On some level I'm pushing the limits.  On the following morning one of my colleagues told me that there was some negative talk about what I had done.  He said it was ok to shake young girl's (up to 12 or so) hands but after that no touching.
