I am just curious here. Lets say you are sitting at a local coffee shop just minding your own business and a dude starts to hit on you. He is average looking and appears totally harmless.

My question here is are you more defensive in this type scenario than in a session with a first time (but verified) client?

The reason I ask is because in my experiences as a hobbyist. The providers, even the ones that are new, are way more relaxed locked in a room with a total stranger than in a safer public setting like a starbucks.

Ladies and gentlemen please share your experiences in both settings. I am very curious about the psyche behind this topic.
