I'm writing a story, and I need to know how people other than myself would react in a certain situation.

A stranger makes eye contact, and a moment later he strikes you across the face. How do you react? How do you react if you are instead kissed?

Feel free to be as elaborate as you please, and include details such as motivation if you feel like it.

If it matters, the perpetrator is a teenage red haired male, neat appearance, and physically unintimidating. Does their appearance, age or gender, relative to yours, affect your response? How might you react differently of they were different?

Absolutely. If slapped I'd slap him back. If kissed I'd ask why. If slapped by someone a lot more intimidating I would walk or run away depending on where and what time.

Interesting, the people I've asked so far usually react more violently to a kiss. (I wonder if there's a gender difference that explains that...) would you react differently to being kissed if he appeared scary?

I'd probably say, "what the hell were you thinking," and walk away.

If we are in public I see no reason to overreact. If it's at night and we're alone, I'd pepper spray him.

If another dude came up to me and kissed me, I'd probably drill him in the gut. I wouldn't beat the hell outta him, but I wouldn't be receptive to his advance.

If another dude slapped me, I'd probably laugh at him.
