Dude! You’re _not_ s’posed to talk about Fight Club! Crotch if it’s a pretty woman, ass for anyone else. I don’t pay attention to who’s ticking what if my face, unless it’s blatant so I really don’t have an opinion the other way. ---

When going past people sitting in an aisle I give them the ass. When everyone is standing, they get the crotch. Can’t really say why I do it that way, it’s just the way I have always done it. Michael ---

I think one reason not to give crotch is that if you do and the row in front of you is filled you could be bumping them in the back of the head. ---

Movie theatre rows are usually wide enough that i dont have to give the ass or the crotch, i guess they get the hip. On airplanes I use my patented spinning ass-crotch combo move. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ass-or-crotch/49210.md?page=1)
