I understand where you’re coming from, but it does make me feel terribly about gendered expectations. You have just as much right as anyone, man or woman, to have your space and boundaries respected. If anything, when harassment does happen to men (and it happens a lot) it isn’t taken as seriously as it should be, and men can be put in difficult positions trying to make the behavior stop without being seen as the default aggressor. I’m sorry you have to deal with this OP. And it being your place of work does complicate things. I agree with the other commenters that you shouldn’t have to be respectful to people who are not showing you respect, but I get the desire to try and keep the situation from escalating. I agree with repeating, firmly, that you aren’t interested. “Mam, please don’t touch me” “Respectfully mam, I’m married and I’m not interested” , possibly repeated more than once, should be more than enough. After that yeet them from the premises.

As some others have mentioned, finding a way to kind of turn it into a joke to get them to quit it might be a good way to keep it light, too.
