Oh yeah, all the time. I have encountered many men who think they can teach you a drop, lift or (usually painful) complex move, normally during freestyle. I have to admit these days I normally say I don't do drops or lifts with people I don't know. I guess I have become more 'difficult' over the years out of self-preservation. As a general rule, I don't greatly appreciate being 'taught' moves by freestyle partners. If it's leadable, then they should lead it, if it isn't or they can't, then I'd rather they leave it alone and lead something else.
