Im walking around and some rando goes /damn girl!/ and slaps my ass and I’m like in distress bc anyone, no matter the gender shouldn’t have that experience, but this person called me a girl when I’m nb and hit on me when I’m wearing a shirt that’s say I’m gay move.
I often found the look of ‘you are wearing on my patience’ got through to those who could see it. It was unsubtle enough to get through, but not enough to set off more creepy backlash.
I think this creepy as a 100% heterosexual woman. But I also am creeped out when I watched peanut butter falcon an saw one of the main characters pestering the female character with how old are you, where did you go to school etc pp. Like out of nowhere at a shop. He was fleeing from people whose live stick he burned for various reasons.
And my first thought was: “tf, leave her alone, please” and the second “this seems to be seen as flirting in the US”
No matter the age, this is yuck. You can do this in a parody of a romcom, but not in reality.
The trick with old men is
they just want you to be nice to them and play along.
They don’t care how gay you are, or how taken you are, or whatever.
The cool thing is that they are no longer capable of getting an erection,
so they can’t “accidentally” rub it on you!
I love going to bars, old men hit on me all the time, no matter how short my hair. They’re totally harmless. It’s the young’uns you gotta watch for.
I disagree. As someone who worked at a shop where older, aggressive men frequented – I was in a constant state of fear. Nothing happened to me, but to my coworkers. I refuse to give them any sort of satisfaction because they’ll use it to their advantage. We had to call security quite often because of these men who tried to get too friendly or got too aggressive. I’d really appreciate it if you respected how people feel unsafe in public situations like this.
