Women, how often have men approached you in a scary/weird way when you’re alone?

You ironically made this post a couple of days after some weird stuff.

i like taking walks. But a couple days ago i was walking... and a black car with tinted windows slows down next to me. A man gets out and goes to the opposite side of the street.

So I'm walking and keeping an eye on him, because that's how I am. And I'm walking fast and he also starts going fast... so now I'm getting paranoid. But at least he is on that side of the street.

But then he started crossing over, lol and came up to me and started asking me about where I was going and if I was married. Scared the shit out of me. I wish guys would not do weird stuff like this.

Yikes 😬

[7Phoenix7]

@Still-alive exactly lol

[KittygosMeoWW]

That’s crazy. I’m so sorry you went through that. I was actually almost raped/stabbed on a walk this week over the last couple of months. I’ve had a lot more scary interactions, which is weird because I’ve always had the same routine. I’ve been going through some changes in my appearance not sure if it’s that but it’s so uncomfortable and scary.

[7Phoenix7]

That's crazy, can't even go for a walk in peace. Please be careful...

I don't know maybe it was someone keeping an eye on you and they learned your routine

[KittygosMeoWW]

Yes, not even with my dog. You be careful as well!

Weirdly enough I had made a tik tok lol and some man was in the background just standing watching me.

[7Phoenix7]

See now that's creepy af

I have been lucky, most men have been very nice.

[Still-alive]

I’ll admit as guys it can be tricky to understand how to approach properly because a lot of us don’t attempt to try to understand what its like for you women. So approaching you in obviously sketchy ways may not register to many of them and need to be told that how they are going about it is wrong.

I eventually got it. But a lot of dudes still don’t. And there's those dudes who don’t care at all and think they’re being ‘alpha’ or something.

anyways just wanted to offer some insight

[KittygosMeoWW]

I understand what you’re trying to say but my recent interactions aren’t friendly ones. They’re more like rape murder ones.

[Still-alive]

Ok there's the obvious bad ones you should definitely avoid who do mean harm and know exactly what they are doing.

I was more talking about the clueless socially inept ones who haven’t learned the basics of how to approach.

[KittygosMeoWW]

Yeah that doesn’t scare me much it can be awkward

[Summeroflove]

I think that it’s really creepy when someone won’t leave someone alone. If someone ignores you or tells you to go away then leave them alone. It’s not worth bothering people who don’t like you anyways.

It depends on the context. What they say. How they say it. And who they are.

Once that I can recall. Some old dude told me to walk slower so that he can have a better look at me. 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

[Agape93]

Not often anymore. Happened a lot when I lived in the city and first moved out here.

[Ms_Facesitter]

A few times, luckily they are a minority. Men, stay classy.

@KittygosMeoWW very often but mostly when they are drunk

[WowGIrl4ever]

Oh girl, more than I can remember.

[WowGIrl4ever]

But I carry guns so I'm not really worried about it

[KittygosMeoWW]

I got a taser and I always carry pepper spray with me, but after a scary incident this week I am gonna think about getting a pew pew again

[WowGIrl4ever]

Id recommend them
