I have had lot of it happening to me.
When it happens sometimes, for example, yesterday lots of people took photos with and of me and I was happy about it.
As for today, it was a work day, I was wearing casual clothes,
I was wearing casual clothes, I went outside to but coffee and there’s a bank, bankers had a lunch break and they were out, smoking cigarettes, one of them took me a photo when I was looking away, I noticed him at the last moment, and then he quickly put his phone back.
I didn’t get annoyed about that, they were young and handsome, I just got surprised about the fact that “Instead of taking a picture to me, they could come to me and ask my number or something.”
About 4 hours later, as I finished working, I went out and there was a man in his 40s on a scooter, he followed me right behind, he was riding a scooter right behind me, even though the road was empty. I thought I’d give him a space and when I looked at him, I saw he was taking me a video.
I got pissed off.
It’s one thing, if someone sees me and takes a photo but it’s totally different when someone follows and takes a video to my butt.
I know girls in Shanghai aren’t very famous with their butts and it’s a rare sighting for Chinese males, but it doesn’t give anyone excuse to follow me right behind and take a video, right?
It made me feel bad.
So, I am used to the fact that I can’t walk without people looking and without them looking at my backside,
but it’s another level to be followed and videotaped during just walking for yourself…
So, I know I am not any special curvy or something, it’s just my waist to hip ratio is 0.62. Meaning my waist is noticeably smaller than my hips, it always made men stare a lot, but It’s a basic human right to have some privacy and not follow me behind rudely.
I wonder why does he want a video or a picture of me?
In China, it’s crazy. They always take photos.
