I just turned 18 and I can not longer use being a minor to ward off creeps. How can I stop older men from speaking to men or following me? (Page 2)

Since I was around 14 I've been catcalled by adult men some of which knew my age and didn’t care and others who just assumed I looked older. It’s not even teenage boys, 95% of guys my age know never to follow or shout sexual explicativas at a woman. I’ve always loved makeup and dressing up and I start doing that around high school but it was still pretty clear I was no where near “adult” looking. I’m now 18 and I’m only going to get older of course before I could use the im a minor excuse and at least some would leave me alone. I don’t know how adult women ward off creeps and catcalls especially the ones that follow you or try to wait around to see if you’ll pass by again etc. Of course I can still use the minor excuse now but in the future what do I use? I don’t get why men do this especially since they’re always incredibly old and it’s just scary. Just because I’m 18 doesn’t mean it makes any sense for a 35-40+ year old man to be interested in me. How should I respond to stay safe?
