How to deal with creepy old white men?

Question

I am a biracial girl and of course I had tons of older white gentlemen smile at me. It does kinda get weird. Some old dude called me by my full name and started smiling at me. Some other old dude was with his daughter and he kept complimenting me with his daughter in the car and he kept smiling even after I took his order. It was just so creepy.

Is it strictly just white men? I don’t think you need to add a racial component to this as I don’t think it is needed and can cause more problems than necessary. To answer your question, I would just ignore them until you can’t and then you become more vocal or if it comes down to it then physical. For example, if it’s a friend’s dad then bring it up to your friend if it gets to uncomfortable levels for you.

Ah I know what you mean. I used to be a cashier and a lot of times some of the customers who were old men would act creepy towards the female cashier's. Most of them were underaged too. I remember how uncomfortable they were and it always made me really angry.

I'm sorry you have to experience stuff like that.

It never stops so you just learn to ignore it or avoid it, and ways to embarrass them on the spot if it gets too out of hand.

Stay away from them I guess. Or tell them how you feel so they stay away from you.

If a guy complimenting you, by itself, is creepy, then perhaps YOU are the one with the problem.

Yeah I can see how some one being nice is a bad thing, hopefully they will stop and pretend you don't exist or maybe insult you so you don't feel as creeped out.

This is stupid, so very stupid. I'm sorry that you find people being nice creepy, but it sounds like a you problem more then a them problem.

As a 57 year old guy, I am sorry you have these experiences, the only thing I can suggest is act aloof, or wear an engagement or wedding ring, give the creepy guys the finger with the ring on it, then you are just showing the ring, and not using the flip finger so it's not rude lol,,,

Sometimes you just can't win.
You don't wanna come off as rude or obnoxious, so you smile. Then you don't wanna be considered creepy so you don't smile.. It's just as horrible for a bloke believe me..

I smile at talk to dogs that I know their names. Just being friendly. Anyway all old white guys are racists , would you rather have them chase you with a rope. Any way Mrs. Obama (in title only since she looked more like a man) thought all white people were racist.

You should probably see a therapist and get put on some antipsychotics...

Replace the word "white" with "black" and then ask yourself if this question would still fly.

jspl90 · Answer

so how did he compliment you? and how was the smiling creepy?

Leaver · Answer

Yeah, maybe turn off the Dateline NBC. Smiling and saying hello is not creepy. Talking about how nice your legs look in a pair of shorts or something like that is creepy.
