Thank-you for this. It's impossible for a man (who does not experience this) to understand how often it happens and what it feels like. My sister and I have even tried to explain this to our dad and he just doesn't get it. I'll be out to dinner with my dad, a man will approach me on my way to the bathroom, I will tell him to leave me alone, sit back down with my dad, and he'll say "but i didn't see anything." Men will usually approach women like this when she's alone or when she is in a group of other women, without other men around. Men often don't see (or notice) other men doing it. Or, the guy will act so friendly others will think that he knows her, but he doesn't. My sister is visiting me now and it's only early afternoon and we've already been approached twice by men. Once on our way from the car to the restaurant, and once at the restaurant, while walking to the bathroom. I do not live in a big city and I do not go to clubs. I'm a lesbian and my sister is in a serious relationship, and we both wear rings to try and deter this kind of thing. if you think this doesn't happen or its not a big deal or you sympathize with these guys making their approaches to women who are clearly trying to avoid them, that's because you are a man and you have never experienced what it feels like.
