I can't believe how much more criticism and rebuttals there are in this thread than the one about women. What's up with that?
It bothers me when guys yell out things at me like "Hey baby" or "Suck me!" Since any idiot would know this is not going to get results, I can only take it as a form of harrassment. And then they complain that women are bitchy. It bothers me when guys don't talk to me like I'm a person and just come at me with pickup lines. A "real" approach will get you 100 times farther than cheesy canned lines. And it bothers me when guys who should be able to tell there's no chance of getting together with me try to pick up on me. I mean, if you're a 55-year-old street bum, you must know I'm not going to want to jump in the sack. So to me it's just more harrassment. And guys who are obviously married, like when I'm sitting in their office with pictures of their wife and kids and they're asking me out. Do I look like a whore?
Guys, I appreciate the difficulty of trying to hook up with women, trying to figure out if they're interested or not, working up the nerve to talk to someone. But I'm not talking about a respectful and sincere attempt, which is always flattering and can be handled politely. I'm talking about some stranger on the street going, "Nice tits!" when I walk by. Or even, "Hey beautiful" or something, if it's yelled at you on the street, it's harassment. Men who get touchy on this topic should understand that it's hard to deal with this all day. If you've ever had to rebuff unwanted advances from someone you found offensive, think about what that was like, then multiply by several hundred and you might find yourself getting a little reactionary too.
There's other things that bother me but I'm tired of ranting.
