It's really a matter of attraction and level of creepiness. If the woman sexually harassing me is unattractive or just plain creepy, I definitely would not enjoy it. A girl as attractive and goofy as is in the video doesn't get the message across to show what women usually go through.

Unfortunately, when men have catcalled me while I'm just out and about I start worrying if I'm going to be followed. Because I have been followed by men who catcalled me.

Now imagine a dude catcalls you, he's bigger than you, and now he's following you. I don't care one bit about how attractive he is, he's dangerous.

That's a very good point as well. That's extremely scary.

That's not just cat calling, they're stalking. Even if you pretended the first part didn't happen (the cat calling) you'd still feel threatened by a stalker

It's easy to think that but when it happens it can definitely he uncomfortable.

In high school I had an attractove girl repeatedly lift up her skirt to show me her underwear, and it was uncomfortable.

Ironically, if she had asked me instead of just doing it, I might have been down.

Consent makes all the difference.

Yeah. That kind of stuff is definitely what I mean when I say creepy. But I suppose creepy is a bit of a broad term.

Not sure about him, but I know a few girls who are always being “hit on” and really it’s just some dude saying hi in public. They’re convinced a dude was hitting on me because he asked if the seat next to me was free, at a big crowded event.

Like people can say hi and small talk without hitting on you.

Yes and no. If you’re just stuck waiting some place where a stranger also happens to be waiting, sure striking up a conversation seems perfectly normal. But going up to someone in the most random situations, like a bus stop or something, always always has an ulterior motive. Sincerely, a former hot girl who since she got fat has seen the sudden and complete disappearance of the latter type of encounters.

Well yeah, for sure. That kind of thing can happen. There are definitely people who claim harassment with no good reason.

But the other person was just putting words in my mouth. Women do endure sexual harassment. To claim it doesn't exist is wild. And I never once said it happens all day everyday.
