*name change
I was out early this morning walking my dog and in running gear (right leggings and vest) as I planned to go for a run for the first time in a while. Not many people were out but two men playing loud music on a bench. I walk past and both are just staring at me, heads moving as I walk and I feel uncomfortable. I turn down a road, so they can see the back of me and I'm still uncomfortable because I can feel their eyes on my backside. When I walk my dog back to my house, they are still there and still looking at me.
I still haven't gone out for a run this morning, I'm so put off.
I'm not even attractive either which is weird, you would expect this to happen to good looking people right? This used to happenen all the time in my late teens (I'm late 20s now) that I refused to leave the house, especially in the summer. And I never make myself look nice, as much as I'd like to because I don't like or want looks from men.
Does this happen to anyone else?
What do you do when it happens? It's difficult to ignore because it's just too creepy.
Would you say anything to creeps who stare? I feel like confronting and screaming.

AIBU?
To not appreciate looks and leers from men?

Am I being unreasonable?
