to hate the way some men come on to you?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t get chatted up all day every day. This might make it sound that way but it’s definitely not the case! I have noticed however on the occasions that I do get chatted up or receive male attention, it’s often in a really creepy, quite disgusting way. In the last month or so I’ve had a guy:
⁃ lick their lips at me
⁃ Call me ‘lighty’
⁃ Comment on my ‘phat ass’
⁃ Stare at me with this bizarre whimsical look on their face as if to say ‘I’m interested if you are’

Now please. Tell me I am imagining this because I like to think that most men don’t behave in this way, however I have noticed that many men do and it either makes me nervous or angers me.

Are there women out there who respond positively to this type of behaviour?

Does anyone else experience this?

It's quite vulgar but apparently normal considering how much I experience it...

There always have been creeps around, making eyes and such.
I ignore them if it's not too intense, or slay them with a look if needed.

It makes my blood boil! I don't mind a compliment and anyone who gets annoyed over a kind, innocent comment needs their head checked, but so many men seem to think it's ok to be vulgar and crude. Make sexual comments. I'm having a bit of a moment as it just happened and I had to hold my tongue when really I should've told him to fuck Off!

I've had men stare, grab my arm/backside, say lewd and disgusting sexual things to me and then get annoyed when I tell them to do one. Most men are fine, but the creeps do ruin it for the rest of them.

Hate it as well, OP. I have large boobs and often find men leering horribly and obviously at them then looking for my reaction - presumably to see whether they're going to get the Fuck Off Face or something more accommodating. Agree completely with genuine compliments - I'd bloody love one of those! But I honestly haven't had a decent conversation with a strange guy in a bar for years.

I have a partner and am pregnant with no intention of meeting anyone else, but it is refreshing when you get a compliment that is just that. Someone being nice and not expecting anything in return. It's just bizarre. What do these blokes think they're going to get in return? A thank you and a quick shag? Hmm. Just don't get it...

The most annoying one is blokes who go "I would" urggghhhh they're usually fat, fifty and bald holding a pint and staring at a 30 years old woman....turns my stomach and gives me the rage at the same time

Also men who try and chat up the best looking woman in our group when out and then complain that women are only interested in looks and money when they get turned down.
