Don't you hate being followed?

If you felt creeped out or unsafe, you could have went to store security. I think I would have asked for store security to walk me to my car, or escort me out of the building. Just to make sure the creeps weren't waiting for you outside the building.

Yeah walmart security pretty much doesn't exist...i know im a dude and all, but i alerted walmart staff for something like this once...

i was in the bathroom, doing normal bathroom stuff lol and i went over to wash my hands and this man comes walking out of the stall and just stands there looking at me... i ignore him. he walks really slowly to the sink and stops...looking at me....he asks if im liking the weather out. i answer, "sure". He is still looking at my butt. doing the up-down eyeing motion. I turned around and look him in the eyes arching my eye brows at him when he doesn't stop, and he is just like "aw c'mon!!!"
i immediately walked out of the bathroom, quickly. Males raping males does happen, and a full grown man against a 16 year old guy?
anyway, i told some of the staff and all that happened was one of them responded "ew thats creepy" and they all just return to what they were doing!! i couldn't believe it
 
public embarrassment does work well :) and I hate being followed in stoes, granted last time it was loss prevention following me, I think they were bored. I guess I look like a criminal LOL

This should have been taken care of by the store, when you notified them they should have called the police. Not only is this solicitation, which is illegal in most states, it's solicitation of a minor and in my mind teeters on the edge of molestation. If this EVER happens again or anything even remotely close I hope you call the police yourself. This type of behavior gives *** men/women all over the world a bad reputation. This goes WAY beyond creepy and dives right into the world of WRONG. I apologize that you had to experience this and hope that it doesn't make you think ill towards ***s that you deal with in the future.

The aversion people have to being looked at is kinda funny to me... it's amazing how socially inept society has caused us to be, so that unless we know someone, we are not even allowed to glance in their direction for fear of being accused of intended violence?

sad, really. i guess it's not funny at all. i guess we'll just all have to arrange marriage for our children, since meeting random people will likely be illegal at this rate, by the time theyre old enough to take interest in the opposite sex.

I wouldn't classify myself as creepy (hehe... go ahead and make your comments) but according to this, looking at a pretty girl and waiting till she makes eye contact to smile is socially unacceptable? i guess i've been doing it wrong from the start.

Society is like this for a reason... A single woman by herself is looked at as especially vulnerable, since women generally lack the upper body strength that many men have, and a man can usually overpower a woman (not all cases though). It isn't merely a man looking at a woman, it's a man leering and staring and giving an overall weird vibe to the woman. I have had men look at me and I just think, "whatever" b/c I'm not interested, but then I've also been stared at and been creeped out, there is a big difference. You can kinda tell what a person is thinking by the way they look and smile at you, and you can usually tell when someone is being a weirdo about it.
 
hey guys(and i do mean guys) WE CANT LOOK AT WOMEN JUST ACCEPT IT because this is what you get.... :nutkick::nutkick: then they :shocked: you and then they sick their :dog: on you then you get :owned:
 
Yeah, I usually get a feeling about certain people. I get looked at quite often (guys just like to look at girls) and I usually think nothing of it. If he is cute I'm usually quite flattered :D Its just sometimes you get the creepy vibe with some people and it just doesn't go away, I have learned to trust my gut. As a women you just have to trust that your instinct for flight is right. Know what I'm saying :)
 
I have NO problem with a guy, gorgeous or hideous, looking at me, checking me out, saying "Hey baby" or whistling at me. I have no problem with a guy checking me out, nudging his friend and quietly saying a comment to him. I wouldn't say I'm flattered, but it doesn't bother me. As others have said, there is a big difference between the typical guy checking you out, and the kinds of looks you get from the ones that creep you out. And its not a hot or not thing, there have been a few really good-looking guys that have really creeped me out with their behavior.

I was talking about guys obviously stalking and following you for extended periods of time and yelling really vulgar and disgusting things at you, even chasing you. These are the situations I'm tempted to sic my dog on people in lol. Not some guy checking me out. I think whether you're male or female, experiencing this (esp. when you are alone) can be pretty disturbing, as crimsonmoon's comment I think can attest to.

I completely agree with what you are saying. The guys, in my original post, actions were the creepy, leering, following you kind. Everyone should know the difference and learn to defend yourselves or act appropriately in these types of situations.
