Question Posted Thursday November 30 2006, 1:29 pm
Okay so I really didn't know where to put this question so...
I am so sick of guys!
Like, I love them but I'm sick of not even being able to go into 7-11 for a bottle of water without getting told some derogatory remark!
Like...I'm at my school walking to lunch and a guy (who I don't know) walks past me and says "Ooh".
Sure, I like attention but it's always just because guys want some.
Random guys have asked how much a certain amount of money would get them and stuff but...Don't get me wrong...it feels good knowing that I'm attractive to guys but...how do I get it to stop a bit? Or at least handle it better.
Thanks ahead of time.
XOXO

The thing is if your just randomly getting these remarks from guys you don't know, it's not going to change anything because it probably won't happen again by the same guy. Here's how I work out what I say/don't say to guys that are like this. If they go to your school, make a quick and whitty remark to let them know your not intimidated. If they're random guys, do/say whatever you want. It's funny to yell out that you have some some STD like herpes and get a weird reaction or yell something embarasing (to them) like "It's okay to be small down there" If it's guys that you know, ignore them or give them the coldest look possible. They'll get the picture. [ Friday_im_in_love's advice column | Ask Friday_im_in_love A Question ]

No need to throw the "sexual harrasment" thing around. That term is incorrectly used in most situations these days.
For the most part ignore them. If they are hanging around outside a business, tell the manager they make you uncomfortable and they SHOULD make them leave the property and stop loitering. If at school, tell a teacher. Those would be in the worst cases though.
You could also just joke back with them. They ask how much, tell them they don't HAVE enough money.
Most likely they will either leave you alone because picking on you isn't fun any more or one of them will get really interested in you and ask you out.

If someone else does it, just ignore them or tell them to stop. I'm not sure they will but just let them know that you don't give a crap weather they think you're hot or not. They're just lame.

coconutcatastrophe answered Thursday November 30 2006, 4:32 pm: you need to tell them to stop if you don't like it.
(if you haven't done that already)
if you have already then its ual harassment believe it or not.
and that is illegal.
but then you said "how do I get it to stop a bit?"
in that case talk to them about it.
like tell them your not a + they're not gonna get any so if thats what they want they should just stop saying "Ooh" and stuff.
hah. or you can just get a boyfriend and he'll beat them up for you ;]
