    Went for a walk today. Went to check my PO Box...when I came back out onto the street, an exceptionally good looking young lady, probably early 20's, walks past clearly also out for some exercise. Was hard not to notice her sheer yoga pants that were semi see through in the sun that clearly highlighted her g-string. I was behind her for a good 10 minutes...but started to feel slighty uncomfortable, especially after what has just transpired in Melbourne, with a young woman murdered. I could tell this person was glancing back every couple of minutes to see where I was.

    So I decided to just cross the road, take a side street and go on a completely different route. Didn't want to make the woman feel any more uneasy.

    Anyway...I walk another 5 minutes or so and the same person comes up another side street and starts walking the same route as me again...she glanced over and I could tell she was thinking I was some kind of creepy stalker...what made matters worse was when she took out some keys and unlocked a gate - again looking at me as if to say 'fuck off you dirty old man'.

    Was really uncomfortable. Last thing I was trying to do was follow or perve on her. My efforts to remove myself from the situation clearly failed and made things worse. Yuk!

    • this. I always feel uncomfortable, even in a busy city street walking behind women in 'sexy' clothing or yoga pants etcshapesalad
    • ..you can so easily be accused of being a pervert, or at least looking creepy. Not that I don't first assess the ass-tits to determine how uncomfortable I feel.shapesalad
    • ^^ let's just say I was VERY VERY uncomfortable...if you get my drift. Even that sounds a bit creepy.BusterBoy
    • Should've just asked her if she has Jesus Christ in her life. That'd knock her off the scent.microkorg
    • Excuse me. Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?pango
    • maybe she was stalking you?hans_glib

    • Been there. It happened more than once. Talked to her, explained i just live in the same area, and also like running. Now we smile and wave.jagara
    • We shouldn't normalize paranoid feelings of "rape culture". If I was a woman in an actual rape culture, I wouldn't wear yoga pants, but something less revealingsofas
    • and maybe more practical, like pants with a pocket to hide a knife. Not that i'm blaming victims, people should be able to wear what the want and be safesofas
    • I would add, buzz my hair, ditch high heels, start practicing martial arts. I wonder why men behave this way...?sofas
    • I hold up my hands and say I'm innocent and then tell them the location your going in. Smile (non creepy)mugwart
    • its a shitty situation but they also project as much on to you. Its not fair that you feel shitty for walking around your area.mugwart
    • here's a question - Yoga pants women feel ok with pretty much revealing all - but us guys feel super not ok to wear tight trousers that reveal the general.shapesalad
    • Guys wear lycra for cycling, but you don't see guy wearing lycra so casually in public as women wearing yoga pants. Perhaps women need to think about that.shapesalad
    • For men, we don't reveal so much physically, we're modest - is that because we know how we react to seeing a hot girl in yoga pants?shapesalad

    • Me and my brother were out for drinks a while ago. We go past an alley where we see a young woman crying and we instinctively stop.soundofreason
    • We then look at each other for a second and he tells me "I don't want to get metooed", it was exactly what I was thinking. We continued our way.soundofreason
    • ^ we live in sick times.
      Both are right.

    • In Taiwan I saw an old man knocked off his scooter. Bleeding from face. Hot scooter exhaust on his leg. No one helped him. Just wait for ambulance.shapesalad
    • because of previous scams, people hesitant to get involved incase they get accused of something and have to pay hospital fee.shapesalad
    • that sort of nonsense totally sucks in modern life, in regards to your metooed comment. Sucks we can't help without fear of repercussions.shapesalad
    • < always, always, cross the street. never follow closely behind a woman.Gnash
