I've had a lot of harassment from men, as well as nice men coming onto me in an acceptable manner. There is a huge difference between nice guys who are just trying to be friendly and express interest in you, and straight up harassment, and it has nothing to do with what the man's looks. It's more about how they treat you, with respect. I've been in many situations where I didn't feel safe and a nice guy was coming onto me and I wasn't comfortable. The minute a decent guy realizes he is making you uncomfortable, he backs the fuck off, like any decent person would. Being men and not knowing that the situation was a dangerous for a woman (like when I'm alone, and it's late at night, or no one else is around, ect) they usually just didn't realize the safety level for the woman. Or if the woman makes it clear she isn't interested, they leave her alone. That's not what this article is that. This is about the guy who doesn't respect her boundaries, doesn't care (or maybe even enjoys) that he is making her uncomfortable, and is a bullying ass. I've met this guy, and he's bully regardless of attractive he is. Being attractive doesn't make you not a bully. I've had attractive men sexually harass me. One of the worse cases of harassment came from a man who was way more attractive than anyone I had ever dated and I would have been flattered if he showed genuine interest in me. He didn't though, he was a jerk who spoke to me like he owned my body and ignored my boundaries, and I just wanted to finish walking down the street. I wanted him, Mr. very attractive man, to leave me alone and stop acting getting in my space and acting like he was entitled to my time or anything else.
