You don't understand what you're talking about.

Here's how that works, in a couple of scenarios:

1st, the guy says you're attractive. Maybe he hollers something at you as you pass by. If that's the case, you can't be flattered because if you are, he assumes that that means that you're willing to accept his advances. He tests your boundaries a little bit more. Maybe, he follows you for a while or asks you something inappropriate about his perception of your sex life. (I was a young teenager when this happened. I didn't even have an image of a sex life.) If he thinks he can intimidate you, you're in trouble.

Let's say he doesn't street harass you. Let's say he visits your gym. He's a visiting coach. You shake his hand and he holds yours too long. You're still way young, so you don't realize that what you need to do is get in his face immediately. Instead, you don't say anything because you don't know how, but every time thereafter that someone shakes your hand, you remember that dude.

Are all men like that? No. The problem is that women who most need to know a guy who isn't like that tend not to have access to that kind of good guy. If you start early with bad dudes, that's who tends to follow you around throughout your life. Personally, I didn't choose to know bad guys. My father wouldn't let me associate with anyone else. He has specific ideas of women and he needed me to be around men who would hurt me in order for those ideas to be accurate.

And the worst part of that: I can't tell anyone, because if I do, they try to make me into a damsel in distress and rescue me. You know what the knight expects from the damsel after he rescues her? Yeah.

So, stop. Beauty alone is highly overrated. What you're imagining is beauty that is loved and cherished and supported. Many are the women who don't have that.

I'm pretty sure you owe me an apology.
