So here’s how I’ve dealt with it. You learn to pick up on it earlier and earlier as you experience it. And it’s gotten to the point where if I can sense it’s about to happen i don’t even look at them while I’m walking by. just say “no” firmly.. honestly sometimes with a flippant hand as if to shoo him away. I’ve now gotten to the point where it’s like “please just, no. Just... no”. And keep walking. There’s definitely a bitch tone to it. Just pay them no mind like they’re annoying mosquitos.
If I’ve got a creeper looker.. you know the ones. They follow you in the super market and stare for too long. I’ve now gotten to the point where when we lock eyes I just flat out say “this is weird.”
