What do I do to reject a creepy or older guy at the bar? Getting him to leave me alone the rest of the night whilst still being able to enjoy myself?

Fine, but if a guy closer to your age was being equally creepy and acting like he's "on crack" would you make a point of his age?

What if he was a different race from you?

*Or short?

*Or a different religion?

  • Or deaf?

And being creepy.

Would you get so many upvotes and would I still be downvoted so much?

You called him out for something he has no control over, his age, and for something he should control, his behaviour.

Imagine the response if a white girl posted the same story with the title "how do I stop creepy black men from hitting on me?"

Or, "how do I stop creepy deaf guys from hitting on me?"

Or, "how doi stop creepy Muslim guys from hitting on me?"

How are any of those examples different from pointing out his age, if the nature of the behaviour has nothing to do with that intrinsic characteristic they have no control over?
