I’ve had men approach me in a genuinely respectful manner before and it’s always nice, it’s just the ones that can’t take no or come off creepy that ruin it

Personally don’t like it bc I’m rlly shy and it’s so awkward saying no but I don’t think badly if people who do it respectfully

Besides not taking no or reacting poorly when told you aren’t interested, what makes men approaching you come off as creepy?

The ones that comment about things in more of a sexual manner are the ones I consider creepy. Like if you approach me with something like “you look pretty” or “I like your outfit” or something that’s fine, but I’ve been hit with like “damn can I tap that” before and that’s a major turn off
