A few years ago, I was walking past a bus stop when an elderly man said hello to me. I DO NOT say hello to unknown men when I’m alone in public because I feel it opens the door for them to say anything they want to me, so I just walked past this man without responding. He stood up and yelled after me, “Fuck you bitch! Kiss my ass!” I was really embarrassed because everyone within earshot turned and looked at me as if I had really insulted this old man.

The fact that he reacted like that made your instincts to ignore him right on the money. Do men honestly think that cursing women out is going to make the women more attracted to them? Aye-yi-yi.
