I have always been able to walk my dog and feel safe, comfortable. I have even walked my dog at 10 pm. at times. But lately I have received cat calls from guys when I’m walking down the street. Cars Honk and whistle. I used to think nothing of it.
Then came the weird questions when the guys are driving. They ask stupid questions such as “you wanna fuck” and “how much do you charge.” At that time I just got nervous whenever it happened,
But lately guys have been coming up and started having conversations with me. I don’t know them but they come up and ask me questions I usually just ignore them, but then there like “don’t be like that, I’m just trying to get to know you” that’s when i usually speed walk out of there.
I don’t know why they talk to me. I’m not wearing anything hoochie I just wear t-shirts and sweats. I tried wearing jeans and t-shirt but they come even more, so eventually i went back to my old clothes. My family even says i dress like a hobo.I tried wearing jeans and t-shirt but they come even more, so eventually i went back to my old clothes.
The point is I want them to stop.
