... yeah you sound like you're more than a little full of yourself to think that all of the men you meet are only interested in your for your body.

I fucking knew I'd get a comment like this. I have absolutely zero self confidence, I was terrified of speaking to men for the longest time because they were always calling me fat and ugly to my face when I was young and didn't want anything to do with me. Then I got older, lost weight, grew into myself, became more sociable. Any time I tried to make a friend with a single guy at parties, he'd turn it into a sexual thing. Literally the only time it's really safe to make a male friend is when they're already involved, but even that blew up in my face once. And believe me, I am not anything special other than my interests being more geared towards video games or other typically "masculine" hobbies (which isn't special either, but guys seem to think it is when it's brought up). And I certainly don't give the impression I'm looking for a boyfriend or sex.

I'm being sexually harassed by a married man at work lately. I don't feel comfortable going near him anymore. The worst part is, he's attractive and well liked and he knows it, so I feel like he's doing it to me as like a "favor" that I should be grateful for. It's just horrible.

I'm sorry, anon, I can definitely empathize with you.

Every long-term male friend I've ever had has wanted to have sex with me (I know because they've all told me as much, in one way or another). And while I obviously don't know for sure about the more acquaintance-level friends, I'd definitely say quite a few of them have wanted to as well (they're not generally all that subtle, you know?).

In defense of some of my male friends, I've had a few who were entirely capable of dealing with their feelings on their own and not treating me like an object, or like I owed it to them to fuck them. And the majority of the acquaintance-level guy friends haven't actually been inappropriate with me.

But it does get incredibly alienating, over time, when you realize that you go through life feeling like you need to be prepared to deal with the fallout of denying men this thing they really want from you.

I'm sorry you've had so many bad experiences, anon. And I'm sorry about the asshat above who went the load road in trying to invalidate your experience.

Nah. They don't.

Not really? Are you the type who doesn't believe women who come forward with cases of being sexually harassed or preyed on if they're not conventionally attractive?
