Like many of you girls (and perhaps some of you lucky guys), I have been a victim of multiple attacks of roadside serenading in the past and it always, ALWAYS gets my goat. For some reason, some men (and yes, not all) think they have a right to perve at a random stranger simply because they used to do it back home/are with their mates/are deluded enough to think it will actually work and the girl in question will giggle and hand over their phone number.
The usual woo-ing tactics are:
a. singing a cheesy song along the lines of ‘tujhe dekha to..’ (or similar) which is inteded to make the listener fall in love either because of the power of the voice or just because it’s *so * romantic
b. Waggling eyebrows and suggestive smiling. Ew.
c. The offender following you down the street (in one extreme case, the guy jumped on a bus, train and followed the girl near to her house while shouting ‘PLEEEEEEEEASE WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND!’. And I’m not making this one up)
So, any tips to combat this (please?!) Also, any offenders on GS?! Come on, spill it!
One time I was eating at a local cafe at university. So this Arab guy comes up and does the whole ‘where are you from’ routine. Asked for my number, as I was saying no, he offered me his cookie…A FREAKEN COOKIE and he’s like my Mom made it….
dont know any combat tips really. But this reminded me of a guy who whispered the whole complete song “Kehta hai pal pal tum se, ho ke dill yeh deewana. ik pal bhi jaanay jaana, mujh se door nahin jaana. Piyaar kiya tou nibhana…” in my ear. We were in a public bus. I was standing coz all seats were taken, and he was standing right behind me. aaah those were the days
But how would you ever find out if you're even pretty.......if the guys didn't do those things? Don't you realize the importance?
But alas if it bugs you that much, then I sugget you arm yourself with a sling shot whenever you leave your home. Aim for their eyes and they will no longer be able to stare at you...let alone know where to follow you.
ok so let me get this straight, random guys stare at you? if yes, why do you think they do?

Darling the last thing Im trying to do is toot my own horn. Believe me, these guys will try it with anyone female walking past their direction. It hasn't happened to me loads or something (apart from the random paedo type incidents when I was younger and guys used to say scary things), its a genuine problem here. Green street and Ilford are the worst places, they just think that they're in a mini Pakistan/Bangladesh and have the right to harass girls.
