I like this a lot.

The Prairies over here, Border City Baby!

My goal is pretty simple. "Come back tomorrow".

Thanks! It's good advice, someone just mentioned Vit C too :)

I've been inactive for over three months, maintained, but didn't lose and feel shame.

I have a few different fears. Change and failure. Change because I've always known myself over weight. I don't know if I can handle liking my body. Hm.. Failure, because I have failed so many times before. I yo yo, I don't stick to it, and I make excuses for myself constantly. Not awesome. And then.. My SO and I are both…

Handshake! The way they smell, and their smile. (At first impression) After getting to know someone, voice, humor, their stance on certain topics.

Historic Tour Guide

Has rocking taste in tops (obviously)

False. I've never watched the original terminator

That's lovely, and I am aware. Think I walk home in short skirts and tops that show off half my chest? Think I bat my eyelashes at every man who walks my way? I walk home in the day light. I get rides at night. I go out in groups, I do not leave alone. I carry defensive spray now. All the "right" behaviors still don't…

I did call the police. They don't give priority to street harassment unless it becomes violent. And I agree about personal responsibility, but the factors don't excuse the behaviour. "Personal responsibility" is fine and good. It's great to be cautious. I work during the day and get home during the day. *kitten* like this…

I get that it happens more in these situations but I don't necessarily think these factors give people a Carte Blanche for their behavior.

My mom and her three friends sitting around our dining room table, smoking and drinking tea from a lovely tea set with flowers on it! Always laughing, and talking, sometimes reading out loud from magazines and taking quizzes. They'd sometimes pull us up onto their laps (my sisters and I), brush our hair, braid it over and…

I did indeed. Not to portray men. Because I didn't even mention gender. In the thread I say it's a show of hands. It happens to me a lot. If it happens to other people as much, or as little. Or if I am a minority. And I agree that men and women who behave this way are a minority. I have a wonderful fiancé and equally…

And that's totally okay too! Street harassment may not be harassment to everyone! I'm by no means saying that it is the same for everyone. My sister usually feels like it is a compliment, I haven't had that experience myself.

By harassed I don't mean a man approaching me to speak to me. There is a difference in being harassed and approached. I mean a man, or a woman, not taking no for an answer, pressing the issue, trying to touch me, follow me, shout lewd or abusive statements at me.

I would think if it felt like harassment it was. Being cat called, followed, honked at, whistled. Behaviors that are lewd and lecherous in their intent would all fall into the category I imagine.

Actually, I very clearly said it happens to both men and women. I also stated that both men and women have different preferences and have never once said that men are monsters, and everyone harasses women. In my experience I have only been harassed by men, but I have deep respect for men in general, as well as women. In…

Go fall down a hole.

Double post. My phone is annoying. Apologies all

I really enjoy how you try to spin this mans disgusting behavior and my obvious fear and revulsion in this harassment into a joke. Thanks dude. /sarcasm

I would like to move there immediately.

I live in Canada, and have visited the states. I live in a fairly small city actually. But this has happened to me while traveling in the states. Through Texas, in Georgia, both big and small places. The only place I have never been harassed on the street was Greece actually. And it's probably more prevalent than you would…

I know this feeling intimately. I've been followed home by groups of men. I've had to zip into police stations and ask for rides home because they would yell and shout, and threaten to rape me if I didn't respond to them. I've had to stay in a bakery for two hours while a man I didn't know licked and humped a window, until…

I wish I could edit my post but since I cannot. HOLY JESUS, am I ever proud to read the responses on this particular thread from the men and the women. What a breath of fresh air, especially since where I am from, people are constantly telling me that I am putting them in the friend zone, or that I am a prude or I'm crazy…

I would really suggest not thinking that you're in a "friendzone" with any person. Friend Zones DO NOT EXIST. They don't exist! The reason they don't exist is because, the idea of a Friend Zone is when you are nice and friendly, and thus suddenly GET to be in a romantic relationship with someone. Let's be clear if you are…

I happily weigh every single day, because I love the fluctuations. It gives me a great idea of how my day should go, because really, the only time it goes up for me, is it I went over calories something fierce, or ate WAY outside my macros. It helps me buckle down and go "Okay, today I have to be strong and good to…

In for 10!
