Seriously, I'm so over the creepy guys coming up and talking to me or leering at me. I've dealt with it as long as I've had boobs, and I'm irritated. Does this happen to everyone or am I just hyper-sensitive to it? Ugh, for instance, last night I'm on the last bit of a 6 mile run...some creepy older guy rides up beside me on his bike and strikes up a weird conversation. Dude, I've got my iPod on and I'm running....what about that scenario suggests I want to have a conversation? He was giving off that creepy vibe too. I didn't even really want to go home, lest he see where I live. I just kinda ran onto my street and kept running till he couldn't see which house I was going to. Why should I have to do that though? It makes me so mad. It's not like I'm God's gift to men...
My hubby just bought me pepper spray the other day. I think I'm going to start carrying it every time I go running or walking now...just to be on the safe side. I haven't told him about the incident last night since he gets all uptight about me running solo anyway (hence the pepper spray). Does anyone else feel this way? Am I just over-reacting? I would love to hear feedback on this topic.

I hear ya. Lately I've been getting the creepy vibe too. I'm not sure if it's because I've lost weight and look different or if I just have that nice girl aura about me and draw the freaks in. Or if it's because there are so many lonely sailors on this base that are looking for some sort of attention. In the last week I've had 2 unwanted encounters while Brandon wasn't with me, and I've gotta say it is a freaky feeling. Like you, I have no idea what to do about it. Thinking about taking some self defense classes or something, just in case.
It happens alot! Guys are just so sexually driven, I hate to say it plainly but there all just horny horny guys. I think it's that simple :o)
Just make sure you change your path everyday so that someone doesn't know that they can expect you at certain times. It just stinks that you have to think that way and that we have to take things to defend ourselves.
