I'm so tired of getting dirty looks from men. I have tried ignoring them, telling them off, giving them dirty looks back and just walking away from it. Its because I don't look attractive but why do they care? I don't do anything wrong either which makes me even more angry. I just walk into a store and men have the most evil look on their face like I ruined their day. I want to punch them but I can't. Sometimes I walking in a parking lot to go into a store and a man will just start coughing, hacking and spitting because I walked by, to try to intimidate me...
I try to ignore it by realizing they are pathetic but it's not enough.. I am building my self esteem because I was raised without it but it's hard because I don't get a llot of support minus the crap I have to deal with on a daily basis. Men believe that if a women is beautiful, she deserves kindess and anything less deserves to be ignored or ridiculed. Maybe not for older women but young women this is true. How do I deal with it without so much anger anymore because I don't need their negativity in my life?

Are you sure it is because of you? I get dirty looks too. Many people have dirty looks without knowing it. It is their normal BRF (bitchy resting face). I don't take it personal.


I sometimes stare at people at the gym without realizing it at first because I am in gym mode and don't even see their faces.


Maybe it is all in your mind?

Sounds like you have issues, and you are seeing what you want to see...

This is not a support group, it is a message board.
If you don't want opinions, don't post.

There is no way all men are conspiring against you....
have you considered therapy?

Therapy may be a good idea. It sounds like you think everyone is mad at you. Not all men (or people) are mad at you.

This feels like a rhetorical question.

I'm not sure there is an appropriate response to be had, here.

Okay, so what do you want to hear then?


Yes, all men are bad? Poor you?


Or


What are you doing to make them look dirty to you? Are you uncombed? Smelly? Wear clothes that won't fit? Too tight? too short, belly hanging out? Bad hair cut? Wearing pajama outside the house? You are a woman, we have tons of tricks to make ourselve look okay even if we aren't blessed with the beauty gene.
