Honestly, if you don't like the attention and want a guy to never talk to you again, simply say: "Earlier today I gambled on a fart... and lost." He'll stop talking to you instantly. Situation handled.
You just killed any level of attraction I ever felt for ya. This works!

Oh man....that reminds me of a guy who was following me on the street letting me know how nice my legs and boobs were in a very lewd manner so I turned to him and said 'Ya know, I have REALLLLY bad diarrhea right now and if I don't get home I'm afraid I'm going to **** my pants' and you know what he said??? 'Girl, my house is probably closer than yours'

So, that may not always work.

Just helping the gorgeous souls on this forum who are experiencing the harrowing ordeal of having to fight guys off in droves on a regular basis.

Oh my goodness...yes.

I'm extremely attractive and I find it very annoying when men hit on me.

Bwahahahaaha...sorry. Couldn't resist.

If it happens again, make him think that the deed has already been done, if you follow my drift...

Sounds like you haven't run into the super aggressive ones.

It isn't that big of a deal to ignore Mr. "Are your legs tired, you have been running through my mind all day."

But Mr. "I am still following you even though you brushed me off 3 blocks ago." or Mr. "Curse you out because you said no." Or Mr. "Even though I don't know you, I am going to invade your person by grabbing your hand or arm or somewhere else."

Not so easy. And frankly, scary.

It hasn't happened since, but I have a feeling if that guy was going to offer me his restroom, he'd probably offer me a shower and change of clothes *shudder*

First, a woman doesn't have to be in the "top 10%" to get approached all the time. When I lived in DC, we had a huge problem with street harrasment, especially in the summer. If you were identifiable as female, you were targeted. It was really irritating and sometimes I hated leaving the house to run to the corner grocery. It was disrespectful and incredibly sexist.

Now, if I am standing in line at Starbucks and someone starts to chat with me, I don't mind at all. Sometimes, men are just friendly, but often I know that an attempt at getting a number is coming. I try to be unfailingly polite to people though there are days when I just don't want to deal with it. I pull out the Ipod when that happens, smile vaguely and pretend I can't hear anything but music. I have had guys tap me on the shoulder to try and make conversation. I will take my earbuds out, and because I think this is incredibly pushy, I will respond to one question and say "you know, I am really enjoying this music. I am going to go back to listening to it. It was nice to meet you."

Certain times, people get aggressive. I was walking through my neighborhood once and a guy came up with a "can I talk to you?" line. I said, "sorry, I am in a hurry." and he just kept following and barraging me with questions. When I said "I am married" (which was untrue) he said " i don't see your ring." I told him firmly to leave me alone, and that I wasn't interested, walked faster and got my phone ready to dial. He got the picture, but really, does it have to come to that? Why pursue someone in conversation who is actively trying to get away from you? Are there really people out there who like this?
There was a woman on another forum I frequent and she used to have a blog detailing her being harassed in DC and even had videos and photos so it sounds like a widespread problem there.

Trust me, I've run into all kinds but I can be an enormous bit*h and that usually gets rid of them. They're probably scared that if they continue to bother me I'll stab them with my stiletto or something.
