Is it true that if you're above average looking and female, your life is pretty much hell due to being forced to experience a lot of harassment and near-rape scenarios? Or is this somewhat exaggerated? I've known some female friends who complain they don't get enough attention from the opposite sex, and they're not ugly either.
Depends on the degree of "harassment". Cat-calls, groping, and propositions are frowned upon. An appreciative look or some harmless flirting is fine, and quite flattering.
I wouldn't say that. I would say that if you live in a big walking city - you are probably going to get a lot of catcalls and men stopping you - which can be annoying. But actual harassment and "near-rape" experiences have nothing to do with how attractive you are.
Near-rape, not at all, but the level of harassment depends on the woman's lifestyle. If she's out and about more often--she goes to nightclubs, she rides the bus, she walks down crowded city streets, she works in a customer service job, etc.--then she's more likely to get unwelcome attention because she deals with more people on a daily basis. A woman who's a homebody who drives her own car to work or works in a small office may never be harassed or catcalled or propositioned in her life.
Harassment and near rape? Depends on your definition of harassment, and a big no to the near rape thing. Whistles, cat-calls or leering looks? Yeah, quite a bit. It's one of the draw-backs (perks?) of being female. Meaning appreciation is nice, someone looking at you like your a piece of meat, not so much.
