Maybe if you stopped dressing like a hooker the harassment might abate.

My only advice would be to be very clear and firm each time you're approached, and try to avoid the areas/times you are most approached (which I'm sure is obvious and you're already doing).
Yes, there's a need for proof of this all things considered as it sounds a bit exaggerated. If you are approached by 8-10 a day that's over a 1000 in a three month period and rarely any of them are in her league? That ratio is steep and so yeah, one would have to ask the OP to evaluate herself. In addition one would also need to know what the OP considers to be harassment. A bunch of guys whisteling on the street or someone walking up to a little to enthusiastic - What? I'm not clear on her understand of what constitutes harassment

Exactly. I didn't want to say it, but I guess it could be out of jealousy.

When I say NO, and they are still pursuing, then that is harassment.

So when someone gets dolled up they automatically look like a hooker. WOW! I guess female chavinist pigs do exist.

Firstly I am a woman.

Secondly you are the one claiming you like to get dolled up...and you are the one claiming you get approached by multiple men and some of these men even touch you.

Can you put 2 and 2 together?

You need to take another look at your comment and realize how offensive it was. So, I shouldn't wear makeup or heels because men are approaching me?
Secondly, my skirt is never too short or tight and I rarely show cleavage.
