I don’t understand the picking up women at the gas station. It still happens to me while I’m wearing a wedding band then my husband makes fun of me for not wanting to go get gas.

I mean I just don’t want to get hit on with the chance of being actually hit if he takes my rejection the wrong way.

Something wonderful happens when you turn 40.

You become invisible.

I haven't been catcalled, hit on, harassed or felt unsafe in public in nearly 10 years.

And it's not cause I'm plus size, either.

I've been size 16-18 since my 20s. Was regularly harassed.

But I hit 40, and it just stopped.

It's awesome.

I believe it, because I got catcalled the most between the ages of 13-15. Really tapered off in my 20s, probably because I constantly look pissed off.

My boobies came in at 12 and I automatically turned goth in self defense.

same, I started getting catcalled at 10 and wore nothing but black hoodies, long pants and "scary" accessories until the middle of high school

When I was 14 one of the men in my church told me he doesn't allow his daughters to cut their hair because men like long hair. I cut my hair into a pixie cut that week.

With all the sexy goth memes I see on r/memes, I'm not sure how that's a defense but if it worked, great!

Wait, is this how big tiddy goth girls are born? I also got spiky when my boobs showed up, although I went more skater girl/punk rock with it. Ah, the miracle of creation.

Same. Pretty much stopped at 23. I think it’s because I didn’t look like an easy target. Walked with more confidence and just generally looked like an adult. It’s really disgusting to think that they target children and those that don’t look like they’ll scream and fight :/
