Too Naive! And MEN!

At least you know where you stand with said man; I'm sure there's women who do the same thing (there are -- been there).

The ones who draw you in with the facade and its false face are the ones that hurt the most.

My experiences in Walmarts in this country are different, it is all business, people are serious about the buying of stuff here. I have only had a person ever speak to me in a walmart one time and I don't know if she was flirting or just making idle chat about the fact that she had "the same mouse at work and it works great", I assumed the latter.

People seem to be more chatty in grocery stores though...

this reminded me of an incident:

was on a bus, and a blind man (i'm assuming so, he was using a cane and wearing sunglasses) boarded. a few minutes into the ride he started asking for help, and since the bus was close to empty and i was closest to him, i asked him what he needed. he said he needed to know if the bus was nearing his stop, which was one stop away from the terminus.

i told him i would let him know when to alight, he asked if i would escort him to the exit door before we reached his stop. this made me uncomfortable, i have had little experience with blind people, and having to come into contact with a total stranger made the situation worse. he reached out for me and gripped my elbow (i had prior to this incident read that blind people prefer to hold on to their guides, so i thought nothing of this). i walked him to the exit door and stood there with him, sweating buckets all this while.

meanwhile he started asking me if i were schooling, etc. and started leaning closer. i gave him one word answers, mentally egging the bus to move faster. i informed him just a few meters away from his stop (which was my stop as well) that it was time for us to alight. he leaned in really close and whispered "thank you very much miss" and to my horror, he used his fingers to stroke the side of my breast.

i know this to not be an accident, as i had attempted to keep my elbow as far from my body as possible, so having him push toward me and molest me would be a deliberate action.

we alighted and i could not move fast enough away from him. i practically bolted off as he shouted after me words of thanks. i do not know if it was just in my mind, but his words seemed a little 'cheeky' at that point. i cried for the rest of my walk + journey home that night.

to this day, i do not give men of any age the benefit of doubt when they ask me for help. i just walk away as fast as i can. so perhaps it's not just us being naive, but that there will always be scum disguised as people. i would probably help men who's obviously in need of it, but if it required for me to be within close proximity of him, no way.

on a side note,

do you think it's because we tend to go out alone? i do go to the library frequently, run errands/groceries and such alone. i -always- have a book with me, as my logic tells me if i appear to be engaged in a very interesting read, nobody would interrupt me. this logic of course fails somehow, or maybe because i tend to sit away from crowds, that makes it easier for ppl to single me out.

i'm unsure of the frequency at which people get approached, be it to be asked for the time, directions etc., but i feel that almost every single time i go out (which is not frequently at all) i get accosted by all kinds of 'lost' people. LOL.

maybe this has been discussed before but i haven't read through all of WP's posts yet.

I understand how you must have felt, Graelwyn! Once, I was waiting at a bus stop, and an elderly man came over and sat on the opposite bench. He kept staring at me, so I started to nervously babble. About what a nice day it was, and commenting on some construction work going on at an apartment building across the street. Suddenly, he said, "I'm looking for a wife!" And leered. I replied, "Well, I'm not looking for a husband!" He got upset, and walked away, muttering, "That takes care of that!"

Yeah, that happens to me, too, LOL.

I'm so sorry you had this experience.
