If the guys that comment on you are your friends tell them to stop, but if they're just people around your university it's impossible to get them to stop. Just ignore them. I usually can't help to smile when guys say stuff like that to me.


If guys keep making unwanted comments about your butt, legs, chest etc isn't that sexual harrassment & something NOT to be ignored? Then again, I may be getting this wrong.

If it was sexual harassment then would every construction worker be taken to court?
It depends how they are saying these comments. If it's when you just pass them I'd just ignore it. Guys say stuff like that a lot. If they are your friends tell them to stop, and if they don't then stop hanging around them.

I didn't know that construction workers did that a lot.

Anyway, maybe I was wrong. It was just an idea because apparently stuff like that in the workplace is sexual harrassment.

Your mom is right. Almost any male who makes favorable comments about specific body parts - as opposed to general comments like, "you look sharp today" - is probably fantasizing about getting into bed with you.

Sorry if that's too much information.


Trust me, that's not too much info (I'm in college & b/c of perverted/stupid friends I've heard much worse).
