Welcome to the fun side of womanity. Most men simply have no idea of how they come across--and some do and cultivate the intimidation. This guy could have gone either way.
Living as a woman, I was hooted at, hit on, or treated as a sex object at parties, in a crowded lecture hall by a fellow student, at work by fellow employees and visiting strangers, at automotive repair facilities, at a job interview by my would-be boss, in my own car when I agreed to drive home a coworker's cousin, at a gas station at ten p.m. while I was wearing a heavy ranch coat, and on random street corners. Once, a man asked my then-boyfriend how much I cost. He was persistent and hung around for quite some time. If I had been alone, I would have been petrified. As it was, I was pretty damn scared.
Looking back, I see that I was "cute" but not conventionally attractive. I did have a good body, freckles (some men like them), nice blond hair, and a great chest. Truly good-looking women get it ten times worse. Watch yourself.
