I've been avoiding that thread like the plague because it's a ban trap and just inherently stupid as hell, but those posts are literally some of the worst things I've seen on here.

It's bad to wear the same bra every day anyway. The oils in your skin will mess it up.

You can do it yourself, just check the placement of the tape measure in the mirror.

Have you ever been professionally fitted? You might want to look into it; they can find you a style and shape that works with your body and makes you feel the most comfortable.

As long as it's the flexible kind rather than the one that can be stiffened.

How many times do you girls get harassed a week? I've been street-harassed twice this week. One wearing a denim dress, the other wearing a short denim skirt. I'm in college at the moment, and the two dudes were in cars; they yelled at me as they drove by.

Lately, not so much. When I worked at Game Stop a few years ago, it happened several times a week.

Not sure of average numbers in a week, but it depends on the week. If I'm going out, the number is pretty high : < but in a usual week, I drive to and from work, and that really drives down the likelihood of running into exuberant strangers.
Weekends is a different creature though. I'd say around 2-3 each day on Saturdays / Sundays, but only 1-2 times for the whole working week.
Rarely, since I got a car. When I had to walk everywhere a few years back, it happened once or twice a week. At first, I was a bit flattered. I hadn't been called pretty much. Then it got really bad to the point I hated going outside. There was this one older guy who would park in an area I walked frequently and keep asking if I wanted a ride even though I repeatedly told him no. :/
Girl sorry that happens to you.
I guess I'm lucky lol. I've never been harassed and never will be. I am unharrassable

Not that much lately but it's been raining. The worst was being wolf whistled by someone while I was home alone at the window.

Honestly it doesn't even bother me anymore. If I'm with people, yeah I'm going to have an issue with it. But if it's just me, I can ignore them easily enough.

I got honked at for the first time in years yesterday when I was out jogging. Hard to feel flattered when I don't look good at all right now :lol
Then I got yelled tonight after almost getting into bad accident which would have been completely the other guy's fault. Feel like such a girly girl for crying after I drove away

Since moving to where I live now, rarely. Maybe once a month? The neighborhood I grew up in didn't have creeps, but it was filled with scummy Arab/Yemeni guys who liked to harass Muslim women that didn't dress "appropriate" enough to their taste. They're literally the only people who bother me when I'm outside.
It's amazing that when I'm not in Muslim dress I don't attract any attention in the streets at all. It was only when I visited Philly that I got street harassed a lot when I was wearing short skirts and tank tops, and that was suppperrrr creepy haha.

The only time I feel harassed (rather than complimented or flattered) is from old men.
Zoe

Thanks. I just wish I could get angry and fight (defend) for myself without crying after. It wasn't the near-accident, it was the jerk trying to blame me.
Zoe

Just the typical big brother fights, usually ending with me crying.

Rarely, fortunately.
I'm exactly the same, anger is just an instant trigger to tears. Then I get angry because I'm crying.
That said I wouldn't worry about it, you had a bit of a shock, then to be yelled at for it wasn't a nice position to be in. It's frustrating but it doesn't make you weak or "a girly girl".
And I tought I was the only person who wants to cry when hearing loud noises and fireworks.

:/ Sorry for the shitty experiences. Don't the tears drive you nuts? They never used to happen to me, but lately with tense or frustrating experiences they just happen and completely undermine what I'm trying to do. And then you feel like such a girly-girl, as you said. Ugh. -_-
Really? Guys driving by shouting stuff like, "I'd fuck that!" or any of the other sexual crap they tend to spout from the safety of the other side of the street/car feels like a compliment?
Not alone.
As a kid it was always 'she'll get over it'. Got taken to all sorts of horrifying events/places as a kid; circus, amusement parks, sports games, medieval times etc. Didn't like birthday parties because kids would pop balloons in my ears. Can't handle thunder storms and 4th of July is hell.The Librarian

I'm curious too. The comment was weird to me.

People actually say that? Damn. People are weird.
Huh, I didn't even know there was a GirlGaf but glad to see there is. On the topic of harassment, I get it a lot at work. It's usually from older men but god some of the comments are just creepy.
A month ago I was selling an office chair to this older man and he was sitting in it to test it out and he starts saying "I feel like a boss right now. You can be my employee" in a gross seductive way. I just laughed it off but felt really uncomfortable.

Hi Wazzy!
How's life?

It's a cool little space.
I remember this guy slow rolled past and asked if I liked big dicks...Also I've been flashed.

:lol a dollar? DA Fuck. I think weirdest from my friend was some dude in the gym said he had some shampoo she should try when they shower after the work out. She had never seen him before when he said that. Awkward.

One time this dude who smelled like a barn (he was absolutely filthy and I'm sure never showered) and no teeth asked me to go out to dinner with him once while I was working. He was at least more than twice my age.

That's the least of what guys will say or do. I recounted some of my more aggressive and scary run ins with guys already, but those are rare. It's the shouters and slow rollers wagging their dicks out the window that make me want to brain fry men. :/
Haha. I didn't even know you were a girl until the RP thread back in Jan. There seem to be a few new juniors who are ladies as well. Always good to have more.
As for harassment stuff, eeeeeewwwww for that old dude at your work. That's so gross.
I used to get nasty stuff working E3 or the GameStop show, but to have to deal with it everyday? My condolences.
Charming. :/
My aunt gave me the best advice for that when I was a teen. The gist of what she said was, "It's going to happen at least once in your life, so when the dude whips it out, take a good look... and then laugh a lot. And point. Make 'tiny dick' gestures if you feel really bold. Rain on that shit head's parade as much as you can." Words of wisdom.
I gave similar advice to my younger relatives. Laugh loudly and bring other peoples attention to it (while walking away). Make a big scene out of it basically.
Sucks that I even have to say anything, but it's bound to happen at least once like your aunt said. Also groping too.

This thread must be putting out vibes. Just got yelled at from a car. Nothing mean but like dude, come on, and while I'm walking away from the store.

It was. Walked past my own abode before he sped off.
I had this older guy who would always sit opposite to me on the bus. He would always clench his knees around one of mine and then start rubbing it with them. It got more intense till we came to his stop. Every time. It was so scary and awkward but I really didn't know what to do.
