I really thought it would have stopped before I turned thirty! I've only got about 4 months to go, dammit!
Ugh. The worst one was back when I had a boyfriend, and this guy actually grabbed my bag from me-- not to steal it, but to SHOW WHAT A GENTLEMAN HE WAS. And then got down on his knees and told me he was so lonely. Usually they just try to get your attention a few times.
A couple times, I've had guys sincerely try to pick me up. And they're always like "you look like such an interesting person. Seriously? I dress pretty ordinarily. There is nothing interesting about me to the naked eye except my hair and my tits. If I were wearing weirdass clothes I would kind of understand it, but mostly I wear jeans and a leather jacket, which is standard NYC fare. They don't think I look "interesting." One time-- once I gave a guy who randomly tried to pick me up a chance. I told him that I would consider seeing him again if he was willing to correspond over email for a few weeks first. He was like,"but I hate email!" I was like, sorry, no dice. I had the same problem with online dating. I've told BOTH guys and girls that I wanted to get to know them online first and I've had a couple freak out and send me passive-aggressive attacky emails about how I'm just trying to blow them off. And at that point, um, yeah, I'm gonna blow them off. None of them ever make it past one IM conversation before trying to set up a date.
