This is just fascinating. It explains to me a lot of the comments I hear when I go out with one of my friends to somewhere like the post office. I get asked (supposedly jokingly) if he's my bodyguard. I'm one of those people that was never able to learn assertiveness and so end up getting weird grabby people on me a lot (even though I'm not particularly attractive). He does a lot of those things in the video. The eye contact, he's very aware of how close people get and he doesn't hesitate to put an arm or his whole body in between me and someone getting creepy close.

Please guys, just wow, learn the little things this woman says work in this video. You'll make a lot of the women around you feel much more comfortable. It's also made me think of little things that I need to work on to protect myself when I'm alone. I always wondered why I'm the one getting creeped out all the time. I look down too much and many of the other body language queues I can see that I'm just asking for trouble.

I'm not saying it's something that happens constantly! I'm not that paranoid :) I'm just saying that it happens often enough that I've noticed it and joked about being a creep magnet and never really knew why.
