I mean, the amount of times random blokes have said to me (always when I am alone, never with other people) 'smile love' and **** like 'nice tits' along with stuff like...if I am reading on a train, coming to ask what I am reading to try to strike up a conversation. I am like I am reading, leave me the **** alone, then I get 'was only being nice, bitch' and such. 'Compliments' always turn into insults when you make clear you are not interested.

Its just relentless, and how some blokes seem to see it as a good thing I will never know.

Ah come one, "nice tits" might be out of order but "what are you reading"?? You obviously are coming across as a bit of a bitch if you tell people to **** off for asking that. And if they're telling to smile maybe you have a resting bitch face?
