Safe from Men

Where can a woman go to be safe from unwanted attention from men?

I imagine men seeing me walking on Anaheim Street, to or from library branch, may presume: prostitute. I started taking notice to street walkers, pun intended on Anaheim. Most of the females are in groups or pushing baby strollers. More single men walkers than females. Which is why the men pick on me, maybe.

Go to beach, park, around the block to grocery store or mass market drug stores, 7/11, McDonalds, Mini-Mart, laundromat, restaurant/movie ~ when I could still afford to treat myself ~ some man seems to think I am in dire need of his company.

My old joke was "Being a sex object, at my age, and with this body is a tough job, but somebody has to do it." I was 50 then ~ would think now, the unwanted advances would stop ~ especially since street living aged me ~ phyisically, spiritually, mentally ~ and gum disease advanced so far, can not wear partial. Not exactly attractive. Maybe that is the reason I get hit upon so often.

Which comes first? Neighbor from hell or man at library?
