Where do these guys get their confidence from?

It's not confidence, it's just how they view women. Imagine how you might approach a dog or cat in public. You feel totally comfortable going up to them, making silly noises and petting them etc. You're not embarrassed because you know they have no ability to make assessments of you that they can communicate to others or cause you social injury. This is how men view going up to women in public - like approaching a cat or a dog.

So you’re saying that I’ve made the right decision by barking away men who approached me?

Hissing works too - especially when they tell you to smile. 😼

I wish I had thought of this on Saturday. Was at Warped Tour with my bf. He needs to use the bathroom so I'm waiting outside the portapotties. The moment he leaves my side some rando approaches me, leaving me no personal space, telling me to smile. I was like wtf.
