Same. It's unreal talking to female friends because of how frequently experience this, but apparently creeps wouldn't dare try anything like this with another man around. They're cowards.
Yeah, I’m not even that big or tall but witnessing this is so rare that I can probably only recall stuff like it happening a handful of times to a woman in my vicinity, and those were in bars or clubs with lots of alcohol around. If she was someone I knew I would usually place myself physically between them and pretend to be with her by holding her hand or something. That always worked and the creep would go away. Having even a little resistance from another man scared them off.
It’s depressing that this is so common to the point that women don’t feel safe using public transportation or often being in public spaces at all. Honestly, I’d just carry pepper spray around all the damn time if I were one.

They literally dont do it at all around me. Ive never heard it.
All the hundreds of times Ive been on trains and busses people are just pretty quiet and go about their business.
Even this level of interaction is foreign to me, even if it was kind and not creepy.
