Creepy Guys that Don't Take a Hint

Okay, so the first link is the show and tell that I had last for the last day of class (Second creepier link is included). It remains just as creepy and sad because it seems like a collage of a lot of conversations that I have had to endure in my life time. So instead of deconstructing it as I was planning to, I'll just talk about the idea the difficulty of rejecting a really forward guy in general. This has always really bugged me and been a problem. In my experience at least, it's really hard to get a guy that is intent on getting your number to understand politely that it's just not going to happen. Maybe I'm the only one but if I entered into an interaction with someone and they politely told me 6 times to get lost, I would be out the door by the second negative remark. But it seems like for some guys the reasons that I am giving are unsatisfactory, even if I am being downright hostile, they think its some kind of game. Do this happen to anyone else? Normally I have to resort to the I have a boyfriend/fiancee/large marine husband before they even consider backing off. This is also a bit of an internal feminist battle for me. When I uses this excuse, and it works, I am relieved to feel safe again. But at the same time I feel really gross because while creepy pushy guy did not respond to 10 logical reasons why he was not getting my number, he did respond to my fake relationship excuse. So he respects a fellow male's claim to my body, more that my claim. So that sucks.

Side note, the above conversations still make me cringe so hard I think I kissed the back of my head.
