No one likes to get lured at. I started to confront men who do. If they just keep staring after I've stared them in the face and asked "what" I've walked up to them and asked "what? what is it? Do I know you?" Most of the time they just say no and turn away. One guy called me crazy and stormed off.

There's people watching and then there's infringing on personal space with your gaze. It's not that subtle of a difference.
