I've been accosted TWICE in the past two days.
It's not like I wear low cut tops or anything. Usually, I'm quite conservative in dress (mostly "corporate goth"), but I occasionally wear short skirts and my funky goth boots. The odd day I will wear something really funky, like stripey socks and GLOL style skirt. There are other women on the street dressed far more skankily than I (I dunno, maybe they are creep magnets too).
Does the all black thing make me look like a cheap hooker or something? It's something my mom often worries at me about, my style getting too much attention on the street. If push came to shove, I wouldn't be afraid to use a few self defence moves, but generally I avoid the creeps in the first place with my creep radar, or if they're unavoidable, ignore them. If they start talking to me or approach me (the guy yesterday was following me, till I raised my voice and told him to leave me alone), I will say in a *very* firm tone of voice, "Leave me alone," and that seems to work. I always keep my cell phone at the ready, and try not to walk out in dangerous areas at night.
So, fellow goth girls, tell me what you do to get rid of creeps on the street.
Arrrrrgh!!!

I don't dress very much like a Goth at all, nor do I wear "skimpy clothing" -- to the contrary, I'm almost always in jeans.
Yet a bunch of older creepy men still try & pick me up when I'm out places (unless I'm with my boyfriend, then they stay away smile )
If their comments are solely verbal -- regardless of whether they are subtly trying to charm me or blatantly asking me explicit sexual questions or explicitly commenting on my apperance & such -- I act shy, very reserved & disinterested, & polite. No matter what they are saying to me, I will respond calmly, keep a reserved & disinterested manner of speech, & think of an excuse to exit the situation as soon as possible (& be forceful in regards to the reason why I have to leave).
Whenever anybody starts to do anything that goes outside the realm of solely verbal exchange, such as try and pull me & my stuff in a certain direction after I declined to go with them, I'll be very straightforward, clear, forceful, & loud. Thankfully, these types of things usually happen in public places, so people get scared by somebody telling them in a loud & forceful manner to let go of them.

Frequently, again, mostly by drunken people.
I was casually walking down the street out in town with my friend when some random guy runs from across the road (coming straight out of a pub rolleyes ) and shouts at me
"Hey! You! Yeah, the goth, you're like...the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, wanna go out with me?"
......to which I replied "sorry, I like my men tall, goth and hot. You meet precisely none of those requirements. Goodday"
I seriously hate those type of guys, as if just by complimenting me I'm going to fall at his feet and become completely in love with him stare
I also am a nutter magnet.
Again while in the city, with friends, one was talking about a dream she'd had, some random guy appears (seemingly) out of no-where asking "was it about me?"....the guy had 'insane' tattooed across his forehead.
Being the good friend that I am...I scarpered, leaving my poor dear friend alone to deal with the nutter. I paid for it though, he started following me eek when he caught up me he stepoped up real close and told me "ah, you can't get away from me, I'm in your mind" eek eek
I nearly had a heart-attack. though, I must compliment him, he had the perfect kind of crazy that has to be commended for it'sd ability to freak people out. I did wonder if he was just doing it for kicks, like I would do xd
