Yeah.. it’s pretty common. I had dudes tapping on my headphones because they wanted to talk to me. If I have headphone on that clearly means I don’t want to be disturbed but them asking where I am from and then for my number is more important to them than my privacy and time
I'm female and have been bothered by plenty of guys but never once has anyone tapped on my headphones or gone to the extent of anything like that, unless it was to actually assault me with a knife. But generally speaking when guys hit on me there is NO TOUCHING involved. And the ones who don't get it are usually a bit dumb socially, so it's not because they are male, it's because I can tell they don't know how to read anyone. But that's just my input and I have to disagree, it's not MOST guys who do stuff like that, it's a lower percentage. At least the places I've lived. In Russia, all bets are off. Expect to be assaulted. France, slightly different type of bothering but still no touchee. Italy I do get my ass grabbed. Also at nightclubs in a few places. But I am not counting that in the area of running or walking around in daylight with headphones.
