Jeez, SF, you take this place too seriously man....
By the sounds of it Big AL is lucky these woman didn't have instant gun access or he'd never made this post.This was my first thought, but maybe he actually encounterd loons far more frequently.
There have been times where I have walked in the same direction as people, and no one ever called me a creep or asshole. I just asked two friends if this stuff ever happened to them. Their answers "nope."
Maybe you were flirting. Maybe they were picking up on unconscious things that you were not even aware of doing. Interesting, I, and many other people have never had these experiences.Must be something you're doing. You must be giving off some sort of vibe that people are reacting too.
And? Before today, that has never happened to me, either. The point of me posting the story was because it was unusual. I specifically said women that I didn't find attractive. The much more logical assumption is that they were just seeing what they want to see.

Hate to tell ya, but life isn't so binary that any experience you haven't had means that there's only one reason someone else might have it.
Stop stealing the lines that I have said to you, Ritch.
Almost every guy I know here in the city- black, white and even asian- has walked behind a woman and experienced her stopping to purposely let him pass. When I told this story at work, all of the guys just said women in this city are so full of themselves and the women said that they have to be. It wasn't even a question of whether or not it happens or whether these women are loons or even whether the guys are behaving in an objectively creepy way. I'm not sure if you understood the original post, but I did not say I've been yelled at by a woman for allegedly following her before, just that I've noticed women walking ahead of me then acting as if they thought I was following them. Do you live in a city? Walking more than a block is not as common in some places, but it's something almost everyone does in NYC.
Walking down the street on my way to lunch. An attractive but unremarkable woman is walking in front of me. We both walk down the same avenue in the east 30s then turn west on 32nd. At this point, the woman turns around and yells "Are you going to follow me for the rest of the day?!" I said "Ms, you need to get a grip. I haven't been following you for any part of the day." Then she goes "What a creep. I am going to post your pic on instagram. Why don't you follow me there, asshole!" Then she acts like she's searching for her phone. I don't know if she took my picture. This is not the first time a woman has convinced herself I was following her, but it is the most hysterical reaction. There's this Anziz Ansari comedy special on netflix and there's this bit about how every woman in the audience has been followed by a guy. I don't doubt that this is something women have to put up with, but I also feel like it's something that a lot of women imagine (flatter themselves?)
you sound like the ugly fuk that goes and sits right next to the hot girl when there are numerous seats un-occupied, or uses the treadmill right next to the hottie when the gym is empty...its so obvious to everyone except you!!
I wasn't attacking you bro, I literally meant I've never had a woman ask if I was following them in an offensive manner, my mistake, I misunderstood.I know for a fact people (men and women) were uncomfortable that we ended up on the same path for an extended period, and I would make light of it saying something along the lines of this is awkward, or I'd try to get ahead of them and pass. I've also encountered mentally deranged women and men who would yell at me as I was walking towards them as if I had met them before.
Two goldfish are swimming in a bowl, and one goldfish turns to the other goldfish and says, "How's the water?" The goldfish replies, "What water?"
That previous post was just a ridiculous argument, bro. I don't know when I'm flirting? In a thread where I'm being accused of stalking a woman because we walked in the same direction for two blocks. If I was actually stalking her, would it make sense to blame it on her giving off unconscious vibes that she wasn't even aware of?
I was referring to the women who say you are flirting. Not the incident where the girl basically called you a creepy stalker.Its an intersubjective dance between subjective minds.
Yes, I know what you were referring to. I was highlighting how a bad argument becomes glaringly stupid in a slightly different context.
You're free to think that, Al. I disagree.
