I had some kind of stalker for almost three years, and he's 10 years older than me. That's not VERY much, I know, but really enough. He kept on coming to the club he knew I visited regularely, running after me and trying to get into a conversation (*), plus I was plastered with stupid e-mails. I mean, this guy is way taller than me, fat, a pseudo evilevil wiking metaller, long-haired and sweaty - you get the idea - and he writes like a gay fairy! >__________<
But luckily I have my bestbuddie, he's always there for me to... ahm... make the annoying men just wanna leave.
(*) Like once I switched rooms of the club to talk to a friend when a HUUUUUGE hand not padded but smashed my shoulder. Turning aroung, my thoughts were like OMFG, A TROLL!!! when his face was suddenly about 30 cm away from mine. He growled something like "hi!" and I was like "Yeah, bye!" and just left. xD
Oh, and once there was this creepy 40+ goth guy with this stupid stake and hat who bothered me while I waited for my coffee. I didn't even react to him but he kept brabbling bullshit. Then - daddaaa - my knight in shiny armour appeared and told the creep to shut the fuck up. ^____^
The same guy wrote his phone number on a piece of paper later the evening and pushed it into the dekoletée of a 16 year old! I was near to ripping his head off!!!
So, male friends AND BROTHERS (!!!) are GREAT to keep these freaks off.
@ Roxanne: Holy crap, I would have freaked completely. And I guess I would have started to insult the creep veeery harshly. xD
