What do you do, as a woman, when men stare at you to the point of making you uncomfortable? This happens to me whenever I walk through an area at work where our male production employees are. I mean the continuous, up-and-down, all-over-body-assessing stares. Yesterday a guy turned completely around in his chair as I walked through the room so he could continuously stare!! They are from different cultures; maybe they don't understand how uncomfortable it makes women in this country. I am not drop-dead gorgeous, nor ugly, and I dress very modestly. Sometimes I smile nervously - not a "come-hither" smile - but an awkward, "what the heck do you want?" smile. Is a cold, unsmiling stare back at them better? I don't want to look like a snob. Is there a polite way to stop this kind of thing?
