I've gotten some comments in the past that were definitely inappropriate by middle aged women and even some cat calling by women around my own age. Not a ton, like I can count how many times on both hands, but one is too many. It can feel nice in a certain way that someone appreciates your appearance, but also really awkward and embarrassing all the same for someone to kind of single you out in public like that. Especially if you don't have a great deal of self confidence in your appearance. A majority of the comments have been made about my hair which for me being a redhead is a complex topic. It's nice to be complimented for it since it's often a point of derision but again I also really do not like having attention being drawn to it, least of all in public. The worst is when they do touch you, several times women have touched my hair while asking if its my real hair color and shit. It's highly uncomfortable and a crazy violation of personal space.
For me it's probably a lot more unwanted and stressful simply because I get people commenting on my appearance constantly. Red hair and very pale, translucent skin, results in endless comments, often incredibly rude ones despite that not being the intention, being made by family, friends and colleagues alike. So I don't really welcome any kind of comment about my appearance, positive or not.
