I’m a 39F currently traveling solo in Malaysia, and I’ve noticed something that’s been building up over multiple trips.
Across different countries, my negative experiences while traveling have almost always involved men—things like openly burping or farting in public, spitting or blowing their nose on the street, staring/ogling, catcalling, or generally being rude toward women.
While I already had some frustration in this area before, this recent trip has intensified that feeling quite a bit. I find myself increasingly put off to the point where I’m questioning my own feelings toward men altogether and even wondering if I might be asexual.
I’m curious if anyone else has experienced something similar after solo travel, where repeated negative interactions in different places start to shift your overall perception or emotional response.
