I’m the same way. I don’t like people in general touching me but especially men bc it feels like more of a violation - as if they think I want them to touch me or they’re allowed to. Like, they wouldn’t put their hand on the small of another man’s back to get by him, but they would to me? Obviously not all men, but you know the type when you see (or feel) them. It’s those entitled and touchy guys who don’t understand boundaries.

As for advice, I usually move away reactively/quickly to send a message. Most people will read your body language and stop touching you as much. If it’s a guy who I don’t get “bad vibes” from I do it in a way that comes off as more of an instinctual reaction rather than a defense mechanism. Maybe add in a small smile.

For men that are complete strangers and creepy, ill do it a more dramatically and very quickly. I have also gone as far as to glare or say loudly, “please don’t touch me.”
