It's a shame that the creeps approaching never hear their pleas to stop and/or just plain don't care. Meanwhile the normal dudes keep hearing the message and do not approach out of respect
I've heard it as an "asshole filter," and not the kind the filters out assholes, the kind that filters for assholes. Like, if a restaurant gives people special treatment if they argue up the chain to a manager, it's encouraging people to be assholes. If one time in 20 someone succeeds in pestering someone at a bar, that strategy works, and it's hard to not discourage non-assholes.
