Perhaps it was the late hour of the night yesterday (Wednesday) that caused Tikva Gideon to share with her 183,000 followers on the Instagram social network a personal and unpleasant situation that she experienced several times when she met an older man on the street, who she said sought contact with her, and she felt that his motives were not innocent.

"I didn't plan to share this, I just wanted to share with you something that happened to me today," said Gideon at the beginning of her words.
"There is an old man who is so nice, but not innocent. Do you know when you recognize the touch of someone who is a bit deviant?", she asked her viewers.
"So when it's someone older, it's a little more problematic. Because it's not that pleasant.
"In short, I saw him today, after a few days when I really didn't see him, luckily. He came to hug me, and he always says 'hello' to me, there's something unpleasant about him," she explained.
"So I told him, 'Do you hear? Don't hug me. It's less pleasant for me,' and then he said, 'What? I just want to say hello,'" she quoted from the dialogue the two had.
"Then he asked me for my phone number and I told him, 'No, I'm not interested,' and then he told me, 'Just talk,' and I told him, 'No, I'm not interested,'" she continued to tell.
"And I'm talking to you about an eighty-year-old man," she emphasized.
"In short, from that moment I constantly think that maybe I insulted him, maybe I hurt him, but I know how to tell the difference," she replied, sharing her bad feelings about him.
"Sexual harassment is not the story," she clarified.
"I don't know how to explain it to you. It's an unpleasant touch. And he constantly strives for touch, and for the first time I put him in place and I felt good that I put him in place at that moment," she shared.
"But then I came home and said 'Wow, why do I feel uncomfortable and not him?'"

Minutes later, Gideon shared an empathetic response she received from a friend who experienced a similar case.
"I understand you so much. I had someone who worked with me, with whom I had the same feeling, but because he's older, so it's not pleasant. In the end, I put him in his place, and I felt terrible, but it stopped. And most importantly, that we feel comfortable with ourselves," it was written .
"Sending you a hug," Gideon replied.
