Now that you've lost weight, how do you deal with unwanted advances/attention?

I hesitate to ask this, as I've read that our questions are bandied all over the Internet but I haven't found an answer to this specific question. How do you deal with unwanted advances and/or attention? I vaguely remember weighing 125# over 30 years ago and how frightening it was to be "hustled". I realize that I've been hiding behind my weight to avoid addressing this fear. I've been married, perhaps just for security. I realize now that I can't tell the difference between lust and love (whatever that is). I'd appreciate the POV of everyone who replies. Thank you.
