I use my unattractiveness to protect other girls

I'm not objectively ugly, just charmless and average enough to go by unnoticed most of the time.

Whenever I'm on the subway and I notice some guy agressively checking out a pretty girl or staring at them creeply, I shield her with my plain figure and block their vision. I'm taller than most girls, so I usually provide enough cover for them.

Today, a guy CHANGED seats just to keep checking out a girl's ass after she moved away from him. I stood between them and saw he trying to circle around to get a better vision, but guess what? I can move too, asshole. I even got out on the same station as her to make sure the guy couldn't take a single last look at her.

Sometimes I feel good about doing it, but mostly I feel enraged that women have to put up with this crap everyday.

Edit: just to clarify, I'm a girl. Averagedit: thank you, kind strangers, for the gold and silver! I also want to assure you all I don't find myself ugly, I'm ok with being average looking. I have attractive qualities, they are just not in plain sight haha.
