Summary at a Glance

There are several men on TikTok who are approaching women in Sydney, telling them they're 'hot' before asking for their numbers.

There's something happening on the streets and beaches of Sydney - and probably other cities around the world - that gives every encounter a young woman has with a stranger an edge of menace, writes Deputy Showbusiness Editor Savanna Young.

Sayed tells women he believes 'guys are shy' and he's 'trying to show them that they shouldn't be', encouraging young men that this is the right way to approach women.

A TikTok user named Sayed, who goes by the handle @itspolokidd, was permanently banned from the video-based app this week after being reported to NSW Police for posting his interactions with women who were unaware they were being filmed.

There's something far more unsettling happening on the streets and beaches of Sydney - and probably other cities and towns - that gives every encounter a woman has with a man she doesn't know an edge of menace.
