eta- this has only happened once ive got older, over 35. I was a plain child...
It just happened to me 5 minutes ago on my way to the train. It will be interesting to see what happens as I get older. I am headed into my 35 year.

Yesterday a woman came up and said I love your outfit!

So she actually thinks she's attractive. Now what is it to some of you people?
My response to this is this:

No. Disagree. I've been approached when I was thin, approached when I was average, and approached when I was thicker. Plenty of guys date skinny girls.

One of the best compliments I can remember, a woman came up to me at the club and said

"I love your LOOK".

New on CD or the Relationships board? I joined in September of 2011 while you joined in February of this year. Your concept of new is pretty...interesting.

So I did a quick 1 minute skim reading of her earlier threads...

I'm 5'4, not model skinny and definitely not a natural blonde. Makes me wonder if I should even bother applying at places where no one looks like me (even though I feel I've gotten way lucky in the past with that).

Of course, the places with the most diverse waitstaff are places where no one makes any money. Frustrating.

Meanwhile our mutual friend and I (who he also whines to) are busting our asses just trying to pay our rent. We discuss this all the time. He takes 8K vacations and complains about how broke he is when he comes back. He will lose 20K in the stock market and sit in Penn Station crying (LITERALLY), asking me how he can afford his next drink. He permanently damaged his relationship with our mutual friend because she owed him 100 bucks (!) after her wallet got stolen and it took her 3 weeks to pay him back, and he wouldn't stop hounding her. Meanwhile he was bragging to her about taking girls on 2K dinners. Does he not understand how galling that is?

Should I outrightly tell him this behavior is really putting me off? Because I've hinted but I think I need to be more direct.

This person, as well as myself, works for a company whose image is typically associated with the blond-haired, blue-eyed sort of female, but I didn't enter that territory. So I googled it and there are all these sites in which people are accusing black women with weaves and colored contacts with being self-hating or ashamed of their "blackness"...
I fail to see the alleged narcissism that she's accused having. But hey, I don't pay as much attention to the "attention hog" as you do. So what do I know.

Many of the guys I know can spot a boob job a mile away, and because of that, won't come closer. Maybe you look like 'high maintenance' or sound like it as soon as you start talking. You sound like you have a pretty high opinion of yourself, that can be a turn off for most guys.

I get a lot of lewd and borderline harassment comments, does that count?

I think you've hit the nail on the head here with one word....ATTITUDE.

OP you can be as gorgeous as Rihanna, but if your attitude is chitty, you may as well be in a paper bag.

We all know from your other posts that you lack manners or modesty. It probably shows.

Now someones gonna say I'm being MEAN. I'm not a cheerleader for body modification in otherwise lovely looking young ladies. She has unfortunately fallen hook line and sinker for American society's ridiculous worship of the Barbie doll.
You used a very very lightskinned (and mixed race) woman as an example of someone that is gorgeous

anyway, society is much harsher on black women. and I am not surprised someone called the OP out for her hair not being real. as a black woman you can just NEVER win. if you wear weave you are being fake and then if you wear your hair natural its considered inappropriate. the only way they will be satisfied is if you are a white woman with naturally long hair.
