I mean on one hand its flattering to know I got it (especially since I've been feeling fat lately, don't ask..I'm a girl), but on the other hand...its sort of not flattering, since its not the only thing I'm looking for and I think its a bad idea, hence me turning them down. Oh and I don't dress provocatively either.

Anywho, I'm just thinking out loud and thinking about life's funnies. Anyone else find this interesting?
I am not terribly surprised. Have you looked at a magazine lately? Checked out a Victoria's Secret Catalog? The message is that young women are here for ONE reason. And that they WANT IT, why else would they look like that? It's really, terribly insulting that women are promoted as sex objects everywhere you turn. I mean yes, it's natural and all that, but after awhile it gets OLD, as you are finding out.

This is why I am happy to be middle aged and over weight. When I was young and sexy, nobody took me seriously. Now, when someone listens to me I know they are REALLY listening to me and not staring at my boobs! It's a great feeling.

Sure, a nice guy can easily get close female friends.

ya, I guess I'm not surprised either. I read cosmo every month (hey its my guilty pleasure!) and get the VS catalogs so I totally see the sex selling bit. And yep, men don't take me seriously, no matter how old they are and I don't even try to be sexy...meh.

Been plagued by that one all my life. The problem lies in wanting both.

It might be spring fever...Lol. Or maybe its just that for men, you neednt dress provacatively for us to be attracted. While you may think of 'fat' as something discouraging, that isnt necessarily how a man might see it. I might see a smartly dressed woman in office attire, thin, average or thick and be turned on by her style and poise. And it may not even be sexual. But then, thats my own way.

Well, I know I'm not one of the ones that propositioned you. I won't do that. And, I do have my reasons.

I've been through two marriages that turned out to be virtually celibate, and not at all by my choice. Today, if I don't find a woman, that's fine. If a woman wants to spend time with me, she's going to have to find a way to show me that the relationship will be anything but celibate. I will not accept that ever again. Just how she's going to do that, I don't know because I do know that a woman can demonstrate a drive for eight years, as long as it suits her, and drop it completely when it's no longer needed.

So, it wasn't me. In my case, you'll do the propositioning or I won't even give you a second look.

Well, when a young pretty girl is in display in a jewelry store, I don't find the propositions awfully surprising...

Btw, there's a girl there (in the Cache store) who looks like a doll! That's one of the most perfect real creatures I've ever seen! I've told her she should be modeling instead of wasting her time selling clothes, but she doesn't listen to me!
