Or in the CIA. Hold on to your ear and say,"Yes bald eagle we have a cat and mouse in the foiler, do you have a clean shot?"
Then look up at tall buildings.

  • If I was your boyfriend I'd never leave your side
  • There is no rule saying you can't have another one
Being on the phone gives off a very clear signal.
I've heard the bolded ones several times. Definitely not a turn-on.

I know there have been conversations in other threads about the label "creepy", but for me, creepy is when there is an element of fear involved, and for women, that potential is very real, it's in the back of our minds regularly in the type of situation described in the OP. It's not just a guy making advances that aren't welcome, a guy you're not interested in, it's someone who is creating a sense of fear, uncertainty, potential danger. For women, this a very real concern, and one that men probably don't quite appreciate because they don't have the same experience.

I idolize sketchy guys. They are my role models. The really old guys with glasses, greasy short hair, White T shirt, socks and black sneakers that drive 1975 Dodge Dart Swingers with terry cloth seat covers and fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror and , like you say, ooze confidence that they WILL score you, collect old baseball cards and attend performances of The Maids, Waiting for Godot and the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and so on......

These are THE best guys on the planet....and he CAN score you; he just doesn't want to. And, besides, he was only trying to be friendly and make you feel better about yourself.

Although, it seems to me that professional and upper-middle class+ women seem to be able to exist in the city less bothered because a strong barrier of indifference. I think that's even why urban cities are largely either/or in terms of social class without much of a middle class - the middle folks aren't quite different enough from the 'undesireables' to not become intertwined or at least affected by them socially, so they don't have that barrier of indifference.

I got the impression you were saying upper class have no problems with lowlifes. They know their place. But middle class doesn't have much difference.

Sorry if I misunderstood.

Good example of why as a guy in your 20's or 30's you should be having a ton of sex with young women, or women your age.....as once you hit your 50's you will have trouble landing them
