So I got a little lazy and posted a lot for a few weeks while things were quiet. Doesn't mean I can keep that up.
I have a fb but I seldom post anything on it.

There isn't much point. People pick apart whatever you post and if you don't update pics, rumours start that you're the size of a whale.

It was so much better when it was only people I went to college with.

Well...it's true. I really don't care what some random person thinks of my looks...that pretty much goes for my husband too. He either likes the way I look or he doesn't, but I'm not changing if he doesn't.
He expresses his distaste for some of the things I wear or the way I do my hair. I just don't give a crap...I do things to please myself, not others. If he likes what he sees and compliments me of course it's nice to hear. It's pretty rare though so it's not expected.

The OP's question reminds me of guys who get angry when women don't respond to their flirting. What's up with that? Is it vanity, or is there something else to it?

I also think of myself as an attractive woman with a nice body, and I never, ever dress revealing and don't wear makeup often. I hate the attention that I get sometimes.
Oh goodness... I had a friend who was 7'1 and I'm 6'1 but wear heels fairly often and we couldn't go ANYWHERE without people commenting on us or taking pictures of us. It got a little irritating but we were verging on being carnival sideshow acts so we just went with it.

This was my experience.

Here is a question to men. Have you ever encountered something like it?

Here is a question to women. Do you expect admiring peeks or gazes or maybe compliments from people you know in the neighborhood, in the office, or else if you are definitely a ten? What do you think of people you’d like to have a romantic relationship with that ignore your beauty?

I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy it hurts, and my symmetrical beauty cannot simply be ignored so the situation you mention is implausible.

I think the experience you talk about would happen more with a woman that is average-attractive. I got a lot of attention when I was younger and you just feel harassed all the time, not complimented. You are happy when a guy treats you like a normal person.

I've known women who won beauty contests, and they just want to be treated like regular people. They just want to blend in.

I can imagine it gets quite annoying. I'm sure some enjoy the attention, but I would hate it always being brought up!

I have often expressed disappointment in my friends for doing this out in public. I can see making a comment (between friends), but staring and pointing is just rude...

I have a better question: is somebody telling you that you are NOT a 10? What gives him the nerve to do so? Why doesn't he know how g_damn beautiful you are, and how happy you make him feel? If he's not giving you the love and affection that you deserve, who will? Me, that's who! PM me.....rarrrr!!
