So...Last week I was in cafe I attend almost daily and for the second time in a week a woman (same woman) walked in, caught my eye and smiled. I smiled back like I did the first time. I'm polite, and she was rather attractive.
She went inside, ordered a coffee then promptly came back to the alfresco area and straight up to me. I'm like, "WTF!" I looked up from my computer, was writing a post for steem, and she said hi and various accompanying words to strike up a conversation.
This doesn't happen to me much and so I was frozen like a deer in the headlights. Anyway, I regained my composure and we started talking...With her appraising me the whole time...and preening I noticed, hair stroking, tucking behind ear etc.
Anyway, we parted ways after a chat, and her leaving her business card...And me thinking "what just happened".
So...being appraised like you were, up and down, happens in reverse, maybe just not as obviously. More finesse is applied sometimes. I get that it's repulsive for women mostly, and I have to say I felt quite, umm...Well, hunted I guess myself.
We're all human and subject to habits and ingrained behaviour. Sure, most men are a little unsubtle but that's another ingrained trait perhaps? I'd certainly not want to make someone feel uncomfortable with a glance like that and based on my recent event I can understand how one could feel that way. It's a tough one as humans are programmed to reproduce and so the two sexes,men and women, play out a game to make that possible. I guess that up and down is a part of the mating behaviour. I'm sure there's studies on it.
I don't have much to say about the big butt thing...Only that Kim Kardashian has much to answer for.
Hope you're well Ginny! Been a while. 👀😶

I think for most women, myself included, the up and down look isn't bothersome if done in that sort of unconscious way that doesn't linger. It, and my reaction to it, is more just an interesting human behavior to me. There have been times where I've had that feeling of being hunted too though, but always from somewhat threatening behavior.
Ha, what an interesting example of aggressive female behavior - the preening in front of you and so on. So many people write in cafes, and often fiction. I could see that experience inspiring some interesting changes in plot if that had been fiction you had been writing. Did you go home and tell your wife about it so that she could be reminded what a stud she has? :)
I'm sure there are studies on this stuff. I need to go looking for them. I'm sure they would be an interesting read.
This butt was right up there with Kim Kardashian. It was fascinating.
Yeah, been busy. The school year started, and my calendar is slammed. I'm still around though.
Haha, nah didn't say anything to Faith. Nothing really to gain by doing so. Besides, stud isn't a very apt descriptor for yours truly. I'm many things, mostly good, but not that.
I may write a little fiction on my cafe-encounter sometime. Took me by surprise to be honest but I could embellish a little, add a hint of more to come, a tryst maybe...Who knows, it might happen.
What won't happen is me getting into those big ole hippopotamus asses that seem to be all the rage. People actually getting implants to augment them I'm told. Seriously, WTF. I'm not much of a fan of all that plastic surgery stuff. Wear some make up, enhance what you have and leave it at that. I don't even like fake tan on a woman, let alone trout lips and floatation-device boobs. Many like it though I guess.
So, busy hey? Get stuff done then do some curating. More rewards for that soon. I'm still going to be a content creator though. It's what I know.

Oh man, the plastic surgery. The butt-plants aren't common in these parts yet, but a large chunk of women you see on the beach have had breast implants. (Big butt lady was up there with Kim Kardashian, but I'm pretty sure it was natural.) There is so much information out there that those things can cause serious health problems, and the simple fact that you have your breasts sliced open to do that, all in the name of vanity? It blows my mind. It is also a fact that all the women I have ever spoken to that had them were simple minded and very superficial. I now see them as a symbol of the shallow. Agreed, walk around in your own skin and pump it up with makeup occasionally, but not with permanent plastic.
I came here to write, and happened to meet a handful of people I am fond of - including you - which keep me here. I will be dropping some votes and writing here a few times a week, as usual.
I'm glad we ran into each other. Nice that you'll hang around. 😉
That typo really connects the previous comment with this one. I like it ;)
Oops...Typed without my reading glasses on...Corrected. 😊
