    I'm a pretty ordinary person but I have just found out later in life I'd love more not so "normal" people in my life. They make life interesting.

    Yep! I have blue hair and 1 side of my head is shaved. So fair enough...

    ^^ And that's totally hot.

    As for me, from high school to my early twenties I had multicolored hair (fire engine red, purple, green, Pink), over 19 piercings (3 on my face alone), and I wore huge 50 inch bottom JNCO jeans with band tanks/shirts and ball chokers. I was pretty much stared at and/or made fun a lot of the time, and it got to a point that it just no longer fazed me. Some people stare at me even now, I'm pretty sure it's because of my weight but IDGAF.

    Oh and I've prob been guilty of staring a time or two especially when I come across someone (male or female) heavily tattooed with unique style..only because I think it's hot.

    Living in Asia, being a foot taller than most people and easily twice as heavy, yes I do. Doesn't stop the little old ladies from pushing onto the subway!


    Let me guess, little old ladies pushing, South Korea?

    So true! Some people want a reaction regarding their appearance. I get annoyed by the attention seekers then blaming society because of their weirdness. I don't really give a rats *kitten* how many tattoos, piercings, hair coloring, etc you have. Each to their own.

    I get stared at. Ever since I was four years old, creepy perverts and weird little boys alike have been coming onto me. In public. Against my will. It's disgusting, and I would happily have it stop, because:
    a) I'm a lesbian. I'm not interested in them. I'm not a fan of their penises, or of penises in general.
    b) It's been going on for over a decade, and for all that time, I've been underage.
    c) I cannot control the size of my breasts. It doesn't mean that I deserve lecherous creepers and scumbags hooting and catcalling and ogling me. It doesn't mean I'm asking for it. It means I have been cursed with 34DDs since the eighth grade.
    d) I don't f*cking like it.

    ROFL.

    I have never heard that terminology before. That was awesome. Seriously though, how is that something to stare at? *eyeroll* It's the 21st century, people...we all come in different shades!

    I get looks all the time. Especially people staring at my boobs. It's more disturbing when it's other women!

    I get looks and comments after people start to get to know the real me. I guess I look normal (whatever the hell that means) on the outside but I am far from being on the same wavelength as most of the people I encounter.

    Eh, it's a weird frigging world: people stare, and people ignore, and people type frantically on their little handheld mindwank devices while doing either or both. *shrug* It's just what happens--

    Usually people give me weird looks in public because I do and say some strange things. I've come to accept that most people will look and there will be the occasional person who has the balls to say "Omg, you're a freak!"

    I used to, back when I wore more interesting things. Alas, they weren't work appropriate.

    Now, I do the staring... but usually because I think someone's outfit is awesome...

    Well yes but not because I have tats wish I did or piercings at least the looks would make sense, I'm 4ft 10in and apparently that makes me odd , I have two daughters ages 16 months in a few days and turning 3 in Aug , in fact one day a woman flat out not only stared at me but had the nerve to ask if they were mine? seriously ?

    I swear people need to let go of the stereotype that petite people are young,

    I swear if I were a different person Id give some of those people a piece of my mind,

    Im 29 and its a constant battle to prove that I'm not a teenager or a 21 yrs old ,

    its getting old , ill be 30 in Feb so there has to come a point when I look my age.

    I do no act like a teenager nor do I dress like one so why do people think Im so young ?

    My oldest looks like me and my youngest does not but they are my children .

    Im sure lots of other petite women have this issue, oh well what can I do but be myself and let them think as they want .

    I actively avoid looking at people in public. I prefer to stay in my own little world. I do talk to people when I am out and about, but usually they speak first, I'm not going to be rude and ignore them. I notice stares more when I am with other people especially my family, my daughters are very attractive, their dad and I not so much. I can almost feel the question is how did those two have kids that look like that?

    Yup. Weird looks and when my fiance and I go into a store, we're sometimes followed by security. Meanwhile, while security is focused on my fiance and I, there's usually people shoplifting, stupid kids running around or riding bikes/skateboards, or some mother mistreating her child.

    I was stereotyped by older people when I was young. Now that I'm older, I'm stereotyped by younger people. It doesn't get any better with age. If anything, it gets worse.
