so...this is awkward

I start biting the string on my jacket and stare.

It worked on me

would work on me too \m/

My reaction depends on if I think I can get something out of it. An encounter at the fish market yesterday that started with elevator eyes ended with me getting free oysters. And all it took was a smile.

I also notice that I get asked if I need help by guy workers in the hardware and electronic stores while shopping. Had a semi driver on interstate go random speeds and when I tried to pass he would speed up and look over with a creepy smile. So what do I do? I never forget who I am, where I have been, and what I want from life.

Who I am ?
Weight loss didn't make me beautiful, just made me feel better physically and mentally. I don't work hard on my outside to get other men to look at me as a sex object. I work hard in my life to be a respected professional, intelligent member of society, and if a man wants to compliment me I wanna hear things like... "Girl you are gonna get promoted today." Girl your competence shines. Then I want to go home to my best half and be real: insecure at times, eating the sugar free stuff that gives me nasty toots (ok I do try to avoid, but it happens) ..... and still have my guy be always proud to call me his wife. Because I desire a healthy relationship and know my role in getting one...... I also give what I expect.

Also, remembering that I am still who I was before.
Although it is flattering to have these random strangers pay attention in a different way .... I am still short tempered when I am hungry, a baby when i don't feel good, hate to clean the toilet, have a week of every month when closeness with my husband annoys me and a week when i can't get enough ... i don't like to be rushed in the morning and don't expect me to think intelligently until after my coffee. I am stubborn, hard headed and still short tempered at times, set in my ways .......

I've already worked though the hard stuff of figuring out how to maintain a 25 year marriage, keeping it alive and accomplishing my life dreams as well as working through his. I want him there when I have the flu not just when I am feeling sexy or frisky.

No stranger with a cute smile can give me what I have worked with my partner to achieve.

Marriage is grand, divorce is 10 grand and if you like the idea of cute younger women smiling and taking everything your husband used to give to you.... then carry on and give it up. If you are unhappy in your marriage, that is a different situation that your appearance should have no impact on.

Men have suddenly discovered the amazingly sensual creature I am & I have my own theme music.
It plays in my head where ever I go (don't judge me) :huh:

QFT love this.

Use MFP to find a guy that lives 7 states away, fall in love with him, convince him to move to your state, and then tell him you're married.

I've heard it works n stuff. From science n shiz.

I've heard it sometimes leads to an episode of Snapped. Guess this would be the male version. Some sort of true crime episode, anyway.

Lol, when I am jogging, men in trucks rev the engine/ honk at me. This behavior, in a rural town, is some type of flirtation, but I find it annoying and frightening. For some reason, the men here enjoy watching a gal jump with fright. Bring an empty jogging stroller with you and it helps prevent all that. Not just jogging. Bring it everywhere you go.
I wish I had personal theme music. That sounds awesome. I wouldn't need an iPod.

It's been a while since I attracted any attention - these days it's just old folk, weirdos and feeders - but in my heyday I tossed my hair, smiled and fluttered a bit.

What are elevator eyes anyway?

I'm told I do this:



Even if that's not my intention.

I do this. Works every time.

I'm usually polite. Takes the form of a slight flirt if they're appealing, or a straight no thanks if someone not my type propositions me.
I'm happily married so it's all for confidence boosting and nothing more.

^^This
And thanks for the theme song idea, I'm going to have to try that
