An FYI...

Just wanted to let everyone know that it seems that men cant get enough out of trying to intimidate us and objectify us...now they are deliberately staring at our breasts in a real obvious kind of way. What? They first discovered breasts? No...they keep doing things like that so that we slump down into our "place". I have never dated a man who lost control of his eyes like that...so blatantly staring at the wrong part of a woman's body while she is talking. So I know something is up. Yesterday, my a/c was on the fritz and a service man came over to fix it. One of the first things he did when he entered my house was to stop doing what he was doing and stare at the wrong part of my body. The message that that sends me is that he will never take what I say seriously and he is rude. Mind you, I had been mowing the law for about a half hour before that...so I was sweaty and in yard clothes - not a pretty picture. I hope his wife kicked his butt when he got home last night, because he deserved it. Just add this to the list of atrocities that the male species has heaped upon woman kind for the last 10 years of this organized harassment against women. No replies are is necessary. This was just an FYI.

I went to dinner on a first date once with a guy who could barely make eye contact. It's funny, Snafu, that you say that the guy wouldn't take you seriously. I'd never considered that this guy didn't respect me or take me seriously, because I'd quickly dismissed HIM as a dating prospect.
If he's dumb enough to talk to me as if there are microphones in my bra, I don't take HIM seriously!
Hey Snafu,
I definetely understand your flustration. I have been in many similar situations. I, especially, hate when construction workers start discussing you while you are passing by without even trying to hide it. That used to get so much on my nerves, I thought I was going to b*tch them out so badly. Such men usually make you feel like a piece of meat. However, I have noticed that the best way to deal with this is just to ignore them. You can't change these men and getting mad is not going to make you feel better. I still get flustrated myself, especially, when much older men blantly stare at me, and that totally gets on my nerves, but if I don't pay attention, I at least don't get angry and just move on.
