She's tall and thin though. She's AA, flat-chested, has had hair of varying lengths. She is totally gorgeous. Men fall all over themselves for her. I'm talking tongues pretty much hanging out of their mouths and staring. When we were in college and I was a little more insecure this would make me a little bit jealous. I actually recall one of my other friends declaring when we were all out in a group " That if Larla was coming the rest of us aren't going to get any attention"
She's not a super stylish dresser, doesn't wear makeup, and is not overly friendly, is actually fairly shy. . Still gets checked out,hit on at work, grocery stores, at the pizza shop or playground, church, bars etc. and you can tell it's not just the guys being nice."
The funny thing is she never makes a big deal about it, Certainly doesn't brag about it, in fact, she most often can be described as being annoyed and embarrassed by it.
She's sadly had to deal with workplace harassment too. So I definitely think it happens, but I don't think it's the women who are constantly saying it happens like it's something to brag about that it is happening to

Agreed. I don't see this happening anywhere. Random strangers aren't chatting each other up in any grocery store I'm in. Even on the dating sites people complain about people just wanting to text constantly without ever meeting in person. Who are all these people asking strangers on dates and actually going on dates? This does not make a lot of sense. Or are people remembering the good old days decades ago because none of this matches the dating reality of today.
Well, I am someone who got asked out at Wegman's last year, during the pandemic. I can't help it if I am adorable and friendly! Maybe you should try it?!

Haha so true. I used to work as a cocktail waitress and had to dress up, do full makeup hair etc. I would get hit on all night long. Sometimes I’d see guys that were begging for my number the night before at the grocery store the next day and they would walk right past me. Some guys love a very sexy “done up” look and I think they perceive girls who have it as easier to get into bed. I was a cute girl back in my 20s but, when not at work, was definitely not the overtly sexy, flirty type at all. I’ve always preferred attracting men I know and like to strangers. Too many creepy guys out there.
It's really true. I dont know why but a lot of men are kind of stupid and truly cant see women unless they have heavy makeup on. I get checked out quite a lot, but when I went through a no maekup period and would tie my hair back, it was like being invisible. And I have great skin, no zits, and don't wear a ton of makeup. But it's like some kind of symbol for men. So strange.
+1 I have an acquaintance that talks a big game about only dating “super hot” women but what he means by this is average women who do the whole fake hair, lots of makeup, very body conscious clothing look. There are definitely symbols of beauty that some men react to without actually noticing the actual appearance of the woman they are looking at.

So no, men are not lining up to ask me out in public. But I do generate long stares from men and occasional small talk. I take that to mean I'm still reasonably attractive.
