You think you've got problems. For my whole life women have been clocking me for the size of my feet. :D

People tend to believe that it is a single detail what clocks them. For instance, they think it's the big feet or big hands/ This is not the case. Imagine a genetic woman with huge hands or feet. Would she be clocked as a man? No, she would just be clocked as a woman with big hands. It is a combination of things what clocks and people can't put the finger on it.

Lovie that was a joke of sorts. What I'm saying is people get stared at for a number of reasons and no one elses opinion matters if you are confident, that's the part I'm working on too. I'm usually the tallest person in the room also, and I have only seen one woman as tall as me in my lifetime and that was recently. So there are no illusions on passing on my part. I believe we are looking to blend. My friend Chris-Deee taught me that being confident is more than half the battle.

In an ideal world, opinions shouldn't matter, however, in real life, you won't get a job in retail if you don't look the part, friends (even good people) will feel awkward being seen with you in public, and I can go on and on and on. Confidence is only a small part.
