Yesterday I was sitting at a casual restaurant and a lady came over as she thought that I was her girlfriend. I was presenting as male. She said that she was sorry for the confusion but I was wearing a sweater that looked a lot like the one her girlfriend was wearing a lot recently, and the same for the jeans, plus my hair was somewhat like what her girlfriend wears.
I told her that her girlfriend must like to wear her boyfriend's clothes, and we laughed. She said that her girlfriend likes to wear this bright red lipstick and that I obviously did not have any on. Well we had a little bit of chit chat after that, then her girlfriend came in and she joined her at another table.
That lady must have been blind as a bat. Her girlfriend was rather pretty, and at least this time, she was wearing jeans but her sweater was a deep pink, mine was a purplish or royal blue. She also had more feminine looking hair than me, although I have a lot of weight or thickness in my hair in the back, as her girlfriend does.
I do not consider that a male fail, but I did get a small kick out of what happened.
