Did he just check me out?

[Melody Maia]

Well I can now add being meowed at and being wolf whistled at in the growing repetoire of bloody stupid things men do when they see a pretty girl.

What, that didn't make you want to go out with them? I'm shocked!

[Rock_chick]

Strangely no.

Today I was walking out of a store located on a side street behind where I work and a burly guy in a truck stopped and 'checked me out'. To be honest it scares me to death when this happens because I never know if something bad might happen.

From what I can understand I never get attention from guys my own age.

However Older men show a very distinctive intrest in me particularly if I wear this one outfit (It's perfectly decent isn't lude or anything) but it draws alot of attention from older men.

If I do get looks from guys my own age... I don't notice.
The first time it happened I was an idiot he was late 30's and he was pretty good looking and I stupidly let myself get carried away ¬.¬ (It was during the ->-bleeped-<- landlord saga and I was feeling down after having been insulted and called a he-she all day and I needed to get away) I could have gotten myself in alot of trouble with what I did. (I let him drive me somwhere ALONE) So stupid of me. he turned out to be okay... but he could have easily been a rapist.

The subsiquent times have been odd. Walking past a jolly and drunk homeless person in london he responded with "OH WOW HELLO GORGIOUS!" very loudly (he was saying other flirtatious things to other women) and he followed me down the road I spoke to him casually he seemed nice enough if drunk and abit dirty he paid me alot of compliments in a short space of time. He was in his 50's

When shopping at aldi in the same outfit I was picking out bread to whitch this reasonably well groomed father figure man in his 40's said to me "haha... That sure is alot of bread!" intresting pickup line... I responded with "Yes... Yes it is."
Walking back an even older man in his 60's beckoned me over from his window with "hello sexy could come over here." I actually ran away and got changed into my more andro clothes once I got home.

There were times before that likes months ago when a guy flirted with me but I would overhear his friends laugh with "Was that a dude or a chick" stuff and he'd answer "I'm too drunk to care anymore."

eeeeep! Must see pictures of this outfit tho

Haven't you ever got tongue-tied around someone you're attracted to?

[pebbles]

Ooooooh nice...tho i really don't understand why it's a magnet for letchy pervy old men 

[VeryGnawty]

tho i really don't understand why it's a magnet for letchy pervy old men 

I was thinking the same thing.  I don't understand why it attracts creepy old guys.

[pebbles]

I don't understand it either but all of the events I've described have happened when I was wearing those clothes nothing unusual happens to me otherwise.

[MillieB]

Haven't you ever got tongue-tied around someone you're attracted to?

Maybeeee! But I would also deserve and have been quite rightly gently mocked for it. I don't make a habit of trying to pull people 20 years my junior though.

[lancem27]

I too do not understand why the outfit attracts old men, pebbles.

"hello sexy could come over here." I actually ran away and got changed into my more andro clothes once I got home.

I would take TEN showers after being in a situation like that, ughhh, what makes old men think they can be so forward? Nasty.

[VeryGnawty]

Desperation.

[lancem27]

LOL!

[MarinaM]

Desperation.

Y'all don't even want to know about the male prostitute I encountered the other day... /shivers

[pebbles]

Desperation.

I don't judge them harshly for it I mean hell having people interested in me is better than the alternative.
ie "Oh gross... yuck what is that?"

I'm not interested in a relationship or even a fling with a gentleman THAT much older than I am but they were still flattering to me, I only feel bad that I was perhaps giving the wrong impression.

[Father Way]

I don't understand it either but all of the events I've described have happened when I was wearing those clothes nothing unusual happens to me otherwise.

Pebbles: You have innocent young girl look in you and that skirt simply enhances that. I don't want to creep you out by telling this but since you're all wondering what it is about. I think it's the Lolita fantasy that triggers them. *shudders*

[Padma]

People (so I'm reminding us that this means "not just men") are famous for not realising they're as old as they actually are. Older men (and women) are attracted to younger women (and men) because they're attractive, and then the issue isn't "should I be attracted?" but "what is appropriate/dignified to do with that feeling?" - and then along comes alcohol, and then you can pretty much throw apropriate/dignified out of the window, sigh.

So if we're going to bang on about dirty old men, then we don't get to spin-doctor dirty old women into "cougars" or whatever, do we now? Because I'm not happy seeing older men's longing for love and affection treated differently from women's. I've been on the receiving end of both when I was younger, and I either appreciated it or didn't, depending on how it was served and who the person was serving it - and women can be just as creepy as men.

I really like young women and men to look at, they have great skin, they've not lost the knack of smiling and being enthusiastic/passionate about stuff yet, etc. - but I want someone closer my own age for intimacy, whether it's physical or all the other kinds available. Even 10 years' difference can make things really weird.
