After dropping Amy off at work this morning I had to go to an auto store to pick up transmission fluid and a funnel (since somebody stole everything out of the back of our truck a few days ago). I walk into the store and usually don't get offered any help or even really looked at, as it is with many customers that go in there. As soon as I walk in a girl runs over to me and says "excuse me sir, could I help you". I replied with "no I know what I'm getting but thanks." She insisted on helping me find it and then immediately noticed the ring on my wedding finger. [Although we're not officially married yet, we are common law and I wear a wedding band to ward off all those women
]. She said "are you freaking kidding me? you're married? no way, how old are you". "20, and yes I'm married" "when?" at this point she was starting to freak me out a little so I lied and said "3 months ago" which I guess is kind of true, that's when we became common law... ha ha, loop hole! The worker ran over to the other 3 girls that were working the tills (ironically all women there today) and says, "this guy is married, sucks eh?" and all of her co-workers are just staring at me... LIKE MEAT!! What I found really bizzare is that this one woman who has worked there for quite a while was on the till yet the woman helping me was walking her through all of the steps (slowly but surely) to ring my stuff up!!! Women are very sneaky and work in packs! Just before I left the store she says "make sure you don't go getting divorced anytime soon *wink*". I got the hell out of there after I said "don't worry about it, that won't be happening in this lifetime".
I couldn't help but feel a little bit flattered because that kind of stuff just doesn't usually happen to me... but a little awkward and flustered (if you will) around the whole event. I kind of know what women feel like now except they usually get that kind of stuff from men quite frequently! Has anyone else that has begun HRT noticed an increase in attention from men or women? This has happend 3 times this week (once while I was driving, once at a restaurant and today at the auto store) and I think it has to do with confidence. Obviously the T hasn't had any effect on my face yet, but for some reason I've been getting attention from women that I'm not used to! It's usually the "is that a man or woman?" look... or maybe I was just paranoid.
I would really like to know if anyone else has experienced anything like this!
