cat calls vs compliments
So is it an an unexpected side effect of my weight loss?
Am I just OUTSIDE on the street more?
Or some combination thereof?
At any rate - lately I'm getting them at a steeply increased frequency and I never quite know what to do with them.
I've also recently discovered that I need to be more careful in my selection of clothing when I'm alone as opposed to when I'm out with Gary. I can wear low cut -tops when I'm out with him - because who's going to mess with the 6'2" guy whose hand I'm holding? But I wear the same shirt when I'm out on my own - or with another girl - and all of the sudden I get eyeballed.
I'm stuck somewhere in between glowing from the compliment and being terrified of the person delivering it. I'm embarrassed to admit it has everything to do with the age & appearance of the person as well as the tone with which it was delivered. And why do I have the general feeling that I wouldn't feel so nervous about it if I were living in Blacksburg?
Anyhow - I'd been talking to Gary about this lately. He found this related article and forwarded it my way.
