To be totally honest, I have had a lot of men checking me out lately. This past year alone, it's been an upward of 50 or more. But the looking me 'up and down' thing is getting old, and making me feel very uncomfortable. I have even noticed guys holding hands with a woman sneaking a glance. The grass is always greener. It's disgusting.
And this brings me to last Tuesday night. I was walking home from the grocery store when a guy in a white sports car rolled down his window and said, "Hello Beautiful." I smiled and kept walking. Ten minutes later, I passed a woman on the sidewalk. She turned around and shouted, "You're beautiful -- I thought you should know." I laughed it off.
Hearing that people think I'm okay to look at can be flattering. After all, I was brutally dumped. But it also raises questions about superficiality. I challenge you to talk to me, ask me about the latest essay I'm writing or my passions and interests. There is so much more to me than a look.
