Guest Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Agree about the scary face. My sister told me that teachers learn it in their first year after qualifying; essential for classroom control. Particularly effective if you've just had your eyebrows tinted.True that getting older helps; gives you control over whether you think of men in sexual terms or not. The guy who owns the house I live in likes to walk around wearing just a towel, very occasionally nothing, and leaves the bathroom door open when he's in the bath, particularly when his other half isn't around. He doesn't say anything but makes eye contact. Bit like having an oversized attention-seeking three-year-old in the house.Rarely get to have deep discussions with men these days. I think it was a character in a Carol Shields novel who said, "When did you last have a conversation with a guy he didn't try to win?" Kind of rang a bell with me.

Michael Palaeologus Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Some marvellous stereotyping going on here. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3604-is-it-just-me/page/2/#findComment-113503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annasfield Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 It's not just about being chatted up. Like Asset, I seem to have some sort of homing beacon for nutters - be they male or female. It happened at lunchtime - I was queuing in the Post Office and this old man just came and stood next to me. I was stood at the counter getting my car tax disc, and he just stood right beside me sucking his teeth. I didn't even make eye contact this time. Might have to start staying in. ::o Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3604-is-it-just-me/page/2/#findComment-113551 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 CWALD, it's part of the reason I'm moving, but the least of it, believe me... Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3604-is-it-just-me/page/2/#findComment-113616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Anna, I know just how you feel. Nutters always seem to make a beeline for me on the bus (perhaps they recognise a kindred spirit) but a couple of minutes in my company and they soon piss off when the realise I'm a bigger fruitcake than they are.
