As I sauntered back in from getting the mail earlier I pondered why the mailman can't look me in the eyes. He's younger, fairly attractive, and as far as I can tell from talking to others on my block, professional. But for some reason when he gets around me, even with my UM in tow, he becomes extremely flirty and simply will not look anywhere except my breasts. I have a decent rack and a nice body, so it was a little flattering, sure. But mostly it was just irritating. I think it's because he is so obviously leering that it goes up on the insulting quota. Not to be conceited, but he's one of many men who have less than met my eyes in the past. Usually it is the creepy stalker type, but occasionally there have been one or two that were actually attractive. Provided it is simply appreciative I find it flattering and take it well. When they don't look anywhere else or it's particularly lascivious or solicitous (from strangers, mind you. It can be fun coming from that sexy someone.) I tend to take it very poorly.
So, ladies and gentlemen, cats and kittens, how do you feel about being ogled? At what point does the flattery become insult? Does it have to do with how long it continues, where they are looking, where it takes place, who it is coming from, what they are doing at the time, who you are with when it happens? At what point is that line crossed for you? If you care to give examples, I would be interested to hear them.
Not trying to devalue your situation here NakedOnMychain, but men do look at women.
I work with a load of women, and quite frankly it's fuckin' superb. They're like a pack of cats on heat. Most of the time I don't have the first clue what they're going on about, anything from bikinis to low fat yoghurts, but they're a game lot, always flirting.
Where's the line crossed? It's not.
