Amateurs!

I was accosted by TWO hot moms as I was leaving the grocery. And four boxes of Girl Scout cookies later, I was out the door!

I keep getting odd compliments from my Indian co-workers. I don’t know if the cause is cultural or something, but it’s odd. They’re not terribly aggressive or anything, it really just seems like they feel they should tell people when they find them attractive. These ladies are half my age, almost all married, and even if I was age appropriate they’d be out of my league.

But several times, In the middle of a video meeting we’re in, I’ll get a chat saying something like “I think you’re handsome.” I have NO idea how to handle this, so I’ll usually just say something like “I think you’re very kind.”

Could be something lost in translation. One time a Chinese woman co-worker told me, on a particularly busy day, “you look hot today.” Only what she really said was, “you work hard today.”

Ehh, I doubt it. This is in a chat message, so there’s not much chance of my misunderstanding due to accent. They or I could be misunderstanding what “handsome” would mean in that context, I suppose.

About a decade ago when I was in my mid 40’s I was walking down the sidewalk on Bourbon St. (New Orleans) when a pretty mid 20’s girl locked eyes with me and approached. Now, 40 something guys like to THINK that pretty 20 something girls are interested, but here’s the thing. THEY AREN’T. So I sidestepped her and kept walking.

Walking down the Las Vegas strip at about 2AM, a woman walking the other way got right in my path and said “I know you’ve been looking for me”.  
I replied “Oh no, I was looking for restitution”.  
I thought it was quite hilarious of me to come up with that on the spot, but everyone I tell the story to just roles their eyes at me, just like the woman I zapped with that zinger did.

I was approached and violated by beautiful woman today.  
She had her hands under my top.

She was sticking them things on me to have a medical test done.

I thought to myself “Wow, she’s pretty, if I was guy I’d like her.”  
I almost said that to her.

I stopped myself thinking it’s not a good idea. This a professional and she don’t need this crap.

Maybe it was an apartment or hotel room number.

Probably, unless this is actually a European song:

A long, long time ago when I was going through the recruitment process for the Canadian Forces, I was getting my physical. I was just out of high school at the time and had had my vitals taken by a male medic, after which it was doctor time.

The doctor was an attractive captain and she did all the doctor stuff. Then she took my blood pressure and, after looking at the results for a moment, remarked that it was higher than the first reading from the male medic.

She then asked me if I had ever had a female doctor before. I (probably stammering like an idiot) replied that I hadn’t.

I went to one dentist and the tech was a gorgeous busty early middle blonde, who when cleaning my teeth kept pushing her chest on the side of my head, etc.

Very pleasant tooth cleaning, which might have been her object.

Way back when, while I was doing Street Preaching For Cthulhu as an unofficial part of the Philly Fringe Festival, there was a show called Rolling Naked. It was two scantily clad women pretending to sleep in a bed in a store front window. There was more to it than that and it had some artistic merit. After I parodied Rolling Naked with me and a plush Cthulhu, one of the women asked if I found the show arousing.

I was TERRIFIED. If I said yes, I was ignoring the artistic merit of the show and being a pig. If I said no, I might be turning down a threesome.

I said something non commital and stupid. I should have explained that I was between a rock and hard place and explained the dificulty of answering- and then said yes I found the show arousing.

If you’ll excuse me, I must go kick myself now.

I have no doubt that these “beautiful women” encounters occur…in some form or fashion. My only question is: when they occur, do you sometimes hear what sounds like yourself snoring off in the distance?

A few years back I was at a week-long conference in Las Vegas; by the end of the week you are just accustomed to handing out business cards like candy, and to receiving business cards galore. So, as I was walking through the casino at The Bellagio, I didn’t think twice when an attractive young woman just said, “Hi,” and handed me her business card. I still had a name tag on, so I figured it was just another attendee.

Then I looked at the card and concluded that “Sexy Lexy” and I were probably not in the same industry.

Funniest part was that I was walking _with_ my wife. I have to admire the work ethic.

It’s like at certain times of the year, we do certain things—December rolls around and people shop for holiday presents or maybe in October you get the scary decor out. A thread comes up about beautiful women approaching and you have to repost this classic:

> Please BE WARNED! Over the last month I have become a victim of a clever ‘Eastern European’ scam whilst out shopping.
> 
> Here’s how the scam works:
> 
> Two very good-looking 20-21 year-old girls of eastern European origin come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot. They both start cleaning your windscreen, their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T- shirts. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they’ll say ‘No’ and instead they ask you for a lift to another supermarket. You agree and they both get in the back seat.
> 
> On the way there, they start undressing, until both are completely naked. Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you intimately and thrusting herself against you, while the other one steals your wallet!
> 
> I had my wallet stolen on September 4th, 9th,10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th and 29th. Also on October 1st, 4th, 6th, 9th and 10th and twice yesterday.So please warn all the older men you know to be on the lookout for this scam.
> 
> The best times seem to be just before lunch and about 4:30 in the afternoon.

This version is missing the “you can find wallets for $2.99 at Walmart” part.

She probably thought your wife would make the same assumption you did, and that, if you were interested, you wouldn’t let your wife see it.

I experienced the sort of reverse of this. I’m female and while walking between hotels in LA (for a sci-fi con) a car slowed as it turned a corner. A man in the passenger seat said in a low voice “sex?” I was standing next to my mom.
