Thanks for the laugh. I haven’t had to use a wood stove since junior high, so I smell like a human now, but thanks!

A few years back I purchased a perfume called “vanilla caramel” and wore it often. The attention I got from both guys and girls was astounding. Everybody loved it. Everybody got hungry.

Men, on the other hand, have a different “leave me alone walk” (please forgive the broad brush I’m using here – sociology is nothing if not overly general). It usually follows the more masculine ideals – look high and over people rather than at the ground, puff out the chest and throw back the shoulders. Essentially, instead of making themselves too small to be bothered with, men generally prefer to make themselves too intimidating to approach. Both postures are immediately recognizable because they exaggerate gender norms that we are all familiar with, no matter if we agree or disagree with them.
This is, of course, vaguely recalled from Sociology of Gender many moons ago, so YMMV.

That’s cool – I’m not the biggest girl in the world, but from Soul’s description, I have a “leave me alone” walk more like a man than a woman – walk tall, walk fast, wear the ‘bring it on, bitch’ expression. And I have glasses too!

Wait, that’s what I do every day. Dang. Guess that’s why I never get dates, let alone catcalled. :smack:
