This topic is too funny. Hi again ladies. I'm a sisterfriend from Chicago. I don't post too often, but I read a lot. I'm starting to think that I have the old man magnet also. A couple of weeks ago, some 40+ year old man wearing snakeskin shoes in the 80 degree weather
walked up and asked me for directions. That was cool until he decided to stay and wait with me on the bus stop. The bus was on its way in about 5 minutes (THANK GOD!!!) He shook my hand, held it and said, "Girl, if fine was a crime, you'd have a life sentence!" All I could say was, "Yeah, okay, bye" and get on the bus as fast as I could.
Some of the other lines I've heard include:
"I like your shoes." That's just as bad as "I like your hair."
"Are you pregnant?" My reply: "NO!"
"Do you want to be?"
A Nigerian man said, "In my country, you'd be an old maid. I just want to make some friends."
If those weren't bad enough, I had a drunk 30 something year old slur, "You're the most beautifullesssss girl in the hole wide wurl. Can I get yo numba?" (spelled just like he said it).
Will the madness never end? I thought it would end because I have a boyfriend, but these guys are the first to ask "Are you happy?" or "Oh, so I guess you're doing the faithful thing, huh?"
I'm going to end there, but ladies, I would love for this topic to continue. You all have me cracking up at work. :-)
