It felt like high school déjà vu, telling him that I just wanted to be “friends.” What else could I do? I mean, he was groping me with his eyes. “Hello! See anything but my tits?” We had coffee and a brief conversation. That was it. I know he likes me, and that’s flattering. But what was I supposed to say at that point? I lied and probably made it worse. I said he was one of the few men I’d ever met who didn’t see me as a sex object. I wanted to cry when he said “thank you.”
I was dumbfounded when I heard the words, “You don’t see me as a sex object.” Even worse, she said she liked me because of it. What was that supposed to mean? The woman was beyond delusional. Of course I saw her as a sex object! All I thought about was jumping her bones. She’s insanely attractive, and I’m a guy with a pulse! Sure, I looked at her tits. They were attached! Besides, there wasn’t time to get to know her. But at that point, I didn’t know what to say, so like an idiot I said, “thank you.”

A pointed tale outlining the difference between men and women and how they view each other.

Why can't men realize that they can be honest to a point. If he stopped ogling and said"I can't believe that a person as smart and generous as you, could still be so beautiful," he wouldn't be in that situation. A compliment that doesn't just involve her looks will get him much further. There ends the lecture.🤣🤣

You nailed it when you wrote "to a point." That's the whole problem. And perhaps he hadn't gotten to the "smart and generous" part. The lecture is fine, but this is a conversation that has gone on for as long as humans have walked the earth. And undoubtedly will continue long into the future. Thanks, Mary. Comments are closed.
