“I was walking towards school yesterday and two guys were standing on the street. They started to look at me and said ‘Hey mammi..you lookin’ goooood.’ When I looked at them, I realized that they were young…In their twenties. And not bad looking either. So then I really wanted to ask if this little technique of theirs worked or if it was just a stupid joke they pull on women to entertain themselves. I cant imagine sitting on the street andĀ holleringĀ at every cute guy that walks by, like they’re a fluffy dog on the sidewalk and I’m marveling at them. If I were to hit on a guy walking down the street, he would either laugh at me or ignore me because he thought I was crazy…No matter how attractive I am.
I dont understand this. Really…Does this work for them? Do girls actually stop and say ‘Hi’ to someone critiquing them like a magazine ad in the middle of the street? Instead of getting really mad because these men make me feel like a piece of meat, I smile right back at them. I can take it as a complement. Hey, if you want to call me hot, why should i be mad? Doesn’t mean you’ll get ass, just means your fooling youself, not me, boys.”
