I don't think you can unwire nature. Our first impression about someone is usually looks. Passing someone in the store, on the street, at church, etc, if they are attractive you notice.
I have a thing about eyes, I am drawn to them, I can't help it. It doesn't matter if the women is 20 or 70, if they have pretty eyes, and the situation is right I will compliment them. It is not about sex or lust or anything weird. Its like when I see a cool car or motorcycle, there are certain colors and line that I am drawn to.
One more thing about the Lowes story. The way it sounds to me was the guy was drawn to you and when a chance to make a comment was available he did. That is not stalking or creepy.
Hickerchick, where do you propose a guy can start a converstation with a women? Why is bad to be in a store? I met my wife at K-Mart. (She is my blue light special, LOL, she hates it when I say that, she thinks it sounds like I got her at a discount).
Redhen, Your funny, I love the things you say.
