Oh no, you are so wrong. We are all horrible and our socks don't match today.

But your smile lights up your face.

Dac, now that you said something nice and kindly to me, I'm going to have to delete a part of my sig line.

Definitely. When a woman intends to cheer someone up by smiling at them, men think "That babe WANTS me!!!!!!!".

I must differ with that. Most men do not construe friendliness with "wanting them". Some guys think everyone wants them, as well as some girls. That's their ego issue.

I try and say nice things whenever possible, especially in lines. A well placed compliment on someones nails or the service you receive can go a long way. Sometimes I do get the "yeah sure" or "stop hitting on me" looks and that's ok. It's funny but most of those looks come from people I would never hit on in the first place. Sorry if that sounds vain.

Finally, I LOVE IT when someone calls me "honey" or "babe" when I'm buying a cup of coffee or paying for my fuel.

Where I live and farther south hon and dear are used a lot by ladies towards anyone.

Me too. CityGirl and I have stuff in common I see. I have to really bat myself sometimes when I realize I'm spending too much time studying my belly button lint!

Studying lint or admiring your abs?

No, you can leave it up. I was going to comment on it on the other thread.

Because alot of men have been socialized to interpret friendliness as ...uhm... "friendliness."

When I was 18, I worked at a hotel restaurant. I learned very quickly that I was not doing a "good deed" by chatting with men who were dining alone.




Oh, if y'all want to tell me I look lovely today...

You are gorgeous, as always.
