I am the object of all sexual desire to men above the age of thirty-five.

1. One regular in the store calls me dollface. I asked if he wanted his paper in plastic, and he proclaimed that he is low maintenance and willing to wait.

2. An old guy was taking a picture of a house under construction. When I got close enough he asked if he could take my

This could be evidence of...

[sihnstarr]

1. That you have a soul that radiates your beauty, intellect and males(the meat moths of some evolutionary experiment gone awry) are drawn to your flame.

2. The media blitz of the last twenty years of convincing males over the age of thirty-five that only women, several years their junior, are open to such trysts.

3. That you live in an area where the male population is hitting "the mid-life crisis" phase all at the same time.

4. That all males are pigs.

i vote for number one.

i would think if one is true, you have this effect on all males of any age, in some form or another.

I trust your words. Not all males are pigs though...that's the last word I'd use to describe you.

I do believe number three. This drunk guy came in last night to buy some beer, and after our transaction I was walking away and I heard him say,"You're really pretty." And all the older men smile at me. But what is with the older men responding? My boyfriend said it could just be that they have more experience in being dirty old men...[lol] I'm almost afraid that I flirt with people and don't realize it because I think I'm being friendly.

Um... this post was kinda too creepy and unsettling :(

As long as it's all harmless and stupid just take it in your stride. Except you know, the neighbour -_- he sounds like someone who'll get shiv'ed sooner or later in some prison. :shrug:

That is one weird book... I'm not sure if I'm secure enough to read it :D I read the first two.. or three books in the hitchhiker's guide. The humour and plot were too illogical for my tastes. I've been meaning to read some books too now that my finals are over. My friends keep telling me to read Atlas Shrugged or Fountainhead. Atlas Shrugged was too incoherent even in the first chapter :(

[natte_latte]

I do not have the ability to decipher whether or not it's all harmless and stupid. My neighbor, well, he says he's been wanting to be with me for the last three years, and he's tired of waiting for me...but he says I'll regret it after he's married. lawl. I'm happy where I am now.

Pornicopia, I've heard it's very odd...but how often do you come across a book like that? [no pun intended]

Sometimes the illogical-ness annoys me, like I'd finish a chapter and the next one starts off seemlingly completely at random. But I like Adams` writing style and his sense of humor. Not many books have literally made me lawl. I think it was in Life, The Universe, and Everything when there was the brief on living mattresses...you didn't find that amusing at all? The chapter starts off with a robot meeting a matress. "Happy?" said the mattress

[dead_pho3nix]

Don't take my word Atlas Shrugged. You might like it. I guess even I'll try it again.

The thing about Adams' humour is that he's trying to inject this stnadup comedy style into his book. And I've read so much good science fiction that I can't read the book without being insulted. If the humor would've been good enough I coul've forgiven it. But it's not, not for me anyways.

PS: Three years... definitely the shiv for your neighbour.

I call people doll all the time, and dollface slips out on rare occasions. I'm a good decade shy of 35. If anyone looks offended, I just say, "I'm sorry; I watch too many old movies." and try not to say it around them again.

The dollface example wasn't meant to imply perversion.
