I coordinated my top and socks today. (To be fickle, the top is lavender, the socks violet, but they're still pretty close...)

It's the socks. Those old guys are thinking that those striped socks are like those that women wore then the pornography that their granddads had.

That's right, prostitutes used to wear striped socks. No wonder I kept getting cars tailing me while I was cycling in striped socks and short skirts.

Well, it's difficult not to appreciate well coordinated tops and socks.

I'm guessing A and/or D. I'll ogle, but only when certain that the target cannot tell and other random people around me are very unlikely to be able to tell. Maybe as people age they have less of a sense of their surroundings? (flirting being different: you do stare briefly but then stare at their face, of course) Then again, the sense of "what do I care, I'll do what I want to do" does increase with age. I used to follow advice when people told me my hair looked bad or what not; these days, my life is my own, and if it bothers them that's their problem. With some things.

That's why I love my aviators, because I can stare at people without it being noticeable.

That's interesting because I had been wondering if the not-caring thing was related to the power play present in the situation (ie, old/man versus young/woman), rather than independence or maturity but one thing all these have in common is that they give you more confidence, which makes it easier to not be bothered by the opinion of others.

I so need to get some new sunglasses, because you're right. Although I'm more the Oakley or mirrorshade sort. Probably the latter; Oakleys are $$$.

Confidence is probably the common factor, although I think some people just have a natural tendency to fall into the "what do I care?" mode whether they really are confident or not.
