Now how does it make you feel ? what does it feel do be a female?


I hate that and I'm glad it doesn't happen to me any more.

There was a time when I was younger when I found that attention to be flattering but now it would just annoy me or make me feel unsafe. Looking back I think I briefly liked it because it was a nice change from many years of being bullied and hated at school so the attention seemed more complimentary than it really was.

Guys do that? I haven't noticed. I was ignored in school because I was an ugly duckling, and now I get mostly platonic vibes.

If that is what defines a female, then I am not :lol:
When guys look at my body, they see nothing: I have small boobs and also wear baggy clothes.
When people look at me (it doesn't matter if they are male or female) I feel very uncomfortable and hate it. Unless it's Andrew looking at me. In that case I feel shy, but I don't really hate it :lol:
No one has ever flirted with me, or complimented me, or chased me, or asked for my number.
Only once in 8th grade a boy I didn't know came close to me saying "hey, you know you're really sexy?". I got extremely scared and ran away. My female classmates that had seen the scene were laughing and later they told me that I was dumb, because no boy in my class liked me and when another boy did I ran away.
Well, I don't think it is flattering or anything like that. It's just plain creepy to me. If it came from older guys it would be even more creepy. I am 16, I neither look older than that, I'd think that a 20-year-old guy or so approaching me and complimenting me would be just a f*cked up pedophile. Whoever approaches me is going to be gently told to go away, and if they insist they're going to be hit by me. I'd rather avoid being abused, thank you.
Also in school I was teased so much that now I think that everyone complimenting me for my appearance is just making fun of me and telling me lies.
