maybe when i was younger and in twenties there were times i dressed to be checked out and check out the checking out. but that has ogtten old, years ago. mostly, i brush my hair and were the clothes i do for ME. lol. it is all about me. i WANT to look nice for ME.

i cant remember the last time i dressed for the population at large.

yet men think, if a woman steps out with brushed hair it is to attract them.

too many women are just going thru their day with no interest in these men. but it is privileged and conditioned in them, this is a mans job.
