I just threw up in my mouth a little...twice

Living in Florida in the summer means one thing when it comes to your wardrobe...SWASS, swamp ass, sweaty ass, whatever you want to call it. Just walking to and from the car is enough to dampen your clothing...gross, I know. The beauty of being a woman is wearing skimpier bottoms than the guys can get away with, and thus, alleviating SWASS. Also, I work in the most casual environment you can imagine and needless to say, there isn't a dress code. Actually, I'm sure in most of the customers' eyes, who are all men (and fit the construction worker stereotype beautifully), the less clothes the better. But I digress.

So, I found some really cute plaid shorts the other day. I don't really wear shorts because I'd rather wear a skirt, but these were too cute to pass up. Plus, I was tired of wearing jeans to work. Today, I wore the shorts and a collared shirt, an outfit I wouldn't consider "sexy." Apparently, I was mistaken.

The first comment was directly to my face: "You go girl. You're looking fine." The comment was pretty much out of context compared to the rest of the conversation and it was coming from a dirty, sweaty, older man. But I still smiled, trying desperately not to shudder in front of him. The second comment was indirect and was revealed to me by my boss: "She's looking good today." This dude in particular had already asked the boss if I was married, and is definitely not much to look at (not that many of them are). I was completely skeeved out for the day.

Seriously, these guys ooze sketchiness. My stomach just hasn't been the same since.

I say Bullshit. You love the attention.

Sure, everyone likes to know people find them attractive, BUT I'd rather get the attention from a decent looking dude, rather than an old, hair sweater-wearing fucktard. Would you love the attention if some large-and-in-charge toothless wonder started hitting on you? Probably not.

I would love it if some large-and-in-charge toothless wonder of a woman started hitting on me!
