This comes from 91's "Got a Man" thread.
Do you ever just get tired of dealing with catcalls, flirtation, folks tryna holla?
If you're single & don't like to lie, what else have you come up with other than "I have a man/woman?" [NOTE: Saying you're gay/lesbian, even if you are, usually does NOT work.]
Do you intentionally dress down in order to not be bothered?

When? When is it gonna be THEIR time to have some justice? To have some fair shake in this world? When America? When?
How long shall they be oppressed and we turn a deaf ear to their plight?

ANYWAY!!!!, You do get tired of it. Especially when it's done in a tasteless manner. My name is NOT lil mama, shawty, ma, etc. etc. "Psssssssssssssstttt" is not gonna get my attention. And grabbing or reaching for me is grounds for me to sick my right foot up your left nostril.
So sometimes, I adopt an "attitude". Either an " I'm so mean and mad at the world so your best bet is to not say anything to me" attitude, or an "I'm too good to even be seen in the same place as you so don't talk to me because you are beneath me" attitude. Sometimes they work. sometimes they don't.

I e-hate you both! LOL
@reign: In my case, I'd honestly rather be ignored. I don't like going through the whole "I'm not interested"
Why?
I'm just not, but thanks for the compliment."
Now he's pissed...thing
I know my attributes may be a bit - unusual. But if I were interested, I'd turn my attention to you; you wouldn't have to ask me.
I'd like to just sit here, watch Candace Parker (Wooh-thank you Jesus!) in the Playoffs & sip my Cherry Vodka Sour; thank you very much.

That type of attitude is PRECISELY why you'd have no chance if I WAS in the market for what you have to offer! UGH!

you men are so one dimensional when it comes to these things. I mean, really, did you just use a pick up line? What happened to Hello, how are you? Or, excuse me, may I have a moment of your time? These ninjas these days are to lazy to use the PROPER APPROACH on a woman.

Its one thing to respond respectfully but just like you all have busters coming up to you.. Some of you are rachet skeezas hiding behind pretty faces who think its cute to totally shut a guy down when he approaches you. That ish isn't cool... RIGHT?!?! WTF?! You brought your raggedy behind over here, all up in MY space, interrupting what I got going on... and I'm nice enough to respond in a respectful manner - and you gon try to go off on me?!

Do you ever just get tired of dealing with catcalls, flirtation, folks tryna holla? Nope, not at all. Can't be mad at a man for trying -LoLIf you're single & don't like to lie, what else have you come up with other than "I have a man/woman?" [NOTE: Saying you're gay/lesbian, even if you are, usually does NOT work. - Not single, not married either but if they aren't blatantly rude or childlike (sayin' ish like shawty, ma, etc.) I will respond say hello, the bare basic convo Q&A but let them know I am indeed spoken for. And if they take it further requesting friendship & phone # I ask them if I was your girl would you want me to REALLY have a friend like you? In turn, I usually get a laugh...and I don't even give them a chance to continue before I wish them a good day and go on about my business (walking away smiling inside ;D yup, I still got IT! Do you intentionally dress down in order to not be bothered? Nope! Funny thing what I miss about NY, on my worse days I would get catcalls, flirtation, folks tryna holla and it was VERY flattering considering I wasn't "at my best" but that don't happen much anymore

Wow, babe... Why so mad? If she's not interested, she's just not interested. No big whoop...there are lots of other options out there.

No, what isn't cool for guys to keep going after the first no/no thank you. Constantly talking is NOT gonna change our minds. THere is nothing you can say (to some) that will change that no to a yes. And gosh, the things you guys say.

Well, I will say: I dress down a lot. I am tall, and I work in an office that's like 80+% men. Sometimes you just don't feel like being bothered with the looks, the stares, the comments; at work or otherwise [don't get me wrong; no one's dumb enough to like harass you or anything here] Most of the time, unless I have something going on that day, I don't wear makeup, skirts, heels, etc. I have a pair of non-scrip glasses that I wear when I'm out sometimes. I guess it's a little different for me b/c of my orient. Plus, because I'm tall & stand out, it happens a lot. I don't like being stared @ in my everyday life. I deal with physical criticism all the time - comes with the territory of what I'm trying to do. Outside of that, I'd rather not have to deal with some guy that thinks persistence is key.

Nope not true all the time.. You will get a girl who will initially say she isn't interested or she has a man and after talking for a while will pull the " Oh I just said that now since we have spoke you seem really cool and here's my number" ..... So talk to your fellow vag owners about playing games.. Its one thing to respond respectfully but just like you all have busters coming up to you.. Some of you are rachet skeezas hiding behind pretty faces who think its cute to totally shut a guy down when he approaches you. That ish isn't cool... No, what isn't cool for guys to keep going after the first no/no thank you. Constantly talking is NOT gonna change our minds. THere is nothing you can say (to some) that will change that no to a yes.

I dress for me. I like my "assets" and I'm sure others do too -LoL. I don't mind being eye candy. Not at all! Like it! LOVE IT!! But don't touch and please don't disrespect me! I'm not over the top. Classy (classic style, hardly faddish) never trashy. I dress to compliment my body type. I'm still young, I work out and when I look good I feel good. You are welcome to admire what you see. I welcome tastful compliments. It makes me smile, boosts my ego and keep me on my toes. When I look good I KNOW I look good and confirmation never hurts
