Don't know why.. but I've always wondered what people say about me after I walk away. You know the thoughts.. "Did I pass?", "Are they making fun of me?" "Did they really give a rats patootie?" etc...
Well, this last weekend my wife and I (me en femme) and another couple (he was in femme also) went to the mall after fixing a purse with a video camera to record reactions. We traded off with me and my wife and then just me and then me and my friend. My friends wife had the rigged purse and always lagged behind as though unrelated, just to catch the responses after we left.
It was a hoot. Most sales people who really gave a diddly were the over 40 crowd. A lot of the young people didn't care or brushed it off with a one liner is all. I was supprised at a couple that responded with something like " she dresses nicer than a lot of real women I know". Yes, I did get one "pervert!" And that lady I would not have suspected because she was really nice at the counter! As a whole, the people felt and acted more at ease with me when I was with my wife rather than by myself.
Overall it just made me a little more at ease knowing they weren't ALL pointing and laughing when I left.
Oh yeh... One younger girl did turn to her worker girlfriend and said - after I walked out - " I wonder if I could get (insert boys name here - probably her boyfriend) to dress up like that?"
If that was your girlfriend and your on this forum - I hope it helped
