Young teens saw me . . .

[Sinthia]

I was outside my condo this afternoon, taking out the trash, when three young (about 14) girls came out of the pool area. The last girl saw me as I walked to the dumpster, and told her companions. One of the girls looked at me and asked "Why are you wearing a dress?" I said because I want to. The girls looked at me, kind of smiled, and kept on walking home. I was afraid that they might 'jump' me about being dressed this way, but that did not happen. Loks like not all teenage girls give us a bad time.

Teenagers are usually the worst about things.

And thank god!...
I think that Teenage Girls are the Smartest and thoughtfull of the LOT nowadays!, for the MOST part!

"Because I like to" is the answer I give to everyone who asks me why I am wearing a dress.

I'd hunt them down and kill them!! Ok... just kidding... I stay away from groups of youthes.... Safety first... being pretty comes second.. ehehe

It's good to hear the younger generation can be more accepting than they're usually given credit for..

As long as you don't come across as a creep, or someone with something to hide, people generally don't seem to care what you wear as much anymore.

Hmmmm, that reminds me of a similar experience I had a while back. It was close to Halloween, and I'd decided to dress and just go out and about. I told myself that if harassed, I'd just simply say I was headed to a party. I was wearing my fave color--black top, mini-skirt, thigh-highs and pumps. I went into an all-night grocery around midnight to buy some cheap lipstick, when a carload of teenaged boys pulled up. There were like five in all. I got the feeling that two of them were following me. As I was pulling money from an ATM, they just stood there, a couple of ailses away, staring and commenting to one another. Nervous, I looked at them and said in a very "manly" voice, "I'm heading to a costume party, dude!" There was a look of disbelief on there faces, followed by, "It's a guy!" Obviously, these poor fellows did not have a clue until I gave it to them. I was so nervous, I left my card in the ATM, but I bought my lipstick. As I walked out to my car, the group of guys followed me out. I was convinced there was going to be trouble, but they wanted to know where the "party" was that I was going to. I just laughed and told them that it probably wouldn't be their type of scene. The moral of the story? Be confident in yourself and never underestimate the power of a short skirt. :heehee:

Great story! I agree. Your mental state can project confidence or weakness. w.

went for a walk on the beach the other day, first time ever dressed & was very nervous when a couple of teenage girls overtook me walking in same direction
was rapt when they just said hello as they came past & carried on with their conversation about boys, fascinating the bits i overheard
