First time to be with my colleagues in a professional atmosphere (read seminar) tonight. It wasn't for credit so I expected a lower turn out. It was very interesting though. Yes I over dressed. I knew I would be. In my profession, jeans and a hoodie are common. I wore a nice dress, make up, heels...but hey, the other women have been doing it a lot longer than I and they aren't into that anymore
About 25 people, 4 guys in that mix. Most looked at me, then pretended I wasn't there. No one sat next to me until there were no other seats. One hetero(guessing since they were male and female and together) made sure they took extra steps to go around me....moved to be further away and her look made me think maybe my makeup was smeared or something. Worst reaction was from a lesbian. She could have killed me with her stare.
Two women closer to my age actually talked to me. Maybe it was because I over dressed
Yeah, this is going to be fun.
