		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to our world, Megan, where you&#039;ll be asked to smile by men when you really don&#039;t want to.  Sounds like you handled the drunk guy with aplomb, or even good humor.  Me?  &quot;How &#039;bout a smile?&quot; makes me want to sock a guy in the jaw.  Women never say it to each other, and men never say it to men.  It&#039;s a guy on girl thing that always strikes me as a need to assert dominance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sounds like a fairly average day.

Being sirred when you are standing in front of someone when you are wearing a skirt, and have obvious breasts, is a little surreal. I&#039;ve heard from many women that they sometimes get called Sir. Ignore it, let it wash over you. Being upset by it doesn&#039;t help. If they meant to hurt you then they achieved their goal if you react. I used to correct people a lot, I don&#039;t bother now. It happens far less often now too.

I can see why you keep a crappy look count, but frankly it doesn&#039;t matter what other people say does it. It&#039;s their problem not yours. As long as they don&#039;t matter to you - ignore them.

The last time I got read and laughed at in public it was a young girl that read me. Most adults don&#039;t notice, or if they do then they don&#039;t care. I they do notice - so what, you&#039;re not going to apologise for who you are. Their problem.

Keeping a crappy look count will help you track it - seeing it going down is nice - but has the potential of reminding you that you still get odd looks. Maybe better to just ignore it.

Hey don&#039;t forget that sometimes people are just looking at you to check you out, the homeless guy thought you were cute after all ;-).  Being checked out by guys rather freaked me out at first - they are just so obvious, women know all about this - we have to learn.

		<description><![CDATA[Wow... Between the drunk guy and Rico Suave, I now feel like I need a shower.  And $1.84 for a Diet Coke?  At most, they cost $1.10 here.  Just another wonderful perk to living in Arkansas... 

Just remember that you ARE beautiful.
