Here's what I mean. When I visited France, the men met my eyes. When I walked past, they smiled, they were appreciative. They said flattering things, one even kissed my hand. but it was not threating, they meant nothing by it more than just showing that they were men and I was a woman. but in the U.S. and Britain, men have been trained that it is proper to look at the ground, and ogle a woman only when she has gone past and can't see it. Well, we are dressing and grooming ourselves to look nice, but it feels so unsatisfying to go shopping and never feel as if one has even been noticed! to feel more or less invisible. I am just saying, I never even thought of it before I travelled, and now I vote for the French way. It is so much more encouraging and friendly, and leaves you feeling beautiful, sexy, appreciated, not unnattractive and ignored.
What I really want to know is what is going through your minds, why you look away like that?
