I can’t put my finger on it, but people at work are definitely respecting me.
For the most part, that is. I do sense something from certain people that work in the warehouse that feels almost like hostility or animosity. Like… I’m a threat. That’s what comes to me and typing it made my gut relax so I think I’m on the right track.
I’m an attractive 6’4 lightskin mixed dude with a great smile and sense of humor and people take to me quickly. I’m surrounded by minorities in a company that hires felons and I’ve got a bright energy about me, so I mean, there’s gonna be polarization.
Plus…I make extraordinarily hard eye contact with people that offend me by looking at me too hard (I grew up in San Bernardino, I mean, c’mon) so generally, dudes will suddenly find a fascination with the fans on the ceiling or they’ll glaze over and shake their head like they just came outta a trance.
It also doesn’t help that I’m noticing that the office girls, one by one, are becoming interested in me. Nothing serious so far, just lingering looks, catching them eyeing me from waaaaay across the way and feeling my eye contact and jerking, etc. I’ve encountered being ‘that guy’ in many a workplace, so I’m already knowing how it’s finna play out.
With the challenge that I’ve been doing, I noticed something that I didn’t anticipate. Normally, I would look at the girls at work and be distracted from whatever I was doing so I could sneak a glance at the booty if it’s presentable.
Today and yesterday, I’ll look, tell myself “You’ve already seen it, nothing’s changed since the last time” and studiously ignore them from there. So tell me why, now, the same females that acted like they didn’t see me before when walking by are strangely finding reasons to linger in the area or room I’m in.
This one particular girl has a ridiculous butt in certain jeans and she knows we know. For the first couple weeks here, I’ve looked any chance I could get on my “Fuuuuck…” mood. Before yesterday she looked at me maybe twice I could think of.
Now, if I see her coming, I divert my attention to something else, or immediately return my attention to what I was doing completely. Not in a jerky oh I got caught way or anything but more like she’s just an average girl.
It didn’t take long at all energetically for whatever happened to happen because NOW, I be coolin’ with the homies and I’ve caught her staring at me multiple times since just yesterday.
I manifest very quickly because of the work I did before subs but that kinda threw me off, not gonna lie.
