What do you attract?

Posted by Whatchawatchin on April 19, 2008 at 8:07pm in General Discussion

My friends have always teased me that I attract kids, dogs, lesbians and little people...not necessarily in that order. It's true. If any of the above get within a 100 ft. radius they will make a beeline to me. Don't ask me why, I have no clue. When I went to the grocery store today I had all but the little person. I walked out the door and a golden retriever comes running out of nowhere, knocks me to the ground and starts licking my face. He was soooo cute! I had a lesbian come over to get a large bottle of juice down for me (I have a messed up shoulder), then stand and stare into my eyes in a really uncomfortable way and touch me like 10 times before asking if I was seeing anyone. Then not 1, but 3 kids attached themselves to me at different times and just started following me around. Now, the kids and the dogs I get. They sense my inner puppy and kid, both of whom are always ready to come out and play. I genuinely get a kick out of both and probably agitate the kids on because I'm the idiot behind you in line making silly faces and cracking your kid up while you unload your cart. Dogs, same thing. I probably do the human equivalent of puppy pounce stance and they know I'm cool to wrestle and good for at least 10 mins. of ear scratching and "good boy!". The lesbians mystify me. I get hit on all the time. Apparently I'm putting out some signal unintentionally.

So, I'm curious! Is there any group, type of person or animal, or just something specific that will seek you out no matter what? I can't be the only one with a magnet like this.

Why, that isn't ice cream at all! The top one makes me want to put fudge and whipped cream on my head too, it looks like fun.; ▶ Reply to This

O is the least of all iPods.
No hands, one foot.
Not a he or a she, but an IT.
As a singer, is sweet,
As a friend, can't be beat.
To Queens and Kings,
O is just a Jester,
But one that can blister and fester!; ▶ Reply to This

Little kids - immediately start smiling, grabbing me by my legs, cry when I leave - it's like I'm a chubby brown Santa Clause. Old,old men - for some reason old guys over 70 wanna pinch me, wink at me, for some reason think I'm sexy as hell. This has been happening to me since I was a teenager and not a week goes by when some old guy gives me the twinkling eye. It's embarrassing, cause I've had friends fathers and grandfathers start to fawn over me and the rest of the family look confused like "is grandpa trying to hit on Bev." It's really, really weird.; ▶ Reply to This
