Other shoe…

For the last 20 minutes, while I waited for my bus, I watched quietly as every single bloke who drove by turned their head and looked over the cute 15ish year old girl with sunglasses who sat beside me. She was clearly aware and hiding her discomfort.

Now there was a lot of traffic, so we’re talking one head turn every 10 seconds. That’s 6 a minute. Maybe 180 in the time I sat there.

If this is her everyday experience what kind of attitude will she grow up with – about men – about her body – about sex?

I wanted to ask her how old she was, what she thought of the attention, and if it bothered her, but I didn’t. Instead I just turned my head and looked.

That’s how I knew she was wearing sunglasses, that how I knew she was uncomfortable, that’s how I knew she was cute.

Scars on chicks

Are scars just for blokes?

I’m sitting on a bus and the girl in front of me has as many as a dozen fat scars across her back from moles being cut out.

On a bloke I wouldn’t think twice … blokes have scars …

So why aren’t chicks able to make the mistake of spending too much time in the sun only to have big scars on their back ? Because they’re supposed to be something effeminate? Something innocent and unspoilt? When you’re a bloke in the throws of love making – is there something off putting about these marks? Like some other bloke has come along before you and branded her his own? Wouldn’t that kill the mood a little? Hmmm…

Or is all this a load of crap as I  fight against the tought of my own back … and the long over due check up …
