Just an amusing anecdote from when I was in Taco Bell yesterday...I lived up to my namesake, to say the least. I was standing around talking to a few of my friends when I was there to pick up my paycheck...and this tall black dude walks in...I wasn't really paying attention. So I kept standing there talking, then my friend Tara had to go take an order...so I turned around for a sec, and dude was standing probably 3 feet from me at that point...and he was like "Hey...how you doin'? Can I getcha number?" So I was just kinda like "Umm...no...that's okay." "Oh, what's wrong, baby?" "Umm...nothin'...you just can't have my number?" "Well, why not?" So I signaled for him to come closer with my finger...so he leaned up close, and I just said "I'm a dude." "Huh?" "I am a male. A dude." His reaction was the best. He clutched his hand to his chest and shot back about 5 or 6 feet, damn near to the exit...and just kinda looked at me in disbelief. "Naw...no way. You're kidding, right?" "No...not kidding" "No...there's...damn, there's no way." "Yep...I am a dude." ...anyway...that was really it...I just thought his reaction was priceless. I'm used to getting hit on by guys...I think it's hilarious. Is it bad that I'm proud of the fact that I make straight men question their sexuality?

hahaha it doesn't even really bother me. I'm kinda used to it...I find it amusing more than annoying. I'm very well aware I don't look manly in the slightest...so I just find it amusing when guys hit on me because of it

At least you're a good-looking girl. That's... something. I guess.

Someone's quoted Punk in reference to me before...I don't remember who it was now...
"You may be a dude, but you're the prettiest girl I've ever seen."
...that's totally me.

Hahaha...apparently Jack looks like about 800 people at this point. Never heard him compared to Weird Al before...I personally think he looks like a combination of Ringo Starr and Dave Grohl.

Just from the pictures I've seen I'd have to say it has to do with your physical mannerisms, though I think you've admitted to that somewhere else. Though the first two pictures don't look that girly at all.

Yeah...my mannerisms do have a lot to do with it...and the fact that I have child-bearing hips, more or less. But the way I carry myself is definitely feminine...but it's not something I try to do...I've been that way my whole life, and whenever I try to mask it, it just looks awkward. I seriously can't even walk like a guy...I don't really know what to do. So I embrace my androgyny, rather than try and reject it or change it. I don't wanna change it...proud of it. So yeah.
Sorry, that was a strange rant for no real reason.

Sorry, that was a strange rant for no real reason. Eh, I wouldn't apologize for it. If it amuses you, then I don't see a problem. If you didn't like it, I would feel obligated to point out that the lipstick, mascara, hair, and clothes just ask for it to happen on occasion. I assume that you also do not sound like Dr. Girlfriend since he didn't buy it the moment that you started talking to him. Having said that, if it makes you happy...

Hahaha no...I most certainly don't sound like Dr. Girlfriend...though I've thought about it every once in awhile when guys hit on me...just to amuse myself.
But no, it doesn't really bother me...I don't always wear the lipstick...the other makeup though, yeah. But in any case...I know who I am, and I don't tone myself down for much other than work, where it's required...but getting hit on by random guys doesn't really bother me. I'm bi, anyway, so I see no reason why it should. I just have fun with it. Life's too short to get offended by stuff like that.

Yeah...ordinarily I spare them my laughter to make them not feel too bad...but oh my god, that reaction made me crack up, I couldn't help myself. It seriously made my day...it was so overdramatic and amazing.

You, sir, are Steve Corino's Nightmare!
Seriously though, I've gotten flack, I'm a "hand talker" I wave and gesture a lot when I speak, and I also rest my hands on my hips, or higher up on my sides a lot. If I wasn't a big balding boulder of a guy I would get a lot more crap over it.
But to make fun of me is to risk my dreaded Hyper Mega Super Max Purple Nurple. I pick you up, by one nipple. Or your moob.

Hahaha that sounds very frightening.
But I'm a hand talker as well. And yeah...I rest my hands on my hips...I play with my hair...and I just have a lot of very effeminate mannerisms. Not to mention my voice is not very deep, and I don't really have a lisp...just a very...feminine lilt to the way I talk. It all ends up making people think I'm a chick.
