Hello ladies (current and former) of Lemmy (current) - I'm curious how your experience of the male gaze has changed as you moved in and out of young-woman-hood.

How has your opinion of being seen changed through this process?

I'm a boring guy like from an insurance commercial, just curious what it's like on the other side and especially in the way that experience changes! The categories in the title were the first I thought of for people who may have passed through or into a peak of sexual desirability. It's probably fraught question, and I'm sure I'm phrasing it indelicately.

Are you wearing khakis?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Kakhi shorts and a polo, yes! May I interest you in saving on your insurance by bundling home and auto?

Sure. You just find a home in my price range, and a bank willing to loan money, and I'll do the home insurance with you.
