What's wrong with jamaican guys, who may actually understand locks, hitting on you? Is it NOT ok if they do? Most black people treated me in a very hostile manner while I had locks, so whenever I met a friendly one with or without locks who said encouraging things or told me it'd get there or offered compliments, I was rather happy and/or flattered.... Once a middle aged black lady with manicured looking locks pulled up in her suv, and told me she loved my locks, and told me to keep it up, and apparently realizing the strange racial polarization regarding hair in my town, mentioned her white locked friends with similar stuggles Always made my fucking day, even if they don't know much about em people approving of them always felt good... It is annoying when people with no fucking idea and a shaved head get all high and mighty and act like you don't know.... But tell em they're full o' shit, not like it hurts you if they're stupid:2thumbsup:
They usually at some point in the interaction mention I should go to the salon to get them redone (to be fair it is the "black salon" that they are referring to, at which some of them work) which bugs me And I just don't see why my hair or whatever allows them to shout at me from across the street and wolf whistle and follow me and no it doesn't hurt me, it just annoys me. And sometimes freaks me out actually, a guy followed me on a bike for ages talking about my hair and how attractive my skin tone was and how he'd colour my eyebrows for me half price............... I'm just like You do not know me at all why are you doing thissss D: I don't really get the whole thing though like hitting on people like that it confuses me. But I'm a social retard so that explains that.
I'm Not So Sure About The "Accross The Street" Part, But The Bit I Have Quoted Sounds To Me Like He Is Involved In Some "Commission Based" Advertising Campaign..... Cheers Glen.
Well yes, hitting on girls (specifically black girls and/or those with dreads) is genuinely their way of getting business. But that's creepy! Lol
I don't know where you are, but here black guys, specifically the ones who disliked me and my hair, only need to start talking about DA' ASS ON HER, YO, and he's handcuffed to her bed in ten minutes... Yes, I'm a cynic. But I'm also being literal...
When they mention my ass, that's when I begin to cry, because I don't take it as a compliment I know my ass is giant Haha I'm kidding I don't cry but seriously though it's not cool. Best way to get me to whip my handcuffs out is........... Well, that would be telling
No!! I hate people hitting on me. Granted, it's only happened.. once.. or twice.. but I get creeped out and slightly offended. Even if I like the guy, I think he is taking the piss or doing it for a joke. Yea, self esteem queen here. Amen to alllll of this. I too am a social retard. We should make a club. "Rehab for social retards".
I can't even recall the last time a young man hit on me, but I can tell you the last time an older man hit on me. At least young men want to hit on you.
Because it seems to either scare guys shitless (which is hilarious to watch) or they somehow assume you're a slut. I don't get hit on a lot, but when I do... Well, I'll join your club. I laugh. And can't stop. It's really bad, seriously, I'll most definitely choke on my drink one day. And I roll my eyes. Can't help that either. Since I started dreading, I seem to get hit on more. The opening line is always about my hair...
I am not fucking you. Erry day is exactly the same. Erry day is exactly the same. There is no love here. There is no pain.
I get hit on by old guys ALL the tiiiime.... And I don't hit on guys because a) I'm a social retard b) I'd be sure I was going to get laughed at...! and c) I wouldn't hit on anyone; if I make a move on a guy it's someone I know. And if it's someone I don't know, how will I know if there's any reason to hit on them? Have to get to know them before all that... to suss out any kind of compatability or huge discrepancy... This post is boring
Back when I had dreads, these Jamaican guys called me a fake Rasta... I had real, natural dreads and they had shitty salon-style waxsticks, and they're implying that I'M being fake!? It's probably because I'm half white, typical. Also, I got a lot of "roll yer dreads!" from people who have no idea what they're talking about.
Oh, and to top it off, some asshole just gave me negative rep because I had "dreadlocks" in my name and apparently they are "for posers." The post that he gave me negative rep for wasn't even about dreads... WTF?
OK... This thread is about "False Facts" about dreads/locks... Well... Im about a month into my "dreads" and all I have ATM are "two strand twists" which I had done right after my hair came out of plaits for about two months. My hair looked pretty cool just coming out of the plaits. They were all kinky and crooked so I just started twisting two of the undone plaits together real tight. I did this to my whole head and figured they would dread eventually.:willy_nilly: Anyway... A month into this and its coming along slowly but surely. Now I have random guys/galz on the street greeting me out of the blue. (I dont mind this) Most of them have dreads so I guess its kind of like a secret society they think we all belong to. I lol when a REAL Rasta greets me by saying something along the lines of "Irie Rasta... something something something" and I dont know how to respond. Alot of people can see that I'm trying to grow dreads and others just seem to think that I am overdue for a haircut! Most Rastas that I've run into assume that I partake in the herb too. lol... I dont. Driving to work today I spotted a bright pink van at the traffic lights and as I pulled up next to it I first noticed the dude's awesome dreadz and stared at them for a few seconds. He noticed me staring and was quick to give me the "Rasta Fist" greeting. (He must have noticed my attempt at dreadz). One more thing... a week ago I went out and while standing inline, some Punk Looking guys approached and all of a sudden started talking about Bob Marley and his music. I giggled inside coz I knew they were trying to take a piss at me. I'm enjoying my new found attention.:2thumbsup:
