Why Bother??

When the weather gets nice, it makes people happy. They're outside hanging or walking places instead of taking the bus or train. And there's more people on the street than the winter time. Well, I guess here in NY, the cold weather doesn't stop people from coming out. There's just more in the summer.

So you walk down the block and well, if you're a woman, then you've probably had some guy talk to you, say hello to you. Most women ignore these men. I do. I just walk by and even if a guy says hello beautiful, I still ignore him. I mean, some guys do say nice things and are nice, but you don't say anything because most guy that say things to you on the street are assholes.

So I walk by a guy saying something to me and I just keep walking. One day I said to myself, "maybe I should smile. I mean, not all the guys are being assholes..." So today, on my way to the gym, some fat mexican looking dude says, "hello beautiful." So I force myself to smile and I do. Just to be nice, you know. Not that I want the guy. So I look over and smile and keep walking. Seconds later he says, "Working hard? That's good, but you'll have to cook me dinner later."

Wondering if it was me he was talking to as I turned around, and clearly he was as he and the guy next time him were staring at me and laughing. So I said, "You need someone to cook you veggies cause you look like you need to lose weight." Okay yeah, that was lame, but I think it was shorter than that. I'm trying to remember. He says something but I kept walking while the other ppl standing by him laughed at him after I said what I said. He must have felt stupid, I'm sure.

So that's why I don't smile when a guy says something to me. I try to be nice, but why bother?
