I don't know how I managed this, but somehow my OCD overrides this idea other women seem to have about men staring at them in public.
I go to the grocery store, and I am IMMEDIATLEY locked in on mapping out the most efficient route to buy my groceries. I do not stop thinking "groceries groceries groceries groceries" from the time I walk throuh the door to the time I get back in my car. I don't worry about the shortness of my skirt or the tightness of my top. I only think about groceries. My brain can only focus on one thing at a time.
I go to the park, and I'm way too busy looking for birds in the trees to photograph to think for even a moment about the possibility that someone might be watching me watch the birds. they aren't relavent to this project, so I don't even know they're there.
I go to the car show. I look at the cars. I ask the young man my age questions about his engine mods. He doesn't think twice about why a girl is asking him car questions and simply answers me with enthusiam about his thoughts and ideas. Maybe he says something flirtatious, but if he did then I didn't notice it because i was too focused on building a mental map of these hoses and wires in my head. It's a puzzle I'm trying to solve, and I'm thoroughly entertained.
I'm going to a party tonight. I'm going to dress up real fancy, it's a fundraiser for my friends local circus troupe. I'm bringing a platonic female date. I'm going to wear a satin black minidress, with sparkling five-inch heels. Men might look at me. I won't notice. I won't be looking at them back.
