Less attention

Yes, these are all very good theories..... along the same lines, I think we're much less threatening to others when we're heavy.. You know we're sort of 'asexual'. I have an example. I have 2 friends (male-both happily married, like me). We used to flirt shamelessly and make really rude, sexy jokes with each other--no more. I think now I am more like a woman and less like 'one of the fellas'--you know? We all have to tread more carefully now. I am taken more seriously. Another example-----I used to go out at times with some young single friends. I always was the one sent over to meet the guys they were interested in. Partly because I was older & married, but also because I was so not in the game because of how I looked----this, too, has changed---. I find this all very interesting----- and PS--- I have changed all these interactions as much as my pals have----so it's not like it's happening TO me---more like WITH me-------! Keep me posted, you are smart & intuitive and I'd appreciate your sharing with me as this all unfolds in your life---- Cathy
