Wow moments - well nice feelings anyway

Hi Last week one of my work collegues (male) complimented me on how good I was looking and my weight loss. Then on Sunday another male aquaintance complimented me on the same thing. Well, here is the deal, it felt so good having men compliment me. I have NEVER had men compliment me on how I look before except my hubbie. It is a feeling I want more of. Somehow, although I love getting comments from other women, it feels so different coming from men. It made me feel fanciable which I never have before too. Also, hubbie mentioned that I stand and walk differently now too!! He doesn't usually notice anything so it must be showing

WOOOHOOOOO (((((((((((((((RUTHIE)))))))))))))))))))))))) I'm so thrilled for you honey that's just wonderful. It feels great. I definitely carry myself differently now i don't try to slunk into a room i walk in head held high ready to greet anyone who looks my way. Hugs, ANDI

I went out to a club with some girlfriends Friday night. I had a really cute guy ask me to dance and hang out with me all night. First time, I've ever had a really good looking guy ask for my number. Even if he doesn't use it, it did me a world of good. Along with 2 other guys (at different times lol) dancing with me while I was already on the dance floor (a miracle in itself) earlier. It just shocked me! It really did my self esteem good. So congrats on the compliments, I know what you mean! Mandy

I know how you feel. I am married and happily so, but it's fun and exciting when a man pays attention. I had my (male ) dog with me in pets mart and some younger guy came behind us with his dog saying isn't she so pretty and started up a conversation... I was so shocked I could feel my face turn very red and was shocked.... (shocked but did the happy dance the rest of the day) Jean

Ruth, that is simply marvelous! It's a great feeling, isn't it? I know that having a man other than your husband pay attention to you is a major ego-boost. I've had men smiling at me and saying "hi" ... never happened before. It's just a good feeling to know that they are looking now! I'm happily married too but it sure is a nice boost to the ole self esteem! Deanna

I WISH!!!!! Too bad I live in the middle of nowhere and all the men I know are my classmates(all studying to be priests) and most of them are married and we have all had the "sexual boundaries" workshop so everyone is too afraid to comment on how we look lest we be accused of something bad. I am glad that you had it happen!

so funny you posted this ruth! last night i went to a flooring store to buy my mother a area rug for Christmas. mom was with me and this young (and I do mean young, maybe 21 or 22 at the oldest!!) handsome man came out to help me. he looked at me and smiled huge and i thought now isn't he cute, kind of looks like my 20 year old daughters old boyfriend. he proceeded to flirt with me almost nonstop, he even told me that i was pretty and asked why my husband wasn't there helping me when he carried my rug to the truck for me. the rug was on sale for 299.00, he let me have it for 199.00 cause he said there was a place on it that needed to be cleaned. i kept thinking, is this handsome young man really flirting with me?? was he just trying to make a sell? maybe, but still, it seemed like he meant it. it's been so long since i had anyone flirt with me, i am still blushing. it's kind of scary though. my husband never compliments me, even since the wls. so, it feels so nice to have male attention. it has been a long long time. deb

Ha ha - wow he gave you $100 off - being on the receiving end of flirting - even if it is harmless / innocent on our part, is fun isn't it.

No wonder Ruth, you look awesome! I know what you mean though. I walk a little prouder these days too. I think people are attracted to the confidence in us as much as they are to our new bodies Hugs, Darlene
