Anyone else catching side eye?

If it helps, a lot of this applies to guys as well.  I've been oblivious my whole life when it comes to the opposite sex (when I met my wife and she gave me her phone number, I thought 'oh, she wants to be friends'.  I never thought she could actually be interested in me).  But my wife tells me that I'm constantly getting looks from women now.  

And with other guys, I don't think it's quite the same, but I have noticed that some guys at work who hadn't said more than a dozen words to me in the last 10 years will talk more now.  

When I was obese, I felt like I was invisible sometimes.  When I'd be walking down the street, I'd rarely get anyone who looked me in the eyes.  But after I started losing, it's like people could see me again, and I get all sorts of smiles now.  It is nice.

And men, evidently.  A few months ago, we visit a couple of gay friends, and I did actually notice I was really getting checked out at the gay bar that night.  But then my wife would put her arm around me or something, and they threw her some major shade!

Well I get side eye now too.  Unfortunately my eyelids are so droopy all  I see is side eye...mine.

I totally understand your post. Couple of weird things that happened to me after I lost weight and got a breast augmentation. I got fired from a job I'd been at for five years. When I asked why they wouldn't give me a reason. I applied for another job in another city/state and was told I fit the position perfectly but they decided not to hire me because they were afraid of the distraction I would cause on the production floor. Women.... That's an interesting twist too. I now have no female friends except my sister. I have found that married women don't want me as a friend because they are afraid I might steal their husband. Married men don't want me to be friends with their wives because they are afraid I might convince their wife it's more fun to be single/hot looking. And single women don't want to be my friend because I'm competition in their eyes. So basically, no friends. Funny how when I was fat I always felt used or taken advantage of but no true friends then either.
