Little Red in the Big City

First week as an independent...well almost

So I have done it! I have finally moved to the big apple after graduating from college 1 year ago. How did a starving artist manage to live on the upper west side? Im squatting at my parents place. Luckily my amazing parents who continue to support me through my pursuit in an acting career. I have done the heavy work of hitting the pavement and cyberspace walls and have found myself 2 part jobs, 1 walking distance and the other a quick bus ride away.

Now for the more interesting experiences...

It began before I even arrived...a 50 something year old man was found sitting 3 rows behind me on the train into the city. He was smoking a cigarette (which is bad enough) and MASTURBATING! I never thought I would be able to say that those types of things happen but they do! And the worst part was that I almost felt bad for the old man because he had no reaction to the cops escorting him off the train. Clearly he was not in his right mind and hopefully will be getting some help.

For you younger men..

There is something in your brain that tells you to "bark" when you see a hott girl. For humans this can mean a weird noise, a 1 word like "damnnn" or a phrase like "you lookin good". For whatever reason these are the things that come into your mind and you choose to act upon that gut reaction. The question is what type of reaction are you looking to get? Is it the same reaction your expecting? Either way you would be wrong because most women will simply ignore you, if you are lucky enough to get a reaction it could be an awkward "thanks" or a complete blow out in your face for drooling and barking at her like the dog you are.

Of course not ALL men do this, but there are enough of them that every women has at least a few stories of when they were oogled in public. But the reference to men as dogs does not always have to be in a negative way because when you think about it women probably are like cats with our judgmental looks. Maybe at another time ill create the comparison between cats and dogs and men and women, but for now I have to look out my window hoping to see a sexy man staring back at me. I mean it happened on Sex and the City.
