(34,648 posts)I'd like to think men like me because I'm smart and funny?
My poor sister has to deal with the assholes, so she has only had one boyfriend in her 33 years. I've had four. It's hard for her to find someone whose not looking at her like a prize to be won or bought.
Some would try to call her ugly to get done attention from her.
I didn't have the same issues since I was a nerd in the gifted program. Everybody knew my name and that I was the smart one and hella boring. All I did was read books, play flag football, play video games, and read some more books. They tried to tease me but I didn't notice unless they grabbed my book from me. All you have to say to guys like that is ' I know you like me , but this is not the best way to get my attention' and they ask you out or Leave you alone.
We made a deal in high school not to give anyone the time of day if all they could talk about was our bodies or how pretty we were. So annoying.
Maybe people (boys)teased you at that age to get your attention cause boys at that age are hella stupid.
