Sex Attraction Agreement Makes A Friend?

[fredtyg]

I thought this kind of funny so thought I'd post it here.

As I wrote on another thread this morning, I shaved off the mustache I've worn for at least the last 30 years last night. I did it for a number of reasons, the main one being I'm tired of trimming it every day. Just as important, I think men are much more attractive clean shaven and I want to be as attractive as I can to other men. Maybe they'll take more notice of me?

Anyway, so today was the first day driving around town and seeing who notices and who doesn't. I go into a drugstore up the street that I frequent and happen to get checked on by a female checker I normally CAN"T STAND. She just talks too damned much.

Oddly enough, she noticed the change as I approached the cash register. She says something like "Didn't you change something? Didn't you used to have a mustache? I love it!"

I confirmed that I had indeed shaved off the mustache and told her I hated trimming it all the time and that I thought men were much more attractive clean shaven. She responds back enthusiastically that she felt the same way and she doesn't like it when her husband doesn't shave and loves clean shaven men, too.

So we go on talking about how much better men looked shaved for a minute or two and I leave feeling like I wouldn't mind staying and talking to her some more about the subject.

Funny thing is, she probably didn't pick up on it but if she would of paid more attention to what I said, I pretty much said I was attracted to clean shaven men. In other words, in so many words I told her I was queer, but she seemed to have missed it.

She sure seemed genuinely interested in me and my new look, though. Maybe we'll be best buddies (or more) now?

Probably not. She talks too much.

I've had a short trimmed beard for about 40 years. Each time I meet someone new, I will tell them that I will shave it, if they'd like that better. So far, every one, of both genders, have been OK with it.

I think they're afraid of what's hiding in the bushes....a beard can cover up a lot of ugly!!

You're not sexually attracted to her and you wrote about how you CAN"T STAND her.

Except now...I might have different feelings about her. We might well have the same taste in men. We have something in common. We'll see what happens.

For sure, I couldn't stand her before but now, that we might have something in common, maybe I'll start talking with her.

As an aside, never met her husband, and have no idea who he is or what he looks like. Still, I was pleasantly surprised that she gave me an appearance complement.

I'm stoked. If only some other guys felt the same way she does.

I can't help but be ok with it. After all, where I live, most guys seem to have some facial hair.

Still, I think, all else being the same, the vast majority of guys would look better if they're clean shaven.

Then again, each to their own. I know I've read from some folks here they prefer guys that look the exact opposite from what I prefer.

So far, I'm happy with getting rid of the mustache.

Good call getting rid of the moustache, I hate them. She probably wouldnt pick up on it if she doesnt assume or expect it by your looks...

Why not make a move and see what happens? ;)

I'll have to say it would almost be tempting, except I've gotten the impression she's a very christian, married girl.

But I'll have to also say there was a spark of an attraction there for the first time in decades. It was so nice to find someone I had at least something in common with- at least in person. There are a few people I've met online I've had much in common with but pretty much nobody I know in person.

I've actually seen her at work for more that 30 years. She's worked at that same chain store for decades. 30 years ago I used to find her quite attractive. That changed over the years, especially after she started working the main cash register and I had to deal with her.

This actually has me tempted to bring up the subject with her again (assuming she doesn't bring it up again) and be much more obvious about what I'm saying about my sexual preferences. I have no problem outing myself to someone I hardly know and it might be kind of fun.

Maybe something along the line of saying "...and clean cut guys seem to be much better kissers to me. I don't know why....". Wonder how she'd react to that?

Mustaches have always had two connotations for me: Freddie Mercury and cops. Having met Freddie at one point, I saw why he wanted one (incredibly buck teeth, wow!). Cops, I'm not sure, except there's surely a macho thing about a 'stache. Not a bit attractive to me. It's either have a beard or not. In the long run, it's really just a matter of taste.
