He was probably in his 40's, if I had to guess, in a baseball cap and jeans. He was alone, but he could have been performing for the back of the bus.

He didn't look the type to try and insult me, but then, I don't really expect that out of anyone.

Sorry to hear that Carrie. :flowerthing:

Whenever I expose myself on the bus, people say nasty things to me too.

That alone is gross.

I hate it when people think they have an instant audience for their comments.

It's like watching one of 2the9s threads here on the org. It's full of FAIL and in the end just disrespectful. Folks like him shouldn't be allowed on public transportation---and if you get my hint, 2the9s should be banned.

Man, I hate shit like that. Little rude comments (especially those made about your looks) will haunt you forever...no matter how hard you try to ignore them.

mcmeekle said:

Someone made the point, also, even if this person was giving you a compliment, do they expect that to work? Why even bother with such a bad line?

NDRU said:

Right?






In any case - now I'm off for a run.

What an ignoramus!

Don't be sad! Bet he didn't mean to sound rude

I thought it sounded funny but not if it hurts you. Sorry

NDRU said:

I think this sort of thing is ridiculous. But -- and I hate to say it -- I can only imagine some men continue to do this sort of thing as a compliment because they must be met with a positive reception by some women. I personally know women who are fine with being spoken to in absolutely horrible ways.

Now, why some guys think this sort of thing is universal to all women? I don't know.

...I just want to clarify, too, that I'm not saying women who put up with this stuff are to blame. This stuff, compliment or no, is due overwhelmingly to the idiocy of the male aggressors. I just wonder if women who uncritically engage this kind of mess still retain a certain power, if they want, to re-train some of these poor dogs.

I always find rude public comments or off colour jokes blurted out to strangers as a sign of very low social upbringing. It embarrasses me in the sense that I'm embarrassed for the person making the statement and the audience moreso than the person who is being commented on. It's just really ghetto.[/quote]

Totally agree. I would even take it a step further and say this person could have just as easily been complimenting her with a "hey mama - digging that skirt" kind of thing and it would still be just as embarrasing for the person making the comment.

Just crop your pics more.

See? Just like this. Exactly what I mean.

CarrieMpls said:

Yeah, just like your mamma's except, I can close mine!

You may be insecure, but at the end of the day you're still generally regarded as being an attractive person. Some people are considered ugly.

Beyonce has thunder thighs according to google

men just have no idea and I bet this guy just happened to like your legs and said first thing that sprang to mind without thinking it might not be the most tactful thing to say

mcmeekle said:

Just think of your date. He really likes you

Lammastide said:

Men used to "holla" since I was 13-14, so Imma place the blame solely and completely on the idiocy of men. In fact there is never a reason why any person should speak disrespectfully to another person like that. People need to use their inside voices more!

"Thunder Thighs" ~ I guess now I can understand the negitive intention possible


that sux if that's the way he inended it


in my experience/life/world ~ surrounded by atheletes n all ... thunder thighs meant powerful, strong thighs, and was meant as a compliment

He's just bitter that he can only dream of being between the amazing thighs of a classy good looking woman as yourself!

Sounds like a dude with a small dick would say. :\

How are you?

Fauxie said:

Im doing pretty good Nicky, been kinda a rough week but things are looking up and only one more day till the weekend! How bout you and Mon, how are you guys doing?

PurpleThunder said:

Good to hear things are looking up. Yes, bring on the weekend!

We're well, thanks. Songkhran (Thai New Year) is coming to a close here. Hopefully the protests in Bangkok will soon too. Things can then return to normal, or as close to it as this city gets.
