| Ladies, At What Age Did You Realize................ Posted: 8/17/2007 6:58:42 PM | "And what "Bucsgirl" said earlier in the thread ...
Men have that power too, ya know." There's attraction, from a profile, forum post, pics, phone calls, emails...yes even from HERE. Chemistry, yes, but it still is the litmus test of does it translate to face to face.
When it's been months, already committed, and both gladly so, and an international flight...yes, planned well in advance, because it has to be. It's all built up to that moment. Nerver wracking but in an excited way. I just knew he would be just like I thought he was and I was prepared that if he wasn't we'd still make the best of it and both enjoy his visit. I knew I'd been completely honest and myself and I had a strong intuition and sense he was too. That moment...ahh...this was it the moment of truth.
The shuttle doors opened, another crowd of travelers exited and walked out. Happened again and again.... I'd sit calmly (yeah right) scanning the faces...nope not this group...nope not that one. And then...in an instant, I KNEW it was him, before our eyes met, he was scanning the visitors lounge...and then..that magical moment.
He knew when he saw me, I knew when I saw him, our gazes on each other were locked dead on straight away...he was walking I was walking...(my knees were interally already weak when I stood up) we just walked up straight way to each other in the crowd. Face to face, I threw my arms around his neck, he pulled me close and we shared that wonderful never ever to be forgotten moment of our first embrace. Hung on for a bit, people walking around...we stole a few quick kisses...and off to get the hell OUT of there!!
That moment, the first time I saw the man I knew I loved...we remember and talk about often. We've had more than a few of those...as difficult as LDRs are, every visit every time waiting for a flight...and waiting and then you see them...your eyes lock on each other...And it's like coming home again. Always magical...always exciting. | |

| Ladies, At What Age Did You Realize................ Posted: 8/17/2007 10:33:12 PM | ~OP~ All kidding aside, you've got to be kidding? I can only answer for me, but I certainly don't feel "powerful" because am I a woman rather than a man. There is nothing unusually special about me ~ other than I'm uniquely me. Likewise, I don't find beautiful men powerful in ways other men aren't. Maybe I view life in a way others don't, but I certainly don't feel that I have the power to achieve anything any other woman may/might/or would choose to attempt. With men? If this is powerful, I need a User's Manual to pass out ~ because I've been dateless for so long it would appear that these men I know haven't read the portion of said manual where it indicates I have an upper hand being a woman with girlie parts.

It's because of having to deal with such a thing at an early age it still makes me uncomfortable and for that reason...I don't use my body as a means to attract men. I hear you! Although I wasn't as young as you. I don't have a negative body image but, I've never been one to wield it over men . I have other means.
At age 13, I was this petite 80 pound thing who suddenly sprouted breasts and the junior high boys would try to cop a feel in math class. I was very shy and overwhelmed by all the attention. These days, these same boys would probably end up suspended or in jail.
I ran into one of these boys several years ago, and he apologized to me. It was rather comical because he was quite drunk. My beau at the time laughed about it and razzed me about it for days. | |

| Ladies, At What Age Did You Realize................ Posted: 8/18/2007 8:04:42 AM | When I push my boobies up to my neck I get lots of free services around town. The power of boobies!
Let them rule!
Actually, I found out once boobs sprung from my chest that men/boys looked at me differently. I never have "used" anything to my advantage. I think men just like to fall over themselves to try and please a woman with lots of curves just to get a closer view. | |

| Ladies, At What Age Did You Realize................ Posted: 8/18/2007 10:08:36 AM | 45 and I am being serious.
Sadly, my best before date has come and gone, but with the right lighting and a fellow with poor eyesight, I got it going on.
^^BG^^
OE: I was still playing with my barbie dolls when I was 14. To state I led a sheltered life is an understatement. | |

| Ladies, At What Age Did You Realize................ Posted: 8/18/2007 10:11:02 AM | | For me it probably wasn't until I was in my late teens to early 2os. I began to develop when I was in the sixth grade. Being somewhat of a tomboy I didn't like it and was embarrassed by it. I wore bigger clothes ,and ,didn't get a bra till my mom and my sister sat me down and told me I needed one. It was not until I was in college that I began to wear sexy clothes and showing my body. As far as it diminishing...heck no...hasn't happened! | |

| Ladies, At What Age Did You Realize................ Posted: 8/18/2007 10:13:38 AM | when they formed a line to get my number
ahhhh
even better was when they cleared a path and held the door open for me as i exited the restaurant and stared at me in adoration awe...they formed a line on both sides out the door as i passed by...think of it as jesus entering jerusalem on palm sunday or sir walter raleigh putting his cloak over the ditch so the lady wouldn't get her feet dirty...think of it as the procession of the blessed sacrament and they all curtsied/bowed a little as i walked by
what fun! that's power baby!
those were the days
ahhhhh
(...that's what i call respect/honor...if they got on their knees to inspect my footprint it would be worship)

| Ladies, At What Age Did You Realize................ Posted: 8/18/2007 6:28:16 PM | but with the right lighting and a fellow with poor eyesight, I got it going on. That must be the secret to it all. My own eyesight may be going downhill but I have to say that "the twins" have yet to make the acquantance of my knees.

I was 11. Please don't tell. | |

| Ladies, At What Age Did You Realize................ Posted: 8/19/2007 3:40:47 AM | I think since about 10 when I first started getting my boobies. I was the only girl in the 5th grade to actually have a shape to her body, needless to say I did have the boys doing exactly what I told them to do.
Even now I still use it. I am not mean with it, it is just part of my personality. Some people say I have the X factor. I attract like a magnet everywhere I go. I flirt seriously in public, tho it is tasteful flirting. I seem to have this way of not only getting a drink from a guy, whether drunk or sober, for not only me, but all my friends as well. The trouble is, I am way too fussy to be in a relationship with any of these men.
It is not just your body that attracts men, it is how you are. If you are confident, know what you want, you will get it.
I am 35, I get approached by men as young as 18 and as old as 60 when I am out. Men see me, I wink at them, they offer to buy me a drink, I accept. Then I ask them politely if they wouldn't mind buying a drink for my friends. That is how it is done, the body needs the brains to guide it.
As for diminishing, my mind is very sharp and is always switched on. I don't ever drink enough to get drunk and I always flirt. Most men will like this because all men like attention, especially a woman who winks at them, or even simply smiles at them. | |

Posted: 8/19/2007 4:50:11 AM | I'd say high school...and yes, I did test it...I wouldn't say the power has diminished...I would say I've grown as a person on the inside...I prefer a man who digs my brain...he'll be the lucky dude who gets my body | |

ladies, at what age did you realize you had this power over men with your bodies? .....When my boobies began to grow, and guy's started talking to them. It was at this time in my life that I realized something. "I have one of these, and with one of these, I can get as many of those as I want". I wouldn't say this power has diminished, though I would say I am a lot more particular when meeting men. If they cannot talk to my face, then off with their head! | |

~OP~ All kidding aside, you've got to be kidding? I can only answer for me, but I certainly don't feel "powerful" because am I a woman rather than a man. There is nothing unusually special about me ~ other than I'm uniquely me. Likewise, I don't find beautiful men powerful in ways other men aren't. I agree with verygreeneyez. I recognised that men would stare sometimes or whistle or make comments and it didn't ever feel like power, it felt terrifying to me. Maybe because I was used to only getting negative comments from bullying schoolgirls at one stage so I would just assume that all comments and attention could only be bad. But I've never wanted to have power over people -- I see it as a huge responsibility and something to be avoided. I like that my special someone thinks I'm cute, but that's not power, because I think he's very cute too. I'd definitely rather that no-one else notice me in that way at all so I wear scruffy baggy clothes and I think I'm fairly invisible in that way these days. If I found I had any such power I'd consider it my responsibility to not risk it having an influence. Manipulation is disrespect... | |

| Ladies, At What Age Did You Realize................ Posted: 8/19/2007 9:55:41 AM | I developed early ...physically....so I was about 15 when I started noticing that guys way older than me were paying attention to me. I never "used" it until i was 17 and became a professional at using it by the time i was 18. Then i had my baby and the whole power thing took a HUGE backseat. Has ever since. I know i still have it. But i dont need to use it. But its nice to know you still got it  | |
