My social experiment just backfired!

I decided to test Ding!'s advice, regarding skirts and heels.

For about a week and a half, i have worn skirts and heels on most occasions and for about 3 days i wore pants and heels. I was taking note of how men (of all ages) treated me. And i can honestly say, in a skirt and heels...guys treat me in a much more nicer/delicate way.

Other than the fact that a skirt makes me feel feminine and girly...i think guys might perceive that when a girl is wearing pants, that the girl wants to be treated as an equal and therefore, the guys treat the girl in pants in a different manner. While if you wear a skirt, they look at u as a delicate creature that is in need of their help...

In a skirt, guys constantly hold the door open for me...some have even run to the door to open it before i reached it. Strangely, some of those same guys neglect to say hello or open the door for me when im wearing pants.

Subsequently, i prefer wearing skirts at work now, as i get treated better. As for respect as an equal...the people who i want to respect me, already do so...im not out there trying to be an equal with any of the engineers and no one else does my job!

At which point did my "experiment" backfire?

I went to the bank today to withdraw the money to pay for my diamond ring. The teller was a cute Asian guy named Nick. As he was printing out my receipt something happened between him and the older lady teller beside him.

She said to him: "Dont give me that look! I'll get u later..."
He said: "What look? I dont even know what ur talking about." (Although, he was giving her this cheeky grin).

I said to him: "You have a cheeky look on ur face!"
He said: "What? No...and you cant get involved!"
She said: "You have a look, and there...u gave it again!"

*I chuckled*

He took the money out and gave me the receipt to sign...started counting the money for me...i interjected and said "its good that u can count to 10"...he gave that cheeky look and started counting louder and by the time he got to 3 lots of 10x $100 notes he said "30" to make a point...hahahaha...then he continued counting the $50 notes...

After he counted, he asked if i needed an envelope and if i needed a security escort?

I said: "Yes, an envelope would be nice and if you are offering a new service of escorting me, you are more than welcome to..."
He said: "How can i refuse that?!"
The lady teller: "What? What can't u refuse? And stop giving me that look!"
He said: "Escorting her out...im the security guy on the weekends, u know?"
hahahahaha

He said: "You are the first animated customer to come in today, that i've served."
I said: "Really?"
He said: "Yeah, everyone who comes in looks dull and boring, lifeless..."
I said: "Well, i work in an office all day and interact with people on the phone...so i know what boring is..."
He said: "I should come by your work then..."
I said: "I doubt you would have the opportunity to interact with me though..."
He said: "Why not? What do u do???"
I said: "Im a Network Administrator...and unless ur a company with a problem with ur network, you wouldnt interact with me."
He said: "Im an accountant, i'll find a way!"

*LoL*

Okay, the whole point was to say that i was wearing pants and this guy at the bank was flirting with me anyway. And the Salad Guy has always been nice to me irrespective of whether im wearing a pair of pants or a skirt. (I always wear heels, because im vertically challenged! haha)

And on the weekend...when i was out at the party and that friend of a friend was "getting to know me"...i was wearing pants then too...hmm...bugger!

And i need to refrain from using the word "bugger"!
