Advice: Thoughts On An Awkward Moment Between A Male & Female

Photo Credit: https://awesomegang.com/leslie-jasper/ Hello Everyone! How are you focusing your energy on your Friday morning!? It was very hazardous getting in to work this morning! UGH! It snowed then rained like crazy so it's a sleet/rain puddle mess this morning!! I was never a fan of snow ever! It's only pretty if you can drink spiked hot cocoa and stare out the window and not do shit. Sorry for bitching about the weather, my friend. A goal of mine is to retire in a warmer climate. I used to work in this weather when I worked with the tools. I didn't mind it so much when I was younger. The older I get, the more the cold impacts me. I used to dance in the trench with raingear on and boots and sing inappropriate songs with my partner while spinning 4" rigid conduit or 4" PVC pipe install. Rainy days like today remind me of my years of working on railroad platforms. There is nothing quite like lying on your back on the rocks on a piece of plywood under a train platform spinning rigid with the Hudson River only feet away in February. Probably the coldest work experience to have...LOL! Those were the good 'ole days! I talk about some of my railroad adventures in my podcast. Thanks a million in advance for supporting my son John's "Call To Action Marketing" (hashtag #CTAMarketing) business! Please connect with him on his social media that is under his name. Now, for this blog post, I shared some more big sister advice. This advice is on the subject of dealing with creepy and awkward men. I'm a girl who can definitely handle my own. However, I'm not exempt from dealing with pushy ass men. I feel like Manhattan is the epicenter of creepy, very forward dudes who cat call and try to aggressively pick up women. I'm usually polite and keep it moving. Years ago, I had a dude in a night club come up behind me and grabbed my ass cheeks with both hands and squeezed hard! He dug his fingers into the muscle of my backside. I immediately applied my elbow to his stomach with full force. He dropped down to the ground on his knees while holding his stomach. My close friend was dancing with me and she had a look of shock and gasped while holding her hand over her mouth when it happened. At first, she didn't understand why I dropped him. I explained to her that he dug into my ass muscle with his fingers. He came around about 30-minutes later and apologized. I accepted the apology and told him to be careful of doing that in the future. You have no idea of what a woman is capable of doing. I hit him absolutely perfect in his midsection! That incident was the source of quite a few years of laughs with my friend. Have you dealt with a creepy guy who has not taken "no" for an answer? If so, how did you deal with it? I'd love to hear your feedback in the comment section. The crazier story the better!! :P Without further ado, go ahead and read this posed question and my response down in the comment section below: POSED QUESTION: "What does it mean when a random guy says 'im not going to hit on you'? After he makes very awkward and short eye contact while I was walking past him. I was just tryna pass but he kept looking at me and wouldnt let me pass normally, he said it 2times" -By Anan J MY RESPONSE: "That creep is checking your response to his inquiry. Since you didn't smile, play with your hair, giggle, or give any indication of mutual interest with his 1st try, he checked it again for a 2nd try. His approach is rather foul when he resorts to a passive aggressive form of intimidation with his 3rd try. That's so New York of him. 😜 That was his weird way of communicating his displeasure with you for not giving him the attention that he was seeking. Somewhere along his life path, he learned that intimidation will get him what he desires= no proper house training. I'm glad for you that you managed to successfully get out of that awkward situation. Truth be told, the creep was super dehydrated and very thirsty for you. May you successfully dodge that creep in the future. #ConstructionTales #VerballyDisastrous” -By Leslie M.

S#2, Ep. #48: Part B- Juggling Motherhood & Working With The Tools on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wO8nXSRw7sU I recently shared my latest short story that has been loaded up to my Construction Tales-Told By A Woman Kindle Vella Library on Amazon. This is short story #11 entitled, "Juggling Motherhood & Working With The Tools". This short story covers my life as a widowed, single mother in the era when I juggled both motherhood and my career as a journeywoman electrician. I share the various challenges I faced and lessons learned along the way. The previous short story is entitled: #10: "Early Life Lessons & Characters To Meet As An Apprentice". I decided to write about some life lessons such as guarding your personal information, managing nasty rumors, combating sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism. Overall, the construction culture has improved dramatically over the past 25-years. Developing both a thick skin and a sharp tongue are key tools needed to survive various jobsite antics. I hope you learn something from this short story. There are more to come. These short stories are now also available as Verbally Disastrous podcast episodes.
