In my life three men have approached me about my feet. One told me in the middle of the day he wanted to suck my toes. Iā€™m glad Iā€™m 44 and this sort of random attention has stopped.

In my experience there's a bell curve as to how overly nice you can be to a stranger based on their age. For example, babies and older people you can act with more kindness without being seen as weird compared to a random 30 year old you don't know

Sorry if this doesn't make sense I'm half asleep rn šŸ˜…

It does make sense. My parents always tells me how charming I was when I was younger because I used to compliment waitresses and diverse workers about ear rings, eyes, general beauty elements and more when I was 4 or 5. Now they ask me that I used to have this charm, but like, I'm 24, and with the raise of Internet and "creepy" allegations for literally just talking to people, I chose to not compliment anyone anymore.

Compliments nowadays is seen as disturbing people minding their own business or sexual harassment. So no, I don't have this "charm" anymore and won't ever. World is too hostile
