I mentioned previously some of the effects of going from unattractive to moderately attractive. One that I didn't mention before, but that I am reminded of all the freaking time... People touch you. A lot. I've always been really bad with physical touch. I don't particularly like it, particularly from those I'm not intimately familiar with. So I noticed almost immediately when people started touching me. It didn't used to be a thing. I mean, handshakes of course, and the glancing brush when maneuvering in tight quarters. But never did anyone intentionally reach out and touch me just in casual conversation. Somewhere between three years ago and now people started touching me. Claps on the shoulder, touches on the upper arm, a pat on the knee. Playful whaps and such. Coworkers, friends-of-friends, people I've just met that night. Men and women, and generally without any overt sexual connotation. Except, of course, we're all primates, so it's always sexual, even when it isn't. Right?
