Love/Hate

I (30M) have gotten more attractive recently and I hate that people treat me better.

Brother, I am right there with you. I like it and I hate it, though. It shouldnโ€™t matter so much.

Just yesterday, I was in a very charming mood and mode, and the ticket counter woman at the airport was literally blushing (in a good way, I was not embarrassing her) while talking with her. I know she liked me by the way she looked at me the very moment I stepped up to the counter. I was barely saying anything substantive but was making direct eye contact, saying some lightly funny things, etc., and she was giggling like a schoolgirl and blushing. And she was extremely solicitous and helped me out for way longer than she needed to (no, again, this was not the usual โ€œcustomer service training.โ€ She absolutely did not treat the men ahead of me that way).

This 100% had no chance of happening four years ago. Then, she wouldnโ€™t have looked at me twice. Itโ€™s shocking how much better I get treated now.
