June 6, 2008- Why I feel bad for guys that have to commute and work in D.C.
I had to go to a client's office downtown yesterday. Though I used to work downtown a
few years ago, I travel there now very infrequently. Yesterday commuting into D.C., via the Metro, and walking its corporate
streets reminded me of why avoiding lustful thoughts on a nice summer day is damn near impossible there. When the weather gets
nice especially it seems like Satan and his minions, not to mention what Victoria's Secret and US Weekly tell women, have
a field day in helping us easily susceptible men fulfill some of our more tame, yet still equally damaging and dangerous, visual lustful wants.
I poke semi-fun at the whole process in my "Top 10 ways we guys "sneak a peek" of T&A on the Metro" but it isn't a laughing matter when you get serious about it. But gee freaking whiz, I do not know how a guy (or how I did it for that matter for 3 years) can go everyday through that kind of temptation riddled commute. I mean almost from the moment you get on the Metro, or at least once you hit the Ballston stop, summertime work-related T&A temptation seems to hit you from all sides. Girls in tight blouses and tops, short skirts, and all done up for their 10am meeting with upper management…geez. It gets worse when you get out and in the open air because movement accentuates all dem already attractive features. Ugg, no wonder male work productivity dropped when women started entering the workplace! I think some girls are just ignorant of how what they wear, and to a large extent its not what they wear but how they wear it (remember girls, whether you dress "to attract" or dress "attractively" says a lot about your heart's motives), but I do think there's a handful of girls that know they can reduce us men to a loaf of bread with their physical features and demeanor - and goodness sake I think they use that power to their full extent on and around the Metro. Add to the fact that girls almost always smell really good and you got a recipe for lust disaster on the Metro if you're in close proximity. I do not envy guys that have to do that commute into D.C. everyday. Along with the temptations of just riding the Metro, it can be even worse on the streets of D.C. So despite the fact that's it's a lot of fun to work downtown in many ways, the fact that I don't have to deal with bouncing this and firm that is a good thing, and a tradeoff that my *In the past whether right or wrong, too Pharisaical or not, I used to never look up some days while on the Metro. That just made me miserable. Some days I wouldn't wear my contacts and remove my glasses (I have terrible eyesight) the whole commute to and from the city, but that just wasn't fun because there's plenty of beautiful and/or amoral things I couldn't see along the way. |
