Question!

For those who've met me in person:

Why do boys in their 20's and 30's like to talk to me a lot? I'm not complaining, heavens no, I LOVE IT. I'm just puzzled. Got a kid in tow, who sings constantly, goofy hair, and not posessed of slimness.

Anyone?

Y'know, it occurs to me that this might be considered the logical analog of what often happens to talented male creators. Nobody ever asks too many questions when creative, energetic male creators are surrounded by gawping females. Maybe you're just demonstrating that there is a comparable analog for women; that a creative, original talent such as your own can be every bit as attractive to men as a nice body or a pretty face, and certainly lasts longer.

They grouse a lot, the only questions asked are "Why him?" and "Why not me?"
Because there's certainly some male creators I'd not call physically attractive, but boy are they charisma cubed! Hell, I find Penn Jillette sexy, and even he allows that he's a fat ugly guy.
