Spending a considerable amount of time in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, I've have many odd/funny encounters with strangers. I've seriously started cateloguing all the strange experiences for a book that I'll write when I retire.
I've had everything from black ladies running up along side me saying "I love those shoes so much, I should knock you on the head and take them" (!!!), to the typical "looking sharp/good/nice".
The comments are always appreciated. And I usually will engage in a little conversation with anyone who was so inclinded to say something nice to me unsolicited. The best conversations are with ladies who are in fashion. They always have interesting insights.
I Agree with Holdfast that white men will look, but won't say anything, for fear of being perceived as homosexual. That may be due to the fact that being in LA or SF, they probably presume I'm gay by not having a goatee, "dad" shorts, k-swiss shoes, and a T-shirt on.
