First let me give you some background. I've been going to the gym in the mornings for a few months. One morning I met this old white man with white hair. Clearly, the amount of time he had been working out in the gym wasn't paying off because he still looked like he was hiding a few beach balls under his shirt. This old gentleman decided to confront me one day while working out. ( Let me just stop here and say that I could write a book on the STUPID things men use as conversation starters). He comes up to me and tells me how impressed he is with the ipod pocket built in to my shirt. He thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Me being a polite person simply just thanked him and hoped he would go on. NO! He keeps talking to me like we've known each other for years. He talks about this and that. My gosh. I must have a sign on my forehead that reads "Please tell me all about you. I'm dying to know". Then he tells me that he is a pastor at a church.
Ever since then I've tried to avoid him. Well, this morning I was not successful. He corners me. (Now it's imperative for my story that you keep in mind he told me he was a pastor, a man of God). So, he corners me and tells me, after eye raping me, that I was "looking good" and my body "figure" was looking really nice, all the while looking me up and down. "Shoot me now", those were my exact thoughts. I have grown accustomed to dirty men and their ways. It has always been the dirty minded filthy looking men that say crap like that. This time I was just so appalled that this PASTOR said that to me. I'm pretty sure if I didn't love God already that I would stay far away from church after that!
You know every time something like this happens to me I just sit back and thank GOD that I have a man who is old fashioned in the fact that he still treats women with respect. It is so sad that in today's society treating women with respect has become a thing of the past. I hate to see what men will be like in 5 years.
