more vindication

As I was walking through the B1 level of my apartment building, where there are plenty of little restaurants, one of the restaurant ladies saw me and did a double-take.

"Are you dieting?" she asked.

I didn't understand her at first. "I'm sorry?" I said.

"Dieting. Are you dieting?" she asked again, and I understood her this time. I nodded yes but, like last time, I didn't explain things any further than that.

"You look as if you've lost a lot of weight," she said, and I thanked her.

Seems to me the ladies pay more attention than the men do.

  1. In my experience, women are generally more sensitive to such things than men are.

  2. I can't believe that any woman has ever looked at you and said, "You've gained/lost weight."
