I used to work in an office where more than 90 percent of the staff were female and there were more than a few that said things "I wish I had your legs" or "how do you get legs like THAT ?" and even a few of the guys asked me how one gets such ripped calves.

(I was on track to be riding nearly 10,000 miles that year).

Now I work as a bike messenger and if I thought my legs were in good shape then...

I was in the elevator the other day with a guy and a nice looking woman (a little older than me) and the guy said "man...you must be cold" and I jokingly said that if I was showing some leg it couldn't be that cold...

He defensively said "I don't notice such things" and as he and the lady stepped out of the elevator the woman smiles and says... "I did".



This happened again the other day when I was making some small talk with some ladies I had never seen on my morning runs... I said that since this was the first time we had met they could not possibly know how I liked my coffee but that I'd be here everyday at about 10:45...

One of them smiled and said... I hope this isn't the last time we meet.

I am sure I am nearly old enough to have been this young ladies father !

But I wasn't offended.
