This is totally random and likely stupid.
Here's the "situation":
While i was on vacation in the DR (beautiful island, btw! love it, going back asap), you would of thought i was a celebrity..the way i was followed around by A LOT of the men working at the resort. I'm not tooting my own horn, believe me i'm so self conscious it's ridiculous - i'm whiter than a corpse, and by north american standards i'm considered plus size (ughh damn my mothers genetics/big hips)
But, It actually got to the point that the friends I went with were getting mad at me (as if i could help it, geesh) and it totally ranged in age, like i had older guys in manager positions proposing marriage to young maintenance guys stopping me when i walked by - even the entertainment team were hanging near by day and night. And i never knew how to react. I think i usually just walked away...fast.
my question: is this their job? (lol) are they SUPPOSED to hit on you to make you feel 'good' because you're a young white tourist? I could totally just be over analyzing this situation...And i've always wondered what the fascination with fair/light skin was... I would trade my pasty complexion for a wicked tan any day.
