I too had this inner monologue. In the end, fuck it, it's the sidewalk, I walked by it before it opened, I'll take a peek or two. What do you want me to do.

Now that was creepy. But it happened in LA. Figures.

Lastly, here's the real question...why are you walking passed a place, in the dark; staring at people, whom can't see you.
In closing, Seattle has become an entitled city, where you have to bare all to everyone, just to be allowed in the front gate. If you don't believe me, go into Whole Foods, looking like arse....and buy one thing. The employees will either embrace you, because they're better off, in life than you are; or so they suspect. They may do the other, and make you know that they are far more important to society, than to be stuck with you, and your one order.
The new philosophy is that, "Fine, we'll help you when you come into Whole Foods, but if you don't spend a certain amount of money, I won't be very helpful"....I've traveled the globe, left Seattle in 01', and recently went back. Wow, what an entitled mentality.
In case you don't understand what is going on in America, the Baby boomers enabled all the dysfunction, because they were too scared to deal with anything, or they felt guilty, because their trust fund parents gave them a bunch of stocks. I remember when it was "cool" to have a homeless person, sleeping in your alley. The people of Seattle enabled the street people....to mimic domestic pets. It's very Germanic, there in Seattle. I may move there ...ha!

..in my opinion.

2. I go to the budget gay gym on Yale and Stewart (the one where everyone looks like cardio galley slaves), and homeless dudes openly stare in the window, rub their stomachs and stick their tongues out. So, you know, there's another option.

We celebrate the individual right for women to wear pretty much anything they want but if you are doing hip-thrusts at a window facing the street in skintight clothing you are either obliviously naive or obnoxiously stupid. Which is your right, and awesome. But if you don't like the stares you do have some freedom to choose how you present yourself.

Also complaining about something that some women can never have but tragically are being mind-washed to believe they want is just tacky.

Could you possible expect someone to not look if you are naked? Can't fight instinct.

pps Greenlake is ripe with yoga pants ladies. You can't help but be creeping at all times there.

Go ahead and look for a few seconds-don't stare. If they see you looking, make eye contact, smile, then walk on. Too bad there's no outdoor cafe tables there to sit at and strike up a convo when they stroll out. "Hi, I'm Sherman Alexie."
