I've considered that. But no. I don't think that at all
I can't help how I look and I can't help it if someone doesn't trust their man. But they need not worry about me. I'm not the problem.
It may be hard to accept for some people but being attractive isn't all it's cracked up to be and can ( and is) fraught with all sorts of negative judgments, assumptions, etc, just like looking any other way is. I'm simply expressing my frustration with it (hence the snarky subtitle).

Regarding the subtitle, it seems it requires more explanation than it should. It, as I said, is intentionally snarky. It highlights the utter absurdity of the assumptions listed above and the behaviour of some women based on them. For example, if I'm in a grocery store buying peas and a man comes over and grabs a bag of peas and says hello, there's no reason for his wife or whatever to grab him by the arm, pull him away and give me a death glare. That's ridiculous and has nothing to do with me. In those situations, I feel like saying something equally as ridiculous, like the subtitle. It's absurd on 2 levels, first regardless of how I look or any vibe you or anyone may wish to ascribe to me, I do not have the power to force a man into my bed. Men are perfectly capable of resisting temptation and of being faithful. If you can't trust yours, that's on you or him. Second, I'm just not like that. If anything, I'm socially awkward
Oh, and I don't go looking for men. There have only been a total of 3 ever in my bed in my life. It's not like I'm collecting fellas over here. But hey, make a stupid assumption, expect me to respond in kind.

That said, your assumption of my so called vibe and what you (incorrectly) think I think proves my point, so thank you for that.
