Wow, other than choice "d.", that sums up my experiences pretty well! I did have one woman approach me and ask me if I realized how ugly I looked... That was a mite offputting.

On Public Radio this evening I heard a story about a 46 year old fellow from Auburn named Mark who decided to wear a Superman suit around after his wife died. In a way, his adventures reminded me of wearing a kilt. At one point the interviewer sheepishly followed him into a bar to see what sort of reaction it would drum up. I recall that 4 of the first six questions Superman fielded pertained to whether or not he was augmenting his genetalia with a sock. Reminded me of the obligatory what-ya-wearing-under-yer-kilt question.

It as an interesting segment about being different.
