Not true. I am 70 this year. I have never noticed men looking at me in a sexual way. Then, again, I have never noticed men looking at me. Probably because it has never occurred to me that men can be interested in me. It's a concept that I find bewildering.

I do recall about 25 years ago, going with my boss's daughter to a ultra posh shopping centre, and after about 10 minutes of walking, she said to me, "My god, Tessa, all the men keep looking at you." I certainly didn't notice.

That said, I had terrible sexual harassment at work, and I have never understood the things men say to me. I find men to be completely bizarre, and as a result of their behaviour towards me, I started trembling every time a man was within a yard of me. It took me a long time to get over that.

These days I avoid men completely. I don't want anything to do with them. They appear to be completely incapable of talking to me without having sex on the brain.

That said, online, during the past 15 years, I have made a few dozen male friends, strictly as a result of an intellectual compatibility and my ethical standards. And, no, the one or two, who secretly yearned for me, were quickly blocked.

But have I noticed men looking at me sexually? Never. Obviously I'm dumb as dish water or something, or maybe, I just don't look at men. I've always been too busy thinking to notice people around me.
