To think it is odd that...

[fisherking1]

a man in a flash car (black Porshe) pulled up along side me to chat about my dog. I am a fairly average woman in her 50s definitely more menopausal/frumpy then slythe looking. He was attractive similar age. It was an average surburban road in a bland town.

Why would anyone do that it felt very odd talking about his cockerpoo and grooming methods. I cut the conversation off as he wasn't going to!

Slythe? Wasn't that the reptile from ThunderCats?

Maybe he liked your dog?

But ask yourself this...would you ever stop your car to ask a man about a dog? I am wondering whether it was a distraction burglary or something crime related. Hopefully not a
'Baby Reindeer' scenario.

Sorry @fisherking1 , but I'm confused. Admittedly, I've had a few beers, so my logic may be off, but my question is this:- suppose he just liked the cut of your jib and wanted to open a conversation. What would be so wrong with that? Isn't it an inoffensive opening to talk about what outwardly might be a common interest in dogs?

You weren't interested, so that's fine, but surely it's not an unfair opening gambit?

I get stopped every time I'm out with my dog and have had men screeching to a halt in the middle of the road before now and almost cornering me in the park etc (she's a very unusual breed around here).

It's really unsettling. Men don't think like we do, and don't see themselves as disturbing or anything, they just want the information we can provide.

Yes. He did swerve and brake suddenly. Maybe he fell for my dog. He's 9 and an average looking dog. I can't imagine doing it really I felt awkward, he was attractive maybe Danish and looked sophisticated in an Ingnar Bergman type way.

I had a French guy talk to me about my dog today in the market

He was obsessed ! But also probably practicing his English

He asked if she was a typical English dog. I said no, she's a Scottish Terrier (he looked baffled) so I said Ecossais terrier

He still looked baffled

Let's apply Beckham's razor for a minute here and think what is the most likely thing. He was probably just being nice, likes dogs, and thought he'd say something nice. Before all you lot go on about him being a burglar or a weirdo or something. Let people be nice for once!

*Ingmar
*lithe!

Won't Beckham mind?

@DonnaBanana Yes it was niceish but I doubt a woman would do the same.
