Does this happen to you?

[DishLady]

This one's for the older crowd (45+).

I'm talking to a guy and suddenly his smart watch starts going haywire, beeping once for him to breathe... then again for what I realized later was a heart rate warning.

It happens to me if I get into specific types of conversation and am talking fast (because I enjoy the topic, the company, etc.), but I laughed that it happened to this guy, who is always so composed.

Has this happened to anyone else? (The watch basically betraying your excitement in the moment even though you seem calm?)

[OlderAndWiser]

I'm not surprised that you have that effect on men! For two years, I dated a woman who wore a smart watch but she took it off when we got in bed, so maybe I had that effect on her, too, but the watch wasn't available to provide the evidence!

[DishLady]

OW, I’m v surprised by the fellow’s … watch.

Ah! Yeah you’re not meant to wear it during fun time. Hahaha.

[exitseven]

You DAWG you.

[DishLady]

@exitseven Hahaha. OW's sassy side comes out every once in a while.

[integrale77]

Mine doesn't beep but rather vibrates to inform me it's detected exercise has started

[DishLady]

But while you're just standing around talking?

[integrale77]

It has done if it detects any physical activity or heart rate increase

[DishLady]

Interesting.

[exitseven]

No, but I dated a girl that had a mood ring (look it up). One especially steamy night she looked at it and it had changed color. She had the documentation and it said that it meant "Charged with emotion".

[DishLady]

Mood ring? 😂

I know what they are. Had one as a kid and started testing it. If you just leave it on the windowsill in the winter it turns the "outraged" colors and then pop it on the radiator for the "highly emotional" color. It's just measuring body heat. (There's actual nail polish that does the same thing nowadays... tacky nostalgic trend.)

[HawkPerception]

You're a classy, refined, and elegant lady. You're bound to have that effect on guys regardless of the topic. Some topics just probably amplify the effects.

[worldscolide]

Unfortunately yes, not me though, my wife, mostly for heart rate, and when she pushes her self too hard, or when she gets upset.

[DishLady]

See that's when it's supposed to happen. Monitor the heart rate.

[Cidknee]

It was probably your wonderful laugh. Might wanna pull that feminine charm back a notch or two.

[CubaPirate]

Fortunately not lol

[stratford]

You must be driving him crazy lol

[DishLady]

I didn’t think I was! 😂

[stratford]

What were you wearing and what were you discussing?

[DishLady]

Nothing worth the fuss, tbh. He just walked up to me and we were talking calmly while on a short break. Our instructor was giving some instructions and I realized the guy’s intention was to dance with me… without asking… Just standing there assuming. So I joked and asked if he’d trip me up… and he smiled and said “yeah… will you?” And I laughed, “of course I will.”

Suddenly a blip, then another and a few more. Then the watch face went into blue swirls that I know (from my own watch) means “stop and breathe”!

I had thought he was getting calls… 😂

[stratford]

Did he have a tent in his pants too lol

[DishLady]

I made sure not to look, tbh.

[stratford]

You might have sent his heart into orbit if you did lol

[DishLady]

My goodness...

I think we were just surprised to see each other. I figured he'd stay on the opposite side of the room next to one of the young chippies.

[stratford]

Chippies?

[DishLady]

The flimsy "tits out" "pick me" sort of gal... thirsty.

[stratford]

Aaaah, I see.
I thought it was a party for English carpenters.

[DishLady]

Hahaha. No.

[stratford]

I assume you dress more conservatively and try to meet guys on an emotional level?

[DishLady]

Not super conservative, no, I dress to suit my figure and have good manners and posture and all that. Guys seem to like what they're looking at.

But I work with a lot of guys -- I'm the only gal in the office across three offices except for the secretary. So I don't wear the teeny dresses that cover less than a fig leaf. And I talk a little more directly at work, so in my down time I try to be softer, not kick-you-in-the-teeth direct.

Meanwhile, the gal who shows up with bedhead and her yoga top... isn't me. I'd never wear my gym clothes outside. And while I do pin my hair up for dance class, I don't look shabby and don't wear it clipped up once I finish class.

[stratford]

I'm sure the guys are all lusting after you...

[DishLady]

I very highly doubt it. We’ve all been around so for far too long for that to be a thing.

[DishLady]

*been around eo
