Lies all lies

Since my time in Italy something has been brought to my attention or in this case my lack of attention. All girls before arriving to the country receive a stern warning of forward Italian men and to watch out. Then after the warning people look at me and say especially you because of that blonde hair. Well, either I am the ugliest person walking around Siena or Italy for that matter OR the forward Italian men thing is all a lie. Now I do realize 1) I am a foreigner 2) I look like I don't belong 3) wear a lame backpack everywhere and 4) lack designer clothing but still. For how much everyone was telling me to be careful I am a little disappointed. Ciao bella is directed my way on a rare occasion. I even smile at everyone as I walk by and day after day I get unresponsive or looks of disgust. This has led me to my conclusion of my complete and utter ugliness and that people have exaggerated about the flirty local men. Its definitely a combination of both. But I do think people need to calm down the talk of overly forward Italian men because its just not true. The end.
