Yet another good lesson in the book of, The Proper Way To Start A Thread.

This is for everyone who's not already familiar, not feelgood in particular.

You should really provide a good bit of background material, ESPECIALLY if you plan on us feeling bad for you. People's tendencies towards empathy are usually quite small when they see no reason to feel sorry for you- in this case, there is actually something of an argument to the contrary because of the lack of background info. Also, if you're going to reference something as ambiguous as a "look", please explain so that we might better be able to help you.

From your post, and your additions along the way, I gather you do a lot of work and get nothing but leers and bullshit from your step-mom and step-sister. Maybe they feel you don't accept them. Maybe they don't accept you. Whatever you do, I don't think making snide commentary is something you want to do. The last thing you want is to give them ammunition.

Don't sink to their level. Just smile back, and not sarcastically. They'll either be killed by your kindness or wisen up to their bullshit. If they don't wisen up, you'll have the satisfaction that you are still a better person than they are.

Oh...

...and try not to let this type of thinking carry on. Stereotyping women in this way will only get you into trouble with women in the future, or may even prevent you from having a nice, healthy relationship with one. Just a thought. You ask for advice, I deliver.

Best of luck, let us know.
