Came here to say this. For some twisted fate reason, girls I've met have found it cute. But I'm so warped from being taunted about it as a kid that I found this fact difficult to accept so when a girl is giggling and smiling when I'm blocking, I took it as an insult for the longest. It wasn't until we got a little closer that she told me she loves it which I still have mixed feelings about. It's like telling a person with ALS you think it's cute they're in a wheel chair because it makes them vulnerable and such. Like I'm glad I could please you but this handicap fucks with my day to day.
