As someone who is a late bloomer there is definitely benefits but also realized that I am almost always going to be the center of attention a lot of places I go

It’s not fun being in a coffeeshop and having middle age women blatantly stare at you and jockey to sit uncomfortably close. I’ve even had a few touch me without even speaking to me

I’m fortunate in that I don’t feel like my life is in danger but sometimes I just want to be left alone and yet if I go places I have to deal with the fact that eyes are on me and I’ll be approached when I don’t want to

It's easy to make yourself ugly if you wish so. Just wear weird clothes.
Heh Heh Heh

Depending on your tolerance, this might be interesting to try out sometime:

Probably not in a location you're known though, and maybe not where people might react dangerously. :)
