Why do men always look like they are on the prowl or preying on women?

Question

I'm an attractive woman so I get a lot of attention from men and women everywhere (not to sound conceited) but most men I see checking me out almost look like hungry wolves and it scares me. Like they act/walk slowly, they get quiet and serious, they stare without smiling, they follow around a bit, and they're eyes do this this weird smoldering thing. Now Im not tryna to generalize cause I know this is not all men cause others smile at me and go about their way or try to talk to me but why are majority of men like this when they see a pretty woman? Is it like a primal thing or something?

It's called primal attraction and it's a good thing, men's brains turn off usually when they are attracted like guys that get all stupid when they look at a woman's chest. Men are visual, so they tend to seek with their eyes and naturally they are hunters and women in a sense are the prey, it's like a mating hunt their on. The lack of social skills they have during this event is like what @farscryer0 said, happens in the brain, so they creepy stalking thing is natural to all men that are unsocialized in a woman's world, women mate or find mates by way of social integration, they are community based souls that come together to find suitable mates for procreation, like when women tend to travel in pacts to go out on a social event, they are not necessarily trying to get lucky and find the one but they are hopeful. There is safety in groups. Anyway back to the social thing, women mate by way of flirting, talking, looking pretty and competing for the best mate against other women. You understand the female socialize world and would think most guys would to, but your mistaken guys are solitary animals, if they have been socialized they may have close ties to females or have studied it, it's not a natural predisposition of men to be any less than carnivorous solitary hunters on the prowl seeking to procreate a viable female, genes seek out genes. If it turns you on that's because a dominant male acts the same way, he stares you down and you get both excited and scared, and hopefully he chooses to excite you. Now if he scares you in a creepy way beat him with a stiletto, and you're good he'll leave you alone.

Well two reasons really
1. Positive reinforcement. A lot of girls respond to this which reinforces it as a behavior. Mostly because of reason 2.
2. It's an expression that differentiates from a normal look with no intent. If random guys just smiled and waived at you you wouldn't think they were interested in you you'd just think they were being friendly. What other options do men have. The gaping mouth? Do you want us to gaze lovingly like some teenager staring at a poster. Guys do this weird hunter like gaze thing because it sends a signal of hey I'm paying attention to you in more than a casual way but at the same time I'm still composed. I agree it's not the best look but it's the best option we've got. I personally do it so subtly that I've yet to make anyone uncomfortable. I usually sprinkle in subtle eye contact without shifting from whatever I was doing. If I'm laughing and smiling I continue to laugh and smile with a little bit of a lingering gaze. I never stare and I try my best to erase any signs of aggression. Again it's not the best thing but what other options do we have. Would you rather we just leave you guessing?

I don't think I do that. Maybe if she's my girlfriend and I'm getting ready to tackle her after she gets me going.

Guessing a primal thing. Men are animals,,, well some are nice like me, but a lot are animals, horny all the time, fit the stereotype, and want to mate with you. Also, where do you go that you get these looks all the time? I get around and I don't see that happening much.

I'm sure some men are like that but not ALL men. I certainly don't act like that. I try to compose myself and treat people with dignity and worth regardless of their gender.

Maybe they're shy. They find you attractive but are too afraid to smile or introduce themselves to you. They probably don't mean to have a grumpy look on their face most people have that kind of look when intimidated.
