Do you let attractive strangers catch you staring at them?

Question

TarrAva · Accepted Answer

I never look at strangers more than a fraction of a second, just like I do with anyone else.

I solely assess a person when I look at them to see whether they represent a danger, whether it is a familiar face or if the person's looks are giving me confidence or not.

But above all, I never ever smile at a stranger should I be caught assessing him/her this 10th of a second. I keep a straight face as I usually do in the streets or on the public transportation.

I have come to realize that a smiling woman is sending a wrong signal, mainly to men who then think she finds them attractive or want something from them. Thus I keep a face as neutral as possible, trying not to show any facial expression that could be misinterpreted.

Haha that’s funny I do! But only if I know there’s no way he can talk to me... for example if I’m in a car and I see someone else in a different car and i thinkntheyre cute instate so they can see I’m interested lol but there’s no way you can start up a conversation lol 😂

If I’m in line waiting for something or st the mall etc etc.., and I see someone attractive I pretty much act like I’m not interested at all, cause once you look their way they come talk to you lol 😂 that’s Uncomfortable

I used to be quite shy in this situation, but I tried it once and she smiled back. Sadly she was too far down the train for us to have a conversation and we got off at different stations. But now I do it all the time... sometimes they smile back, sometimes they don't... either way, there's nothing to lose with a smile... :)

When I was very young in my teens and early 20s, I'd look away.
When I got older and more secure in my manhood and looks, I'd smile and let my eyes do the talking - I have blue almond-shaped eyes that women like.

PrincessGrail · Answer

In a very outgoing mood, I do.

ILoveAnime · Answer

I try not to but when it happens, I don't actually mind since more often than not we just keep staring at each other and it's a nice flirty thing to do, even if you don't mean it. And, I don't know if it's only me, but most times, I get a hold of myself and try to look away, when I look back they're staring at ME. I do get a little shy afterwards :)

FatherJack · Answer

I NEVER " check anyone out " , let alone stare and rarely smile , not on the lookout for a woman , lost interest , and also I'm a single dad & working FT so have enough to deal with , and simply too tired and stressed a lot of the time. Women generally do NOT like men eyeballing them.

s2firestar · Answer

I really... HONESTLY do not stare at people at all... I am generally recedeinto my own thoughts while outside, and I only lend enough 'processing power' to my eyes to not bump into people. Therefore I always look at the next waypoint where I am heading.

CubsterShura · Answer

NO GUU SHOULD GIVE INAPPROPRIATE STARES AT A GIRL. AND BEING ATTRACTIVE DOESN'T MEAN THAT HE CAN GET AWAY WITH BEING A PERV. Especially not with me.

A well-behaved guy is always appreciated even if he doesn't look good.

Phanta · Answer

Nobody knows whether or not I am attracted to them or whether or not I am attracted to someone else unless I tell them. People sometimes mistakenly think i'm attracted to them or someone else when I'm not.

IlyaTheImpaler · Answer

Yes, but not necessarily smiling, I just imagine her as my wife and how our kids will look, maybe I'd ask her about her career plan and how many kids she wants for a more elaborate fantasy

Pink1996 · Answer

I just ignore it because who knows why they are staring. Someone might just be zoned out. It depends on the situation.

pumaOH24 · Answer

I don’t stare. I glance or use my peripheral vision while looking.  In other words, I don’t make it overly obvious while doing it.

Sometimes I would stare at people with a strange look that were walking by me. Also I would be doing this the whole time walking past them. Quite a bit of people just never looked my way even a bit.
