I'm talking about everyday life, not a bar or a party.

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

[jonahbona]

why wouldn't you want an attractive guy to talk to you?

[Киттйлинк]

@jonahbona 😧😐... cause I’m too shy I’ll be alone forever lol 😂 that’s awful!

[jonahbona]

haha. you'll get over your shyness, just put yourself out there

[Киттйлинк]

@jonahbona no I i doubt it... so... 😭😭

[jonahbona]

I got over mine

[jonahbona]

(well not completely, but for the most part)

[Киттйлинк]

@jonahbona immweird though! I think I’ll be weird forever! Lol it’s sctually sad unless I find another weird like me haha

[rutgerhauer]

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]

In a very outgoing mood, I do.

[ILoveAnime]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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.

[cavmanier]

I don't think I stare long enough for people to notice if I'm looking.

[ghostqueen]

Hell no, hot strangers make me nervous enough. I'd rather my ogling go unnoticed.

[lightbulb27]

It depends honestly.
There are some I look and smile first, There are some that are intimidating beautiful and I have not conquired that... but I want to... that's a me thing.

[Anonymous]

Oh, yes, definitely. And I make sure she sees me smile at her.

[IlyaTheImpaler]

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]

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

[pumaOH24]

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.

[On_the_other_hand]

Yeah it is called making eye contact... or ass contact lol.

[princessfromjupiter]

Yes but I never smile at strangers, even attractive ones lol I just stare back at them with my resting bitch face until they get scared and look away

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I have no shame. I'd keep staring (and maybe smiling) even if they caught me.

[slatyb]

If I notice an attractive woman and she looks back I just give a nod to acknowledge the contact.

[BeingSingleSucks]

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.

[Cowboy6666]

If you are attractive I would give you a smile or a wink ;)

[SG_04]

I normally shrug at them or give them a nasty look lmao
