I noticed men keep staring my boyfriend down when we're out together and I don't know why?

[DermalPunch]

So, for reasons my partner and I never went out in public but we do now. Anyway, I just noticed that dudes were just staring down my boyfriend a lot and just hardcore watching us both. There is an age difference but really you can't tell at all since I look way younger than my age so I know it isn't that. Actually, we were on his motorcycle and the police stopped us about my bag hanging out and they got our attention by yelling "hey kids".

I'm not one for the PDA but he insisted we hold hands which was nice I guess but still not my thing.

[NathanDavis]

some people just do that...

or maybe, if they were busy crowded streets... they are measuring you two up, to see if they can rob you or not, or pickpocket, lol

I would get that a lot, but in my case it was quick... "nope, not this one"

[DermalPunch]

Okkkkay. No it was a busy promenade where families gather for fun.

[NathanDavis]

then maybe you were just new to everyone else there that is more familiar with the families that gather over there fun more regularly... you were knew to this right?

[DermalPunch]

No everyone in the city goes there. It's probably the most popular gathering place in the city.

[NathanDavis]

okay okay...

let me try another, how about

you were looking so young and so hot, that all other men there were like "wow, what does he have that I do not, how did he get so lucky... seriously I need to see what he's got"

[DermalPunch]

Haha. Nice try.

[NathanDavis]

dozens of possibilities... I have another guess

what if he has one of those faces... that look familiar to everyone, so people feel like they've seen him before, maybe somewhat famous, maybe a distant cousin, or an old school friend, an old neighbor

so they're all feeling and wondering if they know him, have met him before... "hmm, where I have seen that guy before?"

there are people who have faces like that, lol

[DermalPunch]

Lol. No they were glaring at him trying to catch his eyes and following him with their eyes. He was just ignoring them. Then he wanted to hold my hand. I hate that stuff but whatever.

[NathanDavis]

what does he do for a living?

maybe they were all angry clients that recognized him, lmao

[DermalPunch]

I dunno. He knows a ton of people maybe they knew him.

[msc545]

Difficult to know why. Just ignore it.

[DermalPunch]

I eventually did

[Pyro30]

It is simple they r jealous think nothing of it. a lot of men see a guy with a beautiful girl and they want that girl for themselves it is intimidation ignore it don't make contact kiss him on the lips as pda will make them uncomfortable and turn away

[CrazyGirl2]

Maybe he just has one of those faces?

[d3n0939]

can you elaborate

[CrazyGirl2]

@d3n0939 Not really, no. Some people just have a face you immediately don’t like.

[d3n0939]

like rbf and conceited

[DermalPunch]

No, he is a very well liked individual lol

[Andres77]

What do you both look like?

[DermalPunch]

Well he's olive skinned dark hair North African. Me I'm black American.

[DermalPunch]

But I mean me. being black isn't an issue. We're in Africa.

[Andres77]

Ok, I’m out of my depth there. I've never been to North Africa and have no opinion that I can support,
I’m sorry you have to deal with this.
I hope you can find peace in this somehow.

[DermalPunch]

I'm at peace. Just curious as to why they were so bloody curious.

[Andres77]

Is it curious or just rude?

[DermalPunch]

Well staring isn't rude here. It's just they see us and they're eyes just follow him.

[DermalPunch]

I told him that all these men keep staring at you and he found it funny.

[Andres77]

Are there lots of gay guys there?

[Andres77]

Are they all checking him out?

[Andres77]

I have a few stories about that

[Andres77]

Could you follow me?

[DermalPunch]

No this isn't a gay thing.

[Andres77]

I’ve put myself in some awkward situations…

[Andres77]

Just trying to figure it out

[DermalPunch]

I don't want to DM on here. It's a blanket policy.

[Andres77]

Fair enough.
No worries.

[slatyb]

Probably they are interested in you.
