Let's talk about male gaze. Do girls like being looked at?

[Leos123]

Being a private person, I feel it's kind of invasive to look at someone intently. And I don't like it when someone's looking at me. So I can't stare at someone more than 1 second. But then. Male gaze seems to work with women. It's some clue they get if someone's interested with them. Do girls like being observed?

Yes

No

It depends

Honestly, it depends on the crowd that you/she is in. If a girl is on her own/in a crowd of mostly guys, being stared at (especially if by more than one guys) can feel intimidating and kinda scary - no matter how hot you are. If a girl is with a group of friends/in a completely mixed crowd of guys and girls, being stared at feels flattering and will probably make her feel quite special/attractive. That's just generally though, context is everything.

If I'm attracted to them, I don't mind.

Its annoying when its someone you don't care for and creepy if its someone older than me (say in their mid-40s or older).

It depends but it doesn't bother me one bit because I always gave back the coldest stare.

[Leos123]

LMAO. What happens then? Does it drive away guys?

[luvstoned4him]

@Leos123, usually they look away but I've met one or two creeps that smile when you stare back.

[Leos123]

But are there cases that when you like the stare, you return their gaze with a smile?

[luvstoned4him]

@Leos123 yes, when I like the person I tend to eye them down for a good 10 seconds.

They like it if you’re attractive.

[Leos123]

Women are strange creatures. They find it impolite if you don't return their gaze if they find you attractive.

I don't like it
