How to deal with couples as an attractive woman?

[Anonymous]

It’s starting to get annoying but I always get weird reactions from couples. I’m not super hot but I’m plenty attractive and a single woman and couples always act so uncomfortable around me. I am not a home wrecker whatsoever and don’t even make eye contact and either the guy makes it weird or the girl makes it confrontational. I’m sick of it!

I was at the gym the other day and a couple worked out next to me. I didn’t even look at them but the girl was making it so weird and I remember looking up and she was looking right at me with the dirtiest look. Like, for what b*tch?

Ya that's super annoying, some couples can be so insecure. Try not to take it personally, it says more about them than you. When you're at the gym just focus on your own workout and don't make eye contact if someone's giving you a dirty look. Not much you can do about how other people act unfortunately. You could also try going at less busy times if big crowds tend to cause more issues. And don't be afraid to stand up for yourself if someone actually confronts you - just stay polite but firm that you're not doing anything wrong. Most importantly, stay confident in yourself! Don't let other people's attitudes bring you down. Just keep doing your thing and the right people won't make assumptions about you like that.

I’m not saying your experience never happens but probably not at the frequency you think. I know I’m guilty of making faces, even having RBF and I’m absolutely certain that women like you have seen me with my boyfriend and believed I’m insecure and looking at her a funny way, but that’s never the case because my relationship is solid. It’s quite possible that you’re overthinking these exchanges based off the few times you validly had a couple being weird around you.

Agreed. I have a friend who thinks everyone looks at her and thinks about her when we go out. I’ll be minding my own business and she’ll say “ this person just gave me this look because of this” “ This person thought this“
I have to constantly tell her that she’s overthinking and has no clue what others are thinking and to just enjoy our time together.

Even if its true you don't need to give your mind n energy to it. Focus on the weights which needs some lifting 🏋️
