Guys won't look me in the eyes?

[So-Innocent]

I've noticed that guys don't look me in the eyes. It could be school, work, or just out shopping...and yet girls will look me in the eyes but not guys. Guys will either glance or not look me in the eyes at all.

Is this normal?

Or are the just trying to avoid looking directly into my eyes for a specific reason? Is it because guys are intimidated by me or is it because they think I'm ugly and they don't want to give me the idea that they're interested?

(I'm referring to young men 18-30 because I don't get this from older men)

[CountDove]

The sad fact is that this generation of young men haven't been raised with instructions on how to communicate socially. The increase of online social utilities has worsened this condition. Young men don't know how to properly interact amongst themselves, let alone members of the opposite gender. I could rant on and on about it, but let me console you by informing you that this is completely average (not normal, but average), and that this happens to other women and men who know how to carry themselves.

A word of advice: stay away from guys who are timid like this. It is the antithesis of masculinity. It is more than just a confidence issue. It is also a matter of respect to the other people. Eye contact and firm communication are a fundamental to communication, especially among men. I apologize for my timid, spineless, emasculated peers.

(I'm going to get so much hate, I can feel it now)...

[blooddragon]

Well I definitely don't agree with anything you just said. & that feeling of how much hate your gonna get is the feeling of vulnerability, that someone would read right through the lie you just put down.

i don't blame you though... I blame the new bullsh*t society that we live in... its supposeto be all about being nice & polite... get real, in all our minds there are hideous thoughts, these thoughts are discomforting & they linger beneath the surface. So b4 anyone rips on my answer again atlea-

[blooddragon]

St read what I wrote here.

it seems with every little thing I say my answer becomes more & more vivid to you simple oafs.

[blooddragon]

This is the internet & this is supposeto be where we can express ourselves truly... I'm not here to be nice or give anyone false hope.... that would be wrong. Obviously I'm not the same in person & I put on my good mask like everyone does. anyway I'm talking waaay too much I decided to leave a last comment to BrazilianGirl; how wrong do I seem now? yeeea suck it bitch!

[blooddragon]

& the age says 18-24 & that's what it f***ing means. so your a f***ing idiot for a: assuming it said 20 & b: assuming I'm 16..? soo nothing else more me on this page f*** off my questions & answers I didn't even ask for your input faggot

[chettah-two]

Whether you are ugly or not guys generally do not maintain eye contact...

MAYBE the reason is you can tell a persons emotions through their eyes, i.e you can tell if someone is scared, happy angry etc through their eyes. Meaning looking directly into the eye may expose one to his vulnerabilities.

As as result of society not allowing boys to show any vulnerabilty, we grow NOT to maintain eye contact, even when we feel the strongest.

[Reeses-pieces777]

I think it's because you're pretty probably & they are trying to be subtle about noticing that too. I have had guys look at me, then turn away when I noticed. it just means they're checking you out or admiring you like how you look. they could also be shy also.

[bnwsmile]

Maybe you have a booger in your nose or a huge chunk of something in your teeth? lol =P

[So-Innocent]

Lol Everyday?

Nah I make sure that kind of stuff doesn't happen because I get embarrassed easily.

[bnwsmile]

Ahh, Was trying to lighten you up a bit =) Perhaps they find you intriguing and you have incredible eyes that they don't want to get lost in!

[Justbug87]

Look for the guy that will you'll be able to tell more easly that he is interested

[essmac13]

I for one will always look at a girl while talking to her. If I am interested in a girl or trying to get to know her I will give her my undivided attention. No, I do not give her a dear in the headlights stare and I will not creep her out by staring down her pupils but I will look her in the eyes. I figure she deserves at least that much if she's spending time with me.

[muzeasd]

A real lates pic of yours can help alot. But I don't think it is just bcoz you are ugly. Soometimes I am really unlucky to get my problums fixed. So I blame myself. May be you too are unlucky to face such guys always, till now. So don't panic I think. Your time will come back for you again.

[blooddragon]

k so the blackkid is wrong, yet right.

looking a guy in the eye is kinda gay, however if we have a conflict it then becomes a way to intimidate the guy, showing him your the alpha male

with women, it is a sign of attraction, when a guy and girl lock eyes, if the guy were to turn around it would show a sign of weakness and dis-confidence, it shows the female you are no alpha-male. if she were to turn around 1st she would get an anxiety & through anxiety you can create flames if you know how

only time I break eye contact with a girl is when I gotta look down at her breasts

anyway back to your question... I'm sorry but since no guys want to look you in the eye, it must mean your an ugly f***ing bitch.

[sequinfanrple]

I can't believe you're 20..... what a pointless answer..... are you for real?

[blooddragon]

Hey I'm just telling it like I see it... if absolutely no guy wants to make eye contact with you... something is wrong. I don't make eye contact with girls whos looks don't gain my attention & if they hideously stand out I wouldn't make eye contact.

& I'm not 20... I just turned 18.

i'm reflecting off of my experience... I'm not gonna coat anything and try to bosst her confidence... maybe she's not ugly who knows...

know what your probably right sequinfanrple after thinking about it more thorough

[blooddragon]

-ly I could say maybe she's not ugly, I can tell she wouldn't peak my interest though.

i am kind of a shallow guy... she could be normal & not much normal girls peak my interest.

is every guy as shallow as me though?

how f***ing stupid do you feel now bitch?

[BrazilianGirl]

Wow your a pig. People like you in this society make me want to cry. You a complete and total idiot.

[So-Innocent]

:(

[muzeasd]

You should have omitted last two lines....otherwise I agree with you. Learn ,not to be stupid all the time.

[blooddragon]

The world isn't as perfect as you perceive it to be...

ofcourse I have girls that are friends that I don't find attractive & are like their other qualities, but that irrelative to my answer.

this girl says absolutely no guy wants to make eye contact with her... there must be a problem there, I cannot think of any other reason.

i am being kind of a d***, ill tone it down a bit but it doesn't change my conclusion what other reason can there be? if you have one please let me know.

[blooddragon]

Hell ill admit the last 2 lines were me being an idiot, however even though they were unnecessary, they don't change anything.

[essmac13]

Lol blooddragon needs to grow up. He trys to play like he's some bad ass but people shut him down two or three times during his rant and what does he do? lets see, he changes his answer from "your an ugly f***ing bitch" to "maybe she's not ugly" right after sequinfanrple owned him. Then he makes a fool of himself and says "how f***ing stupid do you feel now bitch?" then he gets humiliated by BrazillianGirl and he runs back to his corner and says "ill tone it down a bit"

[essmac13]

Then finallly muzeasd tells him to learn not to be stupid all the time and he says " the last 2 lines were me being an idiot" and in closing to my essay I'll prove this theory by predicting his next move. He will now respond to me with his failing attempts to insult me by vulgarity and unintelligence. His profile says he's 20, he claims 18, which in itself tells you he's 16. His only goal is to asspire to being a black rap artist, at least there he won't need to use proper grammar. SIT DOWN BITCH

[essmac13]

DISCLAIMER: I was in no way intending to degrade the black people nor make reference to them using bad grammar. My best friend is black and I only chose those words because most Rap artists are of that ethnicity. There are stupid people in every race from whites to blacks and everything in between. Legend has it there are even stupid people in the mythical blooddragon race. Maybe someday we will have the pleasure of speaking to a blooddragon and determine the authenticity of this legend.

[blooddragon]

Well no essmac actually I stick to my point I still think if no guy wants to make eye contact there can only be 1 possible answer no matter how "mean" you think I'm being & I was just giving my opinion I don't need to log on to my profile a month after not being online & see all my genius sh*t being insulted by some fag too busy watching what I'm doing to even form an opinion.i not only formed an opinion essmac, but my opinion good opinion formed an argument & I feel I've proved my point in it

[blooddragon]

So you can talk sh*t all day but considering you can't even form a thought about the question or find something better to do with your time tells me that you should just go suck it. oh & ill bite... since your sooo f***ing smart essmac, why the f*** would a girl not be able to make eye contact with a guy if she isn't blind or ugly as hell? ...yea that's what I thought. SUCK IT BITCH!

[blooddragon]

& the age says 18-24 & that's what it f***ing means. so your a f***ing idiot for a: assuming it said 20 & b: assuming I'm 16..? soo nothing else more me on this page f*** off my questions & answers I didn't even ask for your input faggot

[blooddragon]

Ok essmac you wanna test my knowledge? think about this... imagine a guy, cares enough about the way he looks & is kinda fat/skinny so what's he gonna do for the ladies? he's gonna either slim down or bulk up.

now imagine a girl, fat or skinny. If you tell her, its wrong? your a d***? if course all the guys friends are gonna tear him apart for it because its funny as hell. & its wrong to do that to a girl? why? oh yea... because you got to treat ALL women with courtesy...

[blooddragon]

B/c there all gentle weak creatures, meaning there not even equal. Guys don't give a f*** what you would do to a rabbit or anything really, why would they care how you treat a fat or ugly chick? a beautiful girl however, one that a guy has his eye on is a beautiful object... that needs to be handled with care & needs to believe you are like her otherwise you hav no chance. why though...cause you'll look like a pig?

no f*** you I'm a guy on the internet being real accept it you're dum as f***

[Dan2287]

Your not ugly - I'm incredibly shy and I don't look at women in the eyes because I'm intimidated and don't want to creep them out. The more attractive the woman, the harder it is for me

[Blackkid]

That is a socially conditioned attribute. Males do not look males in the eyes when talking either, and females do, locking eyes is a symbol of attraction in this society.

[Cartiphilus]

You must have really big boobs and so strikingly hot they are intimidated by you.

[muzeasd]

Lol....if so, then guys should look back into eyes again. But this is not the case here.

[Anonymous]

Because they didn't like you. But you will find a good boyfriend.

[tigerguy]

hey are prob afraid of what you might think
