Why don't girls look at me when we walk past each other?

Question

I look at every girl I walk past and most the time they just stare straight ahead. I have been called good-looking, hot, handsome, cute, so is it something other than looks the reason why they ignore me? But, why none of the girls at me when we walk past each other? What can I do to attract them?

Wouldn't that be creepy?

For a girl to be staring at you?

...maybe it's creepy or uncomfortable for them to have you staring at them...

I know that when I don't look at someone while I'm passing them it just means that either I didn't even notice them, or that I was too busy (had something problematic to think about - stressed), or saw him from a distance and concluded he's not someone I want to encourage (when I can see a guy wants an ego boost) - the last one seems to happen a lot lately.

A guy is smug and narcissistic - keeps looking at me from afar and just waiting for that moment when I'm going to lock eyes with him, and I just don't want to give him the satisfaction - because I know he's going to take that as an invitation.

And - when I'm in a bad mood I usually just avoid anyone's eyes...-of the people I don't know. Mainly because I don't want to be rude and if they smile or something I won't smile-since I'm pissed off about something, so they might take it as a rude "rejection", when in fact I was just angry about something else.

Hope I helped

I would be intimidated if a really good looking guy was walking past me. I am shy deep down and have problem with making eye contact, so I probably would do the same thing look straight ahead as if I didn't see him. Also sometimes I naturally tune people out when I walk so sometimes I am not paying too much attention to the people whom are headed towards my direction and walking past me.

No, they check you out when you're not looking especially if  you are one of those guys who would wear the "I'm gonna punch someone in the face" expression. Plus they probably felt that if they stared at you long enough for you to catch them, they might think that you would find it "weird" or "creepy".

women are more subtle then men

if I'm glancing at people when I walk down the street, same..

but if I'm the phone, immersed in the convo, then look at her suddenly as we pass, I catch a few looking.

mostly context of situation with women man they like to be low key

I promote independence and male self-sufficiency, as well as a rejection of romantic relationships and marriage.

Men should focus on their own interests and goals, instead of depending on women for their happiness or success.

The fact that girls don't look at you when they walk past you could be a sign that they are not interested in you.

However, it is important to note that a lack of attention from women should not be viewed as a measure of your value as a person or your success in life.

Rather than seek validation from women through their attention, I advocate focusing on yourself and achieving your own goals.

Women can be a distraction to men and can prevent them from reaching their full potential.

Therefore, instead of seeking attention from women, I prefer to focus on my own development and personal growth.

In short, the lack of attention from women should not be seen as a problem, but rather as an opportunity to focus on yourself and achieving your own goals.

Um... I have a confession to make.  I am one of those girls that will stare straight ahead.  I'm not exactly sure why I do it.  I suppose it has something to do with being a bit shy and self concious, and not wanting to come accross as a wierdo.  I just tend to get uncomfortable looking people directly in the eyes.  It's a little too... close, I guess.

curiouschica · Answer

They probably find you intimidating...I mean if they look at you and don't smile, you'll think they're cold.  If they look at you and smile, you might figure out they like you (perhaps they are shy and wouldn't want you to know) or maybe you'll misinterpret their friendliness for attraction.  So it's easiest to just not look I guess.  Perhaps if you took the initiative and said hello or something, they'd reciprocate.  =)

Maybe they think you fancy yourself too much by how much you keep checking yoursel out in the mirror.

Beauty and attraction are subjective.

Women can be far more subtle as to if they are checking someone out.

Eyeing up a girl you find attractive is a more male thing to do and women don't tend to act the same way men do.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

Could be shyness, or just not in the mood at the moment to be social, or a variety of reasons. I know a lady who is real friendly but a lot of the time she avoids eye contact in public because a lot of guys take that to mean that she is open to conversation at the moment, and she isn't always up for talking to random people in public.

xJessicax · Answer

Well, depends on the personality of the girl. For example, I would look at you quickly simply because you are but others would feel shy. However, it could just be a case that they are too concentrated on getting to their destination and thinking to notice people looking at them...

likewoahhh · Answer

maybe cause they don't know you? i don't randomly stare/smile at a random guy that I don't know. maybe if you smile at me or something, I'll smile back. but other than that, it's just weird

Irisheyes08 · Answer

Well if you are goodlooking, hot, handsome, & cute just try not to look at the girls and just do your own thing. If a girl likes you, you will find out by hearing about it from others or her sharing looks with you.  Although if you like a girl make sure she knows your interested by asking her out or talking flirtatiously to her. Ask her out if you want and don't worry if you get rejected because it happens to ALL of us! Don't be afraid to take a chance! :-) Hope this helps and Goodluck!

raineydaygurl · Answer

getsome · Answer

If a good looking guy walks by I don't want to be looking at them,or I might get embaresed looking cus there so hot.

Bethany22 · Answer

Walking past people is awkward. Maybe they don't realize you're staring at them, and they're trying to hide the fact that they like you by just staring straight ahead.

rabbitzzz · Answer

You might have good looks. But be a man and talk to the girl you like, respectfully, if the response is warm continue, if it's cold back off.

Ps. I am not man enough to go approach a girl. But I am thinking of doing it.

thattssitt · Answer

Why would they? It’s so strange to stare at a stranger, isn’t it? If you aren’t Brad pitt, they don’t

gummybear888 · Answer

you might be good looking but not approachable? that's just one possible answer.

Anonymous · Answer

when I walk past a hot guy I stare straight at him, catch the moment till he walks past me and I never see him again. so I don't know, maybe the girl is just shy

Anonymous · Answer

Maybe stop staring at girls when you see them or walk past them. That's really weird and uncomfortable.

I guess they want to draw attention because they are taken and don’t want to be bothered
