Why do men wave and honk at me from their cars?

[Anonymous]

i have a conventionally attractive body (which means my body type adheres pretty well to conventional beauty standards. I am 5'6" and i weigh 115lbs. not saying my body is attractive because my boobs are smaller than average) and i would rate my face as average. Sometimes if I'm walking somewhere or working in the yard or just getting in my car, honk or wave at me or break their necks to look at me while they're passing, yet i rarely get attention from men in the grocery store or anything like that. im not gonna lie i want a guy to talk to me so bad. i'm extremely lonely and always have been. i doubt anything would come being approached, but i still want it. why are they brave enough to wave and honk from their cars, but not brave enough to approach me?

You might be much prettier than you think. Guys can get put off when they get in front of a beautiful woman. You might try being forward and start talking to a guy when you see one.

[madhatters4]

because the reality is they aren't brave. it's just basically a catcall. i don't really know what the intent is, perhaps they think it's flattering, perhaps it's just an impulse

[BoopBoopBeep]

Maybe you don't look approachable? Hard to say not seeing how you normally carry yourself. If you look like you're in a bad mood very few men are going to approach you.

i get told i look sad a lot

[BoopBoopBeep]

Then there's your answer. Why would I go for you over the person two tables down that looks like she's having a good time? One, they're more likely to say yes, and two, moods are contagious. I, and many other men, have dated a woman who is always in a shite mood and frankly it's just exhausting, so yeah, in a room full of strangers I'm not talking to you.

[Asker]

but i'm not actually always sad it's just how my face is :(

[BoopBoopBeep]

That sucks, I hear ya, but that doesn't change anything when I walk in a room and have 15 seconds at best to assess who I'm going to talk to and in what order. Smile more? I don't know... tried different hair styles to look less sad?

The guys honking and waving from their cars are, generally, lower-class guys, who were generally raised with minimal morals and values. No man with good morals and values, or any amount of class, is going to do that.

Having said that, watch these videos, and try to have some appreciation of what men are up against.

They think it's a safe way to express attraction and be funny

I'm not sure why no one will approach you. That said, you can approach a guy and talk to them as well. It's ok in 2023. Take your happiness into your own hands and your loneliness will be gone.

[Asker]

I don't know about that. i find it difficult to know when someone's actually interested

[Friendlybro79]

That's because you haven't asked. Just talk to people you're an adult. You can do this and the worst case someone says no thank you. You can just start talking to someone to be friendly and see right away how it feels.

How has waiting for someone to approach you been working for you. If you do nothing differently then nothing new will happen.

Guys like to look st girls, especially attractive ones. You fit that category, whether you think so or not.

[AngryCarl2]

Usually it means they want to bone you. Of course I would never use my car horn in such an irresponsible way.

Maybe those guys are players and bad ones. Or you don't look approachable with your reactions. Or you may look gloomy.

5'6 and 115 lbs is a great fit body for a woman 👠👠!

Skinny fit.. isn't it?

How tall do you like men?

[Asker]

yes it has been described as svelte. height is not important i like men between 5'3" and 6'. i don't like them too tall or too short

[Opinion Owner]

Don't you think 5'3 is too short for a man and really shorter than you?

[Asker]

no not really

[Nikki1989]

Small minds. It is a male thing.

[Billlewis]

Um, because you're so gorgeous and sexy?

[Staximus]

Because they are chickens

[Asker]

depressing

[Staximus]

You don't want those guys who honk at you anyways, that's a dirt bag move

[Wise4myage]

You obviously have a very nice body.

[Anonymous]

Women do it to

[Asker]

i don't get why tho

[Opinion Owner]

It’s safe in a car they become more brave
