Why do so many men act weird towards me in public?

[Caribbabe12]

I could be shopping, at a restaurant or somewhere recreational by myself or with friends. A good amount of men act im doing something when I'm literally just minding my business Lol. they act surprised or bewildered. I dont get it.

[DishLady]

Bewildered? That's odd.

Surprised... tbh, some guys look surprised when they see something or someone they like. "Deer in the headlights" is what we used to call it. It seems a little silly, but it's just that you are pretty and caught them off guard.

[Caribbabe12]

Maybe i live in Florida sometimes i think it might be racially motivated

[DishLady]

Ugh... it's not you, it's florida. The guys get sun stroke too easily.

Can't say I've experienced this. Maybe you became aware of a few and now subconsciously think it is many of them. I dunno.

[Caribbabe12]

That’s a pretty good take but even when I got a friends, they notice it

[Caribbabe12]

Go out with friends*

[Abbycado]

I couldn't say then. I go to school with 50k students on campus and have never had anyone act weird that I noticed and I interact with a lot of people.

[Caribbabe12]

Thats a lot of people. I usually don’t have the same experience at work or at school (college courses) I feel like people are on their best behavior compared to the open public, but I could be wrong

[Abbycado]

I'd agree with you on that. You don't want a reputation on campus when you are going to likely be bumping into a lot of the same people over and over, even at a big school like mine.

It's amazing how many of the same people I see over and over at such a huge university.

I’m not understanding the question. If they are leaving you alone they are just being normal. If they are trying to get your attention or seem interested in you it’s because they think you’re attractive.

[Caribbabe12]

common example: let’s say I’m in line waiting to pay for something they could be chill, calm and talkative with multiple people in front of me but then when I get there, they look like they’ve seen a ghost and act just weird lol

[BruceWayne32123]

Hmmm yeah that is strange. I’m not sure why. I’m pretty sure if I saw you in public I would be able to act normal.

[Caribbabe12]

Because you’re probably normal lol

[BruceWayne32123]

Jury is still out on that one

[Caribbabe12]

Reasonably then lol

[BruceWayne32123]

😂😂 hope guys start acting more normal for you

[Caribbabe12]

I mean they either will or they won’t lol

[BruceWayne32123]

Haha well hopefully they will get better

[jazzy34]

What do you mean “act weird?” Can you give examples?

[Caribbabe12]

OK a common example let’s say I’m in line waiting to pay for something they could be chill, calm and talkative with multiple people in front of me but then when I get there, they look like they’ve seen a ghost and act just weird lol

[jazzy34]

Honestly, that makes absolutely no sense. Unless they harass you, ignore them.

[Caribbabe12]

I do. i just wonder why

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Maybe it’s because you go out of your way to stare at them?

[Caribbabe12]

I dont i just notice the energy

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Look away then

[RHK36]

Probably giving off weird vibes

[Caribbabe12]

Thats valid

[jahaims]

Probably trying to decide if you are Trans or not

[Caribbabe12]

I take that as a compliment. Trans Women I’ve met are super cute.🩷

[Anonymous]

Maybe they heard some rumors about you.

[Caribbabe12]

It happens on vacation too they wouldn't know me

[Opinion Owner]

Is it possible that someone who knows you is gossiping about you?
