Search Results: confusing behavior by a guy

It's complicated and silly but it happens almost every time I go out and if I can understand it I can laugh it off,maybe alter my own behavior .Sometimes it ruins my day or my walk ,however mature I am or how I try to rationalize it or ignore it. It's so frustratingly bizarre.

Why do girls so this?

When walking with a guy, often holding his hand they either :

insult me/comment on my looks

or

stare me down, often stopping their boyfriend in his tracks in the middle of my path to make out with him?

Every so often, a girl will follow me around trying to strike up a conversation, usually if I am shopping in a market.Those times, I assume he's her brother and she's playing ' wing man'.

I get this from teen girls and women who are dressed like businesswomen in their 30/40s.

Some background,since these things effect social interactions:

I just moved to a small city where no one knows me.

am quiet and low key, I like to go for walks to relax after working on household chores or for a coffee in the evening. I 'live in' jeans and a tee shirt (both clean,no holes) , I wear no make up, my BMI is 18 so I'm not skinny or fat ,I am flat chested and far from a model or a slut. I wear my hair short bobbed. I have been told maybe 10 times in my Life that I am pretty and maybe as many that I am ugly.

When I walk, I am looking at the beautiful old architecture and lots of old trees and flowers,it's a lovely place to live- which is part of why this behavior from people confuses me. Sometimes, in a good mood, I am smiling at people,sometimes I look up to see a girl staring me down as she and her boyfriend approach or she moves him into my path and stands there with him.

The city is mixed classes,races,ages,nationalities- very diverse. It is also nice and homey, often described by the locals as a 'town' . It's also a 'city' , a big center for commerce and government with lots of tourists.
