somuchforthat Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 This is just a random observational that i thought of today... you know how sometimes you catch poeple looking at you....and then they look away but a few seconds later you both kinda glance at each other and you kinda play tag with other for a bit...wtf does that mean? I cant tell if sometimes they find you attractive or that your fly is undone or you have a bogger in your nose or there is just something wierd about you lol any insights?
TaraMaiden Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 people find it uncomfortable to make eye contact with strangers. It's an animal trait, it's a challenge and an "invasion" of your emotional space. It probes. My daughter tried it once. stood on a corner and made eye contact with people. Everyone turned away or just flicker-glanced. 7 people held her gaze. The women who did, were resistant, or kind of hostile in their physical attitude and demeanour, the four guys who did, either showed bewilderment, or ended up smiling, almost as if they knew what she was doing. It's a game of dare....
Author somuchforthat Posted August 29, 2010 Author Posted August 29, 2010 so its not a good thing...lol great
TaraMaiden Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 I never said it wasn't. It's just body language. if they find it funny, grab the bull by the horns, and go up to them, and laugh, saying, "I was wondering who'd crack first! Hi, I'm *insert name here*!" People who know and like each other make eye contact all the time. Mothers who want to tell their kids "I mean it this time, just quit!" will do it with a withering look. Eyes talk a whole lot more than we think they do. The eyes, have it.....
PegNosePete Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 I find it hilarious to stare at strangers on the underground, and smile at them. Most people get really, really uncomfortable!
TaraMaiden Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 pegnose, when you look at me, I just melt...... They don't call me the ice queen fer nuthin'.....!
NancyBotwin Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 I never ever notice stuff like that. Ever. It's like when I'm driving down the road and people say they saw me and waved. Unless you are in my immediate proximity, I'm clueless. Good for you for being more aware.
PegNosePete Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Ooh I am so hot I can melt the ice queen? Awesome!!
Feelin Frisky Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I'm one to be lost in thought in places like subways, railroads, gyms, airplanes w/e. Sometimes those thoughts make me smile and even gleam. I've gotten noticed and I'm sure woman and gay dudes have thought I was making goo-goo eyes at them. The girls look away. The mo-s don't. I have to change my demeanor to disenchant the switch hitters. If a pretty girl looks back, I don't jump to conclusion that I have a glimmy on my shnozzola or that my fly is undone. If I know I wasn't accidentally telegraphing something unintended, I take her looks as food for my hungry ego. LOL.
