I've only done that when I pass someone with too much perfume or cologne.

Honestly though, how could we possibly say what they are crinkling their noses at?

At first I would say something you said. But if only in passing - not talking- I would say it is your nonverbal body language. It sounds like you are unaware of your body language or you would not be writing this. Are you overtly looking them up and down? Any unwelcome looks will warrant this reaction

Like some have said maybe you are wearing some disgusting smelling cologne or leering at them in a greasy manner that they find offensive. Looks have nothing to do with it.

I would think so but just wanted to double check. I just find it hard to believe people would do that just because they don't find someone attractive. And to clarify, this always happens in passing. Not when I'm talking to them. And I don't smell. I bathe daily and use deo. This happens from across rooms also.
Are you starring longingly into their eyes as you pass?? Women/Men can get creeped out by someone starring like that.....

You may also be underestimating your "confidence" How do you present your confidence...Are you talking about yourself?? You must be doing something because people don't just sneer at someone for nothing.

If it is just women having that reaction, it is not because he stinks. If a person stinks, men, women, and children all move away and crinkle their noses. In fact, children can be downright rude about their reaction to a smelly person.

If it is just women, he is doing something creepy and they want to give a clear message "stay away from me." If it is all women, even old grannies, and not just pretty young women, what he is doing is really creepy.

You are definitely creeping them out the way you look at them.

this. Sometimes the more handsome you are the more creepy you show to other people when you look at them.
