This thread actually popped up in my daily life today, in regards to discussing other people looking at you or whatever. Everyday when I swim at the fitness club I belong to attached to a hotel, I have to deal with all the old haggered housekeepers leering at me through a glass window as though they have never seen a half naked man in speedos before. They are practically licking the glass on the window. I wouldn't mind the odd look but I don't think they need to follow my every movement with their eyes.
So something I have noticed is women always portray this role of being these meek, asexual beings and men are these dirty minded predators with sex on their minds looking to lay anything and everything. I've been convinced for a while that women young and old are just as dirty minded as men and they are as capable of being perves as men.
Aw, come on, you probably make their day every time you swim!

"He's here, Hazel!"
Obviously I do!
Ultimately my point is, since it was misunderstood, is that there is appropriate and inappropriate, as well as respectful and disrespectful in regards to looks or comments.
I don't mind if someone admires my bod or has a look or makes a nice comment. What is a bit over the top is like today the one woman never took her eyes off me for an hour. It was like some old raccoon watching my every movement.
But alas like Dimsum ordered me to do since because I am a man and surely all men are dirty minded evil predators and therefore we must suffer at all costs, is "i'll deal with it".
I would be flattered. Women usually can tell when it is lecherous or just admiring. I don't really see why any female would be offended by a nice man smiling at her.
We all need a bit more smiles in this world and it is lovely to be made to feel attractive.
So bring it on !
I would smile back and say hello , making eye contact.
What I hate is men who wolf whistle down the streets or talk to your breasts whislt leering. Now that is not only rude and annoying it can also feel a bit threatening.
But if a man smiles at me appreciatively then I will most certainly be feeling very chirpy and happy all the day !
When I was at the grocery store yesterday I was in line and when I turned around there was the young woman maybe 23, she was very pretty and dressed in a nice little sundress and she had a nice pleasant looking face. When I saw her I smiled at her, not a pervey trying to pick you up type of smile. Well she kind of looks at me like back off old man. I'm like WTH. While I'm no Brad Pitt, I'm certainly not an lecherous ugly old man. So I kind of just look away. This got me to thinking about the ladies here on the forum.
So my question to you ladies is how do you respond when a guy makes eye contact or smiles at you. Do you act polite or act snobby like that one at the grocery store did.
BTW Mrs Chow says she's polite and smiles back.
If the man gives me the creeps I look away. It goes on a person to person basis.

She was very rude..I would take it as a compliment and smile back..
In general, I avoid people. If they smile, I'll smile back. If they want to talk, I'll talk. I don't leave people hanging unless they're an idiot who is trying to get some hook up.
Sometimes my natural reaction is to smile at certain women, or talk. Sometimes I don't as I'm not in the mood. No creepy intentions. Nearly always their response is positive. I think you just struck an unlikely response.
