why should I prove anything? Her assumption would be based on past experience, yet I am an individual and all situations are different. Experience is not a 100% airtight guide as to how to deal with new situations.

My point stands that ascertaining my intent is not totally possible, unless she was God and came down to Earth to see what trains rides are like....

You then think "look, lady. i'm only admiring your top, don't think I'll even be seen dating you. You're not my type!"

Now, why do women think literally any time a man sees them, it's due to them liking them? Are such women insecure, or even narcissistic, in that they presume all men to like them?

*sniff, sniff, sniff*

TVandSportsGuy, is that you???

Name someone who most people would consider attractive who lacks in the physical department? You cant. At least not without qualifiers like ".....for her age" or something similar.

A person (especially a woman) cannot be considered attractive if she lacks certain physical features/characteristics. Fat, old, wrinkly, moley, pimply, elephant gray, buck toothed, cockeyed women will not be considered attractive.

This thread seems dumb, but it's a rant, of a sort.

Sometimes you look at somebody for the sake of it. Sometimes you look at somebody since you think you know them. Sometimes you look at somebody and they remind you of someone you know. People even look at others out of derision, scorn, or contempt.

Now, do these reasons have anything to do with be physically attracted to somebody else?

So are you implying that women such as Kirstie Alley, Whoopie Goldberg, Queen Latifah, Mia Tyler (and the list goes on) cannot be considered attractive?

hahaha - spoken by somebody very young

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and what gets one guys attention may turn another guy off. There are many plus size women that plenty of men find very attractive. And Cindy Crawford has done just fine with that big ole mole on her face

OP, what you are talking about is what I refer to as the "Hot Chick Syndrome". This is where women who consider themselves somewhat hot, tend to think that ALL guys want them. This makes their behavior a bit odd sometimes that can cause uncomfortable situations.

Case in point, I sometimes teach womens safety and awareness seminars and one of the biggest areas/locations where women sometimes feel the get accosted/harassed/approached is at gas stations while pumping gas. Their biggest problem is their fear based behavior (hurrying up and getting back in their cars and locking the doors while gas is being pumped) which lets bad guys/criminals know that they are a good target because they give signs of being afraid/unsure/ etc. First thing I tell them "Dont be so flattered with yourselves in thinking that all guys want you". After my seminars and the behavioral modifications I give them, they have proven to be less likely to be approached by someone. I just tell them that they when they get back in their car, they "feel" safe but they give signals to the bad guys that says "Im a great target". Just tell them to stay outside, look guys right in the eye and they will have not problem.

I'm going to raise my hand here and say I think I understand what the OP is saying. For some reason, women feel insecure around men. Which is the reason there are women only gyms, women only yoga classes, women only dorms or sections of dorms. There have been times where I have merely had my eyes open--not the slightest bit interested or even thinking about anything sexual or romantic--and women have just run wild with it. I don't know maybe I have a powerful or sexy look about me or maybe release too many pheromones or something--I don't think that's any guy's fault? Not sure but don't think they understand men.

Qualifiers need to be added:

Kirstie Alley - attractive eyes for a fat woman. She and I have the same Vetrinarian so Ive seen her a few times at the vet. She was very attractive before she got fat.

Whoopie Goldberg - Cannot be considered attractive. Physically she's not attractive.

Queen Latifah - she has a pretty face for someone who is overweight.

Mia Tyler - Never heard of her.
