Creeps me out, regardless of what the guy looks like. Prolific serial killer Ted Bundy was described as very handsome by most women who'd seen him, and in the press. Homicidal maniacs come in all kinds of packaging.

But even assuming we're not talking about a guy with evil intentions, it's still creepy. If he's interested, why doesn't he just come over and strike up a conversation? And if he's not intending to talk to me, why stare at me? I'm pretty sure I'd been taught it's rude to stare by the time I was in Kindergarten.

I stare back - this kind of behavior makes me angry.

He's probably afraid that you'll reject him. Look guys, I mean fellow males; I know it can be difficult, (I live in L.A., for God's sake.) But please don't do this. You like it? You like it a lot? Ok, but have a little discretion. Steal a look, maybe another, register it for future reference and go about your business. If you give a girl a look and a smile and she returns the gesture, then by all means, congratulations. It means that she likes you too and wants you to approach her. But if she turns away out of embarrassment or fear don't be a friggin' bully. Pretend it's your sister or your girlfriend or Mike Tyson's woman that you're attracted to, and give her a break. Most of the time women are too nice, too sensitive to turn to you in a crowded supermarket and say, "What in the *6%K are you lookin' at?!"

I want to fight them. Does that count as uncomfortable? I usually end up saying something to make it stop. Its the adult version of "im not touching you.im not touching you" So annoying.

When I was between the ages of 12 to 16 it made me extremely uncomfortable and self conscious. I hated it because I thought they were filthy perverts... (which they were for staring me down at 12).

When I grew up and matured I realized just how disgusting these men are to stare at women like pieces of meat. Makes me wonder if they have Mothers, and how their Mother raised them to respect women - apparently not. Any man who stares at a woman to the point of making her uncomfortable or have fear for her safety do not respect their own Mother, and do not respect women. Men like that are raised by the street, not by stable Mothers and/or Fathers, but by the street where women are objectified and regarded as sex objects.

As they stare me down, I'm sizing them up as ignorant pigs.

Depends on the situation, but if a guy is attracted to me, I would prefer flirtatious look with a smile to a predatory stare. Some men really do need to work on their social skills.

I don't mind at times,but usually on the bus that's when it gets more creepy.One time when I was sitting down on the bus I started to feel like a guy was staring at me,but I looked to reassure myself that he probably wasn't,but he wasm i quickly turned away and the whole time he was staring at me until I got off the bus!He was staring at me the whole time and I was so creeped tf out. The main reason I hate getting on busses.Another Guy kept checking me out and licking his lips while I was trying so hard to contain myself from getting pissed off.I hurridly got off the bus when It reached my destination.Being stared at is so creepy.If I was staring at a guy like that I'm sure he would feel the same way.

I don't like predatory anything. No, not even from handsome guys. Believe it or not.

I absolutely hate and am frightened of it.
