Twice in a week this has happened to me. In both cases the girls were probably around 25, I'm a few years older than that. Once it happened at a cafe in my home city, the other time on a train, not in my home city.

They just flat out stared at me, like for 2 mins or more at a time. No noticeable smile from them in both cases. I had little to no interest in either of them, didn't find either very attractive. I was always taught its rude to stare. And still live by that.
Help me understand this. Serious answers only please.

They are envisioning ravishing you. Kinda like how men stare at a hot woman. Doesn't matter if it's unatainable. I'm visioning you in heals right now, nice legs.

It is rude to stare but it's animal instincts to lure someone in.

I think this belongs on the "Why do men stare but never approach" thread.

They were probably just zoning out, didn't even see what was in front of them.

With no smiling at all though?

Also this is something guys do far more, than girls do to guys. Maybe that is changing.

People watching maybe? I love to people watch. But I am good at not looking directly at them. For example, on the train, I look towards the window, but I am watching the people in the reflection on the glass. Zoning out fits too. I've seen people do this to me and I wave at them...scares them! lol But yeah, without a smile I would say it's something neutral like either one of those.

Or in one of the cases, she may have been on something in the way of drugs. The other one I would say she wasn't.

No silly, it happened a long time ago. Probably with cave men, they liked the big stick. Lol

Or rather healthy good looking guy. Are you implying you are too hot for these ladies?

Fyi-I don't smile when I have a million thoughts going through my head.

That sounds feasible. Not that you aren't worthy of admiration, but she may have just been admiring the pretty colors.
