How far will you go to look at someone?

[HamburgerBoy]

...provided they make no gestures or startling noises or whatever to cause you to look over. Just an ordinary day walking around in a building at work or on campus or whatever. Also, assume that there is no reason for you to think that it may be someone you know.

depends on size of melons or badonkadonk. this only implies to females, of course.

No it doesn't, as that implies additional information. Can you tell the difference between big and small breasts when she's fifty feet behind you?

Your question and your poll options don't match.

uh, i can tell when she's 200 ft behind. :sneaky:

Probably, but I'm too tired and stupid right now to think how to word the thread title better. The point is that a person that turns his head backwards to look at someone a hundred feet back is much more easily stimulated than a person that requires a person headed opposite down a narrow hallway.

I'm too tired to try to figure out what that means.

Your question doesn't match your poll choices. I think the proper question would be "How far will you go to look at someone"? It could be a dual part question as well, with the second being "Do you care if they see you looking at them"?

???

I think that post spelled it out pretty plain.

Case 1: Joe Macho Italian Dude is walking in the same direction as me in a large building. He hears me and turns his head backwards and stares me in the eye for a good full second.

Case 2: My twin brother is crawling through a narrow crevice with me, in an opposite direction. When we meet, we turn our heads away from each other to ensure no eye contact is made.

The Jersey dude is stimulated by human contact much more readily than myself.

Thanks. I am truly fried right now and need all the help I can get.

You mean how far will I go to check out a woman? Depends on how hot she looks.

You really are fucking weird.

Case 1 is based on an actual experience, and I don't see what *I* did that was weird in that scenario. I met his gaze considering that I could see him turn his head in my direction and since it was already more or less in my focus before he had even turned. Case 2 is just an extreme opposite hypothetical, so no, I don't really have a twin brother like that and I don't regularly crawl through small crevasses, so don't mark that against me either.

 

[amdhunter]

I no longer look at people anymore due to me trying to avoid the embarrassment of eye contact. After you see thousands of people instantly look away from you over and over again, you just look down or find another focus.

How do you know that the Jersey dude was looking at you, and not someone or something behind you?

ah man, i wish eye contact caused me embarrassment. i always look at it as confrontation. i still have a habit of blurting out 'wtf are you looking at?' to total strangers. D:

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Because he was straight in front of me and I was looking close to the back of his head. When he turned his muscular hawt chest around and then his equally macho neck, I could tell that he was looking in my direction, which was the case. It does not contradict my earlier mention of total avoidance of eye contact being that it occurred under circumstances of stimulus.

I wish I could be like this. I've been feeling shitty lately (I actually tried to run over a pigeon with my car today and I have had pet pigeons before D: ) and when I saw the reflection via a side mirror of some guy in shades in a truck in front of me I was like "Fuck yeah, I'm going to stare at you" and when he turned his head at me I only maintained it for half a second at best. I just can't do it.

There's something to this. Being able to comfortably make eye contact with other people is a sign of personal confidence, but what if no one is willing to make eye contact with you? What if you are consciously not averting your eyes in that embarrassingly immediate way that communicates your discomfort, only to find that most other people do it. They can't all be lacking in self confidence, can they? I mean, maybe the dumpy nerdy looking guy is avoiding all eye contact for reasons i understand, but what about the beautiful girls who jerk their head away like they've been caught looking at scat porn? Assuming you aren't repulsive to look at, what can you make of this? How do they ever manage to meet people doing that?

Jerking the head away means they made eye contact at some point and for whatever reason declined to continue it. Not necessarily an act indicating a lack of confidence, and in the case of attractive women, more than likely an act of preventing the other party from getting any ideas.

EDIT: And srsly amdhunter, I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe it's different man to man, but at the very least you don't look scary/creepy, which is what I would imagine would initiate acts of revulsion. Indian males in my experience are generally more extroverted and jolly, and you look like the rare person I would be confident in greeting.

Stop stalking single white females at your work place, you're sick in the head, you pervert. I'm reporting you to the FBI's SWF Division.

 

[schneiderguy]

When people pass me I stare at them in the eyes so they know either a. I want to have sex with them or b. I could kick their ass if I wanted to.

Don't forget what happened the last time you tried that on a homeschooled kid.

don't feel too sorry for him. he has something that any Indian girl would die for: a US passport.

amdhunter can go back home and marry a fyne Indian babe.

I will go as far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like.
