I was walking to work this morning.. and my interaction with one or two women on the street got me to thinking about a question that I haven't seemed to find the answer on my own..

When I make eye contact with some women they either seem to drop their eyes to the ground or their head?? Is that a sign of un-interest, no confidence, subtle submission or is their head is just too heavy??


fill me in :D

I think that means they're not interested and don't want to be bothered.

Making eye contact and having her smile back is a much better result.

They are praying... praying that you'll leave them alone.

:p

Actually, it's a defense. If they maintain eye contact, more aggressive men won't leave them alone.

They're just following your line of sight to what you're really looking at to make sure a button isn't unbuttoned or something.

Depends on how they look away, for some it's cause they are shy, and others it's a signal of non-interest.

True. Shy is the other big reason I would say.

I dunno i was always under the impression that it was a lack of confidence.. because I have no problem keep eye contact with anyone

but maybe that's just how i am..

Those are my thoughts, as well.

I'm not saying that you are ugly, or that I am great looking, but I tend to look down or away when I see the face of someone I consider ugly.

This is true, too. You just have to read the situation on a case by case basis.

You seem set on a reason, so why are you asking?
