And I still don't understand what you are saying at all Ripped. He asked why women look away from him or down at the ground. And many of us have answered his question to the best of our ability. Why do you think that they behave this way with Alienboy? Maybe you can advise him better than I can. At this point I am at a loss.
And when you stated "zero interaction" I assumed you meant zero interaction with women.
None of us have seen Alienboy interact with these people and he knows that, yet he asked for opinions and so people have given them.
Maybe he could ask the women, "Hey I was trying to gauge your level of attraction to me by seeing if you would make and hold eye contact with me. You looked down, away or at your cell phone, would you mind telling me why?"
Because that is the only way he will know for sure.
Interrogating strangers about their failure to interact would be weird to say the least.
Social interaction is self betterment, and really need not require justification.
This thread asks the question of negative feedback from women in public settings.
For a start, the women don't 'know' why they react, as they are most probably just reacting from instinct. There may not be a rational reason in them to give. There will be excuses if pressed, but the heart of the matter is not about them.
Asking them for rational reasons for their intuition and instinct is like asking the mirror to justify its reflection.
But this is all theory.
So to take one step toward reality, one must open one's mouth - without any expectation.
It is no great social faux par to say "Hi" to a stranger. It is no big deal for that stranger to say something positive or to smile back.
