how come a lot of women get unfriendly or hostile if a man stares at them for too long on a night out?

It's not just women, most people don't like it when someone in the background stares at them for an incredibly long time.

On nights out even quickly glancing at a girl I find attractive is not acceptable

If these girls aren't already with another man, why don't you say hi to them.

They usually like that better than staring.

So much gets said in the first 3 seconds of eye contact. Either they're interested or they aren't but the staring game is usually over after that.

Because it's rude.

Too shy


But you're not too shy to stare at them for extended periods of time, to the point they become noticeably angry? I feel like you're making this the girls' issue. Yes, approaching people is awkward and uncomfortable, but it's a necessary evil in the dating world. I apologize if I am being too harsh, but I can only imagine you must be seriously staring them down and intensely oggling them, for it to come to this.

Jamesy, I'm curious as to why you would think they wouldn't be irritated by being stared at. Staring at people is generally considered threatening - to both men and women.
Do you think you are flattering them by staring?

Actually if I didn't know you it would be a little weird, but if I did know you I'd be wondering if I had something hanging out of my nose and you just didn't know how to tell me. :D

stare well. it also depends on where exactly u r staring at, maybe u were staring at places they're insecure about. most women like when they get compliments on their (ya know) , u can look there all day it works like charm.

again, the way you look at women has to be sexy itself the way itself sexy

edit: hope this helps and sorry about my bad english

Because it's a threatening, aggressive, rude thing to do. I wouldn't like it if anyone stared at me.

If someone looks at me for more than a glance or two, I'd expect them to come over and say something. Which, me being me, I wouldn't exactly enjoy. But I would much prefer it to them simply staring at me.

Looking is a very intimate thing to do. I don't mean glancing or noticing or seeing, or what have you. I mean looking, and in such a way that even you, as Drawyer pointed out, describe it as 'too long'.

This isn't some 'tch, silly women, eh?' thing. This is pretty much across the board. Don't stare.

When a girl stares at me or checks me out I get flattered.
