A Positive Sign?

Post Reply New Topic

A few days ago I was exercising at the gym, and I noticed a woman was looking at me from a couple of machines over. She was looking in my direction for quite a while and I noticed she was doing this more than once. Is this a sign of attraction?

Or maybe you had something stuck in your teeth.

I'm just kidding. Yeah she was most likely checking you out. As long as you weren't doing something extremely freaky at the time, that's probably the only explaination.

If you're unappealing, people don't STARE. They make a look of dusgust/horror/surprise/distate and move away

if she was staring...she thought you were hot sh!t

It's hard to say. It seems like she really was checking you out, in which case, good job. But personally, I'd be really skeptical. Think of everything you were doing the moment you saw her looking at you. Did you have anything stuck to your clothes? Were you using the machine incorrectly? Was your hair out of place in some way? Sorry to sound so pessimistic, but with my looks, I just find the notion of a woman looking at me flat-out ridiculous. So these are the thing I would consider first. But if you think you got the looks, and everything was fine, then yeah, she was checking you out.

Oh. I look at people for a variety of reasons. In the past, when I have been attracted to a stranger, I'd look away, not at him. If I stare at someone I don't know, it's pretty much a guarantee that I'm not attracted. Maybe he has cool pants or something.

But I guess we're assuming neurotypicality.

Like I said. If you're making a fool of yourself, people don't stare they laugh or grimace.

Yeah, I agree that NT stares are often based on attraction. That assumption is based on things I have heard them say.

When I stare at someone, it's not good or bad. I'm usually thinking something like, "Hmm, she looks like that imaginary character I used to write about," or, "What is he doing and what is he thinking and why?" and then I make up answers so that the person in effect becomes yet another imaginary character. It has nothing to do with finding them appealing or unappealing. It's just a way to pass the time when I'm doing something boring like grocery shopping.

I can't say. I've never had women stare at me before...

I'd say it be attraction. but then again, I don't notice if people stare at me. I don't have the time.
