    I almost never get hit on IRL. But there was a guy at my last job that went out to his car to get his guitar so he could play me a song, that was pretty cute.

    According to my friends I'm 99.9% oblivious when I get hit on. I assume women are just being friendly thus never interpret the signals.

    That is the opposite of most men. Most men think seem to think that if we are nice/friendly/smile at them, we want them. My fiance is the same as you though. We broke up around our 10 year anniversary and continued to live together. My fiance was so oblivious to any girl hitting on him. Worked out fine though. We got back together and have been stronger and closer since the split. Lucky for me he never picked up on being picked up! It worries me though, that if I die early, he'll have a hard time finding a companion...

    I really don't think I'm oblivious to be hitting on, but I suppose it's possible. I've been told that I'm intimidating, unapprochable, and (according to my brother) "scary as hell." Which I think all that's toned down quite a bit over the years, but still, never really get hit on.

    I've reached that age where I can enjoy when someone hits on me but I don't have to do anything about it. Now if my wife hits on me, the kids better not be home. :wink:

    Do you have bitchy eyebrows? My fiance said I have bitchy eyebrows. LOL. I totally do. I don't make eye contact. And I don't smile very often (towards strangers). Many of the pickups lines start with "Why are you so mad?" or "Give me a smile."

    I think the colorful hair, tattoos and the way I dress actually makes people believe I am more friendly and approachable than I really am. I know people think that people who choose to look like I do, do it for attention. But for me, it so isn't. When people comment on my hair or tattoos...I just want to ignore them. I say "Aww, thank-you!" but inside I'm like "Please leave me alone!" I do it because when I see myself in the mirror, I feel better about what I see. I used to look at girls who looked like me now and thought they looked so beautiful (but also thought they were intimidating oddly enough). But I get it...I look like I'm in costume. People tend to react to me like I'm a character or performer but when they try to strike up a conversation, I'm quite terse and then they are confused. My fiance says I'm the most contradictory person he's ever met...I must say, I tend to agree with him...

    I've toned down in the last few years as well. Having a kid softened me considerably. I'll be the first to admit it...before my kiddo I was a cold, harsh b*@!h. I'd venture to say most people who know me would still call me that but I feel like I'm a fuzzy sweet kitten compared to the old me!

    Nope. Checked the eyebrows for that, too. You could be too pretty. I've had that one happen when I was thinner. Find out WEEKS later that a guy wanted to ask me out but thought I was just so 'out of his league'.

    Sometimes humans just don't read the signals well.
    I had to spell it out for my Sergeant Sexy Pants that I was interested. He doesn't read signals very well but he DOES know when I am physically in pain and trying desperately not to show it(even when he can't even see my face) or when I am angry/bothered emotionally by something.

    Too pretty..does not compute...lol! And yeah, it's entirely possible I'm missing signals.

    But at least my eyebrows are on point.

    Silver linings!

    And being too pretty can be intimidating. You won't be approached if a guy hasn't learned the 'reach out of your league once in a while, you might surprise yourself' rule yet. And many people simply fear rejection. :smirk:

    There's a lot of guys with confidence problems. If they see a woman with an air of confidence, they shy away. A strong woman is intimidating to most guys. I don't have that problem. I go home and I'm confident my wife will be there and she is confident I wont be fooling around. I love a confident relationship! :smile: It takes a lot of the mind games out of the equation.

    Sure am! When I'm a bit more flush, I wanna get a bunch of Dr Who themed workout shirts that I have on a Pinterest board.

    Haha...I understand the concept of too pretty, just not as it applies to me. I'm afraid I still see myself as the girl who "would be so pretty if she would just lose some weight..." They say the mind catches up eventually!

    Maybe she it's not that she likes Dr. Who. Maybe she just hates Daleks. :smile:

    I just caught up from this morning...the whole convo about bitchy eyebrows made me laugh! Never heard of that either. I've been accused of having resting b*tch face at work.

    I have also been told I have this condition.
    My 5th grade teacher Mr. Nettles said I had a 'natural frown' and my social studies teacher asked me if I was Native American because I looked 'Scary Stoic'. Apparently, I've always had an intimidating rest face and when working days I CONSTANTLY get told to smile.

    So after a ton of fireworks calls, it's finally calmed down. It's Independence Day but people have no patience.

    Good Lord that's right! People calling all night about the fireworks and who is allowed to have them and who isn't and crap like that. Bleh.

    Oi. Thankfully it cleared out quickly and early in my neck of the woods. Saw a lot of pretty fireworks on my drive to work though. :)

    So the BS in magazines about how guys say "Confidence is the most attractive thing in a woman" isn't true?! Gasp! Confident women are intimidating?! So apparently I've been right all along that it isn't confidence but T & A! :p

    I thought you were Native American.

    You know, I'm all for a bit of harmless flirting (I am single, after all!), but when a random guy on here messages me just to tell me that he's administering himself a "massage"...just...ick!
