    I usually assume they are staring because I look funny or have some kind of stain on my face.

    I make sure to lean forward a little, too. Gotta get that "piece of meat" vibe going. Ladies love that.

    I'm in my forties and have had 4 children so if a guy stares then it's flattering, but you're never too old to be creeped out by nasty oglers and lechers, it's intimidating and sickening when guys cross the line

    I love it when a lady notices me, specially since as a femme I'm fairly invisible to the other lesbians.

    I don't care if a dude notices me, I just usually smile and not make a big deal.

    If they get overzealous (never had it happen with a lady, so this is to fellas only be default), I just roll my eyes and move on.

    Getting looked at is totally ok with me. It's kind of a compliment. :wink: Being shouted at, cat-called, touched, stalked or otherwise followed is NOT OK. :angry:

    When I was younger, I looked a heck of a lot better than I do now and it used to make me feel good when I had the attention of men. I worked in a predominantly male environment being 1 of 13 women as opposed to 800 men so was used to it.

    Dont get so much now probably because I have a bit extra weight and 4 kids in tow, I dont dress like I used to either :smile:


    As long as they arent leering and doing stupid movements it doesnt worry me.

    I was going for a tattoo back in July and in order to get it I had to wear a tube top. To finish the outfit, I wore a skirt I'd been saving for warmer weather and a lighter figure. Well, as I crossed the street to the tattoo parlor I heard dudes hollering from a car. I turned to see what the girl they were hollering at looked like and there was no girl behind me so I glanced around to find her just in time to have the car pass as they hollered "Hey Beautiful" at me on their way by. Realizing that was for me made my whole week.

    Maybe even month.

    It wasn't in distaste, but in all honesty, even if it had been, at that moment it was the first time it had happened. It simply reduced me to a giddy goofball.

    Being checked out/noticed is totally acceptable....especially if it is just long enough for me to notice.

    BUT, being that weird guy in the produce section who has his mouth open, glazed eyes, holding a single pear probably imagining terrible things about himself and me while I gently squeeze the peaches I want to purchase makes me VERY nauseous!

    I never notice when men look. Maybe they don't. I wish they did. In a respectful way!!! Cat calling is just stupid.

    I hate when guys toot their horns though, that's just quite intimidating and makes you feel quite foolish. It's always white van men hehe

    On occasion it can be quite flattering but when it happens a lot it can actually get quite uncomfortable and a little bit stressful. I used to have to walk past the same building every day for 6 months and absolutely hated it!

    I like to take a picnic basket to the fence just outside the jobsites and enjoy a nice sandwich and chips while I oogle the contractors. Confuses them, but I get a kick out of it.

    and yes, i notice nice looking guys too, a glance or two...:blushing:

    I feel like such an object.

    That is creepy and inappropriate that you think of men this way.

    It's ok to look as long as you don't look like the Cos before he eats a sandwich

    I don't like it, I feel self conscious. My husband dislikes it even more than I do.

    I agree with the majority, it's flattering if done appropriately! Does feel good to be noticed once in a while!

    Here's the thing. Look so that the woman has no idea you ever looked, unless it's your wife or g/f then she'll probably appreciate a good look down. But I don't mind at all as long as I don't sense/know it

    I only like it if he's hot. Or rich.

    Staring is not ever a good idea. A glance or brief smile is fine. But staring... and cat calling, no. I have a hard time believing that there's any excuse for a full on stare. But I guess it would depend on what part of the world or country you are in at the time. The ick feeling I get from a cat call is never worth the "admiration" shown.

    I think if someone is just "staring" it may make the other person feel uncomfortable regardless of the reason.

    I think if someone looks, likes what they see, looks back and smiles at you, that is sexy and flattering :)

    YES!

    Staring is creepy, and I tend to think, "Oh my god, this person who's staring... I bet they know all my secrets." Or something equally idiotic. I'm not the brightest crayon in the fish tank.
