    I get stared at when Im doing Cardio, not because I look good, but because I go at such a speed and look such a mess, I would like to think they aknollege that I am 'going for it' lol

    Ahahaha. That's beautiful.


    I don't mind staring. But honking while I'm walking is so cringe-worthy.

    Well, if you hadn't ignored me when I yelled, "Hey Baabbbyyy!! How YOU doin?!!??" out the car window as I did the slow roll, maybe I wouldn't have had to honk my horn. And another thing...I was still outside of the 100 ft range as set by the restraining order.

    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

    Not all white van men do this, only 98% of us lol

    I enjoy it. It is a definite boost to the ego. If I notice I will usually smile and just keep on with whatever I am doing.
    Sometimes I will go out of my way to have some fun and get stared at at the same time, things like wearing my collar and leash out in public. It is fun to notice who notices, and to see the reactions.

    I would LOVE to be stared at. Never happens.

    Cat calls.
    Rude comments.
    Etc.

    Not so much. But that never happens either so I'm speaking from theory not experience!
  • Haha I realised I may cause offence with that comment! Not all white van men......just some.

    I don't mind when the construction workers stop to watch me walk by. Saying hello is fine also (if it is natural and I am right next to them) or waving hello. It does make me uncomfortable if they cat call. It also surprised me one time because I had not noticed they were looking at me and one of the construction workers was getting lunch at the same time as me and he began to comment on how he liked the new way I was doing my hair (and I had no idea who he was). But, he was nice enough, so I got over the initial surprise.

    It's fine to stare. Hell, yelling is even okay but when you start following me I'm going to do 3 things:
    1) pull out my pepper spray
    2) yell "stay back" and then,
    3) run like hell.

    I like playing role reversal and wolf-whistling workmen. It's so much fun scaring straight men. :)

    The game is you look until they notice you looking, quickly look away and then look back. If they're still looking you smile.

    If they're not you send them a friend request with numerous pictures of your junk... :laugh:

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

    THIS! also while dancing at the club. makes me shake it harder! LOL!

    This post shows my security and insecurity at the same time. I'm secure enough with my sexuality to not be bothered by a man checking me out, but I am also insecure when EVERYONE doesn't check me out. I have issues.

    GO COLTS!!! Oh, nevermind, maybe next year. BTW, my favorite team, its where i am originally from.

    I hate it. I usually start thinking 'Did I wait on him/her at work and refused to give them a refund?'. Or if it's a guy sometimes it'll be 'Is that the guy I wouldn't dance with last weekend?', and if it's a girl 'Is that one of *so-n-so*'s ex-girlfriends?' I just get paranoid.

    When I catch people staring at me, I give them something to stare at - my middle finger.

    No. I don't like being stared at; I've been stared at my whole life because of my size (huge).

    That said, once in my 20s, when I'd worked my way down to 130, I was walking downtown and kept looking at myself in the store windows as I passed them by - someone actually yelled out "Yeah, you're hot, honey!" :blushing:
  • I LOVE IT! =) means I've worked my *kitten* off!

    I don't like being stared at by men either ... happens way too often oddly enough
  • Posts: 208 Member
    I've never been stared at in a 'she's hot' way - always the opposite. I do everything I can not to be noticed in general! Even when I get to my goal size/weight I'll probably still live in my jeans and a baggy tshirt over summer. I'm doing it for me, not for everyone else to stare at.
    Guess I'm firmly in the 'please don't stare at me, it freaks me out' camp.
  • I like it unless they are staring like creepy staring then NO! But if they are looking like they are enjoying the scenery then hell yes!! Let them look!

    being nearly 7 feet tall i get stared at all the time, it's annoying especially if it comes w/ dumb comments

    I don't meet many tall people. So I would probably make a dumb comment like:

    "I love you. I never get to feel small!"
    "*stares up grinning* You're tall. It's great."

    Stuff like that. I'm sorry. I just get so giddy when I meet people taller then me.

    I'm not abnormally tall for a female BUT I am the tallest female in all of my circles (and there aren't very many males taller then me in my circle either) so I just get a little excited. >.< I apologize on behalf of all dumb comment makers.
