Give a smile, wink, and wave. That's what I do0

I am a statuesque woman with an athletic build. I turn heads. I know this. So I build a little swagger into every step. Work it girl!0

I think you should just start shouting at them "I told you to **** off the last time, you can **** off this time too." I hear people like that.0

That's life so unless you're going to take to the hills like a hermit just learn not to let it effect you. There are a million reasons people could be looking at you, maybe you remind them of someone etc, best not to let it get to your head one way or the other!0

Smile and say "hi", or "good morning".
This... Sometimes people stare and zone instead of staring to be creepy. Sometimes people just like looking at attractive people. Maybe you look like someone's sister. Unless someone starts following you, tries to touch you, or starts smack talking, ignore it or engage it by saying hello. That'll call attention it and hopefully make it stop.
If you're new in your thin skin, it's possible that you're just not used to the attention. That's perfectly ok.
You can take Jennieb's suggestion, put a little more swing in your step, be flattered, and go on with your day.0 -

I don't know what it is but before we had kids my hubby and I were stared at alot, now they still stare, they have more to look at with 3 kids in tow lol!! My eldest has now noticed the looks, he asked us "Why is everyone staring at us?" Hubby and I just laughed and said maybe we look interesting!!!0

I assume it's with approval. If I'm inclined, I'll smile at them. Otherwise I continue doing what I was doing. "Take a picture, it'll last longer" was left behind in school0

I usually just ignore it. I'm quite tall and have a unique sense of style (see the hair color, for example), so people often stare at me, especially old people. If I feel like they are are "glaring" I glare back at them, and sometimes they get embarrassed. If I feel like it is a stare of admiration, I'll smile at them. But usually I just go on my merry way and remain confident0

I smile, or wave, or crank my tunes, stand straighter and add a liiiiiitttle bit of strut to my walk.0

You could politely suggest they take a picture and let them know it'll last longer.0

I would just smile and say "hi" to them... Take it as a compliment and just move along... as long as they aren't following you.. I say it's ok...0
-
um, nothing. they own their eyes. be confident enough not to care.0

I notice sometimes when people stare but I usually smile and give them a nod and keep it moving.0

Keep staring. Dont break eye contact. It shows weakness. Stare back until they cant stand it and then look away. Then smack your chest with your fist and walk away, you win.0

My boyfriend has 1 1/4 inch plugs in his ears and pretty much anywhere we go people stare. He doesn't pay attention to it but it really bothers me. I usually just stare right back at the person, though I've decided to start saying, "didn't your mother teach you that staring is rude?"0

flip em the bird0

I follow them...conspicuously.
If I have somewhere I need to be, I politely turn around, get their attention, and ask them just what in the *kitten* they're staring at.0
