    Good to know most of us have mastered that art
    Most of you are too good at that art! I walked straight past a (spectacular, intelligent, charming) guy today who apparently followed me from one end of the street to the other, looking for an opportunity to talk to me. Granted, I was pretty focused on my ice cream cone, but… had no idea he was checking me out.

    Lucky he was persistent. :wink:

    How do you follow someone for that long and not feel like a kidnapper?
    It was a short, very crowded street, but… good point. Want me to ask him, next time we meet?

    If you remember, yes :p

    I never notice. For most of my life I've never been 'check-out' worthy unless it was by guys who liked 'round' shapes. I'm just acquiring a 'fashion sense' too. A few weeks ago when the team at work went out to lunch, one of the guys I work with told me that another guy was checking me out when I was getting some Tea. Then my co-worker tells me that my jeans, flats, and short-sleeve Henley was a bit too edgy for work. Hmm, really? Funny, that's what LL Bean and Land's end dress the 40-ish aged models in. Guess that was a round about way to know he was checking me out too. I've also had a complete stranger tell me I filled out my jeans nicely in the produce section. Now that kind of approach you just can't miss ;)

    I don't really make eye contact with strangers, so who knows? I asked my fiance just now, he says both men and women approach him to tell him he's a lucky guy or that I'm pretty, but they don't approach me directly. I cover from head to toe (literally - I only show my face and hands, or sometimes just my eyes), so all compliments go through him. :smile:

    I never notice, especially at the gym. My husband always notices and then when we leave he tells me and I'm like....um, you sure it was me?

    Years of a poor self image will kill being able to notice or appreciate being checked out.

    completely agree

    It's 50/50 I think.... Sometimes I notice other times friends point it out and I'm oblivious...

    Sometimes very obvious and vulgar, others very subtly. Subtle guys get the smile.

    I can remember 4 actual times when I've noticed a guy checking me out. Other than than...it's either not happening or I'm not noticing.

    I have more than enough self esteem that I could care less about who is or isn't checking me out. LOL. Creepers...

    Now that I've gained all this weight, I still see some men looking at me but I no longer think they're checking me out (checking out a fat girl? c'mon :p ) Sometimes the dudes will smile if I meet their eyes and at that point I like to think maybe they're checking me out. My bf says I'm still smokin' hawt and not near as fat as I think I am, but he's also slightly biased lol.

    [Story Time]

    A decade or more ago, when construction guys could now be criminally charged and fired for whistling or cat calling at women, I was wearing a super-sexy summer dress with a low cut top and didn't think when I walked under scaffolding holding two men. The one dude whistled, caught himself, and turned it into a Disney song as I walked under. Some reason I thought that was adorable and way better than the traditional wolf whistle he was gonna give. :flowerforyou:

    I am surprised many women here don't notice ... i can notice a guy checking me out miles away ....


    I think it depends on your self image.
    Nobody ever checks me out, but if you're pretty (and are aware of it) you probably expect people to and notice it more.

    ^this. I was just thinking that so many of the ladies in this thread, purely based upon what I can see in profile pictures, are absolutely gorgeous. Guys (and probably some girls) are definitely checking out all of you! :smile:

    Sometimes but only when he mutters a comment (damnn) or does a lil grunt (mmm). I'm not much for eye-contact because of issues with my self-esteem so I don't really notice unless its obvious. Like years ago when I first started college I was waiting for the bus and noticed this guy who kept giving me glances but never saying a word. Anyways I got on the bus and he didn't and in all it took about 25-30 minutes to get home. He was behind the bus the whole time! He must have parked his car and acted as if he was waiting for a bus because and as soon as I got off he started honking! I ignored it and kept walking. When I reached my street he parked once again and started walking up to me. OMG I felt like running and of course when stuff like this happens no one is EVER around! He was talking and finally realized I wasn't interested and left. Scariest moment of my life!!

    No; my friends always laugh and say I have tunnel vision. Unless something catches my eye I am clueless.

    To have some level of self esteem issue is to be human. I'd rather that than think I was king ****all of the world. At least you can relate to people, and incidentally, you're plenty gawkable. =o]

    Yeah, I can tell most of the time. Some guys are really sneaky about it, but most aren't!
