Why are women so weird?

Dude, you're over-thinking this. Just say hello to the next one that does it.

Why? Because other women will call them whores if they see them not using their Stasi tactics while trying to bag a guy.

Better yet, just comment on the movie they're looking at. Make some conversation. I could only wish this were happening to me. How are you catching their eye? That's what I need to know. I seem to be mostly invisible in public.

This thread brought to you by Travis Bickle.

This does sound like a problem though.

Could it be possible they are just reaching for items on the top shelf because they want the item? And they're stroking their hair behind their ears because the hair is long and they want it out of their eyes?

Sorry...crazy talk.

Don't bring up "women" and "logic" in the same thread, it will destroy the internet.

I was always horrible at reading the signs. A girl had to fall in my lap for me to realize she was interested.

I'm sure the dynamics of dating are different in a small town setting. Sounds like it may be easier than in a large metro area.

Maybe they're scared of blowing the catch of the decade.

Yes, it's a rule. A shitty rule, but that's the way it goes.

Bark never EVER get a negative attitude about women noticing you and just take it all in stride.

If you notice a woman doing that again just smile and say hello. Most women are shy and are hoping their glances will catch the attention of a man. If not, oh well on to the next aisle.

hahahaha

I say rape 'em.

Also, how old are you? Serious question, not a putdown.

Maybe they're store security and you're wearing a baggy overcoat...

I think I figured it out. Bark must have an exceptionally large wallet that is attracting this attention.

sounds like someone's wearing axe bodyspray!

And the winner is...

Then why start your post explaining how often you seem to catch women's attention when you're out in a store?

You make a lot of assumptions. Tucking their hair behind their ear or wearing skimpy clothing doesn't mean they're flirting with you. They might be, but if they're not even making eye contact with you then I doubt it. And how do you know what these women are doing when they go home, or who they go home to?

If you honestly think they're flirting with you, then talk to them. A lot of women do still wait for the man to make the first move.

This is another one of those creepy "chicks WANT us to rape them!" things, isn't it.

So this is another one of those creepy "chicks WANT us to rape them!" things, then.

Hope she doesn't need anything from any shelves in your vicinity.

True that. It creeped me out and I'm not even a chick.

But sure, as others have noted, put a lil' rape in her day.

Is your daughter with you at these times? Maybe she's looking for Insta-Family®. Just add woman and stir!

Well it sounds like you have all the answers you need, then.

Yikes. I must be doing something wrong I flirt even when i'm not horny.

I'm ripe for a woman to rape me I guess.

What would Margaret Atwood say?

You know what you do need need though. Go out and get a moderatly expensive engagement ring and carry it with you. At those times when they pull the hair back and give you that, "How you doin..." eye, quickly drop a knee and confess your undying love to her in a voice much like Kenneth Brannagh with a tinge of Leo and George Cloony.

She'll be yours forever.

Ummmm, no.

Do you find it easy to start conversations with strangers? Especially strangers you are interested in? Because most people don't, it takes an incredibly confident person to just go up to someone and start chatting away. That's why most of us resort to using body language and praying the other person will make the first move.

If you think a girl's cute and think she's interested just say something, you'll probably get good results.

If you think that women are weird because of what you described, jesus man...you should meet more women.
They're fucking nuts!
Oh yeah..and they want us to rape them.

If a woman raped me, that would be cool.

As for why women do this, don't analyze it too much. There's two possibilities I can think of. Well, a third is simply that these girls are minding their own business and don't care, but I guess that would be included in the first possibility.

One is that some of them are pretty open or uninhibited about being friendly. That may sound really name, but I've known girls to be like that. One girl I was friends with (though I was really in love with her) was very open with others, hugged, rubbed my back, pushed me when she saw me, but she just considered that all being friendly (which drove me nuts, of course). I could tell she just did that to people she liked.

Now, as for the other possibility, perhaps some are trying to hit on you. Of course, being a guy, you wouldn't really know, since most guys (and I'd put myself at the front of this list) need to be hit over the head before we realize a girl is hitting on us. A girl even gave me her number shortly after we met, invited me to her apartment, and I was still not sure of whether she was just trying to go out as "friends" or not. I later found out that she was trying to hit on me from her coworkers, but every time she was trying to I thought she was just acting really goofy.

In cases like these, girls can be shy as well. In her case, it was really obvious. She had the nerve to slip me her number (I was her boss at the time), and when I called her, she seemed almost squeamish about asking me out, as if I had to bait her just to get the words out.

These kind of stories are really endless. Women are nuts.

Yeah, it's the women who are nuts — shithead.

Women wouldn't be so nuts if they were better drivers!!! LOLROTLFMAO

God, I swear it's like sometimes I think women are, like, from Venus and I'm from Mars!

It probably wouldn't be cool if she tied you up and raped you with a greased up wine bottle.

You've been reading my diary!!!

Which end?

It's just like the girl who stuck a coke bottle in her Virginia and the vaccuum sucked all of her insides into the bottle. Women are crazy!

Well you put the thing on the 'net and folks will read it.

Women are weird, unpredictable, and moody.

My problem seems to be that the women after me I have no interest in whatsoever. The attraction just ain't there.

There's this one chick who I met in my senior year of highschool that had a crush on me (even sent me flowers during Valentine's Day). During the last few years, I have run into her in three completely different places: a movie theater, Target store, and hospital. Two of those times I gave her a phony phone number hoping I'd never see her again. My luck. Oh, and she happens to have had two kids since graduating. Just not my cup of tea: obsessive and loose.

Those are some random places to keep running into her. I think it's Fate's way of saying "This is the best you're gonna get...trust me."

That certainly crossed my mind, but I'm hoping Fate is only playing tricks on me.

God, Henry Higgins would love this thread.
"Why Can't A Women Be More Like A Man".....

you might be shocked at how women see men as weird.

Ha, ha, doubtful.

Or you could decline to give her your number.... naw, then she might be able to figure out you aren't interested.

I find what works best for getting a woman's attention is semiphore.

Or I could've just told her that I wasn't available after she asked me if I was dating anyone. But that would've made sense. And, I'll admit, a part of me wanted to see her face glow when I gave her my number. Not that I tend to be purposely hurtful and deceitful, but it just felt like the right thing to do at the time.
