Venting Eye contact with women in a store

[Singularity314]

I have been wondering if this happens to other people... I am pretty sure it does but I want some opinions on it. Like most people in the U.S I shop in super markets or Walmart or even Home Depot for things I need. In my travels around the inside of these stores you encounter woman, some attractive to me some not so much. When I look at them in a passing way I seems to often get the same facial expression in response, one of disgust or immediate avoidance, generally the reaction is much more pronounced with women in the 20's and earlier 30's from what I can see. Now to paint the picture most of the time I am in black slacks and a button down shirt with a short haircut....so nothing unusual that would be off putting to someone. I don't have any piercings or tattoos of any kind anywhere, hidden or visible. I have made it a point to not make eye contact with any woman for longer than is absolutely necessary so I am certainly not staring.
I kind of want to know if this is just me or if this is something in my mind or if others experience this the same way i do. I am a very observant individual and I have good attention to detail (requirements of my job).
I would like to know if this is something others experience and please describe it.

people usually avoid eye contact with me or its a look of animosity as if they are looking straight through me.

Are you morbidly obese or look like the elephant man? Maybe it's just American culture? In Eastern Europe people generally aren't as rude as in USA imo

That's a lot for your height, this could pretty much be the reason.

you just dont smell good enough

That is possible, about 2 years ago I weighed about 335 pounds. I haven't discounted that being a contributing factor. The main reason why lost weight was due to blood pressure reasons. I didn't want to take a maintaince medication for being a fat ass. I am still a fat ass but one with normal blood pressure now. Still working on the fat ass part of course.

I never give women attention. So I act as if they don’t exist or as if they are an inanimate object that I don’t want to run in to. Whores love attention. I never even acknowledge their existence.

I get the same or at best avoidance (look anywhere but at me). I'm sure women would never look at me if they weren't as instinctually driven to make eye contact because of their need to socially interact. They get overwhelmed by their emotions though so they can't hide what they feel with their expressions and body language.

Good luck man, I'm not telling you you will ascend, but at least people won't look at you weird. That's why I lost weight anyways.

It's more like "ewww, look at him", saw two girls last week pointing at me and laughing. Most women and some guys just avoid me like I have the plague.

Any motherfucker who points and laughs at someone else in public is themselves going to be viewed with disdain by the public. Most normal, mature humans do not act that way-especially in public where they are being judged as well.

Have you tried getting a haircut?

 

[Anger]

I suffer from the same pain as you bro, when i try to make eye contact with a femoid i can see how bad they stare at me, seems like people see me as an alien, they looked so shocked when they make eye contact with me

Maybe in the past, now if you're an ugly guy just minding your own business, you're fair game.

Useless without showering and 3 applications of body spray.
