Why Women Ignore Men
Males wondering why women don't give them "the eye" or respond with interest to their presence might want to review their social skills. If you start conversations with "Why aren't you married?" or "When's the last time you had sex?" you probably won't receive much positive attention from women. Dork.
With nothing intelligent to do with my time, I decided to wander into a local eatery for a happy hour snack and beverage. I've discovered that happy hour is a great place to meet people, and it provides wonderful opportunities for me to ask questions and stay abreast of the astonishing things going on in the minds of single men and women in the dating world.
This past Monday I rolled in, parked my butt on a stool, and ordered nachos and a margarita. Recognizing me from a few weeks ago, a gentleman ran over to my table to ask how my research was going and what fascinating things I'd learned about the opposite sex since we last spoke. He and I chatted for a few minutes, then he whispered that he had a question for me. "Shoot" I say.
"Women seem to spend a lot of time intentionally ignoring men, not giving eye contact, paying zero attention...being totally self-absorbed, etc." he said. "How do you notice guys? Does a guy ever catch your eye?"
Did I say astonishing? Perhaps "jaw droppingly unf'in believable" would be more appropriately descriptive.
Taking a big swig of my tasty beverage, I had to explain to the young man (who was at least 35 and should know better) that women are not self-absorbed, men are.
Really, for him to think that because he showed up there should be a drum roll, house lights would dim, and all eyes would be on him is a fantasy and a dream. Apparently he believed because he showed up and wanted female attention, women were supposed to drop whatever they were thinking about or doing and make him the focus of their existence.
Discussion
That was actually a good article. I used to get "smile!" all the time when I was younger. I found that quite annoying, indeed. It is essentially saying that you aren't "good enough" the way you are so you must smile to improve your appearance AND do so in the presence of some creep wearing trousers that highlight his "builder's / plumber's crack." Also, what I find weird is when you're walking down the street and some creepy guy will "power stare" at you and once again, when I was younger, I would catch their eye - not because I was "interested" but because I wanted to make sure they weren't a threat. Some women are so selective when it comes to men that for them to even glance at a man may just mean she's sizing him up and not necessarily or sex. I am so glad that I am older and I don't get cat-called in the street anymore.
Wait....you mean other men beside myself think they are the center of the universe too...and here I thought I was all by myslef.
Its funny how guys don't see themselves doing the same thing. If a woman at the bar isn't holding our interest then we will ignore her...,why should women be any different?
