Jokes on you then. I’m probably staring because I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with that eye makeup, and I have no idea what that face is supposed to mean.
It’s the same face I am making trying to figure out the eye makeup
This would make me stare more. Maybe even say something, like, “are you ok?”
Yeah, if I’m staring at you, it means a) I’m thinking about what I’m cooking at home, or balancing HOR production with HOR-to-fuel conversion in Satisfactory and b) my eyes are so bad (I haven’t had prescription glasses for years now) that you’re a blur of colors.
That said, I wonder if she likes board games.
But all men are creeps, surely you’re lying? Men only stare at woman because they’re pigs, obviously. /s
That’s a horrible thing to say about women.
Heh, I see what you dud there
I feel the eyes one. When I was a kid and showing old people how to use a computer, I used to think they were slow. Like they had to think. Now that I’m older, I’m waiting for my eyes to focus.
That said, I wonder if she likes board games.
GET AWAY FROM US, BOARD JAMES!!
I think this image is peak “do I want to be her or be with her?”
then i wip out my coin slot 😹😹🫃🙏
All I see is crazy eyes which means she’ll most likely let me do the weird stuff
I can fix her
As a middle-aged man with a long history of crazy chicks in my past… Yeah this is working for me
It’s just always goes so bad, but it’s so much fun while it lasts.
Hey, you’ve made it out alive… So far!
The cats hair grows back.
Same, buddy. It doesn’t help that I’ve been drinking.
Drunken romantic decisions never go wrong buy her something.
She could fix me
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
NGL, kinda hot.
you remind me of my acid dropping goth friend from the 80’s. the “crazy” stare really sells it. wanna take drugs in the park and laugh at people in pleated jeans?
What does it mean when a middle aged man stars at you in public? Or, is starring at you? That sounds like some kind of situation in which you could probably call the cops.
The cops would probably guest star at you.

Staring is illegal?
It’s super uncomfortable. I nowadays feel like a movie star but without any of the positives that go with it and only the negatives. Well mostly, sometimes someone smiles nicely which is nice.
It’s super uncomfortable.
I absolutely get that, but I just didn’t think it was illegal or worth calling the cops for, which the person I replied to said should happen. But maybe I’m being naive.
it isn’t but you can’t know if it will possibly get illegal in a very short amount of time. Who can possibly know what these people think of or are up to. Sometimes you get the impression it’s nothing good as you squeeze your pepper spray with sweaty hands keeping your composure outwardly immaculate
Sia later
Is that flirting? My Social skill is still around 12/100, but I heard that face is what people call flirting
Could be “come hither”, could be “I have mace”
You’re not helping!
I think she’s trying to put them off to get them to stop staring. So the opposite of flirting. But it’s not super clear
I remember being young and thinking middle-aged people are staring at me because they want me /they disapprove/whatever.
Now I’m middle aged myself, I know the staring is way more likely to either be something along the lines of “ah that kid is so 90s, I never had that green colour but blue Fudge used to wash out to green like that…”
Or “have we run out of natural yoghurt, we bought that 500ml pottle last week but we had curry twice, maybe I should get some more…”
I’m still wondering how the 90s entered kids garderobes again overnight. Sometimes I see a very funny xxxxxxxxwide jeans and I talk about that with my kids in the car and yes I do stare a bit with curiosity and amusement.
Fashion goes in cycles. Personally I’m just waiting for the nice wide jeans to filter down to an affordable price point and then I’m going to get some for myself.
I hate skinny jeans. They feel cloying and I’m pretty sure they promote swamp crotch.
Even non skinny jeans got tight. I have really old Dickies pants and newer ones the same size. The legs are thinner and less comfortable, I buy 2-4 sizes up so my legs can move about at work.
It sort of felt like capitalism was embracing the skinny leg trend and that’s how it became so ubiquitous even outside of fashion. Same price, less fabric.
I know this Is an old post, but in the early 2000s 70’s fashion came back in vogue – a 30 years difference. And 30 years ago from today is the 90s, so it makes sense.
I think it’s a result of the 40 year old crowd. They’re a demographic with money and starting to get nostalgic for their childhood, so the market caters to that . Kids get exposed to it, a few trend setters decide it’s cool/vintage, and it takes off from there.
Or “have we run out of natural yoghurt, we bought that 500ml pottle last week but we had curry twice, maybe I should get some more…”
This is me. I have to really watch where I’m zoning out because I have absolutely been called out for staring when my brain was miles away.
I did this once in freshman year HS. I was sitting on my friend’s desk zoned out staring at a book on someone else’s desk, and I came out of it when a girl said “THOSE ARE BOOBS”
Idk how long I was staring, but I was still kinda pissed because she was just standing in front of me for no discernable reason.
Me too, it’s like the boring version of those “reveries” in Westworld.
Don’t worry.get enough PTSD and you can have the cool version too!
“OK so she must’ve bleached the full head then done the green side first, then the black side. Man her scalp must be itchy as fuck. What did I used to use to stop the burn? Coconut oil? Yeah that’s right. Smelt like Malibu for a week or so, and had to throw out that set of pillow cases. Man that sucks, I loved those pillow cases, perfect for winter. I wonder if you can still get them?”
I’ve gotten multicolor hairdo once. The darker colors don’t need bleach at all, just put black over natural.
If you separate your hair strands properly you can apply both dyes at the same time in one session, minimal crossbleeding.
Morpheus: “… and find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes.” Only it’s more like an interconnected maze of rabbit holes leading everywhere. I wonder if you can still get “pina colada” Malibu?
Theoretically she could part her hair with a knife and bleach the green side, wait 20 min and put the black side on with a toothbrush, then wash it and add the green as required?
I love how Gen Z has gone back to all that stuff.
With a knife?? Why not a comb???
There’s probably fancy metal hairdressing combs that would do it, but the “prow” of a normal comb is too blunt to separate the hair perfectly. You end up with strands from the left on the right etc.
The old DIY trick is to turn a sharp-pointed knife upside down so that the blade doesn’t face the scalp, and then use the point to gently part the hair. That’s how you get a perfect straight parting.
Okay, that’s a relief. I thought you were meaning to actually use a butterknife. I’ve only seen it done with rat tail combs so I was worried.
Starring at you? Like you’re a supporting character in a movie or like Mario?
I am middle age! I get stares from college kids haha, I look younger than I am. I don’t care who looks, and I am too autistic too stare at others 🤷♀️
There is a difference between a guy staring into the void, and an older guy checking you out. I’ve experienced both and I don’t understand how people manage to confuse the two.
It is in fact really easy to tell the difference, you just hear more about the times people make the mistake because it’s not noteworthy when somebody goes “that guy’s just staring off into space” and is right. You also likely have a bigger emotional reaction, assuming you’re a guy, to a woman mistakenly thinking a guy is staring at her and being wrong than you do the knowledge that women get stared at a lot, so it makes the first seem like it’s happening more often.
I’ve lived on both sides (trans) and can tell you I didn’t realize it was this common to get really obviously stared at by older men. And the older they are the more likely they are to do it, which is lucky, because I’m much less afraid of a 70 year old man doing anything to me than a 20-40 year old. I find the only thing I can do in that situation is to avoid looking them directly in the eyes, because they take that as a sign to approach.Am a woman. And sorry to hear about your bad experiences. Guess it comes with the territory huh? Older men sure know how to be creeps. And older women too. Cougars are predators after all.
Agreed. And older women being creeps too needs to be talked about more. Pretransition, in 7th grade, I had a math teacher who tried to flirt with me and it made me horribly uncomfortable, but I could never talk to anybody about it because people would act like that was a good thing and I should feel good for it, and those who acknowledged it was a problem still told me I must have imagined it. I can say one good thing about being a woman is despite encountering creeps way more often, at least I’m allowed to be upset about it now.
That’s fucking disgusting. She wasn’t just a creep, but a straight up peado.
Being either self-absorbed, or traumatised?
What? No. Just either stuck in a general thinking mood or think about all the things he’d want to do to you
Sorry…whot?
I am confusioned 😂
It’s cause your big fat nips are sapping your brain juice
One day, about 10 years ago, a guy pull out a knife to fight me in a subway station because he thought I was staring at him. Also got some nasty comments from women who thought I was looking at them when I didn’t even notice their presence. Now I try to look at the floor in public in case I get lost in my mind.
Fuck that’s horrible. Yeah. I made eye contact with a guy that lasted too long. We were walking towards each other. He grabbed the back of my head and pushed it down. Wasn’t as scary as it sounds. Just disrespectful. I avoid eye contact too. Some people are just evil.
