Why do people get offended when someone checks them out?

Recommended Posts

Obviously it's more women getting offended or creeped out when guys are checking them out, but having worked in a bar for 5 years, I've some guys get weirded out when women are excessively ogling them also.

The point is...the first perception is visual and physical, no matter how you cut it. Whether it's a smile at someone or a look, that's all we get at first. So why the hell do people get offended? As long as you're not acting like a complete weirdo (goes for both sexes), what's so difficult about smiling back at someone when you smile at them? All you're really saying is 'damn you're good looking and yes I noticed that.' :P

In the setting you mentioned, smiling back probably will be taken as a sign of interest....usually taken as a come-on.

Hell, just smiling at someone there is usually taken as a come-on.
My reality and yours are quite different.

I'm not taking about just there. On the street, subway, coffee shop, etc. Smile back or something if someone smiles at you...ya know? It's not that difficult!

That's like saying we have 10 billion tons of crude oil twenty miles below the surface. We know we have it, but who the hell wants to dig that deep? :P

agreed. If you get hit on its a compliment so why get offended. Even if you're not interested, accept the compliment and move on. I'm equally annoyed when women don't think they're hot & refuse to let anyone tell them otherwise. Like at work, we need to come up with team names for our groups for a team building scavenger hunt. Our all girl team wants to be the "Jalapeno Hotties" but we cant because one girl doesnt want to be called a hottie since she doesnt believe it to be true. >:( (sorry to go slightly off topic just wanted to vent)

... I don't have pics. & that would be super creepy for me to try to get them. I will admit that she is not the most gorgeous girl out there, but not to the point of extreme ugliness like she seems to think...
