[quote=Cogiteur][quote=Anonymous]I am a normal looking 28 year old woman. I'm not fat and do my hair and makeup most days. How come I never get checked out? 
My friend however has guys flocking to her all the time.

Why?[/quote]

I think you're talking about two different things here, OP. There's getting checked out, and then there's guys flocking to you (i.e. getting hit on).

Like other PPs have pointed out, you may very well be getting checked out, but are simply unaware of it. I would say this [i]surely[/i] is the case. My suggestion? Invest in a pair of dark sunglasses, the kind that completely conceal your eyes, then keep your head up and take a look around. I guarantee it will be like strapping on a mask and going scuba diving for the first time. Suddenly a whole new world will appear before you.  :wink: Mine work like a charm. (Women, btw, are truly [i]masters[/i] of the stealth check out. It really is an art form.)

Having guys hit on you is an entirely different matter. What do you actually consider a hit? I was at the grocery store the other day and noticed a very attractive woman. We kept running into each other in the aisles, and I smiled politely once or twice - nothing dramatic. We ended up walking out at the same time, and as we were parting ways I said, in as nonthreatening, noncreepy a way as I could, "That's a beautiful dress." (Note: When a man tells you your dress is beautiful, it means he thinks [i]you[/i] are beautiful.) There was no expectation of anything, no pressure for her to even respond. She said "Thanks," and smiled at me, and then went on her way. Did I hit on her? Did [i]she[/i] think I hit on her? I think it depends on your definition. I wanted to connect with a beautiful woman for one moment, and I did. I didn't buy her a drink, or ask her if she just fell from heaven. But I thought she was beautiful, and I wanted to tell her, and if instead of "Thanks," and walking away, she'd stopped and said, "Thanks, you just made my day," well, then who knows ...

I think sometimes a hit masquerades as something else - a compliment, praise. Or maybe it's nothing. That's the game.  :wink: [/quote]
