Is that flirting? My Social skill is still around 12/100, but I heard that face is what people call flirting
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
Could be “come hither”, could be “I have mace”
You’re not helping!
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.

GET AWAY FROM US, BOARD JAMES!!
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.
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
Middle aged men today? They’re millennials and that’s called a 1000 yard stare.
You’ll understand soon.
They’re thinking about the house they can’t afford.
When I was 18, this girl would have been my idea of absolute perfection.
The responses to this post have been disgusting
Cool story chief.
Yeah its like they don’t understand the difference between just looking at someone that has a cool haircut and someone creep staring at you to where you feel unsafe.
I don’t want people staring at me like I’m a zoo animal. Bur apparently people in the comments here don’t understand that.
I mean, cockatiels can be seen in a zoo.
If you look like one, people will stare…
Look at your getup, do you want attention or not?
“She’s asking to be objectified.”
No, she’s not. And this sexist argument needs to stop.
Sexist to notice someone with bright unnatural hair and heavy near clown makeup, sure. She’s keeping such a low profile, I can’t believe she would be looked at.
I agree it’s attention getting but that’s nowhere near the same as “asking to be objectified.” That’s fucked you think they’re the same
So if people dress a certain way its okay to stare like a weirdo? The post isn’t about just looking at someone. Its old creeps staring at young girls. There is a difference.
Weirdoing begets weirdoing. All sexuality and age stuff aside, she is being weird too, which seemed like the point here.
Though I wonder how much age really has to do with it. These days her classmates probably are running AI off her yearbook photo, if not her instagram. So an old guy looking at her funny in meatspace is probably more innocuous.
“everything I don’t like is attention-seeking”
Who said I didn’t like it? I just think it’s silly to draw attention to yourself then not want that attention.

The narcissism on so many levels is such an adorable aspect of this generation

thisevery generationSame thing happened in : 90s with Goths, 80s with New Wave , 70s with gender fluid androgyny, 60s with hippies, 50s with rock and roll… 20s with flapper girls.
People like to star apparently.
Starring at you? Like you’re a supporting character in a movie or like Mario?
love on first sight
would not work on me
I’m so confused! All of the comments seem to understand, but I’ve got NOTHING. Is she doing something? I just see a smile!
She’s trying to do ominous wide-eyes, like a manic character from a cartoon or something, the idea being that she would “scare away” the older gentleman with her “unhinged” look.
Of course to anyone who has lived even a week in the real world, instead it just looks like somebody trying to looking intimidating and failing
Intimidation isn’t the goal, mocking the creeper is.
I don’t really see how this can be mocking, it’s just weird, which I am aware is the point
NGL, kinda hot.
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…”
“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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Huh. There’s always someone who looks like someone you have almost forgotten.
