What do people walking past you say about you?

Asked by lovelessness (659points) September 18th, 2013 from iPhone

It’s fun to see what you’ll say!
I often get giggles or laughs, which makes me a bit self conscious about myself.
Once I heard a girl say to a guy: “Did you see how beautiful the girl was?” which seems weird since people often laugh about me.
I get compliments on my shoes or hats.
Nobody has ever smiled at me, its usually careless looks.

So you? What are some comments you remember you’ve gotten?

I was called really handsome the other day, so that’s good.

I am always cracking jokes and making conversation with strangers, I am often told I have made someones day. Even in my present, less than happy, circumstances I always go forth with a smile and a joke. That counts for a lot right now, let me tell you!

“That guy sure had a nice tie.”

I have never been aware of anyone saying anything about me. I guess I blend in with the background, which is fine with me. I don’t want to draw attention. I prefer to be more subtle.

I don’t know, never really got the chance to hear anyone say anything about me. Everytime someone looks at me, they turn into stone.

“Did you see the tits on that guy?” (No, it hasn’t gotten that bad yet.)

Last Saturday I went hiking with a beautiful young black woman about half my age. She commented to me during our walk that she likes to look at young couples (without kids, and especially mixed-race couples) and imagine how cute their kids would be. So all afternoon I was imagining people saying that about us, too. I was smiling all day.

I once wore a unicorn mask to school and people stared and commented at me all day. The most common was “What the fuck?!” but I got comments that ranged from “That’s awesome!” to “That’s creepy!”

People smile. Men and women. Whatever that means.

“Wow. That woman can spell definitely. And she also has the world’s most handsome cat.”

I don’t know if I’ve ever really noticed anyone saying anything about me as they’ve walked past me. I have noticed people checking me out, though. Some people are really not subtle about it…

I’ve been whistled at a few times. But mostly I get comments about how adorable my son is. Nobody cares about my looks anymore. The kid gets all the attention! :)

“He’s trying to get that Duck Dynasty thing going on”

“I wanna make love to you in the Transformers aisle at Toys R Us”
That’s just the men, randy bastards.

How would I know? I can’t hear them once they’ve walked past me,

Look at that really fat ugly guy!

rojo's avatar

“Who’s the old fart?”. Unless I am at RenFair (Which is starting next month!) in which case they usually say “Who’s that old wizard fart?”

lovelessness's avatar

Hahaha you guys are hilarious!

lovelessness's avatar

I dont get why people look at me then crack up. I must be a comedian. I dont require any effort to get people laughin!

ItalianPrincess1217's avatar

@lovelessness Maybe they aren’t laughing at you? Maybe you’re paranoid so you think every time someone has a smile on their face or is giggling with their friends, it’s really at you. Odds are, they aren’t paying any attention to you. Unless you have a purple spiked Mohawk or something about you that really stands out about your appearance.

I very rarely get any comments at all, except “I like your hat” (I nearly always wear one outside). Earlier this year a random guy (obviously gay) told me he thought I was gorgeous and asked for my phone number. I had to disappoint him though, and told him that I wasn’t single.

lovelessness's avatar

They stare at my face and crack up

@lovelessness I have a hard time believing anything you say on here. The things you claim happen to you are so odd and outlandish. I just don’t believe any of it and I don’t know what response you’re looking for.

Mama_Cakes's avatar

@livelaughlove21 Check this out. All sorts of bizarre.

Yesterday my co-worker walked past me and asked me if I’d eaten a lot of garlic. I did eat a lot of garlic. I ate about 6 cloves of pickled garlic. I brushed my teeth, flossed and used mouthwash before I came into work. Apparently that didn’t help. I had planned to eat more garlic last night, but after that, I felt a wee bit self conscious.

Same co-worker farted openly and un-self consciously later in the day. He laughed and I laughed. We’re pretty good friends, so I wasn’t too horrified that he asked me about the garlic.

Maybe if I just eat one clove of pickled garlic tonight.

I feel it has allot to do with interpretations and social customs, in some cultures to provide an example an obese women is considered sexually appealing and attractive. In North Amerca, well due to the media’s interpretation it’s quite the opposite.

It appears @lovelessness deleted her account. Probably didn’t appreciate being called out on her bullshit.
