Title: How Do U Guys Deal With Strange Stares U Get In Crowded Places?
Post by: dexter on May 09, 2010, 08:32:41 AM
hey guys i was wondering how do u guys deal with the funny stares u get in crowded n packed places like in train during peak hrs, in crowded lifts?

i live in a country/place where balding is almost non-existent epecially for youngsters like me. being bald at such a young age would make me a target of stare  :-[

if i were to go bald, that would be the most worrying factor that always puts me off. i m afraid i would not dare to step out once i go bald


how should i deal with it?

I can't remember somebody was actually staring at me. Of course, for some time after I went sly I sometimes had the feeling that someone was observing me.

In case of a real staring, I'd ignore it or give him/her a grin or a little humorous remark, like "Do you want to touch it?". Depends of the situation.
Just be cool.

I don't get funny stares either, but then, maybe older men wouldnt anyway? :-\

Mostly its all in your own mind: a feeling that people might be staring.  But nine times out of ten, they arent. 8)

I never get what one might call funny stares. Sometimes I do get "I ain't messin with him" looks. I usually disarm that with a smile. I don't know if that is from being bald or being a big guy.

Stares?  Ming never gets stares.  Ming never takes the train.  His Imperial Transport Vehicles are very private.

Well in USA, at least for air travelers, it's really lost any "stare" appeal it ever had.  They could by called the Sly Skies, passengers, pilots, stewards, TSA, ticket agents, service people in the vendors, it's like every other guy is sly.

My normal procedure is to expel gas from my lower intestine, look at whoever is standing next to me while holding my nose, and make some type of exclamatory statement having to do with the practice of farting in public. Something genteel, like: "Dude, Holy
$h!t, did it smell like that when you ate it?" All attention then gets riveted on them and ANYTHING they say only gets them in deeper. This works especially well in "lifts".

I would probably opt for "Go ahead, touch it - I know you want to..."

(Then again, that's just me...)  :D

When I first shaved my head, about four years ago, I figured I would be getting a lot of stares. And being tall, a head over just about everyone else, I am sure I do get stared at. But I never notice anyone looking. Except (seriously) a lot of attractive women. The only reason I can think of for that is that the attractive women are the only ones I pay attention to!

They can stare at me all they want, I feel that people have the god given right and if they want to stare good to go, take into context of the whole matter ( which I think is a decent topic ) someone might be starting at you because she ( or he for some ) might be attracted to you, if outs of conflict or for the fact that the indivual is a initmitated non-alpha male just disregard the individuals existence.....It's just not worth it.

I have a lot of tattoos (including my neck & knuckles), my septum is pierced, my earlobes are stretched to 5/8" and my head is shaved for for about 3 years I wore kilts, literally every day. So, I'm never really sure what it is exactly that has caught someones attention.  ???

But I have found that, universally the fastest way to respond is to make eye contact, blow them a kiss and smile (men or women). That usually solves the problem.  ;)

I do that at work when some one around me gets mad.  I ask them "Do you need a hug?".  ;D  
Usually makes them even more mad  ???  D#tG3t

I think I'm going to change my approach.  Based on a couple of guys avatars - if the person staring is a cute girl I'm going to ask her if she wants to kiss it.

Plenty of stare, but I just give the guys a business card to the barber shop and let them know they should try it.  For the lady’s, I just smile and say hello.

Bald people never get strange or funny stares in crowded place. In fact it's just jealous stares !!

Could be either one, but a nice sincere smile disarms that for me too.

in Korea, I got stares  because they are not accustomed to a sly and sexy guy as myself in their country.  I think it is a compliment when someone says they recognize me or noticed due to the glare of my dome: it is about confidence

As for the men, they are just saying to themselves that they wish that they had the balls to do it so the ladies would flock to them also. O0

I dont get stares, people think Im mean and will throw down in a heartbeat. If someone is staring at me I ask them "what the hell you looking at" or blow them a kiss. either one has the same outcome.. they stop!

The only time I can recall anyone staring was when I was at the Adelaide airport about 10 years ago. There was a bikie funeral on at  the time and a lot of bikies were flying in. It was just some outlaw bikies checking me out. Must of thought I was an outlaw bikie too with my shaved head and goatee. I don't mind being checked out if it's people thinking I look bad ass.

Well, being a 'bikie' (Dammag, I love you guys from Oz) and a patch holder, I'm used to getting stares wherever I go when I am flying my colors.  When I'm not flying, the women stare out of lust and the men from jealousy.

I must agree with Vincent.  I think most guys stare because they are jealous, and my dome is so shiny maybe that attracts them such as a lure to a fish  :)  I must admit I like when guys stare at me.  :D
