Do you always make eye contact?

[gonelifting]

Did you say people in CA are very polite? It must be different in Kal-eeh-fornia than when I lived there. Nothing but pricks EVERYHWERE. I'm used to southern hospitality though so that may be it.

lol Have you been to New Jersey? I hate it here.


Anyway, I never look at anyone. Too many people around to waste my time. You get nothing in return anyway. I tried but it sucks. On the other hand, when travekling to other states than NJ, I've found people genuinly nice and I'm the same way back. Makes you want to.... look up and see them, and smile.

SOME insecure guys consider male eye to eye contact as being "geigh".

I make eye contact with all dudes as a sign of respect and to show I ain't to be messed with and as for women. I make a short eye contact and then look down. It is a southern thing and I can't do anything about it cause my mother taught me to never stare at a lady. If I didn't do it she would slap me from the grave I am sure.

your momma "raised you right".

I was raised to look people in the eye when making contact, it's just plain good manners. It also shows that you are aware of your surroundings and confindent type of person who embraces life not shrugg away from it

You know sitting at the red light, walking past someone in the parking lot at the grocery store, gas station... etc? I tend to be an eye contact person, not for intimidation puposes but I was taught to keep my head high and look a person in the eye to show confidence and awareness. I find that beit where I am... usually sitting in the car at a red light and just look over and see someone looking at me, I make it a pt to make direct eyecontact with them and at least 90% of the time they immediately look away.

I don't think I look mean or anything so I'm not sure if its just that some people are uncomfortable looking people in the eye or not.

If you did that to me in the grocery store I would think you wanted me! It is wierd looking at people in cars at the stoplight. Interesting question.

I guess, I don't just stare over at them but I am always aware of my surronding and I notice little things like that.

i like this question. i think about eye contact a lot. i do that often enough, because i'm curious. i'm always looking at other people, and eye contact creates a momentary connection of some kind. i prefer to look at women, naturally. however, it's not usually natural or comfortable for me, and i often look away after a split second.

this is something that i 'work on'. it is a question of confidence, certainly. i don't, however, consider any of this in terms of respect or courtesy.

the closer I am to whom I'm attracted to,the more I emphasize eye contact
