What do attractive girls think about being checked out by hopeless people?

    By hopeless I mean anyone without any connection and never will have any connection with them.

    I'm curious.

    Do they (or you if you are one) feel complimented?
    Do they dislike it?
    Is the person completely invisible?
    What do they think?

    If you don't have a connection why ask them out? Oh because they're attractive. And the Hopeless One can offer: no connection, hopelessness and ...? So they feel...that would be a very very hard question.

    Ridiculous thread.

    I always like being admired. I smile back. They haven't a hope, but why be mean? It's still a compliment!

    T-thanks for the drink, bye


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭DareGod


    Here's how to answer your question and end the thread. Ask yourself, what do you think about being checked by people you consider to be hopeless people?

    Everyone else probably thinks the same.

    I'm fairly ugly but attractive girls are always smiling and winking at me. Stop lassies, I'm married, it p1sses off the Mrs and it makes ye look weird. Find a good looking lad to pester, will ye?

    They yell mean things at me and draw the blinds in my neighborhood.

    I've a few attractive friends who recite the prayer to St. Jude on such occasions.

    Literally, the first thing the OP did was explain what they meant by "hopeless person."


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,796 ✭✭✭Azalea


    Women being afraid of posting as it would mean they're saying they're attractive. :)

    There shouldn't be negative reactions to mere glances, smiling, saying hi etc (although I know there are some women who react like right ***** if the man has the audacity not to be attractive to her). It should be taken as a compliment. She should be polite back to him, just not to the point of giving him the wrong idea.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,191 ✭✭✭Eugene Norman


    Nobody male or female lower than a 9.5 should even think about glancing in my direction.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,195 ✭✭✭irish son


    I wonder this too OP, I give attractive women I see walking around during the day a kind of stare to say I think you're good looking. I'm not looking to start a conversation with them or anything like that, I'm just trying to let them now I find them attractive.

    I don't know if they take it as a compliment or think I'm some sort of freak :D

    Because that's simple isn't, being just nice enough so that some hopeless ****er won't get ideas above his station. It's up to the uggo to aim within his own league and not get the hump when a pretty girl does not want to bang him.

    I'm with Azalea on this one, and I'm not saying that I'm a model or anything but I wouldn't react negatively to a smile or polite conversation or whatever (I'd feel flattered and take it as a compliment). If someone though is leering or being sleazy or creepy I'd just try to get away to be honest.

    What does checking someone out actually mean? Like staring at them? I think staring at anyone is rude and a bit creepy, but that's just me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,786 ✭✭✭wakka12


    Most girls Ive talked to about this don't think being stared at is a compliment unless the guy is attractive to them


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,522 ✭✭✭paleoperson

    Well staring kind of implies looking at too for too long, it's kind of built into the word that it's too much. I'm talking about normal looking, or getting "caught" looking, not staring.

    :pac: :pac: there is some science behind this though, us males,apparantly,are apparently more 'visual' when it comes to the laws of attraction,whereas with women,its a multitude of things. Well groomed,confident,generous,good at holding conversation,witty,emphatic,the list goes on.I personally reckon I punch way above my weight concerning affairs of the heart.I look seriously shady,but some ladies like that too it seems,I'm sure several of my aestheticly challenged boards brothers,and maybe even some of the ladies will agree.I suppose the point I'm trying to make goes back to the old adage 'don't judge a book by its cover'.

    I've lost nearly 5 stone in the last few years and when I was heavier I was well used to being invisible. I still forget that I've lost weight sometimes so when I occasionally see a fella looking at me I automatically assume that there's something on my face or I look down at my outfit to see if I have toilet paper on my shoe or something :pac: Then I think ''oh wait, I'm not invisible any more, maybe he's actually just checking me out'' :D

    What qualifies as hopeless?
    On the file?
    Living with parents?
    No personality?

    Let's just say random people that you see that you will never see again or else something else that means you will never hook up with them.

    First off,good for you.I used to box,5 stone off is NOT easy.Secondly your probably right, you were being checked out,but women tend to be a lot more self conscious than us chaps.For example, a body part that a woman might hate about herself, let's use hips for example, could be the very thing that caught the chaps attention to begin with.

    But crappy that you consider yourself hopeless, Paleo.


    I feel like a broken record saying this but women are different and react differently to different things, just like men. I can't see why any decent human-being, irrespective of what they look like, would have issue with what you've outlined above. I personally don't make judgements on men and label them "hopeless" unless they're acting like dickheads, so I have no issue with any man, whether HE believes he's hopeless or not, checking me out.

    The only thing I have a problem with is being touched without permission or being shouted at in public or being stared at by absolutely anyone.

    This is so true, I absolutely hate those two weird dimple things on my lower back, would like a normal back, a few guys over the years have said that they actually really love them- not just on me, on any woman! Although maybe they were just saying it so I'd feel less bad about my nasty back :pac:

    I think that the dimples are really sexy, so maybe they weren't just saying it to you to make you feel better! :D

    After a rigourous and indeed thorough search of several 'adult streaming sites' my quest for back dimple porn bore no fruit. Go forth and revel in your uniqueness!!

    What exactly is a hopeless person? Romantic? Not good looking? Not cool? Doesn't have the right phone? Doesn't drink in the right bars? Not enough followers on twitter? Wrong clothes? Bad hair? Unemployed? Doesn't know Kim Kardashian is?

    In certain circumstance, I have ended up working casually with girls who most guys would rate 10/10, with catwalk good looks and figure, without airs or graces about them( on film sets as an extra). In one case she really wore her heart on heart sleeve ended up, telling me how happy she was in her marriage etc. I can promise you I am no oil painting, but she was pushing this whole conversation and did try to kiss me at the end of the work day. I made my excused and left.

    I'm ugly and repellant enough I try to not look at people at all, if possible. Don't wanna be weirding them out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    I was in Peurto Rico once and womens there would be offended if you did not give them admiring glances. Just a cultural thing.
    And in my eyes most of those Peurti Rican women are absolute stunners.

    Ah Miles, you shouldn't feel that way about yourself, regardless of what you look like, easier said than done I know, of course.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    Did someone say back dimples?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    There's little about my physicality that's disarming and shur I know there are better looking guys than me in general so I was always very discrete for fear of intruding [to quote JM, women seem wicked, when you're unwanted" has always struck a chord with me]. I'm in not position to think about romancing for a multitude of reasons now (zero spare time) so maybe that makes me a little hopeless. When I was last in a relationship I often found myself being checked out quite a bit (which feels great to me) but now I'm the hopeless one, I'm inclined to avoid any obvious checking out...

    You know what, I am attractive. It took me a very very long time to realise it (21 years). Not only had I myself convinced I was ugly by secondary school, but I had completely accepted it and was completely ready for a single life when I left secondary school after not one boy showed any bit of interest in me up until that time. I was the only person that year who didn't have a date for the debs. I was even bullied where my complete lack of boys was a favourite topic, so it was really solidified in my mind that I was ugly and that was that.
    When I went to uni, it was a very weird experience. It was the first time in my entire life that I had ever had any attention from the opposite gender, and since I'm not trying to be modest in this post, I got a lot of it. It was overwhelming. I kept coming up with excuses for it such as it being dark in a nightclub or that they're just taking the piss, before eventually accepting it. I still didn't believe I was goodlooking as such. I mean, I had spent my whole life being told I had any looks at all by only my mother and family, but being told I was ugly by my "friends". However, after 4 years of it (including getting an amazing boyfriend), I was forced to admit that maybe I wasn't so ugly after all.
    Now? Next week I'm going into a modelling agency in order to discuss a signing. It wasn't something I asked for, the agent found me.
    So yes, I am attractive and I think the mentality this country (and a lot of others have) that someone thinking they're attractive is somehow wrong, is one of the main reasons so many young girls (and boys) have deep rooted insecurities. I don't mean bigheadedness or egotism or the "yeah, I'm just amazing", but I don't believe there's anything wrong with being able to admit that you're attractive. Heck, it took me years to be able to entertain the notion. Even now, I still get periods where my self esteem collapses again, but if I were to give into the idea that we shouldn't admit we're attractive, I would never come out of those lapses. I think this notion we put on ourselves that we shouldn't be allowed to think we're goodlooking, is one of the main reasons so many people have problems with how they look.

    I'm happy for you. Some of us grow up to be ugly ducks!! On a serious note, I definitely improved with age but growing up, I got a lot of stick about the way I looked. It's extremely difficult to shake off the harm that this done even when you know it's not rational.


    O/T - how do you feel about being oogled by strangers?
