Dirty looks from others

Possibly it is nothing to do with your GF or what you order in cafes.

 

Perhaps people behave towards you as they do because you present in public as you do on AN.

 

I don't blame any of them if that is the case.

 

 

 

 

Only happened a few times in 20 years. Doesn't happen daily like on here. The people on here act like weirdos.

    This specific poster is wondering why he's getting dirty looks ???....     

  • I have zero interest in what others might think, unless it's someone I'm talking to or someone I know, total strangers are of no concern.   .

  • And yet another topic descends into a Bickering fest.   This is getting really tiresome.   CLOSED.

Paranoia is treatable. Maybe the OP should seek help.

I must admit I generally pay absolutely no attention to 'other people' when I'm going about my day to day business.

 

If they speak to me then I am receptive but apart from that they might as well not exist, and sometimes I'm not convinced they do exist :cheesy:

I like to people watch. It is fun. Lots of characters out there.

I don't believe the Op is Paranoid...    its completely believable that he receives dirty looks on a regular basis.

Don't they give you dirty looks in those gay bars?

Maybe you are no aware of it. Short sighted?

No, long-sighted actually.

 

It could also be because, I (like others who have already commented) usually pay scant attention to what others' attitude towards me is, when going about my daily routine.

So, what job does your GF do ?

So you can't get a gf and hire bargirls. I see.

He's avoiding the question - so she hasn't got a job. 

 

BUT.. not that it means a whole lot... My Wife doesn't have a job because she left it when our son was born, lots of people in that boat.

There's an old saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

 

I suspect it's the same with dirty looks.

Dirt in their eyes. Makes sense.

Try one time discussing the topic. Come on just once. 

 

I get quite the opposite.....only recently have I started wondering why complete strangers, wherever I am in the world, look at me and smile.

 

I have been asked by friends many times, while out strolling with them, after they have witnessed one such encounter, "Did you know them?" or "Why were they smiling at you"?

 

I also seem to exert a magnetic attraction upon anyone who is lost and needs directions.

 

That's enough of the "topic" for now.......it's still light, still time for you to go out and cast your magic spell upon those unfortunate enough to encounter you.

 

 

 

 

I give everyone a dirty look.

 

It means don't come close to me. Don't expect me to contribute to your GoFundMe

I get women perving on me all the time.

Farang woman in lift - dirty look cause you have a younger gf

 

Farang guy in cafe - dirty look cause you ordered large coffee and pancakes

 

Do you get dirty look from people?

 

Do wink at them? Tell them to go jump? Ignore them

I may get them but I tend to ignore them as I consider them to be idiots and I dont bother what idiots think.

Maybe they’re not giving you dirty looks. It’s more likely that they’re trying to get a better look at you and just want to hookup with you. How many have asked you out for a date? I’m not expecting an honest answer…

Messes around with his head and mind by the sound of it!

I don't think it's really "dirty" looks, but I have noticed a problem with staring and a tension when you pass another expat.

 

There's something about Asia where I think you're expected to greet other expats, as opposed to just ignoring people like happens in the Usa. Maybe something brotherly about being in a foreign land, and what have you...

I haven't noticed a staring and tension, it's either you or in your mind

How many people? I've got a gf. Don't need to ask strangers out on dates.
