Look, if I catch you looking my way, I might even get the hint that you find me attractive, but I really need more context than that. I’m not going to proposition every woman that makes eye contact with me. The risk of misinterpreting something and coming across as a creep is way too high.

You aren’t the vast majority of men on 4chan who assume any woman that glances at them is hitting on them. That’s why femanon is so confused at why her approach is failing.
Glancing isn’t even needed, physical proximity is also an indicator.
I saw this girl staring straight into my eyes. I almost told her Arch btw, but the memes told me not to.
jk, I tipped my fedora and said a passing hello. No room in life for a trad sub
“Good day, m’lady!”
“Are you perchance familiar with the glorious medium of Japanese animations?”
Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior, linus torwalds?
Girls think looking at people indicates interest? How the hell am I meant to know that?
Please, use your words!
Girls ≠ Girls that are on 4chan
Me + You = fun
Context?
I always make hard eye contact because woman say that guys always look down at their boobs and I’ve caught myself doing that exact thing.
I actually do this as well because I’ve been told so much about guys looking at boobs when talking to women. I make extra effort to keep eye contact. So because of that I’ve been told “it’s intense.” That’s from people that know me so that is probably the polite version.
No matter what you do, it’s wrong. Thus we revert to rule 1 and 2; be attractive
Hold on, you messed up the rules. 2 is don’t be unattractive.
Oh damn, that’s why I’m not getting any chicks
You also have to break eye contact periodically. Body language is complex.
I find small breasts the most attractive, but sometimes large breasts are just so eye-catching that you can’t not look at them, especially when a large proportion of the surface area is not covered. It’s especially annoying to have women offended by this when it’s not even my thing.
I feel like making hard eye contact would be creepy so I just don’t look at women. Wow that sounds terrible, more I just look at the ground while walking and don’t look at anyone. Hmmm, not sure that’s an improvement…
You make it sound like the only two possible places to look at are their eyes and their chest. Hmm.
I don’t want anyone to learn about my foot fetish, which is why I just stare at my phone’s home screen or at a nearby window.
I think I’m starting to realize why I don’t have a real social life.
Well, it’s hard to see their butt from the front…
times like this i wish i was mr fantastic. just pop the head up and over in the middle of a conversation
In addition to things others have said in reply, maintaining eye contact is a direction given in speech and leadership classes. Looking at someone you are talking to shows interest, engagement, and respect. It would be weird in a different way if you were speaking to someone and just staring at their hands or staring off into space. It’s not that there are two options, but if you’re having a conversation with someone, it’s normal to be looking at them.
While I get the point you’re trying to make, the only normal place to look at when talking to someone is their face, which is kinda small, and the two parts of the face that convey emotion are the eyes and mouth.
So you can either come off as a creep for looking at her boobs or come off as a creep for making eye contact. The game is fucking rigged.

Heh, nerd.
She could just be Canadian. They’re really polite.
The cute boy said I was too intense, so I just stared at him until he started to cry
Anon realised not everyone interested in pokemon battle.
I think the pendulum of gender empowerment has swung in women’s favor so much that for alot of guys, there’s the fear of coming across as a creep for even trying to flirt or staring too long at a woman. At my work, there’s a fairly sizable amount of women, but the dangers from acting interested towards any women could cost you your job.
We had one lady who got a security guard fired because she said he made her feel uncomfortable, not that any incidents had happened at all, she really couldn’t even say that he had said or done anything offensive, she just had a bad feeling because he seemed “weird” and reported it to HR. Just the feeling of uncomfortableness is enough to get somebody dismissed in some places.
Granted, that’s at a workplace and workplace romances probably aren’t a good idea anyways, but society in general has primed me to think that any advances towards women are unwelcome, unless they’re not. You’ll never know unless you risk getting reported just for trying. So the incentive is to just not try unless it’s blatantly obvious, because I know I could easily misread basic kindness for sexual interest. Even going on walks, I have to avoid walking behind women for fear they’ll think I’m following them or that I’m being a creep.
In day to day encounters between plebs, women have all the power in relationships in Western society, men are like dogs on a leash. If you want to show us interest, just give us a pat on the head, scratch our chin, or something.

I have seen guys report women to HR because of actual, verifiable sexual harassment (physical touching, etc.) and be laughed out of the HR office because “women cannot sexually harass a man” and “men always want it”. Many of these men were also punished for attempting to report, with some even being fired.
They asymmetric societal standards currently in place are insanely misandric and bleedingly hypocritical.
I guess it depends on how replaceable the man is.
This is why I have only ever reached out to women on dating sites.
Dating sites are absolutely horrendous experiences for worthless shitheads like myself, but I will not just hit on random people I see when I’m out and about. They’re just trying to live their lives in peace, at least if you’re on a dating site you know they are interested in meeting someone.
Unfortunately though the corpo fucks at MatchGroup bought and killed every good dating app and now that they’re all useless tinder clones I don’t use anything.
If you want to show us interest, just give us a pat on the head, scratch our chin, or something.
Got to be honest, I think them doing that would confuse me even more.
“Lady, I have no idea what the fuck you are doing but please don’t stop.”
I’ve been hit on by a variety of genders and have never noticed a single time! Except for months/years later. …I think.
Use your words

My assumption would be that she’s going to punch me in the face for accidentally being offensive.
Step 2: offer them delicious food OR offer to have sex with them
offer them delicious food
She’s probably just being friendly.
offer to have sex with them
Yeah, still not sure, might just be her way of being friendly.
Yeah, could just be Canadian, they’re very polite.
Its a sting operation
Emphasis on OR. If you do both he will turn into Al Bundy
Yeah, don’t make me pick.
I would actually be interested to know all the responses were.
