I agree with you. Makes me uncomfortable. I like wearing sunglasses while driving because it makes it easier to avoid eye contact.
It depends on what I'm doing. When I used to run in high school, people would drive up behind me and honk and scare the #$&* out of me. Now if there was a cute guy checking me out in a non obnoxious way, I would probably feel kind of hot! So creepy guy oogling me, not so much.
Makes me very uncomfy. I don't know who they are or what they are thinking. The worst part is when they make a rude comment or make noises with their mouth. Oh gosh... it's just uncalled for.
Living in the city, being "checked out" often is kind of a given. The streets, subways, etc. are just so crowded and there's so many people all around. I often find it flattering as long as it's not too creepy.
True story: Bono checked me out once when I was walking down the street ;o)
You all make very good points. I think if it was an attractive guy, then i would be a little flattered ;] But the yucky, creepy man... Not so much. It seems to me like there's more creeps than there are good lookers :]
My only claim to fame is one of the guys from the Ghost Hunters show checking me out. :-( I = nerd for that one.
If it is in a creepy, sloooow kinda way? not so much! But other times? Flattering and I often enjoy it.I used to be a pretty big flirt and raise my eyebrows and all...now I just enjoy the compliment ;)
@hotchildinthecity- Wow!! That's quite a compliment from Bono ;]
@artichokesalad- I've never seen that show... I'll have to look him up ;]
Ew, no. Although, I have to admit that I haven't been checked out in a long time, since I put on so much weight. :( So I miss being WORTHY of being checked out, but I don't miss the attention at all.
I hate it! It makes me feel disgusting. Like hotchildinthecity says though, its a regular occurence here in NYC. Its a struggle not to say something mean, or to give a dirty look! But I don't know these people so I don't know what they'd do (I work with victims, you'd be surprised what kind of little things will set someone off).
I get frustrated, make sure there's no one behind me, slam on the breaks and put my hands up in the air! I know, it's probably not the best thing to do but... Seriously?!
I work in a restaurant at the moment and get checked out all the time. I don't really notice it anymore because I don't care. My mom always comments on it when we go shopping together (it creeps her out) and FI does too(he likes it).
Sometimes. If it's the creepy "staring at your boobs" or saying something nasty to me, NOT ok. Gross. I keep my shades on (which i perpertually wear) and pretend I don't see/hear. Now, if it's just a regular person taking a look, well, that's gonna happen. I'm 5'11" and when I go out, I wear heels. People notice. Usually comment on my height or my eyes. Sometimes what I'm wearing. Not a big deal. I've sort of accepted the fact that I stand out in a group, simply for the fact I'm taller than most women. My mom always said to be gracious when someone gives you a real compliment. If someone tells me i'm pretty, i say thank you. It doesn't happen every day and it always makes me feel good =]. But there is definitely a difference between the gross "i want to bone you" check out and the "oh she looks hot" check out. The latter always feels good =]
I don't really like it.. I don't have eyes for anyone else, and I don't want anyone making eyes at me! haha. Though if someone is polite and says something nice, i'm not offended. Creeps though omg, make me feel gross.
If it's not creepy; I kind of like the "I still got it" attention!
But my favorite is when I notice my SO secretly checking me out... I'll notice him checking out my butt as I'm walking ahead of him or out of a room...after 4 years, if I can still turn his head, then it's garunteed that I still got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly I think it depends on a few things:
The situation: Is this in line at the grocery store, or in line for confession at church?
The person: Are they attractive or homeless?
The look: Are they looking, or are they making riduculous remarks
And Lastly, MY MOOD: some days I'm just not in the mood for it :)
My FI says that I am completely oblivious and that I never notice when men check me out. He says he sees men check me out all the time when we are together, but I never notice. Which I guess is a good thing.
I agree with Ella, it all depends on the situation! If it's right than I feel flattered and like it! It's harmless after all
Me too! And it always seems like it is the creepy men that check me out!!!!
I used to notice and appreciate it. Any more though I'm either not getting checked out or I'm oblivious. Both options are equally likely. :-)
Oh, I don't really appreciate it any more either unless it's not at all creepy or overdone. Most of the time I don't like it though, especially not in cars. I used to drive a little truck in college and for whatever reason used to get a TON of surprised looks followed by slowing down to check me out in that thing. (What, a cute blond girl can't drive a truck!? It was just a Tacoma, for Pete's sake!) Now that I drive a CR-V, not so much. lol
I admit it: I am a bit of an attention whore :) So, unless it's over-the-top creepy, I enjoy it.
I agree with everyone about beig grossed out by the creepy guys but super flattered when the cute ones do it lol. Last summer I was walking back to work, I had just gotten a haircut/blow out during lunch and a guy walking with some girl just looks at me and says "Omg you are beautiful!" He might have been lying lol but I believed him said thank you and had a huge grin the whole day!
i don't mind it, it usually just makes me laugh. not too long ago there were two younger guys in the car next to me and my husband, and they totally checked me out. i don't know what they thought about the guy (my husband) sitting next to me was all about, but they didn't seem to care. and we had a good laugh.
it creeps me out and makes me feel awesome all at once. I've had 3 kids and have recently lost about 60lbs. It makes me giddy inside knowing that I've still got it.
If it's on the street, no. It makes me feel vulnerable and uncomfortable. At a bar or in a restaurant, yeah it's flattering :)
I love when men check me out. I'm kinda conceited, so it's a given.LOL Reminds me fione I am.
Its kinda bittersweet... I don't like it yet at the same time, it makes me feel attractive & I'm flattered. Now, if it was by some creeper than I just want to run or hide. I can't ever tell when people check me out thou. FI will tell me that some guy was checking me out & I'll say "oh really?".
It depends on my mood and my location. If I'm grouchy, tired, walking down the street, hear kissy sounds, thenthat person will be proud recipient of my bitchiest, slitted-eye snarl. Oh, and I live in L.A., so like hotchildinthecity said, it's just a given.
I'm flattered by it. As long as there is no calling out of rude, obnoxious comments or obvious staring, I don't mind it at all :) I know the boy thinks I'm hot but it never hurts to have it confirmed by others :p
I like it when I am out with FI and I can tell that men adore me- not gonna lie. It feels good, makes me feel like I have still got something. Especially if I get a free drink from a bartender. Not in a disrespectful way- just saying they enjoy having us there. If it is really creepy low class men and I am alone- that is no fun at all!
Depends if the guy is good looking or not. If it's a creepy old guy... not so much.

I don't know about anyone else but I can't stand it when people slow down or keep a pace with you to check you out and see what your reaction will be. I mean, who likes that?! It makes me uncomfortable knowing that someone is in the lane next to me, pacing me until I get frustrated, look over at them and give them a nasty look.
Anyone else agree?!
