Monique said:I did that trick as well :rofl: Not that it worked, because now I had guys asking what that ring was for.
Of course I couldn't lie, so I'd say it's just a ring, nothing special
THIS is soooo funny!:rofl:

You say you don't like the attention, but I don't believe it. I bet you put make-up on and everything.
Flies, as well as bees, maybe attracted to the same flower.HeLiXe said:>_> yeahh... I doubt that will work either. What about guys who don't like makeup? Taking care of yourself is a mark of confidence and self esteem, not an invitation for unwanted attention.
You can't be mad at guys for being guys either, asking girls out is just as much a guy thing as looking after your appearance is a girl thing.AUK 1138 said:You can't be mad at a woman for being a woman.
All guys likes makeup, the question is just where they draw the line. All guys likes makeup they don't notice which is why women who are really good at putting on makeup makes it in such a way that it is hard to notice. Then there are these freaks who wear makeup in other ways, that is what some guys don't like.HeLiXe said:What about guys who don't like makeup?
Then you are neutral towards the whole appearance thing? I mean, makeup is no miracle worker but you should know that seemingly negligible things can have large impacts on peoples opinions. Just about every female plucks her eyebrows for example, so common that it has become a way to tell the sexes apart.Astronuc said:I actually don't like make up. I find it unnecessary.

AUK 1138 said:true. however, awkwardly attempting to hit on a woman isn't very manly. It's cowardly.
Gee, what a male comment to make. And when a woman wears a nice dress, that gives men permission to say anything they want?leroyjenkens said:You say you don't like the attention, but I don't believe it. I bet you put make-up on and everything.
MissSilvy said:Current junior in physics at a pretty well ranked university, but our physics department has an 11 to 1 ratio of men to women. I don't feel academically intimidated or opressed or anything but I HATE that I can't ever get along casually with my fellow students. The two girls I see sometimes and myself get along fine, but every single time I try to put together a study group or just hang out in the physics lounge with a few guys, it always turns into this awkward unreciprocated attraction. Literally, without exception so far. Which leads to poor nerdy guys working up to courage to awkwardly ask me out to get a coffee sometime and me gently saying no, but by then the friendship is shot.
This is in no way to be constructed as "Haha, I'm so good looking that everyone wants me!" because just having a pair of breasts seems to do the trick, but come on now. This situation is getting ridiculous. I don't want to date, I don't have time to date, and I am not attracted to any of them. I want a few people I can hang out with, talk about physics, and possibly moan about classes. It's going to be a lonely two years if this keeps up and I'm not looking forward to that :( Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just the other weekend it was hot and I was wearing a dress inside the house, but I needed to go to the store. It was a perfectly fine dress, but I decided it would probably attract attention so I changed into about 4 other dresses until deciding it was not worth the trouble and changed into some jeans. Of course you then still have the men who decide to make a comment that you are wearing jeans in warm weather Does it ever occur to men that you are not out to attract their attention?

It's the law of unintended consequences. :rofl:
It is not cowardly, how else would awkward nerds get any girls? By just sitting in a corner reading books?AUK 1138 said:true. however, awkwardly attempting to hit on a woman isn't very manly. It's cowardly.

^^this made me LOLKlockan3 said:In a way I think that if she puts on noticeable amounts of makeup she would scare away the nerds, probably the easiest way to do it without scaring away all of the guys.
That is not the same thing since that is a specific taste, but roughly all guys likes to drink and eat. All guys have different taste in how they want women to look! "No makeup" is not a look in the same way as "makeup" is not a look either, makeup can however be used to alter your look in some way. Saying that you don't like "makeup" thus doesn't really make sense, it is kinda like saying that you don't like "spices".HeLiXe said:All guys like Dr. Pepper, gin, and salted peanuts.
That would look really cool on a 4 m x 4 m canvas in an art museum, but not on a person. All it needs is proper lighting, and . . . . .HeLiXe said:All guys like Dr. Pepper, gin, and salted peanuts.

No, but don't act surprised and complain when they do.Gee, what a male comment to make. And when a woman wears a nice dress, that gives men permission to say anything they want?
I understand what you're saying, but my point is that women like the attention. They may complain about it, but that's just to let other people know that someone found them attractive. Complaining about it allows you to tell the story in a way that doesn't sound like bragging.Does it ever occur to men that you are not out to attract their attention?
Astronuc said:I caution people about generalizing to either gender.
Some women want attention - many do not.
Some women/men play games - many do not.
Some women/men like makeup - some do not.
When it comes to matters concerning me, I'll speak for myself. I generally do not conform to what 'men like . . . ' or 'men dislike . . . .'. I have my unique preferences. Most women I know have unique personal preferences.
People just have to take others on a case by case basis, and a poor relationship with a member of the opposite gender (or any individual of any group) does not qualify/define the entire gender (all other members of said group).
At what school of psychology did you learn that?leroyjenkens said:No, but don't act surprised and complain when they do.

Not harassment kinds of attention, but when guys fawn over them, they love it. I'm not even the kind of guy to do that, but I just really don't buy into their complaints. They'll sacrifice comfort to wear tight clothes, go to the club "just to dance" and then complain later about all the guys who tried hitting on them. Get real.(emphasis mine)
That's a pretty bold, general statement. To what type of attention are you referring? All types of attention?
I can't fault someone who is disgusted by perverted stares/comments, sexual objectification, or any other type of harassment.
