its important to note that just because a person looks at you for a half second, that doesnt mean they are staring.

completely dressed up more than usual and with a camera following you around "why do people stare at me??" 😆

Everything you say is true, and I don't disagree. The people are staring at the woman because she is attractive, but they could also be staring at the cameraman who is following her while she walks seductively, wondering what she is filming. This experiment should be conducted without the cameraman being visible.

The look of awe for attractive people versus the look of pity for unattractive people. People want to be friends with those who look good, people naturally gravitate to more pleasant looking humans than unpleasant ones, since childhood. I saw this myself with my nephews and nieces, they were around 3/4, and they didn't want to say hi back to someone, almost started crying, because they looked "scary"(I know the person, super nice and friendly, but facially he has a disproportionately large head and protruding eyes), while this really good looking man got their attention while waving at them, asking their names, and they weren't scared at all. Your looks and physique and skin tone, will shape how you see the world. The world's reaction to you is who you are, at least in your developing years. Yes individually someone may like you as a person, but in a general sense, your likeability is completely dependent on how you look. Life's game is rigged indeed.

In India everyone stares at everyone. It gets confusing why people are staring at you. Do they find you attractive or staring at you out of disgust or they stare because what they do or find you suspicious.

Thanks Qoves for helping us understand the great mystery as to why attractive people get attention in public. Because I was definitely confused about this before.

So people have negative sentiments about unattractive people? Now it all makes sense why my coworkers threw me down a flight of stairs last year.

Body language and fashion plays a lot into that: I made an experiment in a club:I was well groomed and dressed in a fitted semi-formal outfit with a nice watch and necklace, with my shoulders slightly back, open body language and moving slowly, as if I was the owner checking everything. I got a lot of stares, girls surrounding me and guys greeting me, starting conversations, etc.
Now if I had just worn random baggy clothes, ugly shoes and standing in the corner with my beer, slouched and hand in my pocket, I would´ve been invisible, even as an attractive guy. There is much more in your control than you think.

That woman and any of the people doing these "people staring at me" videos... they are staring because you have a camera following you and you are dressed up walking around dramatically. I'm sure people would also look at them for their beauty too, but willing to bet the main reason is out of curiosity. Anytime I'm taking pictures or videos in public people always look. People also stare when you're dressed weird, acting strange, or unconventionally attractive.

As a woman I stopped wearing cute clothes because people stare, then I realised men stare no matter what you wear. I’ve noticed women be rude or pass snarky remarks esp if I dressed cute.
I understand the male gaze, I just don’t understand women being mean to other women, my girl gang and I appreciate beautiful men and women for eg. would remark how cute a girl is.
Women appreciating women is the truest compliment you can receive because men would f a pole. Women need to realise another women’s shine doesn’t dull yours. Being rude and mean makes your personality ugly and unattractive.

I've never been able to decide if I'm attractive or unattractive and it has caused me a lot of internal turmoil, but I treat everyone with respect and politeness and I can promise you that matters a lot more than being conventionally attractive. A cheap product can look real nice until you try to use it

Clothes definitely matter, when I wear a top or a cute dress people definitely stare more, when I dress plainly I blend in. So I guess the body thing you talked about

[delined]

"Why do people stare at you?"
1. You are physically attractive.

There you go, save some of your time watching this video.

[Totalinternalreflection]

Because I'm so profoundly ugly i warp the very fabric of reality around me, it's very hard for people not to stare when children and pets that look up at me are atomising as their innocence is confronted with the lovecraftian horror that is my visage.

As a tall woman (175cm) I often felt like people were staring at me for no reason other than me being taller than them. Especially older people lol. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I hate it. I envy people who can blend into a crowd more easily when they want to. I dont always want to be a focal point.

The most I ever got harassed on a single walk, I was walking to the doctors while sick. I was completely covered by loose, plain, dirty clothes with unbrushed hair, looking objectively unattractive.

I walked the same path I’d pass every day, usually looking good, hair done, nice outfit and unbothered by strangers.

Yet this time, I was hit on verbally 3 times on top of stares. It still confused me a bit, but my mom told me it’s because these people are looking for vulnerability

[chipskylark]

Then there’s some people who are very socially awkward. They think any form of eye contact is “staring” no matter how brief it is.

[crystalnelson]

As someone with paranoia issues, getting more attractive made me feel investigated lmao!

[MrAnonik]

It's not always the good looks that catches attention. It may be fancy clothes, hair, or other specific things that may interest us.

[royalzak]

Simply she's tall, striking and elegant. Also it takes confidence in your appearance to pull of her fashion sense which in her case being attractive and tall helps. Most people dress like npcs to avoid standing out due low self esteem
