I remember being young and thinking middle-aged people are staring at me because they want me /they disapprove/whatever.

Now I'm middle aged myself, I know the staring is way more likely to either be something along the lines of "ah that kid is so 90s, I never had that green colour but blue Fudge used to wash out to green like that..."

Or "have we run out of natural yoghurt, we bought that 500ml pottle last week but we had curry twice, maybe I should get some more..."

Jokes on you then. I'm probably staring because I'm trying to figure out what's going on with that eye makeup, and I have no idea what that face is supposed to mean.

Middle aged men today? They’re millennials and that’s called a 1000 yard stare.

You’ll understand soon.

All I see is crazy eyes which means she'll most likely let me do the weird stuff

Plot twist: they are into that and see that as a yes

(that as in what they are doing to repeal the middle aged man)

Yeah, if I'm staring at you, it means a) I'm thinking about what I'm cooking at home, or balancing HOR production with HOR-to-fuel conversion in Satisfactory and b) my eyes are so bad (I haven't had prescription glasses for years now) that you're a blur of colors.

That said, I wonder if she likes board games.

There is a difference between a guy staring into the void, and an older guy checking you out. I've experienced both and I don't understand how people manage to confuse the two.

I’ve got to admit, a girl makes that face at me, I’m going to walk up and start explaining the plot of Krull (1983) for as long as she can hold it. If she makes it through the whole thing I’m pretty sure we’re legally married.

Half the time I have no idea what I am staring at. It's like having closed eyes, but they're open. It's my autopilot staring, not me.

On a side note, that lip piercing (just like any other piercing in mouth) may cause tooth damage and/or gum recession over time. It's a bad idea.

~~Maybe don't look so cool like the girl I want to be if you don't want to be stared at.~~

Cool hair...sorry

you remind me of my acid dropping goth friend from the 80's. the "crazy" stare really sells it. wanna take drugs in the park and laugh at people in pleated jeans?

Is that flirting? My Social skill is still around 12/100, but I heard that face is what people call flirting

I am middle age! I get stares from college kids haha, I look younger than I am. I don’t care who looks, and I am too autistic to stare at others 🤷‍♀️

The narcissism on so many levels is such an adorable aspect of this generation

The responses to this post have been disgusting

I think this image is peak "do I want to be her or be with her?"

NGL, kinda hot.

Starring at you? Like you're a supporting character in a movie or like Mario?

This would make me stare more. Maybe even say something, like, “are you ok?”

When I was 18, this girl would have been my idea of absolute perfection.

Look at your getup, do you want attention or not?
