Yes it is. For some reason this has been happening to me a lot I mean I know it's a common thing but it's been crazy the last few months. I was thinking at least its an ice breaker. But some of them can't not know where they have seen me. I'm not a very intimidating figure maybe I just look approachable I dont know.

Insufficient information. What was the context or location? Was she rubbing her nipples furiously, etc.?

ROFL That's funny, but all too typical of the male gender.

No it's not being hit on.
Women don't think like men.

Men are more goal orientated. Just because there's usually a motive when aguy asks such things, it does NOT follow that's the case with a woman. Not sayin' it's absolute, but generally I'd say no.

It amazes me how a little joking around or asking some friendly questions out of general interest leads men to think there's an angle to it when a female orginates it. She may have just felt you looked familiar, was curious and asked. Or maybe she's just being friendly.

Yes it's that simple guys! Geesh!

That could be ........ which reminds me of 2 weeks ago. My wife, my daughters and SIL was having a yard sale. On Sat. I get up early, go outside, uncover all the BS for them and sat down in the yard swing.

About an hour later, up walks this fairly good looking woman, nice ass, etc. and asks me, where do I know you from ? Good Grief Charlie Brown, my wife's eyes were fixed on this conversation really quick. I replied, I don't know, I don't get out much, I work from home. My wife walks over and says,maybe the Family Inn, I worked there for 8 years, he use to come in alot there.

The woman replied, it could be, maybe I'll see you around sometime as she walked off . :eek: ( I don't know this woman at all ) My wife looked at me and said, stay away from that whore she is the easiest lay in town. I told her that she didn't have to worry. ( being how she is insecure now withher illness )

So out of the blue ........Shit happens .........

Women can more complicated in other areas. Just in this case they're not.

Also, when a female wants to complain and rant about a problem at work or with a friend just because she talks to her guy about it does not mean she wants you to solve it, or recommend solutions necessarily.

She just wants to talk and often doesn't want a solution. Here's another case of men being goal oriented resulting in his NOT understanding a woman. Let it go. Acknowledge here like you really heard her and understood her "feelings" on the matter. The let it go. Geesh!

Is that what that weird stare that lasts a little too long is all about?

This is really confusing, cause I'll get that from these married chicks twice my age, when the girls I've actually dated NEVER do that!

And I am of the opinion that women do not initiate conversation with guys they find intimidating, so its probably that you look friendly and/or attractive. I don't care what the women say on this, no one knows their own system 100%.

Aside from being quite paranoid about the world I can read people pretty dang well. Most of the time I just get a feeling that a woman likes me. It doesn't have anything to do with the eyes, its just there. Then again, my insecurity and paranoia keep me in line, so I don't think too many women do.

It all depends on the woman I guess. Married women seem to be a little more bold in their approach and shy women tend to just give off a feeling of some kind.... but generally, yes, when you catch a girl looking at you for slightly longer than a glance, it generally means they find you attractive or are trying to get your attention.

The reason behind this is because you consequently find attractive men intimidating. My reasoning still stands. You can argue all you want, but women won't talk to a guy unless they find them not intimidating.

The BEST thing you could ever do for your woman when she is upset and crying - whether it is at you or anyone else - is put your arms around her. I swear, in the middle of a fight, if you are ready to just get back to whatever you were doing and she is upset and crying, all you have to do is put your arms around her. (again, every woman is different though, but this tends to work with me and my friends and family)

There are plenty of attractive men that I am not interested in. It's when there is that chemical reaction with a certain someone. That just does not happen with every attractive man.

Maybe this is where everyone gets that I'm a flirt...

I'm not buying all this still. Its nothing you can analyze cause women are too different. Some women will act nervous, some will talk up a storm. Some will flat out stare at you, and others will be nice without looking you in the eyes at all. There are too many differences in women to analyze one comment, especially without any bodily reactions to compliment it.

And I, as a guy ask chicks this all the time. It doesn't mean I want to date them, it means I have a crappy memory (though I a lot of times will intentionally say, "I'm not trying to hit on you or anything.")

You're missing my point.

its impossible for a guy to be attractive and not be interested in them. The definition of attraction is that you are drawn to a person. A person can be hot without being attractive, but they have to be someone you are interested in. Attractiveness is multi-faceted.

And if you are worried about rejection the whole situation is intimidating, consequently the person you are talking to is (they are the cause of it indirectly). If you weren't worried about rejection or anything else, would you still be intimidated by talking to the person? If not, my idea still holds water.

No different with men or anyone else either. I just think the word "intimidating" is too strong. It's not like I can't eventually break it...or don't have my ways. *wink*

I lived in coed apartment once...and to listen to the two male roomates and their gf troubles seems to me that they fret just as much, if not more over the simple act of calling someone up they like and asking her out because of rejection.

In fact there is a book called "What Men Want" that I read about a year or so ago...written by 3 professional men and it claimed the same thing.

Not really. I just saw a show last night (Lucky Louie) where this was the central theme of it.

My point was more that a lot of times the guy is the source of the crying (especially with those women who like to nag), and this would be a BAD time to be trying to hug on her.

In these instances I just get over it real fast. I'll make it up by cooking dinner or something. If that's not enough then forget it.

Its about importance. They do it during important times cause they want to know they are more important. A lot of times, if you give them 5 minutes of undivided attention, you can avoid having to give them 15 minutes of undivided attention.

Either that, or they're rude and insecure. I had a girl who would intentionally ask me to do stuff during a football game or something, just because she hated the fact that I liked them.

Im being somewhat facetious in my comments, but in my experience I would say your latter option is more common because of the 'importance' thing.

No seriously, it's just that when it comes to mating rituals, the human species is no different than the animal kingdom, imo. Of course, in my head, I am only thinking of like a bar type scenario or lately, at f-ing sports games, which totally pisses me off because wtf, can't we just forget our gender differences for awhile and enjoy an f-ing game together??!!!

As for your situation, I could think of any number of funny hurtful things to say, but I won't. They probably just aren't interested anymore because you're just like they guy who's always there - the friend guy. And after a few months the "friend" guy, at least to single girls, is taken for granted and nodded at. However, those married women? They love "friend" guy.

Yes.

However- true story here: Growing up in Overland Park, I was quite the golfer and played some local tourneys as well as playing for the high school's team. I would get mistaken often as someone else from Blue Valley.

During my tenure in high school, I'd often go to parties. Peeps I've never met before would approach me and think I was "Greg" I kept insisting my name was "Ken" and after awhile, it got old. I heard he was a golfer as well and during one tournament- I walked up to the board to see who my threesome would be for the day, and lo and behold- one of them was "Greg"

I remember walking up to the tee and it was literally like looking in the mirror. The two of us were identical.

So, when gals would approach me then and say, "I know you." I didn't think it was a "pick-up line"

Of course, in my head, I am only thinking of like a bar type scenario or lately, at f-ing sports games, which totally pisses me off because wtf, can't we just forget our gender differences for awhile and enjoy an f-ing game together??!!!

As for your situation, I could think of any number of funny hurtful things to say, but I won't. They probably just aren't interested anymore because you're just like they guy who's always there - the friend guy. And after a few months the "friend" guy, at least to single girls, is taken for granted and nodded at. However, those married women? They love "friend" guy.

LET ME QUALIFY ALL THIS BY SAYING: I obviously am no expert and this is just opinion.
This pretty much sums up my attempts at relationships...lol. Only I'm a chick instead of a guy.

As much as I'm enjoying the nipple discussion, I must address the initial topic.

As a guy, if I ask a woman if "I know her from somewhere", I am definitely hitting on her. And I expect the same from my female counterparts.

If she's nasty or I have zero interest, I could care less if I know her from somewhere.

It's a great pick-up line because it is not blatantly obvious, and you get to learn something about them.

I prefer to ask if they went to my high school. That way I can learn their approximate age and where they grew up, as well as get a sense of if they are interested.

saying they "look familiar, did you go to such-and-such high school?" is an ice breaker that lets them offer some info.

Yeah, and its mostly just me too. Since I can't smell, all food tastes like 4 different things. Sweet, salty, bitter, or sour. Other than that, and I can't really tell. I can taste some other things, but I get them confused a lot (like I'll think ice cream tastes like whipped cream, or that a strawberry tastes like a cherry).

As far as the memory point cool. But I think if you're really into someone, at least during the infatuation phase of a relationship, at least I hang on their every word.

As far as baiting men to use them....I hate users. Any kind. I never did things like that. I'm actually very independent. My sister used to have guys who liked her mover her apartment; then a week later she'd break up with them. I couldn't do something like that. I only accept if it's a two way reciprocal flow.

The worst I ever did was when my car broke down on the highway...of course before I got married. I didn't know what to do to fix it. So I sat on the hood until a bunch of guys picked me up. They just drove me to a gas station.

Is that what that weird stare that lasts a little too long is all about?

This is really confusing, cause I'll get that from these married chicks twice my age, when the girls I've actually dated NEVER do that!

And I am of the opinion that women do not initiate conversation with guys they find intimidating, so its probably that you look friendly and/or attractive. I don't care what the women say on this, no one knows their own system 100%.

Aside from being quite paranoid about the world I can read people pretty dang well. Most of the time I just get a feeling that a woman likes me. It doesn't have anything to do with the eyes, its just there. Then again, my insecurity and paranoia keep me in line, so I don't think too many women do.

Moooo

I hope you're referring to this post. BUT.... I'm not sure what you mean by intimidating...because attractive can be intimidating at times. And I'm a hard judge at this because I'm pretty outgoing and I don't get intimidated easily. But as for my friends...if they think a guy is attractive and they give him the stare and he still doesn't find the balls to approach her, they will straight go to him. The best pick up line one of my friends has used is... "Hey, brown jacket guy!..." And he bought us all drinks the rest of the night.

No....No.....I have no interest in "milk" from a guy who thinks he's a cow.

As for women remembering every detail, not true. I happen to live with one that STILL doesn't grasp the concept of 'turn off the light when you leave the room', or 'shut the closet door so I don't mutilate my big toe', or 'this is how you cut/paste/drag/drop'.

Female memory is detailed but selective.

Wow. That is so true. Jim remembers things that I KNOW I should remember, but I don't. However, ask me anytime I've been pissed at him about something, and I can paint you a complete picture.

and obviously knows exactly where she knows you from or in fact doesn't know you at all. Would you take that as being hit on.

I used to go to school with this guy named Frank. I always considered him hot, sexy, and doable, but he and I remained "friends". After a while we actually got to be pretty close (just as friends). Anywho, a couple of years ago, I see this guy's brother out and I recognize him. I went up to him since I hadn't heard from Frank in several years. This is how the convesation went:

Me: "Hi, are you Frank's brother?"
Brother Dude: "Yeah...?"
Me: "I thought so, he and I went to school together, my name is Jenny"
Brother Dude: "Oh, yeah, I remember you."
Me: "How the hell is Frank doing? I haven't seen him in forever?"
Brother Dude: ".....Look, my brother is married, and he's trying to make the marriage work. It's been hard for him."
Me: [one eyebrow down in a confused state] "Uh....ok. Well, tell him I said hi."

So, my point is that sometimes, with certain guys, it seems like ANY interaction equals a come on to them. I hate to break it to you guys that don't know about this little known fact, but we don't hit on you as often as your ego tells you we do.

That may be true for these other guys but not for men with my obvious charm, astounding intelligence and rugged good looks.

But thank you for trying to do your part to keep my ego in check. With my innate humbleness it's not a hard task.
