Getting too familiar, too soon. This includes touching, hugging, nosy personal questions. At best the guy looks needy, clingy and lacking in social skills. At worst the guy looks like an insensitive creep when he does these things.

saying hello is not creepy. and there were plenty of women who said that they didn't think shaved legs were gay... so you are a glass half empty guy, clearly.

if a strange man walked up to me and said "nice dress shoes purse" I'd think it was oddly specific. if a man walked up to me and smilied, said hello, i think it was polite. if a creepy man did either, I think is was creepy.

you know, I'm a little disappointed at this last post, activeteacher. it sounds really bitter, and that instead of starting this topic to understand a little or learn something, you did it to try to show that you can't win no matter what, or to try to validate something you already decided.

Been a really bad weekend. Not something that I want to get into here (PM me if you want to know more).

My goal IS to learn from this thread. Which is why I started to compile the list. Then I realized how incredibly 'strange to me' some of the things were.

Scarlett, I AM trying to see the positive things in life. Seeing the negative is very easy for me. I've been working on seeing the positive, and AM getting better. Yesterday's class REALLY soured my mood. Took today's hard, punishing ride to get that sourness out of my system. Even the 20mph headwind, and having to be the front man for most of the ride (at 20mph), was enjoyable. Only one negative, and I'll probably shave my mustache/goatee to eliminate it! (You'll have to ask. Too far off-topic for this).

Perhaps I'll try giving the complements again. If someone can't handle an innocent complement, s***w them!

This would be sooooo much easier if I could get direct feedback from women. The obvious stuff is clear -- most of which "I'd" willingly remove the guy. But the posters who mentioned a guy saying "hello" really confused me.

What about the blank facial expression? That part really hit home. Many people have told me that my mood can be read on my face. But when lost in thought, the face goes blank.

Now a quote from today's ride "A good thing about this wind is the snot flies pretty far!"

Have a good evening.

I didn't know that compliments out of the blue irritated women. I like them, myself!

Rather than a compliment on my attire, though.....if you saw me do something nice for somebody.....say I hold a door open for a little old lady, or give up my seat on the bus, or stoop to pick something up that somebody dropped.....if you were to compliment me on that.....I think it would mean more than a compliment on my attire.

A compliment on Good Character is always welcome.

I don't know what they mean by blank expressions; I guess I've never encountered one of those. I do think all compliments.....and all interactions in general.....should be accompanied by a friendly smiling face, if possible.....to be most effective.
