I know...I start the most RANDOM threads...this may be applicable to hustle hut, too.
Anyhow, does/has anyone ever used staring as a tactic to sell dances/get people's attention?
I first noticed it worked for my friend when we were out together. We'd be at some clubs, in the mall, wherever with a group of people...and I noticed that she got stared at alot and that guys would make comments. (I'm probably going to get flamed for the next statement, as mean as it sounds...but it's true IMO...) I didn't understand why out of all people with us they would check HER out (I have many pretty friends, and while she isn't ugly...she is a bit chunkier, has short hair (chin length and sometimes even shorter), and looks just "average." I knew it wasn't b/c she dresses slutty, either...b/c she dresses very tasteful. Then I noticed that she actually stares at guys (all guys - young, old, single, with gfs/wives) ALL OF THE TIME. I'm still not sure why she does this...but it seemed to work.
As a matter of fact, I tested it out for myself. Sure enough, I got many stares, double looks, and nice comments directed my way. If I were accompanied by males, guys would even compliment my male friends on "how pretty I was, how lucky they were to be w/me," etc. Also, if you're wondering, I also kept track of if that happened when I didn't stare (just in case I just noticed the comments/stares MORE when I acted differently), and there was def a difference.
From a psychological standpoint, I guess this makes sense. Staring shows interest, sometimes captures the attention of people who might think that you're attractive who otherwise wouldn't have looked at you, shows confidence, sometimes can be sexy, etc.
*edit: when I say "stare," I am not referring to a rude or nosey glare, nor am I referring to eye contact lasting just a second. It's hard to explain in words, but I guess I mean more like locking eyes with someone and looking..."interested," but not blatantly like you want to jump in their pants.
