    Default Is anyone else this way too?

    Even though I'm home alone alot I still think people are so interesting. They love, hate, fight, makeup, laugh at silly things, do funny tricks and so on. Really, I could sit for hours in busy area and just watch the people interact. Sometimes I can make out what they're saying or what their body language says. There is so much going on everyday and its just so interesting to see. I swear if my life plan tells me not to be a chemist I'll be a sociologist instead.

    I think it's very interesting to watch body language, which can be more honest than verbal language. (This from a guy who gets paid to write and talk...)

    For instance, we're all seen that couple at dinner: They're talking maybe, but it's perfectly obvious they aren't into each other, based on how they relate physically.

    I do a lot of people watching. I usually try and sit strategically in a restaurant so i can see the most people both inside and out. I hate when i have to face the wall.

    I love people-watching! It's my favorite part of living in Hollywood because there are so many different kinds of people here and so many of them are nuts. In the evenings K and I like to just go out and walk around Hollywood for a few hours and watch the people.

    i love watching people interact with each other. i always try to be all sneaky so they can't see me watching them though. Especially since i hope no one is watching me.

    I love it. It's one of the bonuses of living in a big city. I need to get some shades though. I'm always getting caught.

    Sometimes I do this too. I was at an event recently w/ my sister, who kept screwing around on her phone. I said "Can't you just stand still & watch for a while?"

    My back has to be facing a wall or in a booth otherwise I'm not comfortable, I hate sitting out in the open.

    You would really like Big Brother, too bad this is the last week. You would probably like to play the Sims too

    Yes!!! I love doing this and it drives me absolutely crazy because the apartment closest to mine outside my balcony, the prime eavesdropping apartment - got released to a few indian guys - - - well thats all good and fine but they dont speak english and they always have parties and I WANNA KNOW what they're saying and can't understand. But I'm learning alot about body language by trying to figure out what's going on.

    Heh. There are some times I wish I was a lazy stripper because then I could just sit and watch strip club interactions. To me, those are the most interesting interactions in the world.

    Too bad I'm too busy being a part of the madness to just sit back and watch.

    Although sometimes when it's early and slow I am able to indulge my spy-eriffic tendencies. Such fun.

    I like people watching.. It's like my own private soap opera..

    I loe people watching. I love the stories my boyfrien tells me about peopl ehe sees when he's standing at a dead table at work.( he's a dealer at Rio, and works graveyard. Sometimes, he just has to stand at the blackjack table with nothing to do but people watch)

    He told me at a pimp and ho ball a while back, a girl walked through wearing a belt and bra. No panties on.

    He sees girls with miniskirts and no panties bend over.

    prostitutes jacking off their guys under the table, thinking noone knows.

    Sugar daddies dishing out cash to their sugarbabies.
    Even a gay sugardaddy who gives his boy toys thousands of dollars every night to gamble...but in reality, the boytoy is going to the cage cashing in thoes chips and pocketing the money.

    Vegas is definitely prime pickin's for people-watching. However, anywhere you have a crowd works. Okay, a crowd and access to booze. This summer, the Chicago Gay Parade was fascinating people-watching. Ditto the Renn faire last month.

    I really love to people watch, but I espscially love it in the club! I'll take a break now and then and sit somewhere quiet.. away from where all the dancers hang out if they aren't dancing, and just...watch.

    Not really paying attention to the dancer, that's fairly predictable, but the guys. Some funny stuff happens!

    My second favorite place to people watch is at the grocery store....

    Then airports and bus terminals, lastly resteraunts.

    My eye is always drawn to the guy, sitting alone, watching intently and FROWNING. What's with that? A dumb, happy, boozy smile (my typical mode) is better for everyone, yes?

    Kind of an interesting sport isn't it.

    I generally only go into strip venues to pick up dancers, and as I'm on friendly terms with a good few, I'll often end up standing at the back and people watching with them.

    Body language has been an interest of mine for 30 years, so it's generally fun to teach dancers the basics. Once or twice a year a dancer tends to think it's fun to put theory into practice and after learning a bit about female flirtation gestures, goes off to try them out.

    I've seen pretty dancers who weren't always getting the attention they deserved really enjoy finding out how to get the male of the species standing there with their tongues hanging out!

    I've always been amazed at the effect body language can have on custies in a very short space of time.

    I love people watching. Maybe that's why I took so many sociology classes in college.
