Why would random women give me nasty glares?
Sometimes when I'm out in public, I notice that some women will give me nasty glares and scowl at me. I don't really know anybody in my city, I mind my own business and don't cause any trouble. It hurts that I get treated like this by people who don't even know me.
Also, should I say anything to them next time this happens? I just find it rude and offensive.
No it's not in my head. Family has also been noticing that this happens to me.

My guess would be because your waist measurement is smaller than their thigh measurement.

I do it all the time; check out other women. I'm admiring their fashion, sometimes I'll ask "where did you get that skirt?", other times I'm wishing I had that girl's thighs. Sometimes, I'll get caught and I get a nasty glare. Perhaps my inquisitive look appears to them as a nasty glare. If I feel the woman is really troubled by me checking her out, I will say "I wish I had your legs." They get it and smile, I smile back.
It's not just younger women. I saw a woman in her 60's the other day, who looked fabulous. She was wearing yellow jeans, heels, a yellow-flower blouse, and she was in great shape. She caught me, and I smiled and said "love your outfit", she smiled back.
Perhaps that's what's happening to you. And maybe it is a woman with a big butt scowling at you, thinking to herself "I used to have a butt like that, until . . . " Maybe the scowl isn't about you, it's about them.
When they stop staring is when you start worrying.

It all depends, if you start something then drama might take place..would you want
that exactly?
Something you can say is..what are you looking at?
Or is there something in my face..that you can't stop staring?
( That's something I would say)
People could be intimidated by your looks..if you attracted looking
or perhaps..you show an angry look in your face..which makes them give out a nasty glare
It all depends on your appearance really..something else you
can do is when someone gives you a nasty glare smile at them..it would
make you feel better and they would probably turn their face away
with an even nastier glare..lolz but it doesn't matter because it's not like your
going to see those people again.
So don't worry about it =)

Perhaps it's bright and sunny where you live and their eyes hurt. Tell them to get some sunglasses.
EDIT: On a more serious note. I have really bad social anxiety when I am out in public and I glare at everyone. It's not because I am trying to personally attack anyone. It's just a defense mechanism. I can come off as really unfriendly when deep down I have quite a good heart. I can come off as extremely cold when acquaintances try and talk to me, as well.

I doubt what you think is happening is happening.
Unless you're wearing a sign that says "Women suck" or something.
Most of the time, the rest of us out here don't even give a shyte about other, random strangers.
Are people ever REALLY jealous of strangers? Nah, it's not that.
Most of the tmie, I seriously don't even SEE other people, really. I IGNORE other people. And YOU should, too.

They're probably jealous. I can't see why else they'd make you their business...
I get glared at by random women in the street, I'm not doing anything wrong so I just pin it as jealousy, I don't give a crap.

some people are rude and offensive. there are a myriad of reasons why this happens. but life is short so its best not to waste precious time and energy questioning strangers' motives.

Just ignore them they jealous from you, and I think they are up normal women.

Crabby women glare at everyone. Don't assume it's jealousy - it rarely is. They are usually just unhappy.
Edit: Sorry to displease but I saw where this question was headed.
- Anonymous10 years ago
You stare back honey and see what happens. Don't let them hurt your feelings. Stare back they wont like it and they will stop staring.

Jealousy does this to people makes them hate on others for no apparent reason. You really shouldn't take offense to these looks it's a problem that they have not you. Ignore them and don't even say anything that would just give them more fuel to hate on you. They'll say stuff like 'Can you believe she had the nerve to talk to me like that', etc. Just play it cool and be laid back it makes it easier to enjoy life.
