Why do women overreact like this?!


Question: Another persons question made me recall something once when I was driving. I was sort of even with a pretty lady on the highway so I glanced a few times at her hoping to catch her attention so I could smile at her. I made no other movements or any gestures, just glanced from time to time. As I was turning off the highway, I glanced one more time and she shot me the bird. What the heck was that about? I did not stare at her, could not as I was driving. I made no gestures of any sort. All I did was glance briefly several times. Why did that deserve the obscene gesture?

Some women can't take a compliment. Now, if you were driving and decided to follow her, that's another story, but glancing at her, it's no big deal. Some women, not all, tend to over react, and say retarded stuff like " OMG,... this guy on the road was staring at me, and he obviously wanted me to look back, but doesn't he know that I'm married?...." No &*%$ they dont!!! They need to be able to take this and be flattered that she still 'Has It", it's human nature for men to try to get a womans attention.

what a beotch!!! some women are just like that!

i think that you are over reacting

You could check me out whenever, I love it and never overreact to it, unless you look like a troll.

you were probably swerving from staring.

Oh honey, if you had had the face of George Clooney, you were not here posting this question ! LMAO!! Luv ya !!!

Maybe she thought you were someone else.

you are right if i wear a low cut shirt i expect looks i hate women who dress provocatively then act like bitches

Maybe you looked like somebody who was stalking her.

maybe she was having a bad day, or she was just "i can kill every guy" mood lol

Shot you the bird?


She probley thought you was a freak.

Next time make it less obvious.

I can only assume she was PMSing. I certainly wouldn't make a rude gesture to a kind look my way.

Some women do not appreciate Men starring or even looking more than once if we want your attention you will know if we don't your going to get the finger

Because she felt like you were staring at her. Driving down the road is no where to try to catch a women's attention.

whats shot me the bird please tell me?

It may have been her having a bad day thats all. don't take it personal.

Maybe men do that to her all the time and it creeps her out? Or she could just be a bitc* and in that case you don't want her anyway.

She probably felt you were harassing her. People really hate being stared at and even though you felt like you weren't staring, it probably felt that way to her because you kept looking back all the time. Maybe she felt you were laughing at her or making fun of her because you were smiling at her.
She probably felt very insecure.

Sadly, you don't know what has happened to her before you drove alongside of her. She may have been stalked before. She may have been flipped off by someone else. She may be "hormonal". Who knows. Most of the good people in this world pay a price for the jerks of the world. You meant no harm, but someone before you took all the innocent fun out of the day for her and then for you. Too bad I wasn't going by in 1971, I'd have smiled and waved back at you. But, that was a long time ago and now I would not wave or flip you off.

Sorry life rained on your parade. Better luck next time!!!

edit: Tess, shot the bird is a picture way of telling someone to f - off.

Idk what 'she shot me the bird' means but
your post implies it's something offensive


It could be she was having anything from
a bad day to she didn't understand what
you were doing.

Why worry.

If she was a pretty lady then she probably had experienced men in other cars & vans looking at her, tooting etc many times before.
I can understand why she'd do that...she probably thought you were as good as staring as you kept looking back at her. It's on a par with sitting on a train with some guy staring at you (or ur boobs) for the journey. Sorry, but it is.

SHE WAS HAVING A BAD DAY OR SHE TOUGH YOU WERE A PSYCHO. SORRY FOR YOU

It may have been WHERE you were when you did it ... you were on the highway, each in your own car. Most people think that their car is like their house, and that people should NEVER 'look' at them through the windows. By 'glancing' you may have seemed like a 'peeping tom' ... and while all you wanted to do was flash her a smile (which I take it would have been a polite smile, not a 'leer'), she may have been 'afraid' of you ... and that 'bird' she flipped at you is the way many people 'get aggressive' when they are afraid. I'm sorry you were hurt ... but I hope I've explained WHY it could have happened. I take the bus, and see similar things ... each person has his/her own 'space' and get very aggressive if anything happens to 'break' that space ... while other times, the bus is like a classroom after class is over and everyone talks and smiles and has some fun ... which is also really weird when you think about it.

She probably realize you liked her, but she didn't like you. Most young girls overreact like that when they don't like the guy. Just you wait and see if a guy she likes did exactly the same thing you did, the reaction would be different.

Well it seems that now-a-days everyone wants a pair of crutches to get by in life with,and woman seem to prefer the sexual harassment crutch to get by in life with and every guy will suffer for it in the end.

it's so much easier just to give a wink ;) than the finger, don'cha think...xxx

I totally hear what your saying here as i too have gotten a lot of mixed signals' and then get cussed out or flipped off when we take a nay for a yay... some people men and women like to play lots of head games also'and that doesn't help matters' much either.,.,

With all the violence and carjacking going on, she may have been afraid that you were up to no good. Although, looking at your handsome face, she should have realized that your smiles were innocent.

Were you drooling!!!??

I dont know.. i have never shot one just cause a man looked.. I always smile and wave if i have the chance. I am a big flirt out there on the road when I am by myself.

was your junk out and was your arm making rapid succession movements and was the window foggy? If not then she was on the rag!
