Metricula and I were discussing this at lunch.
We think it's because if you look men in the eye, they'll believe you're interested in them and try to hit on you. So women look down to avoid lots of unwanted attention.
What do you think? Do you notice more women looking down when they walk then men? 11/4/2008 1:53:56 PM |

avoiding eye contact by either sex is a sign of shyness 11/4/2008 1:54:54 PM |

i only notice people who look shy/inferior looking down. male or female. i never understood that. just look past people if you don't want to make eye contact.

I expected the punchline to a joke in this thread ...
I don't really notice women looking down more, but I do notice them having a more reserved stance, with arms crossed and the like, which I guess gives the same effect. 11/4/2008 1:57:32 PM |

avoiding eye contact is also a sign of not wanting to be approached. 11/4/2008 1:57:40 PM |

honestly, I think that people who look down to walk are shy, and unsure of themselves 11/4/2008 1:58:15 PM |

i mean like.. if i'm walking down a sidewalk and some random person is walking by that i don't know theres no reason for me to attempt to make eye contact with them.

personally I think higher of the ones that actually make eye contact, you can tell a lot about someone just from their eyes 11/4/2008 1:58:41 PM |

I thought they told girls at orientation not to look down when they walk and not to cross their arms to avoid being raped. 11/4/2008 2:02:12 PM |

Girls just feel like because they are girls they should have the advantage when it comes to wanting or giving attention. Just act like she looks like a piece of dog shit and this is sure to get you laid. 11/4/2008 2:04:13 PM |

I work in a sports bar. I don't like creepy men making eyes at me all the time. I normally look down when I pass a table full of men or I like by them without making eye-contact. I mostly look down because I want to avoid unwanted attention.
I only flirt and make eye-contact if you're in my section and I want a big tip. 11/4/2008 2:04:59 PM |

a lot of men seem to think that making eye contact or not pointedly looking away means you're interested. i have this problem a lot because i don't look down. 11/4/2008 2:06:27 PM |

Here is a better question. Why do really fine girls walk around with a pissed off look on their face? Is it for the same reason Vix said? 11/4/2008 2:08:19 PM |
Slave Famous Become Wrath 34079 Posts user info edit post |
There are a higher ratio of hot girls with pissed off faces than ugly girls
You would think it would be the opposite
If I was a 10, I'd have a big ass smile on face whenever I was strolling for cock
If I was a 3, I'd probably have an eternal scowl 11/4/2008 2:10:07 PM |

I just don't understand why women, especially attraction ones that like to get all pretty and dresses sexy, don't expect men to give you attention. Your beauty only curses you because you don't realize this. In this society women and vag have been put on pedestal so why go around looking down at the ground for no reason? Its like a celeb trying to avoid getting her pic taken when she has become famous and put themselves under the microscope of the public eye. Girl logic FTL. 11/4/2008 2:11:48 PM |

I have a semi-long neck, so around this time of year I get a little chilly unless I'm looking kinda down.
not a woman, but that's my input.
