    I don't think I'm paranoid...just because I have to sit with my back to a wall and seeing all entry/exit points in a public location, in case someone comes in to rob the place...or scan my environment with a sweep, looking for potential threats...
    Or even think about what I would do if that person over there pulls a gun or knife on me...
    I'm just really tuned-in to my environment, is all...
    When I have panic attacks I add to the above-look around for improvised weapons in the immediate environment, if I can, get to the car.
    I feel very safe in the car; I can run threats over.

    I grew up in the land of the worst-case scenario?:shrug:I tend to react rather strongly to threats.

    Why do women make eye contact?

    I think the same reason everyone else does...

    For anyone desperate enough to see that as a sign of attraction...all I gotta say is I won't be there to say "I told you so" when you get your ass wiped...

    I guess now nobody will blame you at least.

    Hmm, so am I unique in making eye contact with people I find attractive? I was always lead to believe it's fairly standard, or does only the lingering or repeated kind count, or am I just expected to be staring at other parts? :shrug:

    Do you only make eye contact with people you find sexually attractive?

    I mean...this is obviously a cultural thing, in most of Asia it's really rude to make eye contact, whereas in the USA, they force you to, failure to do so is seen as a sign of dishonesty.

    He's 15, they probably just walk up and grab a crotch or pull the thong hanging out, to show attraction. Or the run home on msn and whisper "I like you..."

    Not exclusively, but it's by far more common, and if it's repeated or lingering then there's definitely something I find eye catching.
    The question would be what reasons are there for eye contact, one of such reasons obviously being attraction, so it would hardly be unfounded for someone to come to that conclusion, at least on *some* occasions. :shrug:
    Ah that takes me back a few years. Does the "like" function on facebook serve as an adequate replacement? I'm out of touch with these things.
