What to do with 'mean-muggers'?

[starkiller2010]

So did you guys/girls ever encounter people giving you dirty looks at bars/clubs/events? Especially strangers? Never understood why people feel the need to give looks like that unless they want to start something (for no reason?!?) Do you guys just walk away or confront them?

[kilarney]

Take the high road. Walk away.

I am guilty of this.

Can you provide insights into why you do this to strangers?

I have never done this to anyone so I would like to understand
the psychological motivation behind it

Does it empower you / ego boost in some way?

They have unresolved issues and acting tough makes them feel better.

I just assume they have something else going on in their lives and leave it at that.

The only thing I can think of is they are drunk and are thinking about something; not necessarily looking at me. I have had a few times a guy bumps me (in clubs) as they walk by; not sure if they want to assert their dominance (probably) or an accident. No idea why people want to start stuff in these places when all we want to do is have a few drinks and enjoy the music/company. One reason I try to stay away from clubs.

Maybe she hates jocks?

[tighty whities]

It's a woman thing. If I see somewhere wearing that awful outfit, yeah I would give them a bad look.I tend to do this with people I have spoken to or somehow interacted with in the past and just don't like them... I don't hate jocks I am the type that's friends with everyone.lol

That went right over your head :)

If in a bar, I walk away. Confront them on your own grounds where you are comfortable.

agree +1000. Lure them into an internet cafe where we can troll them with memes to make them realize how stupid they are.

So you think that you are better than others
that your sense of style is superior to others

If one of the guiding principles in life is to to onto others as
you wish they would do unto you -
- does that not mean that you should not be judging
let you be judged as well

The way I look at life - I realize that all of us are "making it up" as we go along
we are all confused and pretending we know what we are doing

If i know this, then why would I be critical of others?

The people I stand up against are those that try to be superior to others
as if they know better than anyone else what is "right"

I say "quit lookin at me with them googly eyes, dude... I know I'm sexy but I don't swing that way, sorry to disappoint you"

When I'm at a club or bar, my focus is 100% on the opposite sex. The guys there are equivalent to the walls and support columns that I maneuver around to get to the ladies. If you are spending so much time looking at other guys and they are giving you dirty looks, then maybe you should try a different bar/club where the same sex won't give you dirty looks when you stare them down. If the opposite sex is giving you dirty looks, either you are doing something very right, or very wrong.

2 cents.

Some people have unhappy lives
= bad family
= money problems
= not doing well in school
= bad job
= no job

Misery loves company definition

People who are unhappy may get some consolation from knowing that others are unhappy too.

I can't remember a single dude in any of the clubs I've ever gone to, and Y would I? Were U on church street where the hommies were giving U cut eye?

[LostInTruth]

What's with all the male dominance in this thread?

Every club has douc**bag guys whether you see them or not, doesn't make you gay, as much as it doesn't make those losers look any less intimidating.
