Girls Have Eyes In The Back Of Their Heads!

[tone_loc]

One thing that really trips me out is girls' peripheral vision. I don't know how they do it. But they are able to scan a room, or a street, or any location, without every moving their heads. They always know where everyone and everything is, even though they don't seem to move their eyes or heads.

So I was kicking it with my homeboy last night, pretty busy bar (for a Wednesday anyway). As soon as I walk in, boom! two honeys look over their shoulder, check me out and smile. I mean, it went all right, got a couple phone numbers, kisses from one of them. I had to leave early, because of work next morning.

But still, I just don't get that. They know EXACTLY where you are and see you even if they have their backs to you! That's physically impossible. My only explanation is, these chicks are scoping the room and YOU when you are not paying attention for a split second...

Yeah, I don't know how they do it either. It trips me the f*ck out too. The trippiest is when you're checking her out while she has her back turned to you and she turns around and looks right at you, as if she knew you were checking her out. Very strange. Happens to me all the time. It's hard not to think they have super-human abilities, right?

It's all in their biology. Think about it. Men would go an hunt all day in cavemen times so we could bring food to our women and children. The women while the men hunted would be foraging for berries and looking after the children which required increased peripheral vision to scout out meals and threats to the children until the men returned with dinner.

Don't underestimate their friends. She may be facing away from you, but her friends facing her direction (and yours) will inform her of the direction of your eyes.

This is actually well documented and guys do it too. Next time you're on a bus or something stare at the back of someone's head. Sooner or later, they'll sense that something is a bit off and will turn around and look at you. It's weird, but true.

That's why you should always be at your best. Bi|ches are always looking. BUT in a college walking around campus, schoolgirls are totally lost in their own worlds and don't even see the curb they are about to trip over and lose their books.

becuase if you get it alot you sense it , i feel that sometimes im being check out
also becuase when you walk past "subtly" us guys always give it off as really obvious,

Men have more focussed vision, women have better peripheral vision. It's to do with the distribution of rods and cones in their eyes.

Maybe I'm just a wierdo, but I look at people's faces through reflections in glass, off windows, etc all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if these girls do the same thing.

Prey animals can always sense you staring at them. If you look too hard at a deer when hunting,they can seem to sense it and will look right at you. If you look occasionally, or indirectly;you'll get away with it.

 

[tone_loc]

That's a good point, but the point doesn't apply when you are standing behind them, and not off to their side.

It could also be their sensitive hearing, although I doubt this is universally true, as I have had it happen in VERY loud environments.

It's a mystery to me, man.

[Daydream Engineer]

what about the smell of your body or shadow ? i think they know because they notice the little things

 

[tone_loc]

I think they do have better situational awareness, generally speaking: such as better peripheral vision, and use other environmental cues with greater sensitivity.

This may be due to the fact that their safety is always in question, and so out of necessity, they monitor their environment more carefully.

Us guys just don't care, it seems and are often oblivious, unless we enter highly tense situations.
