Since this will be the first topic discussed in my first ever blog it's only fitting that I begin with something that's baffling to me.

A few days ago I accompanied a female friend of mine to the mall. Big mistake, because I don't really like shopping, I'm a traditional guy. If I need shirt, enter store, find shirt, shirt fit, buy shirt, leave store...That's it. Not women though, they embark on a shopping pilgrimage dragging their helpless male companion up and down aisles of clothing. Asking for our opinions which they rarely take into consideration anyway. I was outside of a store taking a well deserved breather, when out of nowhere this extremely fine and edible looking young lady walked into the book store across from me.

Now I was blatantly checking her out hoping I'd catch her eye, but she never looked up at me. She left the book store walked past me, didn't acknowledge me at all. So I dismissed her from my mind. About four minutes later she again walks into my view right past me, not looking at me once. I'm not a small guy and at 6'5 I'm anything but invisible, but I did not receive a glance from her. After my friend finished shopping we head to another store she wanted to go too. On the way there, I see that we are approaching Miss Edible again. This time how ever it is different, she is looking right into my eyes as we approach her. She is staring not letting her eyes leave mine at all. My friend even noticed it and commented on it asking me if I knew her. When we passed her my friend turned around and said the girl had turned back still looking at me.

This isn't the first time this has happened to me. I can't figure out for the life of me why I get more attention and looks from women when I'm out with female than I get when I'm just solo. I'm the exact same guy she passed a dozen times before without acknowledging my existence. Why when she saw me walking with a woman did she stare at me like I was the doorman at the pearly gates? I know I can't be the only guy that has experienced this. So ladies speak up let me know why you do this. Guys let me know what you think too. Give me theories, I want to know.
