Like if we look at each other something will happen, or people will "know" (like I give a flyin fuck if anyone knows!). but it is particularly noticable with butches I think...maybe that's because I am butch so that's the only real angle I have experienced it from. As I have gotten older I have made more of an effort to make the eye contact, and the normal little head nod that we all do. But it is a phenomena that I have always wondered about....anyone else got anything to say about the lack or avoidance of eye contact between us? What are we afraid of? Or what are we avoiding?

Yes, I have always found it weird when I come across a butch who avoids eye contact with me. When we do have eye contact, the head nod thing happens.

I have wondered if the butch type person that avoids my gaze is the kind of butch who avoids eye contact with EVERYONE (so as to not get that look of disgust we can get), and so when hy/she sees me out of the corner of hys eye hy just assumes me to be male. Subsequently, no "butch nod" occurs.

Don't know, but the above was a thought that came to me once...

When in public I acknowledge anyone who acknowledges me. It can be a head shake, or a hand shake. I always make eye contact with people. It is other people who have the issue with responding back to me. They have no idea of what I am (is that a boy or a girl attitude). I think we all go thru that pretty much. We just have to be who we are, and hold our heads high.

I'm only asking this question here because here is where I am and I am too lazy to find the appropriate venue to ask said question:

WHY can I not post a youtube video on Bob's usernotes thing?

What happens if you do make eye-contact? You develop a bit of a swish, pass out, and wake up in a strange store buying strawberry lip balm?

Cripes, no, it's worse.

After eye contact, it's the head nod, which can soon be followed by the knuckle bump. All down hill from there.

Next thing you know, you're (unironically) calling each other "bro".

Gross.

So, at what point during this cage match do you decide which one of you gets to pitch and who gets to catch? Cuz you and I both know that eye contact followed by wrasslin' is all about sexual tension.

Where -is- Bob, anyway? I tried to call Bob the other day but didn't get an answer because Bob was cooking and apparently elbow-deep in breadcrumbs. Whatever the hell -that- is a euphemism for.

That femmes are weird but I love them dearly.


(I am sure they think the same of us)

BamaBoi 05-07-2010 06:44 PM

eye what??
 
i'm a butch and eye contact is rare when meeting someone new... i know with me i'm a lip starer... it's a subconscious thing i do.. and the more they talk... the more i stare at them... it's also good to test this out with women..cuz if they stare at your lips alot..they might be interested :P

Blade 05-07-2010 07:02 PM

To me eye contact is about confidence. I think anyone who knows me would say I was quite confident. I walk with my head up and when I address anyone be it with a nod or verbally I look them in the eye. When I shake someones hand I look them in the eye. The eyes can say a lot about a person. It doesn't matter to me if a person is butch or any gender for that matter, my confidence level stays the same.

Knuckle bump? WTF?

When we meet, it will be the leaping chest bump.

It's like butch ballet, man.
