I’m an American who just moved to Campinas, Sao Paulo literally a few days ago.
I was just walking around in one of the big local malls, Iguatemi, and noticed (what seems to me) a strange thing. Despite the occasional direct eye contact from girls, I’ve noticed that many of them go out of their way to AVOID eye contact.
For example, a girl is coming towards you, and you’re well-dressed, well-mannered, acting completely casual, and not trying to initiate eye contact. The girl turns her head so far away from you that it’s comical. (Imagine her walking straight ahead, but with her head turned a complete 90 degrees to the left.)
This has happened enough times already that I’m beginning to wonder if they find me repulsive! It’s a bit amusing, since I’m a decent-looking guy who’s had some lovely girlfriends, but I can’t help but be a little concerned since a number of them (even some average to below-average lookers) have displayed this behavior, and without the slightest provocation from me.
My intuition tells me that some of them could possibly be interested in me ... but if so they have a damn strange way of showing it.
Would truly appreciate any comments or feedback that any of you are willing to share ...
