Being blown off...why?

I have noticed quite a few times at parties or meeting new girls in social environments like that, girls just blow me off without saying a word. Today for example, I went with my flatmate to a party that was dead, the hostess greeted my flatmate, but didnt say anything to me. I said hello, and went for the handshake but her handshake was so flimsy and rubbish.

Anyway, we went into the main room, there was her, another girl and myself with another guy. The other girl was fine with me, giving me eye contact - and generally being cool with me. The hostess on the other hand, I found to be very distant and not talking to me properly when I just asked very simple questions.

I had good bodylanguage, laid back on the couch and chatted to everyone in the group, introduced myself to everyone and told them my name etc. Yet I cant understand why I got blew off for no apparent reason. This has happened a few times and it is really starting to annoy me. Of course there are girls that like talking to me, but then there are those that act like this.

Thanks

It hurts, you know - especially when you make an effort to be social - when I was speaking to the girl giving me eye contact I gave the other girl eye contact too, I spoke to everyone in the group. But then, I had to put up with that? :s-smilie:

Fair enough if I was hitting on her, but I wasnt even hitting on her like wtf?

She's vindictive, superficial and, having already dismissed you out-of-hand as a 'non-shag', decides it would profit her none to muster the necessary strength-of-will to be civil; especially when, being (objectively) physically repulsive, you're liable to misconstrue any lack of outright hostility for wanton, unbridled lust and an implicit sexual proposition along the lines of "take me now, you smouldering slab of Armani-marinaded man-meat".

At least, such has been my experience (which I duly extrapolate to mankind in its entirety).

Like I said, some girls are just bitches. I know it hurts. It happens to me too, and I'm a girl ffs! (And trust me, I don't look the slightest bit butch so they have no reason to think I'm hitting on them!)

Honestly, if they're going to be stuck up bitches, you're better off not knowing them.

Some girls are really rude and paranoid, assume that every guy must be hitting on them because they're so perfect (though this paranoia is usually caused by a lack of self-confidence), and thus try to dissuade you from making any more contact with them by being rude. Some also think you're beneath them and only save their breath for people they can use in the future. Quite a few guys like that too.

That's another way of saying the same thing. :smile:

I personally think a lot of girls think you're hitting on them, even when you're not.

It's irrelevant to the original point, but that's my input. lol.

She wasn't even fit, that was the irony of it all.

But then again, I suppose she thought I wasn't too - hahaha. Bull****.

Let her live in her castle in the sky. She'll come down to earth eventually, and it won't be a pretty landing.

Yeah, normally I would not let this bother me, like I know I am not the best looking guy in the world, but I like talking to girls because they seriously do fascinate me with their behaviour sometimes.

Eventually with this girl, I just got so fed up, drank my drink and started speaking to her flatmate and my mate. She ended up tidying the flat up....

Oh, absolutely. It truly is the most loathsome conceit: unfortunately, being ginger (whether or not you are more Damien Lewis or Justin Timberlake than Chris Evans or Charles Kennedy) means that there is a certain kind of cureless bitch whom you can expect to treat you with utter and brazen contempt right off the bat.

You should move to the US. Everyone loves gingers here, especially in New York City, where everyone and their dog claim to be Irish. :smile:

And anything that sounds remotely like Hugh Grant or Stephen Fry (which, I'm told, I do); yes, so I gather.

Or China, where red signifies 'good luck'. Though I'm not yet at the nadir of conceding my civil liberties for the sake of a lay. (Next year, perhaps.)

Ah, but wouldn't you like to start ignoring people who you think are coming on to you or breathing in your space? :smile:

Don't worry OP, I think we've all experienced this phenomenon. I see it in bars all the time. The girls unanimously congregate around one bloke and everybody else is completely ignored. Such is life.

don't try so hard, u will only waste ur time and end up questioning your self if its you or her.

shes a bag of aids, and prepare to meet alot of them from now on =)

I'm female, and even with that uber-qualification I'm still perplexed by her behaviour...but yes, some girls are like that. It does a lot some egos when they can run to their friends claiming some guy immediately started hitting on them and that he wouldn't stop bothering them (they love it when they can bitch about a guy who wouldn't leave them alone, and how they brushed him off).

Maybe you were trying too hard (ie. the fact that you KNOW you had good body language e.t.c).
Maybe you didn't come across as well as you thought you did.
OR
maybe she is a lesbian

Thats totally right!
Not all girls are like it - far from it in fact - but there are some girls (just as there are some guys) who just think that they are better than everybody else; they have their friends who they think are cool, and everybody else isn't, so they don't bother even with being polite. I'm a girl and I try to be at least polite to absolutely everyone unless I have a general reason for disliking them and most of my friends seem to do the same, but there are the odd few who are just plain rude and arrogant. Having said that, she may have been just having a bad day or you may have reminded her of an ex-boyfriend :P
