If it's someone attractive, I go from a nine-teen year old college male to a pink-haired blushing loli. If it's someone unattractive or just someone I'm not into, I get skeptical since I can't see myself as being attractive per say.
How do you react to being hit on/checked out?

I'm fairly hideous so the only people who have made a pass at me (At least strangers in an obvious way) were total weirdos and/or heavily intoxicated. Whenever that situation arose I steered them toward someone else.
Well enough, I guess?
I don't see any reason to be bothered by it.
I do often wonder if I annoy people, though. I'm not likely to be receptive to flirting unless I'm dealing with somebody I really like. That isn't to say I'm opposed to the idea, I just don't take the initiative on very many people; sometimes I wonder if people are expecting me to make the first move and just give up when it doesn't happen, even though I wouldn't have turned them down.

I've been told I'm really quite shockingly bad at picking up on girls hitting on me, but on the occasion i do then it's one of three.
a) I find them attractive, so i flirt back...who knows, maybe it will go somewhere.
b) I don't find them attractive, so i smile say thank you and be friendly but steer the conversation in a neural direction.
c) I'm not sure if they are flirting with me/hitting on me so i sort of turn into an idiot and say stupid stuff as i try to work out if she IS hitting on me or if i'm just imagining/wishing she was.
It's option c a depressingly large proportion of the time sadly enough though

I just roll with it, all the while thinking: okay girl, you have 30 seconds to convince me WHY you think you are better/more beautiful/smarter than my girlfriend. No? Thought so, now leave me be while I drink my beer (assuming I'm in a club/bar at the moment.
Evolutionary thinking: I act not interested (because I'm not), and this help with the whole "I don't give a fuck' attitude, so more women to disappoint

This is pretty much the way I react too. I have managed to ignore a girl 7 years (and counting) after she hit on me. Living in a small place, going to the same school and taking the same bus I'd say that is pretty damn impressive.CrystalShadow said:
Now being checked out or hit on doesn't really happen that much to me, but most of the time I feel uncomfortable and not sure what to do. I get checked out every now and then at the gym and that really disturbs my confidence and concentration. I still can't get the image of that time when a girl actually had to twist her neck a perfect 90 degree to look my way and she did that while exercising until I finally moved to another place. I think it's normal to feel a little crept out at that...
What's funny though is that I quite enjoy flirting, I'm just terrified if someone flirts back.
Hah, as if anyone would hit on/check out this monster penis truck. But if they do I'll turn into this flatchested enforcer and beat the ever-tsundere-loving shit out of them for impure thoughts!
!
I have tendency to be a little of oblivious to such things. But if I do notice I will find some excuse to stretch or bend over to give them a better look at the goods
better make sure you don't get too close or it might explode!!!TehCookie said:
OT: I'd love to get hit on...in fact i'd give my left nut (kinda fond of my right) to get hit on these days, think the last time i got hit on was 6 years ago maybe, so ladies come at me haha!
I? just don't get hit on/checked out xD
In fact, living in Japan and being a half-Japanese dude with an afro in a country with a 99% indigenous population, I'd garner to say that I'm stared at like a strange and bizarre creature most of the time. I usually just ignore it xD

You clearly have not played Organ Trail.latiasracer said:
I personally wouldn't mind so long as it doesn't get physical, but otherwise, enjoy.
Well, when I get hit on I quietly thank the gods and try to keep her interest. I don't get hit on often because my demeanor is cold and intimidating, but when I do I am absolutely horrible at talking to girls that find me attractive. If we are just friends or we work together I am smooth and dashing, but once she shows interest I get the dumb.Miyenne said:
Now for your story. I would never sneer at a person checking me out, but I would let them know if I was uninterested. However, I find that girls are most often the ones to be annoyed or snarky when we guys check them out. Normally they are the girls that have always been "pretty" and know next to nothing about humility, but I digress.
In short, I know that feel bro.
I always smile and try to be nice, if I find the girl attractive I will flirt a bit back. Even though I am married I do still enjoy the attention lol.
I instantly suspect a sinister secret motive which obviously does not exist. I then duck out of the conversation and try to avoid the person at all costs. I don't have trust issues! Why would you even suggest that?
This uhh... This was a dumb question to ask on a gaming forum in all honesty. Every response can be wrapped up as; awkwardly, dismissively, defensively, or "wut". It may be "offensive" to say this, but most gamers are one of three things, too jaded, too sheltered, or too introverted. None of those attributes make for a very positive reaction in these cases. Of course there are exceptions, but I think you'd find more diversity on a more... Well... Diverse forum.
At the risk, however, of going off topic, I'll put myself in the jaded category. I don't believe in flirting and the like, despite being checked out on a -semi- regular basis, the game just bores me.
