Gettin The "Look" - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

feelgood · 12-09-2003, 07:07 PM

Everytime I walk around in the house, I get the "Look" from my step mom and my step sister. It's fukin annoying and I need something quirky to say to them. Any ideas?

nirol · 12-09-2003, 07:12 PM

How about putting your pants back on before coming out of your room?

JStrider · 12-09-2003, 07:12 PM

whats got your panties in a tangle?

kel · 12-09-2003, 07:15 PM

Be better then them... ignore it.
If they can't be civil then they are inferior human beings to you. Don't use their inferiority as an excuse to debase yourself.

Extreme I know.

Kaos · 12-09-2003, 07:30 PM

"Yes! It's me, and I'm FABULOUS!" (In an effeminate voice works best)

WarWagon · 12-09-2003, 07:35 PM

Don't kid yourself, you KNOW I look good.

wilbjammin · 12-09-2003, 07:38 PM

Just start doing the dance that Tom Cruise does in Coctail in his underwear.

Quote Hamlet?

Um... start talking about the most disturbing thing you saw on the news and how you can't believe how someone would do that... and go on to talk in detail about just how disturbing it is without stopping.

You know... things like that.

Xiangsu · 12-09-2003, 07:57 PM

Just be honest/blunt and ask them what the hell they are looking at. If they don't say anything next time say that the first 10 seconds of staring is free but after that its 2.99 per hour.

Tiger69z · 12-09-2003, 08:01 PM

Lick your lips in slow....seductive fashion

they'll get the message

ah, he still has to LIVE with them after that. Just do something that will make em laugh, if ever time they see you they enjoy themselves I think they will stop giving you "the look".

YourNeverThere · 12-09-2003, 08:08 PM

set yourself on fire, thats what I do.

taliendo · 12-09-2003, 08:27 PM

what kind of 'look' is it? - the crook eye, stink eye, evil eye. . .or perhaps fuckme eyes?

just curious. . .

Evil Milkman · 12-09-2003, 08:31 PM

Look for hidden cameras in your room?

What kind of look? Are they hot?

feelgood · 12-09-2003, 08:38 PM

Hot? Oh jeez, they look like they've been beaten up with the ugly stick the size of a telephone pole.

They give me the look like evil, crook, stink combined kind of thing...you know? The kind that women give to men all the time. I call em the "Nagging" look, the kind of look that when us men come home from work and the wife is there and she's giving us the nagging look like we did something wrong...

alin8456 · 12-09-2003, 09:08 PM

Make an anti-feminist remark

That'll throw them off

Craven Morehead · 12-09-2003, 09:18 PM

scratch your balls

tikki · 12-10-2003, 12:13 AM

hmm, I get the look from most of my female friends. I have come to just accept it. Hell, sometimes its pretty hawt.

Phaenx · 12-10-2003, 01:16 AM

Go "What's for dinner?"

That will show them.

Mephisto2 · 12-10-2003, 03:09 AM

What exactly is "the look"?

Not really sure I understand what you mean.

Mr Mephisto

feelgood · 12-10-2003, 05:54 AM

Something sneer kind of look. Every women has their kind of "look" when they're not happy or pmsing. I'm sure the ladies of this forum can explain better than I can...

Peryn · 12-10-2003, 10:05 AM

Get a camera handy. Next time they do it, snap a picture. Nobody likes looking dumb in front of a camera.

water_boy1999 · 12-10-2003, 10:27 AM

Tell them their faces will get stuck like that if they keep glaring.

chrisg299 · 12-10-2003, 12:13 PM

Tell em you think 'the look is sexay and kinda turns you on

' and give em a seductive look back... they can't help but laugh, i say that everytime i get the look from one of my female friends

World's King · 12-10-2003, 12:27 PM

You must have done something wrong.

Ask. There is no reason why you can't ask what the problem is.

scratch your balls and walk away ignoring it. It drives people crazy when you ignore them

emmdubbs · 12-10-2003, 02:49 PM

wrinkle your nose, and say "ahh...so your shit doesn't smell like roses either, glad i'm not the only one who noticed."

Gets my vote.

Ask them if there is something wrong. More than likey they will deny any ill will. Then you can say 'Whew, for a while there I though I had done something to upset you. Now I can relax. *scratch balls* I don't know why I asked because I'm sure if you were upset with me in any way you would be up front and honest and just tell me what was wrong." Walk away with a big smile on your face and never mention it again. Every time you see the same look just give them a big (shit eating) grin.

<-- Like this!

frozenstellar · 12-10-2003, 06:52 PM

walk out like normal. except with your wang hanging out.

they'll never be able to look at you the same anymore, and hence wont look at you again.

feelgood · 12-10-2003, 06:53 PM

With nobody home except my step sister, she gave me the looks and I said "What the fuck is your problem" and she was about to open her mouth and I said "Whoops! Time up!" and walked away. I'll probably get more sneerish look from her but fuck it.

or the fact that you are just being lazy about the house not helping out or doing anything with yourself.

LOL, that really cracked me up. Because you don't really know me and what goes on around the house. That kinda was uncalled for...

Yet another good lesson in the book of, The Proper Way To Start A Thread.

This is for everyone who's not already familiar, not feelgood in particular.

You should really provide a good bit of background material, ESPECIALLY if you plan on us feeling bad for you. People's tendencies towards empathy are usually quite small when they see no reason to feel sorry for you- in this case, there is actually something of an argument to the contrary because of the lack of background info. Also, if you're going to reference something as ambiguous as a "look", please explain so that we might better be able to help you.

From your post, and your additions along the way, I gather you do a lot of work and get nothing but leers and bullshit from your step-mom and step-sister. Maybe they feel you don't accept them. Maybe they don't accept you. Whatever you do, I don't think making snide commentary is something you want to do. The last thing you want is to give them ammunition.

Don't sink to their level. Just smile back, and not sarcastically. They'll either be killed by your kindness or wisen up to their bullshit. If they don't wisen up, you'll have the satisfaction that you are still a better person than they are.

Oh...

...and try not to let this type of thinking carry on. Stereotyping women in this way will only get you into trouble with women in the future, or may even prevent you from having a nice, healthy relationship with one. Just a thought. You ask for advice, I deliver.

Best of luck, let us know.
