Girls Are Aggressive Part 1: Eye Contact Is Not Awkward

We've been out at bars and clubs lately, and one thing that I can't get used to is how hard girls will stare at guys. If this is what ladies feel like in America, then I'm sorry on behalf of all men for making you feel creeped out all the time. Holy shit it's awkward.

This phenomenon seems to be the most pronounced in bars that have a high white-dude ratio. Park 97 is a club in Fuxing park that feels straight out of the mission in San Francisco, right down to the clientele. We've been there a couple of times, and the staring is out of control. Granted, there are a lot of hookers there that are cruising for rich, old, lonely-looking white guys; but that doesn't account for all the hard looks.

One example. We met a girl named Lily a weeks ago after 20 minutes of direct eye-contact prevented us from ignoring her and her friends any longer. The last 10 minutes of our nervous conversation before Bo approached them went like this:

"Are they still looking over here?"
"Jesus. yes"
"Wow"
"Dudes, they're total prostitutes"
"They've got to be, right?"
"Oh my god, they're still looking."
"Should we go talk to them?"
"Fuck that, they probably know Chinese ninja mind tricks to suck money out of my wallet"
"AAHHHH, they won't stop staring - I feel uncomfortable"
"They're total pros..."
"Yeah, totally"
"I don't know, maybe not?"

So Bo charged over there and bought one of them a drink, and they all turned out to be super nice, normal girls. We've hung out with them a bunch since, and mentioned that we thought they were prostitutes originally, which (I think) they thought was funny.
