head to foot glance

It’s not just polite to glance at a person from head to foot. It’s as if you’re challenging that person into something or you’re making them look suspicious. I usually would give an odd face to that person to let him know that I wasn't feeling good about it. If he keeps on doing that then I'll just confront him and ask.

This happens mostly in India. They will not do it subtly but right on one's face. Ugh! I say. I hate it too. I coil up when they do that to me and avoid such people if I can.

Hi Tita D, I admit I also do that sometimes, but I do it intentionally, especially if that I hate the guts of that particular person. I'm a mean girl sometimes, I admit it but I must my attitude really depends on the persons who I'm talking to. Have a great day ahead!

Yeah, it's true, it's really offending when someone do that to you but don't get affected. They just envy you for sure I remembered my high school days way back, I did not only got a stare from head to foot but for me a sort of disrespect too. My bestfriend and I passed by her classmate in the school corridor and they greeted each other. That classmate was also with her friends so she introduced my bestfriend to them and when she looked at me, her eyes run down on me from head to foot and remarked "and she, oh, I don't know who she is!" with a matching raising eyebrows huh I just shrugged it off only to find out from my bestfriend that, that girl's boyfriend who happened to be our friend too had a crush on me, wow! I just laughed because obviously that girl don't like me because of envy maybe, or jealousy of some sort

two things ...its either a compliment that your fashion sense was great and that person was appreciating your get up ....but on the hand if your fashion sense was a bit odd and its capturing attention other's attention then it becomes insulting remark in a upfront silent way

I would be offended too! I mean, who wouldn't? But the best way to deal with it, I believe, is to give them a taste of their own medicine. Look at them too from head to toe and see if they won't get affected. And if they react negatively, then say flatly that you are only returning the favor. Hmp!

I can understand your point here,it's like getting an instant inspection of everything about you from your appearance,your shoes,clothing,and even your body shape...And it's quite insulting for them to be doing this while you're aware of it..Body language is an important part of our interpersonal communication,what is actually said only forms a small percentage of the information passed..Having someone Arrogantly checking you out like that is like them issuing You a challenge..it's your call how to respond..

Hello D! Well i hate being measured up like that too and i share the same feelings. When a girl looks at me like that i can't help but be irritated but to calm myself down i just tell myself that she's just jealous coz i'm prettier than her. I hate it when men stare too much, i feel like i'm being undressed.

I think it is depend on the way the person looked at me, the eyes can never lied whether the person looked at me because of jealousy or because the person is impressed with us. I had experience when I hanged out with my boyfriend for the first time, a girl was stared at me from head to foot and I can tell she was really jealous to see my gorgeous man walked with me, so I stared back at her and smiled evilishly hahaha. But in another time, a girl was stared at me but I dont see jealousy looks in her face so I noded and gave a friendly smile. Their eyes will tell whether they looks at us with jealousy eyes or with wow eyes.
