i am perma-single, but i have female relatives around my own age and when out in public with them other women for some reason look at me as if i am hot shit. it is really bizarre. i also remember in my teenage years when i was around girls frequently how some girls who played the whole semi-interested schtick where suddenly extremely interested when i had something going on with another girl, trying to get intel on the other girl etc. at the time i didn't understand any of it and thought they were just being friendly with each other.
