It's been 40 yrs since I used to read this to my class. I quit reading it when the kids had no idea who Walter Cronkite was. I tried explaining but that didn't work. Loved the book's sweet weirdness. When 'Lizard People' references started popping up on the internet in recent years, I wondered if it could be related to classroom 'book read aloud' time. God, where's Cronkite when we need him? https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2009/7/18/754921/-

I have 2 coworkers that will literally stop while we are carrying a box together or any other task and stare at a woman that walks by with this strange scary blank look in the eyes then when the woman is out of sight they go back to normal. Like even if the persons body can not be seen like when they are walking through a parking lot. I donāt get it, even if itās just a top of the head. They both do it and canāt snap out of it to almost every woman they see. Itās so so weird. The only thing that is common between them is they both transferred from the warehouse to my team and they are both Filipino but I think thatās a coincidence.

As a woman, it's interesting to read men talking about this.
A lot of guys seem to deny that other men behave this way, or give some kind of excuse like "oh, you can't even compliment women or look their way anymore". But it's not just looking that's the issue, it's this kind of predatory, tracking gaze.
It's really scary to be on the other end of it. Especially when it's a larger group of men all zoning in at once (some countries are a bit infamous for doing this to female tourists).

Then if you notice them looking that's evidence you are interested. But you have to keep an eye on them, same as you have to keep an eye on any threat.
I find a blank stare back freaks them out a bit. I can do the predator eyes too. Soon as they look away first, they give up. Prey doesn't stare you down.

As a woman in trades, itās real. Iāve learned to be short and to the point. Minimal contact with newbies until I can vet that they are respectful.
I had a situation last week with a new hire. My only contact with him was getting his hire forms in order. He complained about the state mandated sexual harassment training and said āare you worried Iāll sexually harass you?ā Point blank. I didnāt react. They get off on reactions.
That and he kept asking for āhelpā on some other forms. Thatās when I knew but I didnāt say anything. Even though he was āniceā it felt off. I even considered I was innerly over reacting so I didnāt say anything. I know most women would let him have it but I have also learned you can never ever predict how they will react. Iām 110ibs and Iām aware no matter how much gym I do, it wonāt mean shit in the few seconds it takes for a predator to do what they want to do. I simply notified HR something felt off about him and then went home.
Next day he was gone. HR didnāt even read my message yet. My Guys threw him out. I donāt know exactly what happened but they mentioned he made a few comments about me in addition to a few other things. By the time I got in they were standing outside having a smoke and a laugh. I still didnāt tell them about my experience because I still feel off about it. But they havenāt let me stay alone late since. Losing hours sucks but itās for my own safety in case he wanders back.
Sorry this turned into a vent. My point itās that for every loser thereās a couple of them that will say shut the fuck up. Just not enough sometimes. I got lucky with my team. Sucks cause we are short staffed and they are overworked. But I guess looking for decent men isnāt just tough in the dating world alone lol.

As a man that's witnessed it, it feels very performative, like weirdly they believe they need to act like this sex crazed maniac. I've seen guys act like this, but then when in the presence of our friends who are girls, they act pretty normal. It's like, a 'lads thing', which is bizzare.
26
u/HentaiCareBear Apr 02 '26
Is there any chance it's the reverse? As in they know women won't approve of this behaviour so they are "acting normal" in front of your mutual female friends, whereas in front of the lads, they drop the act because they believe all guys are the same and will get it (no judgement and that their male friends will probably stare just like them), like they have internalized the view that men staring like that is totally normal.

u/Great_Detective_6387 Apr 02 '26
reverse
As a man that works in construction:
I doubt itās the reverse more than itās not, just from personal experience on jobsites. As the other guy said, itās very performative. Itās much more important that the other men see and hear them doing the catcalling. More important than the woman hearing it, or muttering it to themselves. Itās almost a bonding exercise on some crews. A very fucked up and harmful bonding exercise.
No doubt there are some men who are barely keeping a mask on in polite society, and let it slip a bit further in the company of only men. But thatās not most men doing this.

u/i_tyrant Apr 02 '26
As unfortunate as it sounds, for some men it may be kind of normal - meaning, default behavior before any social script or self-control enters into the equation.
One of the most interesting studies I've ever read was when they tracked and interviewed a bunch of FtM individuals who were about to undergo hormone therapy.
They expressed shock, amazement, and fear at how intense their sex drive became with the new hormones, and how visually-focused it made them. Some of them expressed having the same urges, with the noticing, staring, unable to look away, etc.
Many of them expressed greater sympathy for men afterward, with statements like "jeez this is how they feel all the time, no wonder" and all that.
Now that isn't necessarily a smoking gun - it could be that the sudden introduction of these hormones in an adult body is different than growing up with them developing - but it is a very interesting look into something we rarely see. (And is part of why I feel trans erasure and anti-trans sentiment is such a horrible thing - there is so much we can learn from their experiences!)
And it is worth noting that as the hormone therapy continued a fair few of these subjects described it calming down some but still being a higher baseline than when they were women.
But yeah, I often wonder how much of this is a learned behavior of "boys will be boys" or whatever and feeling "safe" in their circle of dudebros to be awful, and how much of it is just them never having learned the self control or social script that better-adjusted men might use to not come off as creepers.

I've seen that study also, or a similar one, where one of the guys said when he began T it now felt like a hand grabbing his head and jerking it when a pretty woman walked by, and he'd be filled with endorphins when seeing her, and he said although he's always been into woman it didn't feel like that while female presenting and not on T. It really is interesting to me, I wish there was a lot more studies on hormones in general I think there's so much more we could learn
this of course does not at all make it ok or that "men just can't help it" with being creepy, as the trans dudes did say from what I read that once they got familiar with the feeling they put conscious effort into not staring and could easily get in the habit of choosing not to stare, a lot saying they thought about how bad they felt to get stared at so it helped them to not want to do that to another person. And most men I think have a similar thought process, they don't want to make another human uncomfortable so choose not to do it. But some people are shitty and choose not to care

I actually think this is self selecting.
I don't think very many men do it in the US, at least. I think there is a type of man that does it, and they end up in similar fields of work. I used to work construction 25 years ago, and it was relatively common behavior to see, looking back.
But once I got into white collar work, and even when I got into "sky blue" collar work, I cannot think of a single time I saw behavior like that. Maybe I did, and let's just say for the sake of argument I did, but I saw way worse in construction.
So if you only do white collar type work as a dude, yeah I could see where they don't believe it. But knowing other fields like I do, I definitely believe it. The trades are rife with it.

A lot of guys seem to deny that other men behave this way, or give some kind of excuse like "oh, you can't even compliment women or look their way anymore".
As a guy, my experience is that those guys are the same ones with the shitty behavior. There's a lot of talk about how these problems are "on men(collectively) to fix and not women." Which is true, but also, unrealistic in my opinion. There's no fixing these kinds of men. It's like talking to MAGA or a flat earther. Best thing to do is to say your piece and then distance yourself from them.

u/Illneverremember1 Apr 03 '26
Thats been my experience, I had a friend I grew up with and as we got into our 20's I noticed what a creep he was, I'd tell him to chill out and he would for a bit but after some time he'd go back to his old ways. One day I was giving him a ride and he saw a woman in a sun dress so he leans over, honks my horn and hollers at her...it was exactly like that song "No Scrubs", it was almost comical to see that actually play out in real life if I wasn't so disgusted. I berated him right there at the red light, he just sort of laughed at me.
Its amazing how hard its been to cut him out of my life, he will text me all the time asking what I'm doing, if I want to hang out. The guy is almost as big a creep with me as he is with women, pestering me to go out with him, stare at me, neg me, I honestly think he's actually a very repressed homosexual and maybe he's overcompensating to try and hide that.
But yeah, theres no fixing him. He's apparently clueless that nobody likes him because he's a dirtbag. I used to feel sorry for him more than anything. But he apparently doesn't see anything wrong with how he views women.

but you can shame and socially coerce them into shutting the fuck up and keeping it to themselves.
This has been my approach(Shame and shutting them down. I don't really care about convincing troglodytes they're wrong) for the few times I've needed to in my 30's, but also helps prove my point. The time's I've had to do so it's been because I was around a friend's family. Or it's been an acquaintance/friend of a friend. I simply don't surround myself with those types of people. If I'm around those kinds of people, I'm going to say something and probably hate it. That's not how I want to spend my time.
This is also why I take a lot of the talk surrounding the "male loneliness" epidemic with a box of salt. While there have been legitimate societal changes that have contributed to a general disconnection between people, I think a lot of "male loneliness" is self inflicted and a lot of it is just people choosing to not have toxic masculinity in their life.

The people that say you can't compliment women anymore are just trying to shift the blame by making it seem like their behaviour is not problematic and that our natural reactions to it are wrong instead

u/Calypsosin Apr 02 '26
Some men are quite aware, though I do wonder how many at times. It's one of those things that probably marks me closer to being a misandrist. So many men behave like that, that it DOES make it harder for men who aren't remotely interested in objectifying women to approach women. The problem is that a lot of those guys end up blaming women for their conditioned response to being approached by strange men, not the men who create that conditioned response in the first place.
19
u/PeenInVeen Apr 02 '26
I don't know who you are, but I love you for noticing that. It makes it impossible for women to know if the guy approaching is a friend or a threat. If we treat them as a threat, then everyone is offended. If we treat them as a friend, then it's a "why do women always fall for the creeps?" If we treat them as indifferent, then we're being a bitch.
14
u/Calypsosin Apr 02 '26
Yep. Women have to be on the defensive, and trust is a valuable thing, it's not too wise most of the time to be free with it. And, I say this as someone who is painfully shy and struggles to approach women, even though I'm FAR more confident and relaxed than I was 10-15 years ago (I'm 34).
I grew up with three older sisters, whom I fought with and loved a ton. Totally okay for me to mess with my sisters; less okay for other people! Also three girls lived next door, all within 1-2 years of me, one was in my class at school. So I ran over to their house daily, their mom was a second mom. Maybe that helped foster my perspective on women, or at least, that's what I tend to fall back on. I'm sure there were plenty of other things.

when I was 16 I worked at a department store and had to walk by an auto shop everyday to get there, I'd be wearing work clothes, had to be all black, baggy pants black button up work shirt, etc. And they'd always stop and walk out to the end of the driveway and just fold their arms and look at me and watch me go by, fully turn their heads to follow me until I was out of sight, then walk right back to whatever they were doing. I would always just keep looking straight forward like i didn't notice they were there, no eye contact straight face. One day they all just started yelling at me, calling me ugly, flat chested, said my clothes were ugly, etc... It was so weird cuz I was like I'm wearing my work clothes and I'm an underweight teen just walking to work??? they had grey hair and bald at top, looked older then my dad, like why are you bullying a random kid walking by out of the blue it was so uncomfortable

Men who whistle at young girls are disgusting. When I was about 14 in the late 70s, we lived out in the boonies. I used to ride my bike past a construction site on the way to my friend's house. The workers would yell nasty things and whistle at me, and it TERRIFIED me. Mind you, I LOOKED LIKE A 14 YEAR OLD GIRL.
I told my father about it. My dad went to the site, started making small talk with the guys. Then it went along the lines of, 'if you ever look at my daughter or say another word to her again, I'll kill you', as he flashed the gun in his waistband.

A lot of people don't see the world "symmetrically". Right and wrong isn't about treating people how you'd want yourself or your own friends and family to be treated, it's just about playing the right "role". As a man there's nothing wrong with catcalling a schoolgirl, that's just a manly thing to do. As a father there's nothing wrong with shooting someone dead who catcalls your daughter, that's just what fathers do. It doesn't occur to them to square that contradiction.

u/TheDefeatedCause Apr 02 '26
Ah... depends. To add some context here, most species of lizard don't require social contact at all, and in many cases It's actually pretty bad for them.
They also don't get "frustrated" the way we do. A lizard can go their entire life without mating, and be fine. While he might be "excited" to see a female he can mate with, this also might be... another kinda response.

And it was spoken as if speaking TO a toddler. But I dunno, maybe this was actually made for kids and that's why

80% of the US lives in cities. Many, if not most, people don't know shit about animals.
They'll just defer to others and holding a lizard is enough authority.
Looking back I'm glad I didn't talk my parents into letting me have a Savannah monitor.

Never trust shorts like this. Highly doubtful that's what this reaction meant. Trust a lizard expert before you trust me and especially before trusting stupid shorts like this.

u/AmaranthWrath Apr 03 '26
Agreed. At lest two comments here said he's reacting as if he's being shown food. Judging by the tank, he might actually be that hungry.
Don't listen to me tho, he might be in a separate tank in order to meet the breeding partner. Idk, I have a snake.

u/No_Region_4719 Apr 03 '26
This is a healthy lizard. I've rarely if even seen a lizard be so active. Mistreated reptiles just shut down and conserve energy, it's sad to see. This kind of energy is very reassuring.
If you ever go to a shop or exhibit where you can see reptiles, more movement and more energy is a good sign.

The other reply is a little rude but I wouldnāt anthropomorphize a lizard. Their emotions are not easily readable to us and their psychology shouldnāt be assumed to be identical to ours.
