Hi! I work in a large store.

My office has a large window facing the street.

The street sees a fair amount of foot traffic, and the large windows make the interior visible.

Basically, I can see out, and people can see in.

I sit at my PC in profile view.

When people walk by outside, they see me in profile while I’m working at the computer.


That said, this keeps happening with three specific women who walk past.

The first lady has dogs; the second always walks by at the same time; and another one specifically parks her car right behind my office window, even where there are free parking slot near the bulding she go, then gets out of her car, and walks behind my office glass..

All three of these women slow down their walking for a moment outside the window and side glance inside at my profile. (Or they will do something like hair flip, etc)

I’ve been told I’m attractive, so they might just want to look at me.

I’d just like to understand why women behave this way.

What’s the point of just glancing in when they could simply knock and ask for information, get to know me, or strike up a conversation?

One of them, when I turned around and caught her looking at me, made her gaze much more intense, as if trying to look seductive, and then walked away. But she didn't smile.

Just wondering the meaning of this

I think lots of people, especially women, like to look in through windows when passing outside. I do. I love to be walking after dark and get to see into people's homes when they have lights on and drapes still open. Especially at Christmas, I love when people display their livingroom Xmas tree in front of a window at night, with drapes open, and all the tree lights twinkling.

I'm not sure why these 3 ladies are so into looking you over when they pass by. It seems a bit rude, if they're actually making eye contact with you. Have you tried walking by outside, yourself, to see how the office looks from the perspective of the sidewalk?

I can see how it might be a bit disconcerting - like you're working in a fish bowl. If you dress well, maybe they admire how put-together you look.
