Exp 1 (b)

My cousins and I were hanging around at the Portugese Square in Malacca earlier this month. Somehow, the conversation got to "the difference in reactions to attention from the opposite sex in different genders". It was quite an interesting discussion, actually. And we came up with some general theories:

Guys:
(a) If a girl stares/looks at a guy, and he notices, he tells his friends, and his friends will all turn and stare* at the girl.

(b) If a girl stares/looks at a guy, and his friends notice, they will tell him and he will turn and stare* at the girl.

*outright "checkin' ya out."

Girls:
(a) If a guy stares/looks at a girl, she will pretend not to notice and not mention anything to her friends. Unless he persists, and she'll mumble something like, "Is that guy staring at us???"

(b) If a guy stares/looks at a girl, and her friends notice... She'll be subjected to a lot of giggling and nudging, and the most she'll do is sneak a peek to see if he really IS looking over. Her friends will do all the "watching" on her behalf.


We decided to test one of those theories out (accidentally..hehe). I smiled and pointed in the general direction of a random guy. Without realizing that his friends were walking right behind him. And they'd have been blind NOT to notice.

We didn't think anything of it at first, other than the initial "ohmigosh!" reaction. And continued yapping away as per the usual. But when we were walking back to the car, I noticed the same guy and his friends standing in a group. So I decided to test out our "theory" and stare at him again.

His friends were already staring at me, anyway, so it kinda made it easier for me to prove/disprove said theory. As we passed them, I deliberately eyed his group of friends, making sure they noticed. Then as we were nearing the car, I turned around to look at them again - and sure enough, said lab-rat was standing on tiptoes, trying to get a glimpse of us over his friends head *laughs hysterically*

Now that's the kind of experiment that we should have more often! *dries tears* The situation in school is also playing out along the same lines, so heck, this just proves one thing:

The Lim cousins are analytical geniuses! (And I have never enjoyed an experiment so much in my life!)
