Ha! Ha! Ha! That's funny as H*ll! I am sorry, i am laughing WITH you not AT you! This kind of thing used to happen to me too. Dude at some point you are making eye contact with these weirdos even if you don't think you are. Once eye contact is made they approach like the frinkin plague. Try looking at the ground next time! Ha! (And i thought it was just me!) Ha!

I'm the same way. I like to think it's because I'm approachable. Although the eye contact thing probably has something to do with it. I have a smile for everybody, which does open the door to some nutty people as well as old men trying to get a date. I've just learned how to lie; I'll say someones waiting for me at home/work/meeting and I've gotta run. You learn how to cope I guess, but if you don't want that attention, wear headphones, don't look directly at anyone and don't smile. Kinda shitty way to go about your day if you ask me, but to each their own!

I used to have that happen , now I give them a dirty look if they appear as if they want to approach me. I've actually told them I can hear them fine from where they are and if they get within reach I'm going to nail them ! Next time just stick out your hand and wave them off don't even slow to listen to them.

I think your personality polarity has shifted and you have turned into a Nut Magnet.
Much like when the earth shifts its magnetic poles, something has shifted in you and all the whack-a-loons pick up on this and are drawn to you.
My suggestion is have a look on your face of " I have a place to go and I'm already late for it" and that should dispell them

Yes you probaly do, and then people come and "bug" you probably asking you, "dude, what does buyg mean?" If you would correctly spell the words you have written on your forehead (a mirror helps, but remember to write them backwards in the mirror) then perhaps people wouldn't bug you anymore :-)

May be you look so bored or dejected that friendly people who are bored and/or miserable themselves feel they have to pull you out of your misery. Do you have any problem with some of them being black? If so you should see a counselor.

MarkA, this is all my fault, I'm so sorry.
I always tell those guys, "why are you asking a woman? Don't approach women, ask other men for help!". I think dudes need to get back to thinkin' women are to be honored, not solicited, and to not approach us.
So, it's working . . .

change your clothes and shoes, wear things that match and are current and are in one of the 5 major colors, wear some decent cologne and get a haircut, wear one color hair and no tattoos or earings, and make sure you don't wear your slacks too tight or inside your boots. Maybe they think you are one of them.

If nothing else you could at least start your own weird cult since you seem to have magnetism for nutcases.
