Do you have eye-to-eye contact with passerbys on the pavement?

Sure do - it really seems to freak some people out. Seriously, it does show a level of confidance and actually makes you less of a target of crime. It shows you are aware of your surroundings, are prepared, and likely confidant enough not to be taken advantage of. It also can make you more approachable and therefore desireable to someone who may catch yor eye (if you're looking)!! Have fun and make all the eye contact you can!

No not me, ever since two losers pulled a gun out on me while I was driving about 10 years ago. They wanted me to pull over and I told him Hell No! Which made him more pissed, think of American Me (prison type guys), I kept yelling to him that I was not going to pull over and he was going to have to shoot me. I said that cause I would rather be shot right there, then not knowing what would of happen to me and my friend if I had pulled over.
So no, I don't make eye contact.

It's good to make eye contact with people. It shows confidence. I obviously can't make eye contact with everyone in crowded places, but I try to atleast scan a room when I enter.

Not usually, I'm busy thinking of my life and they're busy thinking of theirs. I don't expect others to make eye contact with me. If I'm thinking of something like what I'm doing for dinner and I look up and some person is staring right at me, it makes me lose my focus. So I just walk to where I want to go, and pass people by. But don't think I'm not paying attention to them, I am always aware of my surroundings, being a young woman and vulnerable to attack.

Sometimes for a second. I'm not one of those people who will just stare at strangers. I'm not sure when it became okay to stare. I still think it's rude. And I'm not from the older generation. I'm in my twenties.

Yes... And if they are female and good looking, I try to imagine what their face would look like in the throes of an orgasm. Makes the day more interesting!

Yes, but not all. I don't have that much time to look at them.
