Out in town when girls are listening to music going around on their own. I think this is an increasing trend.
To the females on this site, does this mean you want to be left alone to listen to your music. Would you not like a man to approach you then? Or would you be as open to it as normal?
Thanks

on an off note, when i go around listening to music it makes me less sociable, this might apply to the female of the species also...
I always listen to music, in the house, car, bus, train or just walking around or shopping. It doesn't mean anything other than I like music. I would be as open to conversation as normal.
For some reason old people always start chatting to me when I'm on the bus so in that case I'd just take my head/ear phones out and have a natter. Its no big deal really.
I take them out when I'm getting on a bus/going into a shop too.
if someone spoke to me i'd just turn it off...
in answer to the origional post, I'm guessing people mainly wear headphones as to not be very unsociable, by listening to loud music on speakers, in public
I listen to the radio on my walkman (yes a proper old school walkman none of this fancy mp3 business) when I walk to the gym. I wouldn't be adverse to a gorgeous bloke approaching me, but not if they were playing a good tune. He'd have to wait till it was over.
Seriously, do guys really jut go up to girls in the middle of town and start chatting them up? It's never happened to me.
I wouldn't wear my headphones if i was a friend etc, as i think this is kinda unsociable. So yeah, i only have them in if on my own and as a 'leave me alone' sorta thing...
and to answer the question, i listen to music when i'm out on my own because its entertaining! but if guys in cars/on the street etc attempt to talk to me then i will take the headphones out. im so nice.
If they wanted to give me some money for getting my tits out, then fair deal.
I one word yes, I always seem to get some random bloke coming up to me and asking my name and if I want to talk to them. :nervous:
Nah, I work for Friends Provident in Manchester. But we have the first 5 floors in the building, and the Sport have the 6th.
It's in the old Express buidling on Ancoats!
Taking away one of my senses would make me feel not totally with it and I'd probably walk in front of a bus or something, or even worse try to sing in public and that's not nice for anyone.
This actually applies to me as well. Of course, no-one actually realises this. :yeees:
But when I do really feel unsociable and want to be left alone, like on the train, bus or coach for example, I not only plug in my headphones but I also take out a book and try to look really absorbed, consciously avoid eye-contact with people, etc. Lol, only thing missing is hanging on a sign that said 'do not disturb'... And even then people come up and talk to you.. :rolleyes: some people really are illiterate when it comes to body language aren't they?
Indeed. It's like the people who know I'm working/studying and still say something to me. They then moan if I ignore them... :rolleyes:
