Why do woman turn around?

This question is for the ladies. I am not looking for hateful comments from non-valuable men.

Throughout my entire life, I have always had woman stare at me, smile at me, or many times have had woman tell me how handsome I am. That said, a couple of months ago I read that if you walk by a woman and she stared at you (again, I have this all the time), then if you turn around, she may be looking at you from behind. I never knew this because when woman stare at me, I just continue with my day. So on Saturday l came out of a store and there were two woman walking past me. One of them stared at me, I looked at her, and then I broke eye contact and kept walking. As soon as I did that, i remembered what I read about the woman looking back. So, for the first time in my life, I turned around; I saw the one that stared at me turn to her friend and whisper something into her ear as they were walking away. The one that was whispered to turned around and looked at me with a smile. 

This is going to sound naive, so please no judgement; I am really trying to figure this out. What is the purpose of turning around and watching me walk away?

Why do woman turn around?

Ladies,

This is a sincere question; please be kind.

Throughout my entire life, I have always had woman stare at me, smile at me, or many times have had woman tell me how handsome I am. That said, a couple of days ago I read that if you walk by a woman and she stared at you (again, I have this all the time), then if you turn around, she may be looking at you from behind. I never knew this because when woman stare at me, I just continue with my day. So on Saturday l came out of a store and there were two woman walking past me. One of them stared at me, I looked at her, and then I broke eye contact and kept walking. As soon as I did that, i remembered what I read about the woman looking back. So, for the first time in my life, I turned around; I saw the one that stared at me turn to her friend and whisper something into her ear as they were walking away. The one that was whispered to turned around and looked at me with a big smile. 

This is going to sound naive, so please no judgement; I am really trying to figure this out. What is the purpose of turning around and watching me walk away?

Pressed her boobs on me

I was at an event with my coworker. My female boss walked over to me to tell me something quietly in my ear. When she did, I leaned about an inch forward and she came up to me and pushed and kept the pressure of her boob into my arm. it was definitely obvious. As I felt thins, I slowly moved my arm back to relieve the pressure. it was like she pushed her upper body on me. Is this normal when a girl talks to you in close proximity?

The Neighborhood Woman

There is a woman (age 30-40?) that I have never seen in our neighborhood who walks her dog. Every time I walk past her, she smiles really big and looks at me for a uncomfortable amount of time. At first, I thought she was looking at me because I am always dressed nice (I wear a suit everyday), but she does it when I am wearing shorts and flip-flops. Yesterday, I drove out of my driveway, and she walked past me with her dogs and stared at me and gave me a huge smile. I am trying to figure out if she is just being friendly or if she is interested in me.

Morticians two incidents.

I have been an Embalmer for 36 years.

During my career, I have had two extremely significant events which has changed everything how I used to believe about death and the afterlife. I am a Christian, but the two events in my career has made me question everything. I have never shared these two stories because I do not know how people will take it. Anyway, I have always wanted to get it off my chest. Now with the internet, and can do it. It is going to feel good to hit submit and let it all out. 

Here is my first incident. It was approximately 2am and I just finished embalming. I had approximately 6 bodies all embalmed on tables with white sheets over them. I had taken off my gown and gloves and walked across the room and opened the door. Right when I was about to turn off the lights, I had a rush of pressure that pushed me from behind. I need to say this push was not a regular push; not a focal point type of push when it is directed on your middle back or arm, or a push in a small area of my body. This was a type of wall push that touched the back of my ears to the back of my heels and everything in between. I was moved approximately 1 foot before I ran as fast as I could out the garage door. I jumped into my gray Volkswagen Jetta and drove to my condominium. When I got home, I sat down in my chair and spoke to Jesus and spoke out loud saying “I do not know how I offended you or if you are mad at me, but I am very sorry”. I remember looking at my right arm because my skin was tingling as I was saying this. All my hairs on my right arm looked like my skin was pickled; my hairs were standing straight up. I had never seen my hairs like that before.

Here is my second incident. This is a completely new funeral home and 23 years later from my first story. I was entering the funeral home to embalm. This was approximately 9pm at night. As an embalmer, we do work at all hours. I was in the prep room and took off my gown and gloves and went down the hallway to grab a bottle water out of the snack room little fridge. I then walked down the hallway back to the prep room. As I was walking back, there is a mirror in front of me down the long hall. Behind me is a glass door with our outside light on (in front of funeral home). As I was walking toward the mirror, a person walked to the door and turned and stopped. I saw this but I took a couple of steps further and immediately turned around and screamed. The person was no longer there.   It was a spirit who was behind me that I saw in the mirror in front of me. When I screamed, it screamed, and it continued to scream as I ran out of the funeral home. It then continued to scream as I just stood in the parking lot. The scream, it was my scream the whole time. It took my voice and copied it. (Edited June 15, 2026: This spirit was a mimic spirit).

Thank you everyone for listening. I will answer any questions you may have.

Mortician for 36 years...

I made a post on Reddit yesterday and I was told to post my story here on this forum and another forum. So here it goes I guess.

I have been a mortician for 36 years; I have embalmed over 12,000 bodies.

Suggestions?

I am going to purchase the online course for the Illinois Real Estate Broker. I read ACEABLE AGENT is a good option for an online course. Is this a good, solid company? Does anyone have tips on studying for this test? Is the test difficult?

Asked “Do you live here?”

Had an interaction where I introduced myself to a woman; I said my name and she said hers. she then asked if I live in the area. Is this a friendly gesture or does it mean attraction?

Las Vegas Hospitals - What Happened?

Las Vegas ranks as one of the lowest and worst healthcare providers in the nation. I read that the Las Vegas healthcare system is continually getting worse each day due to the "insider loophole". This loophole, which has caused residents waiting several hours just to be seen and has clogged up all the area emergency rooms, is from an influx of hundreds of thousands of individuals who use the E.R. to be seen but do not have to pay. The acute healthcare system is failing so bad, residents are driving to Phoenix and Los Angeles. It's just sad.

When did Henderson get so bad?

I was in Henderson in 2019. I can back again this year (2026). So much has changed; the environment, the safety, and just the people on the streets in general. It is completely different; so sad.

Low tourism affects residents.

I saw an article that the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority sounded an alarm with the city and the surrounding area that in September 2025, Las Vegas saw one of the worst city-wide tourist slump. The alarm was due to not only Las Vegas itself, but the 30% of the locals who commute to work everyday and rely on this income. When tourism is down, the whole area feels the affects.    

In response, Las Vegas created the first of its kind; the “Fabulous Five – Day Sale”, which combatted the aggressive resort fees and high sticker shock pricing from restaurants, resorts, and attractions. 

This last ditch effort and knee-jerk response was a temporary saving grace; there were over 160 specials from all the major entertainment venues. It attracted almost 4 times the tourist than from the last year. 

Unfortunately, the marketing and sales ended; leading to even a more significant drop in tourism in April 2026.

I wish something more could be done.

There used to be approximately 70 buffets in Las Vegas. With the last closure of the MGM Grand Buffet, there are now only 7.

What would cause the shutdown of almost 60 buffets?
