This happens when I walk past some dudes to class... And especially happens at the gym.
Usually if I catch myself staring at someone, I try to break it immediately before they look b/c it's rude. When I catch someone looking at me I look away b/c I think they're insecure and read some shit online about being alpha male.
I just Googled around and apparently this is how humans show dominance? Da fuark? Really? So I should stare these dudes down?

Animal species have ways of proving who is the alpha male. Humans are no different. We don't bash antlers or swing clubs, we determine masculine superiority with nothing else but a gaze.
Think about it. This has been occurring all your life. Two men stare at each other and the one who breaks the gaze is the weaker. The man who forces the other to look away is the alpha.
It's not a sign of physical strength, it is a sign of who has the stronger personality and who carries themselves with more bravado and who is dominant within that social situation.
It is very intimidating to try and stare down someone who is more manly than you. But nothing is easier than staring down someone who you know is inferior.
You can improve your sense of masculinity by consciously holding your gaze with other men. Force them to look away. If they make you look away then don't worry. They are more man than you. But you can work on it gradually on people equal or slightly higher than you.
The more people you stare down the more manly you will feel. And the more manly you feel the more people you will be able to stare down. Turn it into a positive cycle. Practice walking into a room and slowly surveying it maintaining eye contact with those who dare meet your gaze.
EDIT: And then I read an article that says this and it makes me feel like the below is right.

Hold Eye contact- This is like when bulls lock horns. Hold eye contact until the other person looks down. The only exception is that you shouldn’t stare so long that it becomes awkward. You KNOW your Alpha, so if someone is staring you down, they’re probably just insecure and are trying to forcefully assert their dominance over you. As long as you YOURSELF don’t let your mind be mentally dominated by the other person, they will NOT gain dominance. Always remember that you’re Alpha
IDK... I feel like it's always the insecure ones trying to stare down. I know lots of people who are on steroids do stare downs, and the reason they are on steroids is b/c they are insecure.
