i'm a fairly meek predator.

safe to say - i just dont get stared at.

I believe all humans were more in touch with these types of feelings 1000's of years ago. But since we no longer need to know if we're being stalked for prey, gradually we are losing this '6th' sense. The tsunami that recently killed 100,000 people, for example, killed zero wild animals at Yala National Park in Sri Lanka(not counting fish or small animals). Somehow all these animals were able to take cues from nature, and head for higher ground.

I think this sense is not supernatural, instead it's your 5 normal senses picking up cues around you. Your inner ear can pick up on slight pressure changes in a room, wich allows us to tell if someone has entered, or has begun an activity. When someone stops talking behind you, or you hear your name said in conversation, it may be a stretch but I believe even pheromones have something to do with it.

How many times have we tried to get somone to notice us staring at them?

I think it has to do with how sharp your senses are. Ask yourself, what are we doing when we stare? Is it a case of daydreaming/ zoning out, or is it studying or familiarising ourselves with the other persons mannerisms, so we can size them up to what we believe the type of person they are? I like to watch people and how they behave so i can try and figure out who they are. Call it a little game that i play.

Really good points, i agree! I guess staring at a person depends on whether you like doing it. I'll admit, i was taught that staring at people is rude. I am quite aware if i happen to do it. For me it is more about studying and sussing people out.
