I have read this thread a long time ago so I really don't remember the question.. but when ever I see the title I always tend to think that when some one is asking a question like this I think it's regarding the guys that are pigs. The ones that like to gawk and lust etc.
Of course a guy can look at a woman and be in awe or he may just be curious but it's the fantasizing on the spot that gets women riled up. Or it just may be that the woman is insecure that she is dreaming of this happening when in reality it isn't at all.

Just a thought.

 
Learn to live with it. Guys are nothing like girls. If we see something we like, we don't think about who we're with and forget what we're looking at. What we like we look at and admire. We may even imagine having sex with whatever girl it is. This is kind of dangerous at a young age, like myself, 20. If I see another girl I like, I'll question whether or not I'm happy with the chick I'm with.

I've never cheated on a girl or dumped a girl over another, though. I think.

 
It is normal for men to stare have wandering eyes, in my case, i am just thankful he looks ( lust looks) at other women instead of men! haha!

So a car pulled up and he looked. not a glance...no..he glanced, then looked. I turned to see what he was staring at and saw 2 chicks in the car. I was hurt for some reason. then i poped him on the shoulder and slouched down. I was so pissed, I told him to stare away and I didnt talk to him for the rest of the trip.

..It was so immature but I get jealous over petty things that dont matter but I dont get jealous when it does. Sometimes he "ooos" when a hot celeb comes on TV and I playfully make fun of him. But Sometimes it just makes me wonder if he wants to be with other girls. ::shrugs::

I don't mind it when my boyfriend looks at other girls. I figure, "Hell, he could be with those good-looking girls but he's with me and loves me". Also, he used to work at a camera store and there was never a day that passed by where he didn't get porn-ish pictures. But, most of the time, he doesn't look anyway.

 
I think it is a normal thing to look at the opposite sex. I do it all the time, as does my guy. But I am also told several times a day that he loves me, and that I am perfect, even if I think I could loose 5-10 pounds.

I don't mind him looking, as when we are alone, I know that in his eyes I am the only one for him.

 
He really doesn't do much looking, but when he does look it's pretty quick. It doesn't bother me all that much. If it didn't, I wouldn't have dragged him all the way to the local Hooters.

I remember the first time I took him there,(I like the restaurant, and I LLLOOOOVVVEEE their burgers!), and our waitress was quite the looker - and BOY did she know it! She made sure that she had her outfit on in such a way that people could literally SEE what she had, and needless to say both my husband and I were gawking! I took charge of the opportunity and used my camera phone! After the deed was done, I showed him the picture and he turned red and started laughing.

But anyway...

As far as I know, he always tells me how beautiful I am. I reply by telling him that he needs to get his eyes checked again (he wears glasses), and I remind him that I'm not exactly model material (Trust me, I'm WAAAAYYYYYYYY below average).

 
I think I'm more of the 'looker' haha! Unless Greg is really good at hiding it haha!

As long as the looking is not full out gawking then I am cool with my man taking a quick glance.. any longer and there could be a problem haha

 
Originally Posted by Lafawnduh /img/forum/go_quote.gif Well, I think that I am unattractive to him because he told me that he doesn't think I'm pretty. I found out that he thinks I'm mediocre looking, but not pretty. For a while he always would tell me he thought I was beautiful and made me feel good about myself. I later found out he never really meant it, only said it to make me feel better about myself. I know there's some physical attraction to me on his part or else he wouldn't be with me, but I still feel unattractive when he checks out girls when I'm there with him... I just wish he'd look at me the way he looks at them.
Before he told me all that, he also cheated on me for a girl he considered to be more physically attractive. He said it was an "ego boost" that she was interested in him. (Other than the fact she had bigger boobs and clearer skin, I don't think she's much prettier than me.. but whatever.)

That's why I think the way I do... it's difficult not to let that stuff affect me in some way.

Baby- my heart goes out to you, but you need to start with respecting yourself---my mom used to say "No matter how cute you are, there is someone somewhere who is sick of you." How you look matters -but it's what is inside that should count for more, so if the PHYSICAL is the basis of your relationship---- you need to re-evaluate your priorities.
And as far as this subject is concerned---

- girls are just as bad about this "checking out the field" thing and you hypocrites KNOW IT! LMFAO---- shady! You girls are just smarter than stupid boys are and don't get clocked- cuz you know men are FAR more insecure on this level and will dump you for it. So you had to get sly-er and all icognito about it. Good for you.... my people applaud you for it--- but don't make it a GUY thing at all....... it's a human thing.

 
My BF has never blatantly gawked, drooled, stared at another chick in my company. THAT would be rude and disrespectful.

But to glance or casually notice a pretty lady...yes my bf has done that before and I honestly believe most guys do. Heck, I even notice when there's an attractive girl in viewpoint. It's just something anyone would notice, I think.

I do the same (glance at good looking guys), but never oogle!

And like other ladies have mentioned...my BF knows what'll happen if he is caught *staring*...hehehe (major arm pinching!)

 
it dont bother me if my husband looks i look too but not alot if he is around he is more sensitive than me what really bothers me is guys that check me out ghawk and stare when there chick is right there im like dam dont break ur neck it really is rude

Then we are two weirdos here, because i am the same, my husband does look at other women tho, but you know, he not only looks at the pretty ones, he looks at the 'ugly' ones too and tells me, he is just a looker i guess, he did use to say stuff like "she's got a nice bum" and stuff like that, but one day i just got really tired of it and i told him that i didn't want to hear him saying stuff like that to me ever again, it's been quite a while and he doesn't do it anymore, i hope he doesn't do it ever again, i do think sometimes that it is disrespectful, but some other times i don't care. I on the other hand don't look at ANYONE in front of him, i don't know, i think it is my high sense of respect and loyalty and i don't feel comfortable doing it, i respect him and love him too much to do that kind of stuff, it's like i want people to know that i don't do it because no matter how he looks he is everything i need and always wanted, and i am happy with what i have. I don't even find other people attractive to be honest, it is a very rare thing for me to find someone else (male) attractive enough for me to look at them, most men are/look just average to me. Also, i know that if he looks at someone else, he wont go and sleep with them, he (i know) loves me, and comes home to sleep with me, and it doesn't really affect me to think he stares/looks at pretty women cause i know what i have, and i know very well i am not an ugly person. Plus, he knows very well no one else would give him what i do.

My husband is the same, he is always telling me how beautiful i am, even though sometimes i feel like an old mop, i have always tried to look good for him though, but even when i wake up in the morning and i think i look horrible he tells me i'm pretty, or even now with my extra weight, (cause im pregnant) so, i know he loves me, he says it to me all day all the time, one thing i love about him is that no matter where we are, if driving or sitting on the couch watching tv, or just lying in bed, he holds my hand all the time, i love that about him, i think it is the sweetest thing, my ex never did that, well, my ex never did a lot of things, but that is one of the many many things that make me love my husband so much, and not even care if he stares at other women at all.

You have to be to sure about yourself if you do that, mind you, i just looked at your profile picture and you have nothing to worry about, i think your bf is too busy looking at you all the time to have time to look at other women, you are really beautiful. By the way, i know you get this a lot probably, but i really like your hair too.

I dunno. I always got crap from my g/f about starring at other girls. Not in a bad way, but she just didn't understand Men are just very visually stimulated, moreso than women. That's my theory...not that I go to them much, rarely actually, but there are lots of strip clubs, and only a handful of ones for women to see naked guys, although I think those are more geared for gay guys. I'm not quite sure since I never been too one!

"my job is to check out girls" i always get a good playful bash from my girlfriend when i told her that.

yes i do check on attractive women... cant help it... but i dont fanasize about it... its more like admire and forget... as for my case the problem is not serious because she and i have trust and confidence in each other as physical beauty is only a tiny fraction in a relationship. no offence but if you think your guy checking out on girls are pigs, maybe thats because you have issues with yourself, reevaluate the situation and you might find out that you were thinking in a wrong way... unless your guy is a pig (cant keep his hankey pankey in his pants)... and there's nothing else you can do but to dump him

i asked my bf this some time ago and he said "i just want to compare you to other women, and realize that youre so much better" Im thinking "youre full of crap"

 
ladies, are you saying you don't look at other hot guys?i don't mind my hubby looking at hot girls ,i like to look at hot girls too (beside guys) ,so we both enjoy it although i'm not bisexual, the only exclusion is when he said the girl is hot when she really is not then i got upset, i mean if you gonna looak at other girl she better be hotter than me otherwise it's an insult.

 
Same reason why I check out other guys. It's human nature to notice the attractiveness of another. IMO
