Surely if they are happy with someone, they wouldnt feel the need to look at other women?!


This has been addressed again and again so let me frame it for you:

It's a biological instinct for men to look anything of a female gender passing them by!

There, capiche?

Having said that, don't you think there are better ways to spend your life on this planet instead of following your beloved man's gaze around? Surely there must be something interesting on TV, no?

How else can we appreciate how beautiful our lady is without comparision?

A champion Setter is just another dog until you compare it to a mongrel.

And that's not to say you have to know what makes a 'champ'.

Women check out other men just as much as men check out other women, we're probably just a little more discreet at it. Looking is healthy, it's when it goes beyond that that you need to worry. I look and have never minded my partners looking.

Its not the looking that annoys me, its the lying about it!!!

WOW!.......you have guys scared enough to lie to you about it? My gf
always looks....I look and she knows I look! I didn't lose my appreciation
of beauty when I got involved with someone.

You need to chill out and appreciate that for healthy men and women - looking
is like appreciating an art work or a red Ferrari out on the road. You wouldn't
stop staring at a Ferrari because you got yourself a Skoda would you?

1) Men are visually stimulated 2) The plethera of porn doesn't help. Porn can so easily lead us guys astray. It is unfortunate but I have "trained" myself to be more sexually turned on looking at porn than being with a real woman. If not more turned on by, certainly feeling safer with sex from this observational standpoint where I can stay far enough removed so I can get my jollies without the risk of getting rejected. Hence, staring and glancing at passing babes is even safer still but able to increase those ever lovin' endorphins of mine. For me, I would be terrified to cheat on my girlfriend and would likewise be crushed if she cheated on me. The object of "looking" is really for the endorphin rush. I have always thought/hoped that I could meet some girl who just liked to "look" with me but I have met none! All the really hot girlfriends I had were also very jealous of my, albeit "mental", harems. I am presently working on said issue and limiting/avoiding any porn altogether.

men are always going to look at women. that doesn't mean they are not happy with you. most of the time a guy will lie about looking at another woman because he doesn't want to hurt your feelings. he's not looking because he wants to be with her or she is better looking than you. he is just looking. nature of the beast. it's not a need to look at another woman. it's instinct. to ask a man to quit looking at women would be the same thing as asking them to quit breathing. he still loves you, trust me.

Why? Because they're human!?! If I'm in love or in like with a guy and I see a hot man walking down the street you're damn straight I'm gonna be looking at him. I'm not running after him pulling my pants down....just looking at him...like he's doing to her. Doesn't mean I'm not happy with the guy I'm with...I think it's human nature. Don't tell me you've never done the same to him. I wouldn't believe you if you said you hadn't.

why is it that a man cant be happy with just you? And why also do they have to lie about it, when they have been caught looking at other girls. Surely if they are happy with someone, they wouldnt feel the need to look at other women?!


In a subconscious and relatively innocent way, most men are always surveying [u]how they measure up.[/u]. Yes, it's not just about penises. But they're both related to our instinctual competitiveness as males: As a man passes a couple they stare over, thinking, "I've got THIS woman. You've got THAT woman. Who wins?"

Sometimes it happens when a woman is walking by alone? It's still surveying. "I have THIS woman. Some other man has THAT woman. Who wins?"

Like how women say to friends; "Oh my Husband is so sweet, he did this and this for me. Other men don't do that.". That must mean that you have watched what other men do for their women and are measuring it up to how yours treats you. Yes?

The men are across the street and your guy is saying, "My Wife has an ass that I could eat off. Other women don't have that."

Note: (There are no doubt a few guys that are pure filth and look at the women in order to keep a mental black book to eventually track them down at a later time... But that sounds too complicated? Yeah, I doubt it's all that common.)

i presume that you are talking about your fella?if so then the problem lies within yourself and your own insecurities,surely being on a dating site looking for male friends is worse than your fella just having a look a female passing(as men and women do this,not just men,its only natural) and because your on here looking for male friends,which you may or may not take further,you think your fella is going to be doing the same cos he as a look at a female.
dont judge him by what you do and your behaviour and insecurities
nothing personal ,just answering you question lol

I am a bubbly, caring female who is in a relationship but is not happy.

if i sound like your kind of girl contact me!

Nah....

...why are you in a relationship you're not happy with? Why not just leave? I mean, like
the previous poster said, you are LOOKING at other MEN!! Isn't this the
definition of irony? If this is why you're leaving him, dudess, you're going
to be in for a shock - WE ALL LOOK.

you mean to say you have never, EVER looked at another man whilst you have a boyfriend??????

the only issue with this is how obviously they do it, mention it, make a fuss out of it, then thats a put-down and disrespectful. But looking on its own?............come on. What, do you want? copyright on their eyeballs?

Happiness has nothing to do with it. Besides, how do you know he doesnt look and think how much better he has it with you???

This is more a self esteem thing if it really bugs you.

Maybe you haven't been following the bouncing ball. She IS looking at other
men WHILST she is currently carrying on a relationship with her boyfriend.

Read her profile.

Why can't you be happy with him looking at more than one waterfall? You won't drown. So long as he isn't trying to swim in it.

whilst you have a boyfriend


Whilst, beforest, afterst..... I'll be a leering, dirty old man until I'm a dead old man.

I actually used to have fun with it. I was sitting at dinner with my ex once and this bombshell walked in, straight from the photo shoot I might guess. She was like 5'11", long and lean, tanned, perfect hair and makeup, and she was at this average little place for dinner. And when she walked in I looked and said "Oh man. Look at THIS one now. A little overdressed for chicken paprikas, no?"

Not a thing in the world wrong with looking.

Beforest, whilst or afterst.

because they are human beings.
duh.
are you telling me that when you are "happy" with a man, you NEVER look at anyone else? we are human, and if we did'nt look, there would be something very wrong.
you, ma'am, are a very insecure woman, and you have to get over it or you're going to drive yourself insane.
both men and women check other people out constantly. whats the big deal? it does'nt matter where you get your appetite, as long as you eat at home.

Perhaps it's a learned behavior. For example, if the first time they were honest and admitted it and the result was you kicking them in the jewels really hard....they might be prone to lie the next time ?

Because they can. I have no problem with guys looking; just like I'd hope a guy wouldn't mind me looking. It's all in the way they handle it though. If they stare and get caught it's no big deal. I'd just laugh. But if he started talking about her and comparing her to me I wouldn't put up with it.

I actually had a guy ask me once if I'd mind working out to try to get an ass like Hilary Swanks'. I said sure, as long as he'd get a penis pump so that he could be more like Ron Jeremy. It ended not long after. I wonder why. :)

lol. Well, it wasn't Ron Jeremy that I wanted. It was one of his....um...attributes. :D

I was just kidding anyway. I wasn't even sleeping with him. I just thought it was really funny.
