How do you know they are married?
maybe he's a pimp ... and has an empty stall.
or the others are out of town buyers.
maybe they discuss fashion with their wives
or their wives are bi and they discus fine your bums
tight sweaters and bra combinations.
you just might become their next fantasy roll play night.



what are you staring at them for
or was it the wives?


your in public ... people watch.
its cheaper than going to the movies.

I do it, and my wife does it too....we don't pretend that we don't notice
and in fact, once she did pretend - the hot Italian dude passing by (her
favorite dish), I glanced at her and waited....and then the inevitable
smile from her.

Love over-takes all.....you might drive a Lamborghini, but nothing wrong with
checking out the Porsche.

People need to understand that they are not the Goddess or God of love...there's
always somebody who's hotter than you.

Why do you think the woman gave you that nasty look. She must have considered it your fault that her husband was looking at you I guess, even though it was clearly the perogative of the husband himself to look or not look, and clearly not your responsibility to prevent him from looking at you. Now that is my opinion however in another thread where I advanced the notion that it is the duty of every married person to police their own actions and not the duty of someone outside the marriage to insure that those inside the marriage adhere to their marriage vows.

When I expressed those views in the other thread I was harrased by cretins who could not accept that they themselves are responsible for maintaining their marriages, and if they fail to do that, it is their own fault, and not yours or mine. I understand why she punched her husband, but why should she have shot you a dirty look.....you did not make any vows with her, so why be mad at you.

I trust that asking this question here will not result in having the thread deleted as it did when I asked similar in the other thread, so in hopes that there are rational thinkers here who are not in denial over their own respnsibility for their failed relationships, I'll risk stating that you did not deserve that dirty look!

This might come as a huge shocking surprise, and i hope this isn't too much of an ego deflator.
It's not about blatent disrespect for there wives. It's not because you're the hottest thing since Eve, and it's not because you're ugly either.

You are simply better to look at than a lamp or a couch. No other reason.

^^^

LOL! Best response out of this whole thread, Zed. I am a people watcher, and I admit to checking out a good looking guy once in a while. I don't mind if my BF notices other women, he is human after all! But, I do think there is a difference between *looking* and *leering*. Looking is fine, leering is creepy.

you should be flattered men married or not look at you,,,, whats wrong with a married an looking if that affends any woman that just shows the none trust and insurcurety you have on your man,,,,,,, its normal for man to look at woman and woman to look at men,,, youd should worry when he looks at the same sex,,,, or ge trust and stop being insurcure

Okay...I'm not a guy, but couldn't resist the temptation to respond, lol. Lets be honest here, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I *think* a lot of the times when men do this IN FRONT of their sweety it's to get a reaction from her, and to make sure she still cares. It's kind of playing on your insecurities, and using them as a tool to see how much you care about him. I'm sure EVERY man who has been in relationships has experienced a dirty look, or some kind of a tongue lashing from doing this in the past (and almost got satisfaction out of it, lol). It's not THAT hard to control your behaviour....I'm sure the reasons men look while their g/f, or wife isn't present are totally different reasons though (it's just human nature).

I personally find it kinda funny when my boyfriend does it. I know he's aware he's doing it, because he'll look, and then look at me with this look like "ohhhh goody, what's your reaction gonna be?", and he gets this innocent puppy face with almost a little excited, or inquistive look. I NEVER react, I just start talking about something way off topic and pretend I didn't notice, don't care, or kinda just laugh it off. The best though is shortly after I will scope the room for some hottie, and then start checking him out (in a playful way)....you won't get the same response if you seem vendictive when you're doing it though. Works like a charm, and he hardly ever does it now......"uncontrollable behaviour".....my butt, lol.

Ladies and Gentleman,

I can see both sides, and have concluded that it's always better to be the subject of the stares! It's happened to me more times than I can tell you, where a guy is out with his wife, girlfriend or significant other looking in my direction...half the time I think they are in a conversation they don't want to be in. And they are looking somewhere else---to get away ;o).

On the other hand, if it were me and I was the woman whose man was checking someone else out in my company he better use good judgement. There's a big difference between a quick look of approval or appreciation and repetitive staring. Anyone with a brain knows the line, if not you should find out where the line is with your significant other---it's a respect issue.

If a HOT girl is walking by and she's got all the right curves, the last thing
we are thinking about is: "Gee, I wonder if my gf truly loves me?"
But I wouldn't put it past the insecure guys to perhaps try that childish
and indirect tactic.

That reminds me of a funny thing that happened to me when I was younger. I was walking down the street to the corner store and this guy drives by just looking me up and grinning . He had a girl in his car, don't know if she was SO. Anyway, he ends up plowing into the car in front of him that was making a turn! I couldn't help but LMAO.

I had a boyfriend who had this habit too. A nice pair of cupcakes always spun his head around. The worst time was when we went to our annual Cedar Point trip (it is a large amusement park), and I find him lecherously staring at a girl who was probably only 14 years old. Yeah she was busting out of her bikini top, but geez, no kids please! How embarassing. He was so bad I even think his tongue was hanging out lol. When I yelled at him for being so blatantly obvious, he really apologized and didn't really realize people noticed him, he just couldn't help but look. The next year I gave him a pair of sunglasses just in case

men and women who are truly enamored with their partners simply have no desire to look. they're so wrapped up with one another they don't notice outsiders in "that" way.


Uh... no.

No matter how in love I am with someone, I still notice beautiful women. I also notice strange looking women, weird looking old dudes and people with handicaps. I also notice interesting cars, artwork, tattoos.

There are many things that are visually appealing to humans. One just happens to be attractive humans.

I don't think it has a thing to do with how enamored you are of your partner.

It's cause you're hot! Wives that are all up in arms bout their man freak me right the **** out. I personally think its natural, your eyes are automatically drawn to them. LOL ,but remember he was shopping with his wife! What man truly likes to do that. He was probably bored and letting the eyes wander. I check out guys and girls, Ill nudge my ole man and say" wow look at her ass". Somethings just need to be appreciated.

I find this really disrepectful to the wife and really just kinda not very smart thinking on the man's part, obviousley there will be a price to pay if caught. So why do they do it?

You can't ask us to explain how our lizard brain functions when we can't explain it to ourselves. It is not a sign of disrespect. It is our nature. Asking us not to look is like me asking a woman to pee standing up. It can't be done. Besides, I have it on good authority that women (even women walking alongside their husbands/boyfriends) look too....they are just one 100 times more discreet.

when will women understand that we men look, peek and stare.. its in our nature..it dosent mean your ugly, we don't love you, we want to leave you.. it just means we see beauty and admire it.. thats all it is..as far as i know from talking to other guys that are older it never goes away..

I think that when this happens he is disrespecting his wife. There is a difference between a glance and staring. Everybody glances its like a reflex, something moved and you caught it out of the corner of your eye, you glance, you look and then you look away. Staring is different you, are looking at somebody for a long period of time without moving your eyes away. Boy I bet the woman who is receiving that treatment feels good. I think men that stare when they are with their wives are insecure. Maybe women should turn this around on men who stair and see the reaction they get, I bet things would change in a hurry. lol
If I were with a women who had to stair at other men when we were out, she wouldn't be with me long. I'd rather be with a woman who enriches my world not takes from it.

There is a big difference between a stare and a quick glance

I notice this a lot...and not just at me. It's rude and I think if the wives did it the guy would have something to say about it. I don't buy the crap..guys are just like that. They are not...I've also seen a lot of men who don't act like this.

Sorry, I call bull when I see it.

It's disrespectful to stare..anytime, but when you are with your wife it's just down right disgusting.
