People will always admire the sex they fancy... It's part of our nature, it's an involuntary thing.

However, if it is upsetting you, I can understand why in certain circumstances - especially, if you're with someone and they are particularly tactless, i.e. slobbering over someone and you're sitting there, witnessing it...

A sneaky peak is allowed, I think... I used to find it quite cute when some of my ex's would glance at other women - if I caught them, they would get this look of mischief on their face! Which in turn is quite sexy.

... Like, it just makes my brain go "ding ding ding I agree!", or something. Yeah, just have to say thumbs up for being easy going. Stressing over minor things is not attractive in the least.

I think I need bed. Or food.


Food, always food. Sleep is for the weak!

I like easygoing people to an extent.. but anger and passion is far more attractive in men I must say... strange eh :p:

Indeed; or maybe your guy is one that is chilled with most things and has :mad: for things that are important to him. The whole looking at the other sex thing is minor; a secure guy would be alright with it because at the end of the day he's the one with you. Or something.

Fiid it is then :yy: blah, all manner of spelling mistakes, I need energy.

When you are with him, point to other women and say 'I'd tap that' really loudly and you will be a godess to him!

I like men who are quite dominating and up for a bit of a battle of wills in an arguement not one who ends up just saying 'whatever, let's forget about it' Or something a bit too laid back.

There's a time for being chilled and a time to show me who's boss. :p:

Shame. I'm the type that'll go "each to their own, but I think..." and then go on and on like a white van man (albeit armed with some brains). I'm fine with however people want to be, if people are fine with how I want to be. So I'm fine with the woman looking at guys if I won't cop it for looking at girls. (Note the lame attempts at keeping on topic).

I don't think it's a lot to expect of your boyfriend for him to refrain from 'checking out' other girls when he's with you.

If they happen to wander into his line of vision, then I suppose it's ok. :p: But to deliberate look at someone with thoughts about her being attractive when he's with his girlfriend I think is wrong. There's no need for it, it's just curteous. I wouldn't do it, there's no point if there's a risk of making your partner feel uncomfortable/ insecure/ jealous.

But every couple is different and it's not really a huge crime so I see how it wouldn't bother some people.

...when they have girlfriends? even the most stunning girlfriends they could possibly have? does it mean anything at all? :frown:


As I'm sure people have pointed out, it's not just men/boys! Girls do it too; I know I do. It's harmless and it really doesn't mean they're going to suddenly up and leave you for a girl they've just seen walk past in the street. But if your boyfriend is doing it in a really embarassingly obvious way, that's not really acceptable...ask him to do it a bit more subtly at least!

Quite frankly, if somebody was watching me so hard all the time to notice my line of vision, it's obvious they'd have issues of their own.

If you see a nice girl it's almost instinctive to look at her, I feel.

I see men looking at me when they're with their girlfriends/wives/kids and y'know I don't think "oh his poor wife he mustn't love her," or "that's so disrespectful"

I usually appreciate that it happens and often just think ''poor man, in his dreams'' :p:

It just wouldn't work very well if either partner was stressing about it, people need to relax...


of course they should nothing wrong what so ever at looking most people like to feel special when someone lokes the look of them..:smile:

Eh they're men. And women do it too. If it's a good relationship they won't act on it.

It's like asking, if you owned the Mona Lisa, would you never look at another picture again?

Not really, you might just notice whatever it is that the person you're with is looking at, be it a boyfriend, friend, victim, whatever. :confused:

Fair enough everybody looks - but my boyfriend's best friend angers me so much as we will go out and his mate looks at other girls and makes comments. Even if his girlfriend goes to the loo he makes comments about what he wants to do with these females! If it was a glance or two then whatever but constant staring the whole night while we are trying to have conversation is damn rude. He shocks me as these girls ain't all that hot - funny how people's opinions differ!

Yes, that kind of excessive looking is annoying. My best mate's boyfriend and my boyfriend's best mate does this. It not only annoys me but my boyfriend too. Making loud comments is just disrespectful. If he has to, he should keep it for when there are not ladies present :rolleyes:
