so my bf was telling me how he and his friend lost track of conversation when there's a hot girl passing by. then he went ahead and said" that's how we men are, you have to realize men will always be attracted to other women, you need to get over it."

is he being honest or being disrespectiful for telling me that in my face?

It's true. Not sure how much I would like my guy pointing it out to me too often though.

Peh. He's a jerk. Nice of him to try to rationalize and defend instead of just apologize, too.

EVERYone has eyes and can appreciate beauty in another person- not just men. But not everyone is so tactless and disrespectful about it.

He's being both honest and disrespectful. What you have to look at is why would he tell you this? He's putting you down. I'd leave a guy who said this crap to me. Ugh. Especially the, 'get over it' part. I mean, really????
Go get 'em tiger and adios!

"well, have at it" would have been my answer ... as he watched me walk away never to return... yes men are visual creatures... yes they still look (so do I by the way LOL) but I certainly wouldn't make it obvious and tell them to "get over it"... GEEZ.. respect is something that is a must in a relationship.. without it ... just not worth your time.... They don't deserve you

Chances are he is doing more than just looking

I think he's being both honest and disrespectful. A good rule of thumb is that when someone tells you something about themselves that you don't want to hear, assume they're telling the truth. There's a motivation for lying in a positive way. They get nothing good out of lying about being bad when they're good.

So your BF has given you a huge sign that he disrespects you, he's always going to be checking out women and he doesn't really give a flip how you feel about it. If he's brazen enough to do that now, imagine what he'll do if you were tied to him with a marriage and kids.

I'd throw this one back. Not a good investment.

I think it is safe to assume that just because a male is in a relationship that they don't go blind.....but usually they at least PRETEND to for relationship sake.

I can agree with being appreciative of beautiful woman....but not attracted....especially when he's already in a relationship with an attractive women....He's wrong, and he speaks for himself only.
