Okay. Just further demonstrates my point that you're in an environment that is just begging patrons to objectify the women around them. That's why you're seeing so much of it.

If I'm out with the guys I'll Ogle, albeit discretely. If I'm on a date, I'm interested in my date and not some random woman passing by. It's not like your going to be going home with the random woman?

The bigger issue is if your female date is Ogling other females

I think staring at other women in the presence of a partner is disrespectful. However, I have heard many debates among women in which the sides are pretty evenly divided. Some women just attribute it to "maleness", while others are deeply hurt.

It's amazing how many men think they're doing it 'discretely' just because people haven't called them out on it.
I have a male friend that thinks he only looks at my boobs 'discretely' and was so proud of himself for it until I started calling him out EVERY TIME.

Turns out, he wasn't as discrete as he though, I was just ignoring it.

However, I hear women saying they will do this, or their men saying that their women point out women for them to look at. And if you think ANY..ANY..woman TRULY in her heart LIKES that sh&t, you are out of your mind.

I believe some women put up with this because they know men are the ones who usually have the bad habit of doing that. So they either try to just play along like its okay, or point out the women first. It's like they feel it's something they have to put up with, or should put up with or else they will be seen as "bitc*ing". It's just demeaning to a woman to have her partner do that in front of her, and it shows a total lack of respect and ignorance on the guy's part. And don't ANYONE tell me it doesnt show disrespect, because YES THE H*LL IT DOES!!

You cant keep from oogling anything with a da-mn va-gina when you are out with your wife/girlfriend? Really..it's THAT hard to do??? Seems like it's only that hard to do for more MEN as opposed to women.
Sit here and laugh and joke about it all you want, but it shows a total lack of class. Any woman that puts up with that is a fool. I would NEVER do that to my man, and I would NEVER accept him doing that to me. I swear, consideration, morals, respect..whatever you want to call it..has just fallen by the wayside as time goes on.
Not only do I not know any men that would point out hot guys to the woman that they are with, but if they even thought she was looking at someone else, she'd probably never hear the end of it.

Yet some of these guys - you'd think that they had never seen a woman before, or they've never heard of something called peripheral vision. Yeah, we get it...red-blooded male, heterosexual, blah blah blah. I don't appreciate being in the precarious position of either putting up with it or looking like a b*tch if I say something. Good times.

When I'm with a guy, I don't treat him like my BFF and giggle over hot guys with him. By the same token, I would appreciate if he didn't treat me like one of his boys and eye-rape strange women in my presence.

I guess every woman with a boyfriend needs to avoid NYC nightlife.


Or find a man who can keep his mouth closed around attractive females.

I'm not talking about a guy casually looking at an attractive girl walking by him when he's talking to another girl, I've noticed (especially at my places of employment), guys whose heads literally whip all the way around with prolonged stares. Meanwhile the girl's body is turned towards him and it looks like she's deep into whatever she's talking about.

I saw a guy do this yesterday at my bar and the girl he was with noted it, waited for him to finish staring and returned to the conversation.

I'd want to smack the bejesus out of a man who embarrassed me like that...
I'm not buying it. You need more people.
