A mental health professional should be able to give you some insight on the effect your behavior has on others.

If so that is decidedly creepy.

Voyeurism is where you look at things you shouldn't be looking at. It has nothing to do with me. Try again, armchair psychologist and profiler.

To answer your question, I simply admire their beauty.

As I've said, I've only been aware of making someone uncomfortable once, and I blushed, smiled, and stopped looking.

He tells me I have less of an impact on most people than I believe.

You guys really are somewhere out in bizarro world.

And that didn't make you second-guess this habit at all...

Apparently there are people who don't want you checking them out, regardless of how long you do it. So... why are so intent on staring at random women anyway?
I've said if it's unreasonable for someone to be bothered by being looked at for less than 3 full seconds, then I shouldn't be expected to predict ahead of time who will or will not be bothered, but should stop if I see that they are bothered.

I think people on this thread have a misconception of what I'm doing.

I think my worst tendency is to glance briefly too many times. I really don't stare unless I know they can't see me, and even that is not common for me.

You don't know what it's like to have never dated. I doubt she was more than a little uncomfortable. She shouldn't have had her shirt falling off her shoulder practically in a public library computer lab anyways

I see. It was her fault. She "made" you look. That little ****.

Davros, what would happen if you just decided not to stare at strangers anymore? How would your life be affected negatively?

None of us understands your motivation in trying to get away with staring at women as long as possible without getting caught. What IS that about? What do you gain and is it worth getting labeled a creep on occasion?

Children are lovely and interesting creatures as well. How long do you stare at them to "admire their beauty"? You could probably get away with much longer than 3 seconds since they kids are less likely to notice.

I don't think its the second that matters more than HOW and WHO is staring, that makes it more creepy than it is. Stares like you've never seen a woman before and those of appreciating beauty give off different vibes. Being attractive also helps make you less creepy than someone who is not.

BTW it's a flatter if the guy is attractive, but if his stare gets busy with every cute girl he walks pass that's desperate. Desperate is creepy, so is your habit... Have some self decipline and stop being obssessed. Nobody wants to date a guy who keeps staring at other women.
