First of all it's natural behaviour.

Second of all it is offensive behaviour, in our moral code today. A tiny amount is explainable as mere reflex, obvious oggling is a mild form of harrasment.

If this happens to you (either sex) I would -

Ignore it and revise where I was hanging out/who I was hanging out with.

At the end of the day, it's only looking. A cat can look at a Queen.

I like being looked at or stared at and I like when my SO see's it. I like that he can see that other people like my looks, too. I think he should be proud.

But SO usually pumps up, pulls the belly in and stares back to intimidate them. I think it is hilarous.

I never look back at the starer or whistler, it would be rude towards my SO.

She likes it. I like it. What's not to like? Once, a few years ago, in Switzerland at a very nice place on Laggo Maggiore, an older gentleman came up to our table at a cafe, doffed his cap and told me I was the luckiest man in the world to have such a beautiful wife. What's not to like? And besides, I agree.

It's to say, don't get mad if someone does, that's all. Lots of Hispanic men, for example freak out when another guy looks at their woman.

My husband has no problem with other men looking at me or complimenting me. I do notice that he sometimes reaches out and draws me to himself when I'm getting a lot of looks.

I don't mind if women look at my husband, but I don't like it when they start acting interested in him right in front of me. Women are funny that way. Whereas a man will back off if he sees that you're with your husband, women will sometimes ignore you, trying to get your husband's man's attention while you're standing right next to him. I hate that.

Men literally circle around my fiance like sharks seeming oblivious to the fact I'm with her. Keep in mind I'm fit and obviously taking care of myself should the need arise. They seem to be in some kind of trance and if they see that I've caught them, they avert they're eyes and slink away. I don't like it but understand they likethe same thing I like, so I give them a pass. If one of them made a move on her, or was otherwise rude, I'd have a big problem with that. So would he. Fortunately, this hasn't happened. She isn't flirty in the least (with strangers), she's just got a amazing figure. She tells me I shouldn't mind, because I'm the one taking her home. I see her point and in a way, she's right.
