My best friend is a guy, and he has a long-term girlfriend. He is constantly talking about how hot other women are, whether he's with her at the time or not. He does this at least once a day, often more. He's always done this, even before he was in a relationship. He's 28 now, and I thought maybe it was more of a teenage thing that he'd eventually grow out of, but it hasn't changed. I have plenty of male friends and no one else vocalizes how hot they think women are on a regular basis like this.

I've actually asked him about it, and he said he just likes to appreciate beautiful, hot women. I appreciate beautiful people too, but I don't find the need to constantly vocalize it.

What are your thoughts on this?

No biggie. I know tons of guys like this, my best friends are like this. I'm like it to an extent. Heck even my girlfriend is like that. Constantly at the gym she will say "oh my god did you see how nice that girls butt was and how small her waist was?" or various other things like that. I don't typically tell her these things out of politeness, but she knows I'm fond of Nelly Furtado the way she's fond of Jason Statham, and I'm all right with that..

My friends and I are regularly talking about and tagging each other in pictures of girls on instagram and such.

does it really make a difference if he vocalizes it or just thinks it???? cuz he will always be thinking it. what about if he got a subscription of playboy magazine, or if he was privately into online porn?

as long as a guy's pecker works, he is going to observe hot women he wants to bang. he will learn when to keep it in check, but that is not going to change who he is.

sometimes i think it bugs women when guys comment on how attractive other women are, just raises the woman's insecurities and lack, self esteem, or confidence in their body i'm sure. is it the guys fault????

If he's doing this in front of his gf he's a jerk. It's pretty disrespectful.
(Unless he's doing it with his gf and they go that way)

Away from the GF or thinking it, well, sheesh, whatever...

Well, if he is only a good friend and there is no romantic attraction or intimacy going on between you, why do you care if or how often he admires others?

I would be a hypocrite if I were to criticise as I do it myself. Not as much when with my SO. More usually with male friends. And its not over the top.
No big deal IMO under those circumstances.

If he's doing it in front of his SO and she has a problem with it, thats a different story altogether.
And you said he does it constantly, which is the problem. Everything in moderation.

BTW OP whats with your user name?

if a lady is constantly telling me how other guys are so attractive....it wouldnt take long before i say " since you feel the need to keep saying this, then go to the other attractive guys- im gone, lifes too short to be feeding squirrels"

the other reason this guy could be saying this,, (unless he 's just a dickweed) is he's sending his woman a message,,,that she better lose some weight or not let herself go..
