I wanted to call the thread "staring-related faux pas" but then I realized I didn't know how to make "faux pas" plural. Anyway...

Anyone gotten into a bit of trouble for checking someone out in a way that was not so subtle? I thought I was getting too old for this (at least being so blatant, anyway), but I wound up staring at a professor in class today. She wears white shirts with sweaters, blazers, jackets, etc. over them, with the second garment unbuttoned. Well, her sweater-thing blew back a bit, and I could see her bra extremely well through the white shirt she had on under it. And I sit in the very front of the classroom, of course. For a moment, it was like no amount of willpower was going to persuade me to take my eyes off her visible bra. As she was moving her sweater back over her shirt, her eyes met mine, and I wondered if she knew I was looking at her bra/breasts. I have a bad habit of assuming that other women don't realize that's where my eyes are wandering. She didn't look pissed, so maybe she didn't really figure it out.

Anyone else wound up regretting letting their eyes wander?

Something like that has happened to me a couple of times. I was in a crowd one time and I was kinda looking slightly down toward the ground and I turned around and there was this busty woman with her boobs hanging out, as I turned, my face was right in her chest area. It was like something out of a movie, I looked up slowly and she was looking right in my eyes.

Thankfully, she flashed me a sly grin.

LOL! That probably helped you to laugh it off instead of feeling embarrassed.

I had a couple glasses of wine, so I wasn't too embarrassed.

never have, never will. i think most women like men checking them out, at least me. they sometimes smile or give me a better view (consciously or not). i love walking up the stairs (from the subway) and just watching that lady in front me. it's a daily thing for me, and most men. How could it not be? It's not like I stare a hole through them. you have to be subtle, especially if you want to catch the best views. It's not like I look at girls who have a disposition that they don't want to be looked at. I check out the girls who dress like they love the attention that i am giving them. just be confident and you'll be just fine. don't be scared, you're a Man. Check those ladies out! They love it.

It's all good, you're a human. do your thing! we are basically primal animals at our core. it's normal behavior.

I, honestly, don't mind being checked out or stared at, just as long as no comments are made... Don't call me by pet names, either. Especially when you're with your group of friends, and I'm alone. I don't know you, dude checking me out, and if I were interested, you'd know. There's only one person on the face of this earth who's allowed to call me by pet names, and he already knows who he is, and it's not you.
Otherwise, I could care less.

I'm a straight woman and check other women out all the time. Women love to be looked at - by men and women alike!
