Miu, I hope you understand, and I think you do, I just think this thread has gotten off track - We are talking about the excessive here. You come off sometimes on here as though just a simple glance at another woman is some horrible thing, something your bf would never do. And everyone's idea of what is beautiful is something different. Your boyfriend never glances at other women? I'm not even talking about scantily clad women either. A woman that looks similar to you would not catch his eye for a moment?? and let's just say for the sake of this thread, she is in the middle of building a jet engine.

And I don't see looking at other human beings as being objectifying in any way. Again, excluding the extreme. I can admire an attractive male or female, there is nothing wrong with that. You can't say that if you passed by a Hugh Laurie or a Sean Bean look alike on the street, you wouldn't take a double look or admire them for a brief moment?

I actually work for trade shows. I promise you, I'm no tramp. You are required to wear the outfit that your agent gives you AND you are required to wear make-up and have your hair done. I’ve never had to wear anything very revealing, but I did have to wear form fitting business suits. I was not and am not a tramp. I never slept with any of the people that came to the trade shows, I don’t cheat on my husband. It’s funny that you call them tramps, they could be just like you, a devout atheist humanist. Just because they’re pretty, they wear make-up and they’re skinnier than you, does not = tramp

I really don't look at men that way and think "I'm here for sex, you'll do." I'm not into indiscriminate sexual encounters whatsoever.

I'm a Taurus and driven entirely by my senses. I probably enjoy touching more than anybody because to me, it's all about sensuality.
Also a Taurus. Same thing.

I was responding to the original poster. There's 10 pages of messages here, so no doubt I may have missed your particular point.

My apologies.

I did it when I was younger... Though, I did it because I was intimidated by the girl that I didn't want to look her in the eyes. However, looking at my feet was too far south and the chest was right there. I never stared though. I'd realize where I was looking and end up looking away from the girl entirely.

I've improved since then.

ONe man I knew who did this, told me he was fired b/c the women complained about it, and I told him, you do, and it's very uncomforable for a woman...and I don't believe you even know you do it....

it is a disgusting habit...on the part of some men, and as I said, I don't even believe they realize they are doing it????

What's your take?

I check out women ALL the time as most young straight guys do. Just like how most women (even those that could be my mother) do the same to me. Its a natural thing and I don't see anything wrong or abnormal with it. That does not necessarily mean I would jump in the sack with them or that they want to do the same with me. I guess its just how we size each other up to see who can be a potential mate.

If the dude makes you feel uncomfortable, call him out on it and if he continues anyway, drop him.

Happened to me only once, that excessive staring, but I thought it was funny rather than feeling offended. I don't really notice these things, because most of the time I'm too busy not looking at what people are looking at, because I myself am too shy to make eye contact for more than a second or so. Besides, most of the time when I know I'm being stared at, I make an even bigger effort not to look at who's staring, because that would make me even more uncomfortable. But some guys, I have to admit, have a way of making me feel flattered instead of uncomfortable with the (non-creepy) way they whistle, smile, wink or whatever they do to show appreciation. It makes me smile, because I think it's funny that I can have that effect on a guy, haha. Others definitely give me the shivers with their obnoxious staring and smiling like a sly fox...

What angered me to my core was, once as a teenager, I was just walking down a busy path in a shopping center in my home country along with my cousins, when suddenly a creep that was passing me grabbed and squeezed my breasts and then took off. I was so shocked I couldn't do anything for a few seconds. I was just frozen right there as I started shaking from anger, shock and disgust all at once. Then I let out a scream and started chasing after him, until I realized I wouldn't be able to catch up with him since he was far ahead of me. Besides, what was I going to do, beat him up? I think I would if I could get my hands on him... The bastard was laughing at me from the distance. I was really pissed off as hell! So I just yelled a few profanities, which I rarely ever do... That was enough proof that I could have strangled that guy if he hadn't ran for his life. He spoiled my evening of shopping with my cousins. We just went home. My cousins were hopping mad too. Some men are just plain creepy...

Most men are taller than women

I am 6'2 so while talking to a female that is 5'5 it might look like my eyes are staring at her breast.

In reality she just is not eye level with me
