Guys! This is one of those age old complaints by women, but if they were even close to being honest, which is inherantly impossible for them, they'd admit they do most of the "checking"
I think the women agree that checking is ok. It is staring at certain body part especially while you are engaged in conversation that we complain about.

Want another helpful hint? Keep your shoes clean. Women could tell you how many laces you have after looking you up and down for 5 seconds. There's truth to that old saying about their memories being loooooong.

My memory is long, but I don't care what the guy has going on on his feet. Pink runners? NO PROB!

Once I've checked out his eyes, smile, hair, shoulders, arms, chest, abs ... I have great trouble getting past the groin area ... but if he has nice legs ... oh la la ...

I'm guilty, guilty, guilty. I absolutely ADORE looking at men.

That is the problem! Men stare directly. Women watch things they don't want you to know they are watching subtly. How do you figure this out? By a quick jerky motion near what you suspect is being observed, they'll suddenly be forced to focus right there. I'm telling you, we're the prey, they're the predators! What's the best way to get prey? Convince them you're not, that you're in fact weak.

I do stare directly. I'm not subtle at all. Men know I'm checking them out. I'm highly overt because I like to get my point across as simply and quickly as possible.

It's the women that aren't staring directly that you have to worry about ... it's like a covert military operation for these chicks

Yes, men. You are my prey And I absolutely love vulnerable men -- brings out all the luv in me

That's the new found "cougar" the one who doesn't want to wait to play the glance game, bow head and look back. Doesn't want to waste time exsposing neck, lifting hair, exsposing wrist, or touching. "I'm here for sex, you'll do"

Not necessarily. That depends on who is doing the looking. You're talking about flirting, and that's something completely different. I'm talking about checking a guy out on the street, the mall ... not where there is any chance for me and him to potentially have any intimacy.

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.

He doesn't have me fooled or trained. My boyfriend knows that it would be alright to look, since he never acts like he's got a straying eye. But he's really a one woman at a time man. And my BIL and my stepdad are the same way. But they are also the type of men that really want a s/o that is a quality person inside. They see no point in checking out other women within their field of vision as it's just a waste of brain activity. They also aren't into porn either. After their teenage years, they just wanted only to be with one woman at a time, and one that was most than just a looker, a trophy, but a woman that was smart and a well matched companion for them.

After all, what's the point in checking out any attractive woman walking by? Do you really think that because she's pretty that she's better in bed than your wife or girlfriend? My boyfriend isn't interested in fantasizing about sex with movie stars or pin up girls or other strangers. He really enjoys making love to me, someone that he's comfortable with, trusts, feels clean with, and who loves him back. There's a lot of physical afffection expressed in our bedroom that doesn't lead up to sex. We can also cuddle and talk for an hour before we go to sleep, and still no sex. We really enjoy interacting on more than just a one dimensional sexual level between our bodies, but take it beyond to basically brain sex. We could be just fine, just the two of us on this planet.

In addition, my boyfriend is turned off by women who are too skinny, wear too much makeup, perfume, dressed too high maintenance, who constantly talk on cellphones or drive and act stupidly. And he would never speculate on any woman that was in a relationship. By the time you get down his really long list of things he doesn't want in his women, there really isn't anyone left for him to look at except me.... and one of his customers who is an airline pilot, but she's too skinny and she's got a boyfriend. What impresses my boyfriend is if a woman is smart, intellectual and with a sincere smile. So unless he is really able to interact with her, if he can't tell that she's a geek, then he's not going to bother looking. Plus it's not like your average hottie is that rare to find, and after you've seen a few pairs of naked breasts or gone to the beach and seen a bunch of toned young bodies, you've really seen them all. I really don't understand this apparent male need to see dozens or hundreds of different female bodies in varying stages of undress. It's just objectifying the female body, and not in a good way imo. Enjoy each woman as a whole person for both her inner and outer qualities, but don't just stare at her packaging because that's demeaning to us and implying that we're only valuable to you men on a sexual level.

And when my boyfriend is browsing on the internet, what really gets him excited is when he comes across pictures of racing engine builds and anything else related to his motorsports hobbies. He just showed me pictures of a motorcycle manufacturers trade show, he was all pumped up about some of the bikes, but completely scrolled past the models in their skimpy outfits... too skinny and too much makeup, plus them looking like tramps. He's just not into women like that.
