Nothing wrong with having a look.

Are you kidding me? If you are a creative, like a graphic designer, photographer, writer or even a journalist, that's even part of your job! My God! Calm down...!

I dunno...
When I was a very young woman it sorta creeped me out to notice some guy who looked old enough to be my dad was ogling me and my friends. Seemed kinda pervy.
Now that I'm old-er I have a different perspective on it.

Are you applying this statement to women as well as cars?

On posts like this one, I get the idea that the original poster thinks that someone in their forties is OLD. Too old to be attracted by a beautiful man or woman. Notice that I said, "by", not "To."

My husband, who is in his eighties, says that if a man, of any age, doesn't look and think, then there is something wrong with the guy. It's part of a human's nature to admire others.

Sounds blue collar to me - very blue.

Such activity could lead to suspension from many white collar places - lawsuits are very costly - they take few such risks. Even if it didn't result in this, its certainly a career limiting activity.

Of course they can always take the Jimmy Carter approach - "lust in my heart" - the white collar cop out. Wear mirror sun glasses.

To look at a woman walking by is normal but to make a habit out of doing it shows his immaturity.

Why do women care about this?
Thats diffrent. She`s being paranoid. She was wanting you to be all over her, not someone else, apparently. BF, or not.

Good point.
I was wondering if this was what the OP was trying to convey?

There is a huge difference between being out to lunch with guys (or girls ) and noticing when an exceptionally good looking member of the opposite (or same ) sex walks by....and planting your self in a spot specifically to ogle/leer or, worse yet, comment, on everyone who walks past. Ick. Creepy and juvenile indeed.

Thank you...I don't think I explained myself very well in my original post...
