Not surprisingly, most women don't know that is is absolutely true. You must have a good male friend who clued you into this. Oh yeah, all men are guilty of this behavior.
When a man goes into any public setting where there are women (and if he's gay, where there are men), be it the subway, a restaurant, a bar, the library or his office, the first thing he does is look at each woman present and decide whether or not he would do it with (or to) them. Once this is determined he further filters those he would do it with into an order of preference based on body type, face, boobs, butt, personality, etc.
It must have something to do with evolution or maybe we are just pigs.
Wow. Well thats great. Maybe I should'nt be in a relationship if guys are that bad.
i'm a woman and i do that too, just not EVERYWHERE and ALL THE TIME lololol
I'm a woman and I do it all the time, everywhere. It's just human nature.
I'm a woman and this is definitely one of my favorite things to do no matter where I am
It ain't "MEN" it's "HUMANS"... nature of the beast.
I am another woman who does this. Sometimes men sound so smug about being pigs -- like they honestly think we're not doing this too.
It's kind of adorable, right? I think it must come from being "in charge" for so many years. ;) Yes, dudes, we check you out too. It's called sexual selection and everyone does it.
yah, we do it toooo ladies. I think guys are pigs for looking at us like we're a commodity to be had, but when is the last time you went to a seminar or lunch place for that matter, and saw a table of hot guys or dorks and DIDN'T evaluate them as such.
We are awesome (or suck) too.
yea, this goes both ways. Survey the guys and filter them big time.
EVERY person does this. If we are aware of it or not is another story. I think the reason we do this (having a boyfriend/girlfriend or not) is for the primal basic instict of the gene pool called reproduction. Simply we are doing what our base instinct says and that's to find the most attractive or strongest males/females in the bunch. After all back in the cave dwelling days we didn't have our coffee stands or our fast foods, back then we had to depend on having good survival genes, like strength, to keep the human race alive. Thus the reason we scan a room filled with people looking at who would have the best genes. Let's face it just because we live in a world where things are pretty much just a short drive or arms length away doesn't mean our basic instincts fade overnight.
Sometimes people are highly aware of this fact of looking and can judge who they would try dating and would leave alone, having someone romantic or not already doesn't matter to the basic instinct. Simply put it goes back to the start where quite possibly we'd have to keep our options slightly open in case our mate died for some reason. Sure some species may mate for life but I have a feeling back in the good ol days of dragging your meals home our species was hardwired and programmed to do what is needed for species survival. How else can we explain divorces, geting remarried and even having a few kids possibly by other people?
Also Niki88 what do you expect to happen when you start dating a person? have blinders on? Then when you decide to marry gouge the eyes out of eachothers heads? Sorry nope that won't work. If you can be aware that yes guys will look and accept it you'll be way better off. Even if you switch to dating girls same thing would happen. People look end of story. It's what they'd try to do that would be better to question. looking= ok, going up and flirting while an on outting with you= something to say hey stop or leave them
