Do men stare more?...or are women more descreet when staring at someone attractive?

Re: Do men stare more?...or are women more descreet when staring at someone attractiv

Well from my experience I notice my male friends stare A LOT. It's completely obvious, and whenever a pretty girl goes by the all share a look with which they decide if they approve or not.
I also stare, but I try (unsuccessfully) to be discreet. I get caught most of the time though..
As for my female friends, they usually notice guys coming, but after saying what they think of him they rarely look again. It's as if they take in all the need with one glance. :S

Anyway just my view.

Eye fucking. Not flattering.

Men are encouraged to be overly sexual. Women are supposed to be objects, and mustn't be obvious. Of course, nobody should ogle. It makes people uncomfortable.

I have some female friends that I can immediatly tell if they are checking a guy/girl out. Girls are really discreet when it comes to looking. Often I see them look around but act as if they are trying to form a thought or recall something.

When I check people out, I try to be discreet. Sometimes it works, like if I'm sitting down and stare into space. But if I'm standing or walking around... well it'd be easier to just have a giant neon arrow above me saying "I'm checking you out honhonhon". OTZ

Yes, men stare a lot more or look longer. It's part of their predatory nature. LOL.

Women look, albeit more slyly, but don't want to get caught looking. If they are "caught," they look away quickly.

The whole thing is such a weird game. Most straight guys stroke some women's egos, with little in return. Time to widen the playing field, boys!

I wouldn't challenge the statement that men stare more.

Personally though, I really try and keep a low profile! Even if there's someone I'm looking at, I will try my best to keep it stealthy and to a minimum. If they see me looking, well usually I can't bring myself to look their way again for another 5-10 mins at least. Ogling is rather unsettling (though flattering in a way), so I think just keeping a low profile is the polite thing to do.

Staring is rude but "enjoying the view" i won't regret. Yes, guys do it more. Yes, I've been caught. Oh well! Just be flattered if anyone finds you worth starting at, as long as they don't start with the crass jokes, finger pointing, wolf whistling etc. If you don't want to be looked at, dress as a slob, shower infrequently, don't go out, mission accomplished.

Huh in my experience it's always been the women I've noticed staring and looking at others more often, not men.

Of course women look too, we just do not generally stare. Men can be discreit too though.

This. In all honesty, from what I've observed, the guys who stare are almost always regarded as perverts and rapists, but the women who stare? That's A-okay. I just don't get it.

Agreed.

Sexist culture.
