(Most) Women don't look at men the same way men look at women?

You see the narrowed eyes, big ears and shaved head aren’t doing it for me AT ALL. I admit the ones on the right are a bit better.

Lol.

And those are photos I picked trying not to get my post deleted.

And? That doesn't mean I can't look at bodies from a completely unbiased perspective. I don't want to sleep with every woman I see just as I don't want to sleep with every man I see.

He looks like he loves himself a bit and I'd immediately be turned off!

Its amazing what different people perceive in someone.

I think he looks modest, serious ....and everything I know about him corresponds with that.

Fucking HELL, is it possible to get pregnant from a photograph?

@StrawberryDream24 Your post is practically a public service announcement 😍

I'm bi

Exactly.

I wonder if many men have had that experience most women have had where a man talks to our boobs rather than our face?
Do any women gaze at a man’s package whilst in conversation?
I also wonder if any woman has ever received a dick pic and thought - fabulous, thank you

Or they just have very different tastes? I'm bi and he's not my type of man at all. I'd far rather a lovely Ruebenesque lady with beautiful soft skin and flowing hair. He looks like he loves himself a bit and I'd immediately be turned off!

The men I find attractive are academic sorts. Certainly fit and healthy, but none of them look like they've spent hours in a gym. And even then, I think on a completely aesthetic level, women's bodies can often be a lot more beautiful. Men's legs, for example, are often not very appealing parts of their body. Same with feet.

I'm not sure an oiled up, photoshopped, posed photoshoot of a celebrity model-type is really a good comparison for the average male women are likely to see in day to day life!

Either way, I still wouldn't be ogling anyone!

Yeah definitely, ovulation ramps up my physical appreciation of the male sex.

Also they (men) are like blood hounds for ovulation lol. Intense looks from men on the train etc., check if ovulating (was TTC) yep.

I don't know why we use ovulation tests, men are way better at detecting it.

Women are just more aesthetically pleasing 😂

I always think the women who say this are clearly not looking at the right men.

Women are not more aesthetically pleasing. Both sexes can be incredibly beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.

Ain't no woman on the planet I find more aesthetically pleasing then this guy, for example (Ruben Cortada)

Probably because they are fertile!

Thats why women over a certain age almost become invisible.

I dont know if anyone's mentioned this but I can look at men in a purely sexual way, when I'm ovulating. It's like my hormones are telling me to mate with any healthy, attractive man.
The funny thing is, I was sitting in the garden reading your post and I looked up at the neighbour's roof and there was a very hot young man up there, bare chested! I immediately though "Corr!!".
I remember another time I was ovulating and our postman walked up our steps. I was admiring his very fit, muscular body. I've known him for years and have never thought of him that way!
Whenever I get these crude sexual feelings during ovulation, I think " This is how men must feel all the time!".
Please tell me I'm not the only one.

@hellohannah

I must say, it is so funny seeing people regurgitate Freud’s incesty theories with confidence. I have a psychology degree and we always used to laugh at how obnoxious Freud is. No one paid him any mind, yet here you are quoting “according to Freud” like the bible! 😄

I don't. Don't think I've ever assessed a man as a threat unless he's actually behaving in a threatening way.

That's how it was for me.
My dad was very weak and, tbh, quite pathetic in many ways. I have always been drawn to very strong men and I look back nowadays and I think my preference is in part because I harboured quite a lot of resentment and contempt for my dad growing up and as a young woman. I didn't know quite what I wanted but I knew exactly what I didn't want

I admire men’s bodies, but am capable of doing it without slavering, wolf-whistling, shouting ‘I’d ho through you like a pound of butter’ from scaffolding, audibly giving them marks out of ten, or having my eyes go out on cartoon springs.
So what I might be thinking about a random man’s body will remain where it should remain, inside my head.

Same - unless I've got a sympathetic female friend to talk to (discretely).

I find many more men are shit at checking out the opposite sex without being really obvious about it, than women.

I dated a guy once who was utterly utterly obvious about it ... .the weird thing is he is a very straight, trustworthy guy and I honestly don't think he'd ever cheat on a partner. I think he'd end the relationship before he'd do that.

Yet he was cringe worthily obvious when checking women out and it made me glad the relationship didn't go anywhere. It's v uncomfortable. I even had the women he was checking out look at me curiously/sympathetically.
I don't know how his wife puts up with it, but I've noticed she does a lot of "my man, my amazing nan, together x years, our family" posts on Facebook.

I realised I was old when I saw a handsome, lovely young man and I thought, "I bet his mum's proud."

I can admire body and brains. Like you say, I can find someone attractive without immediately shouting sexual things at them.
What goes on in my head stays in my head. Probably just as well, it's weird in there

I find men's physiques attractive, only if they have good physique of course and you don't see many of those these days, most of them have huge pregnant stomachs and thin legs 😬

No way.. what turns me on is a guy’s intelligence definitely not his arse!

He reduces women to body parts, calls women ‘that’, shuts you down and tells you how women think. Doesn’t he sound like a catch. 🤢

he is saying many men will look at a woman and think “ cor look at the arse on that” and I agree as fundamentally males brains are hard-wired to do that.

I wouldn't want anything to do with a man who referred to women in such demeaning terms. I've never felt he need to talk about men as if they're objects, either in my own head or out loud.

I've noticed them, but certainly not ogled. I don't find anything remotely appealing about a man's cock and balls all squashed up inside his jeans. If anything, I wonder why he can't buy properly fitting trousers!

No! I sometimes would notice if they were sitting legs akimbo or in Speedos or something, but penises are not very pretty. I don't really want to look at them!

We're talking about massively different timescales though. We've found skeletons that are identical to that of a modern human that are 300,000 years old, evolutionally, we've not changed significantly in the intervening thousands and thousands of years.

Civilization has only been around for about 6000 years, and the kind of civilization where anyone in power really gave a shit about women being raped can be measured in a few hundred years at best.

As I said before, it's not a defense, or an excuse. It's the exact opposite. Ignoring that that evolutionary drive exists leads to women letting their guards down, to people believing that "My Nigel would never...."

Pretty much every single man on the planet has that little lizard brain going "Want, take, have" when it comes to sex. Every man is dangerous. The difference between a good man and a bad man is the choice he makes to ignore it.
