karenR answered Thursday November 30 2006, 6:42 pm: I don't think you should worry about it to much.
I do think most guys do it. I have been married for 31 years to a guy who does it all the time and he hasn't gone anywhere. Hes an awful flirt too. He doesn't care if I'm standing right there. I just roll my eyes at whoever he flirts with in a "see what I have to live with" manner and shake my head.
He isn't looking for anyone better, he's just looking. Do like I do. Start pointing them out to him. "look, there's one for ya". Of course I always pick the ones that make him cringe. :)
Honestly, I don't think you have a thing to worry about. If he was doing it behind your back it would be one thing. Hes not hiding it. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Erronius answered Thursday November 30 2006, 1:18 pm: Lots of people do this, I know men and women that are always rubbernecking when someone walks by. I try to keep myself somewhat in check, but even I have to admit that on occasion someone walks by and I cannot help but thinking "Wow, she's really cute".
That doesn't mean I want to go hook up, all it means is...well...she's cute - it doesn't mean there is a sexual component to it. There's tons of cute women out there, and I hope you won't be stressing every time your man looks or you'll be stressing out a lot. However, if this bothers you, then feel free to tell him that it does. He can either try to stop, or at least try to not be so obvious about it. I myself don't when I'm with a woman, thats a bit rude imo, and just asking to either get slapped, or left at the dinner table alone. Hell, even when I'm with friends I try not to do it (staring that is), a glance is enough - my feeling is that many women get creeped out when men leer at them, and I try not to be a dirtbag lol. Just talk to your BF, and try to work something out. If he's worth keeping, he'll try for your sake at least. [ Erronius's advice column | Ask Erronius A Question ]
clarayow answered Thursday November 30 2006, 1:10 pm: I'm not a guy. But if I were you, I'd try to turn it around to imagine myself in that situation. What is running thru your mind when you check guys out on the street?
I know of guys who do that even in front of their gfs. Most of them just like to check girls out just for the fun of it. That's all. If you arent very secure bout it, why not you talk to him bout it? And then you observe and see how honest is his opinion. [ clarayow's advice column | Ask clarayow A Question ]

MikeCFT answered Thursday November 30 2006, 11:28 am: He's human isn't he? I can see if it bugs you if he makes it so very obvious while he's in front of you, but if you just glance in his direction and he's just checking a girl out and trying to hide it from you then smack him on the back of the head and tell him don't do it lol.
Alin75 answered Thursday November 30 2006, 9:19 am: That in itself means nothing. Most guys (including myself) do this subconsciously.
You know how you hear that guys think about sex all the time? Well, I never agreed with that, because most of the time if we are checking out someone, we arent thinking anything at all.
Women tend to put a lot more emphasis on these small things, but to a guy they carry no relevance. So, he is not trying to hurt you, he is not comparing you to anyone else, he isnt looking for a girl, he probably isnt even thinking about sex. He is just looking.
