i find it as a disrespectful act by a guy if he keeps on looking on girls even while with his partner. i'm always annoyed by my boyfriend everytime i caught him staring to other girls. i confront him instantly and he still have the guts to deny it which only makes me more angry.. i remember a christian pastor once said that a girl should breakup with a guy who can't prevent his eyes from lokking to other girls. it is very irrespectful and inconsiderate.. what do you think? is it just normal for guys to be like that as what my bf is claiming or i should get mad to my boyfriend evrytime i will catch him looking to other girls?

dont act like you dont look at other guys that look good even on TV ya know. Its natural God gave us eyes to look. I know where you are coming from a lot of guys check out my girl. I used to get jealous but now it makes me feel good because she pleasing to the eye. When she looks at guys i dont get mad about the wondering eye because at the end of the night she coming home with me. People are going to be people just dont stare thats inconsiderate espesialy when your'e having a conversation

While primal attraction is a normal thing, it is the reaction that determines the harm. Where the eyes are straying, the body is tempted to follow. Men in general need to respect the women they claim to love, and they should make the effort to forgo the urges of the flesh to remain totally faithful to their significant others. I cannot judge your specific situation, but it sounds like this is a seed to what may become the deathknell to your relationship. Your boyfriend, whether or not he has actually acted on his urges to stray, has fidelity issues. Real or percieved, your assertion that he cannot turn away from a pretty girl shows there is a real issue of trust in the relationship. I suggest that you see the movie "Fireproof." Admittedly, it is a bit preachy, and the acting is definitely not worthy of an Oscar. However, the message of true love and fidelity will either bring you two closer, or it will drive your relationship to its end. Either way, it would put you in a better situation. I'll say a prayer that you find peace in this situation.

hello there! i'm also wondering the same thing..maybe because boys are boys or maybe because they are more appreciative to beauty or arts or what???!! well, i don't buy it if they say it's just an appreciation of art because women have the skill too but the fact that they're doing it in the presence of their partner, surely it hits bulls eye the ego of their partner!

Sure it is normal. BUT, that doesn't mean that he should openly stare at another woman. My husband is very respectfull to me in the fact that if there is a "girl" who is wearing a little less then she should be, he will look away. If there is something that comes on T.V. and is the same way, he will turn away from it. I believe that it is natural for a guy to look, otherwise he wouldn't be human, but your guy should respect you enough, that if he knows that this bothers you, he should not openly stare at the "girl". It can also be a sign of maturity. If you are in a loving, faithful relationship, it shouldn't be an issue.

The fact is men have been doing this since the day dawn came. It's your own insecurities that are giving you signals of mistrust. Remember who he is with YOU, you don't own this man, or control his thoughts and if looking at women pleases him I think that I can say he's a pretty honest heterosexual. You can not control and dominate your partner. Enjoy the fact that he enjoys looking at women, as the end of the day he's not sleeping with them or flerting with them he is just looking. Where do you want him to look at the ground like a puppy dog, serving only you? Get in the real world and have faith that your partner is faithful to you and remember when he's looking at other women he is with YOU......not them, he's just looking like all men do. Appreciate the beauty of other women yourself, don't feel threatened it will certainly be the end of your relationship if you can't find some confidence in yourself. Be pround of who you are and aprriciate the fact that this man is with YOU....

It is normal for guys to be like that as long as he is telling the truth to his gf or his wife, if not, then he is most likely a liar and shouldn't stay with him. Remember, couples or singles who have relationship must be shared and honest with each other through good and bad times even bad habits so that both of you know how to deal with the problems. Like before, there was a guy who told me that he loves looking to the girls, he told me because he doesn't want to live a lie to me... Take note, I don't have boyfriend, we just started as friendship. but I am not interested in him even though he insisted me do so. Finally, he gave up himself.
