Why Do Girls Get Mad At Us When We Look At Other Girls?

I have a girlfriend and this is probably the only problem we have. I see i nice looking girl I'm going to look at her, and check her out. Girls do the same thing. They see a dude walking down the street who is really big, and muscular they stare at him. So why do they get on us, when we look. We're doing the same thing that their doing. I keep telling my girl that. She always says "Oh that's different". Really? how?

Hello, I for one don't make it obvious when I see a good looking guy.The only guy I stared at was this young guy I saw in San Diego,he had long blond hair. He looked like a model. My b/f at the time was back home in Seattle so he didn't see me stare. My b/f now has long black hair. I don't care if other females stare at him because he comes home to me.Just try not to make it obvious your're looking at another female.

Lol, this question always makes me laugh when I hear it being asked. I agree a little with your girlfirend in that it is different, in SOME cases because at times girls are more respectful about it then men are. I've been with my husband going on 12 years now and have never really had a problem with it because he's never given me reason to get so upset about it. It's one thing to look and another to stare the girl up and down "lustfully" right in front of your girl. Now speaking for myself as the kind of woman I am, if I see a nice looking guy walking by I am not going to stare at him. I'm happy with my husband and don't feel as though I need to stare at another guy. As handsome as that guy may be my husband is handsome enough to me that I don't need to stare at another man. It would also be so disrespectful to my husband to just stare at someone else. I believe it's all about the person and how much they respect their girlfriend or spouse. Now when you say, " I see a nice looking girl I'm going to look at her, and check her out." What exactly do you mean? No wonder your girlfriend's getting mad, lol. How would you feel if you were walking somewhere with your girl and a guy walked passed you both and she started to stare him up and down? I'm sure you wouldn't be too happy now.

hi bigmal12 you guys just dont get it. If you want us to be your wives or girlfriends we want to think we are your choice, not just another pieceof cake so to speak.look you cannot have your cake and eat it too because you picked us out and we want to think that you think we are your only one,not just one of a dozen . we are humans not collectors items.If we even admire another guy we dont go on and on about it like some guys do. We figure if you cannot even be faithful as a boy friend then you wont be faithful married either. So either be true to your girlfriend or dump her so you can spend oodles of time checking out all the aspects of all the pretty girls you meet.it is not the same at all when we look at a g uy we do not stare and measure and undress him like you guys do with pretty girls.

I don't think that looking at another person is being unfaithful! Its 100% normal to find others attractive, even if you are in a relationship. Me and my boyfriend have a great relationship and we are super comfortable pointing out hot people, girls or guys, to each other. If a girl is worried that her boyfriend will be unfaithful just because he finds another girl attractive, then it comes down to trust issues. As for the guys, there is no need to overdo it. As long as you aren't going on for hours, I don't see a problem with it.

Male/Female doesnt matter. We are all susceptible to attraction, especially physical. It's only normal to admire someone's physical attributes. That's a part of being human. HOWEVER,I do not like it when people do this blatantly and so bluntly. It is okay to look but not in such a way where you seem like you're thinking of getting jiggy with that girl when you're with your own girlfriend. That becomes insulting.

I believe girls gets angry because they are angry at you for being not respectful to them. She is your girl and you are going out with her and she really wants you full attention, which means when you look at other girls she gets really offended. Well I can only say, dont look too obviously at hot looking girls, try to not get too distract when a sexy looking gal walks past.

First of all it is no different for a man or woman. I just really have to know this how old are you. I have been married for a long time and have two adult children. My husband works in the public and I am sure looks at women all the time. I know he does when I am with him. I will look at men and we have an understanding. I trust him and he trusts me. It sounds like a jealousy issue to me.

No offence to girls/women but they are complicated. They want your full attention. They don't want you to look to other girls. So don't. Never discuss about her looking to guys and her going mad because of you doing the same.

Yes. It's true. Girls are undefinable but it still makes a man complete(right? hehe) Well, sometimes girls cannot remove their insecurity over other girls. Even though that girl is pretty but when her bf just look at another girl, the reaction would be same i think. In my case, I'm a little different. Me and my bf would share opinions if we see a beautiful girl and we would admire together but he would end up saying "lip service" like "you are more beautiful! you have this or that more than her" hahaha! (try it to your girl). And when we meet a handsome, attractive man, I would just glance but I won't stare. I think, as I grow old, my interest to handsome men decreases and I would prefer looking at my bf.^^;
