Is it normal for men to look at other pretty girls even if they are with their girlfriends? is it not a cheat? Every time my boyfriend and I go out, and if we see a gorgeous lady, i check his eyes if he would look and follow by his eyes and yes he does it. It hurts but i remained quiet. One time he did it again and it was too obvious so i confronted him, he said he was just curious but said sorry. I don't understand men; I wanna know men's point of view.

As a man, I believe that it's normal for us men to admire beauty of other women even though we are already in a relationship with a woman. However, a man should also be considerate with the feelings of their partners so in you case your boyfriend is now aware that you find it hurtful when he deliberately looks at another woman. Nevertheless, you should not worry as long as you feel that he sincerely loves you, remember that what he feels for you is the important thing, he may look at attractive women that you encounter in various places once in a while but as long he really loves you, I see no problem with it. Have a nice day :).

Thank you for your response. I've understood men now especially my boyfriend. Yes, you're right what he feels for me is the most important thing. I know he's sincerely loving me and i must trust him because i want him to trust me too. Actually after i confronted him, he stopped doing it. Meaning, he doesn't want me to be hurt. Thanks to you =) have a great day!

My ex-boyfriend does that many times and I told him why he keep on doing that. He stares for as long as the girl is there. So, I decided to split off with him but he won't allow me. He is crazy! He won't allow me and said he would kill himself. I said you can go look for other girls out there and I don't care.hahaha! I no longer feel his sincerity and also caught him cheating online. He thinks I'm still his girlfriend but I already consider myself not-in relationship.hehe. I'm happy without him.:)c Staring at other girls while you're with your gf is a form of betrayal though it's normal. Just don't appear to obvious while doing it, be considerate with your girl also.

I am a female who has been married many years. When we dated this would happen all the time and I didn't like it at all. I use to tell him if she looks better go for it but found it to be a major insult. He continues to stare at other women but never makes any comment. I am use to it now but still wonder what he is thinking. I still find it to be insulting. I know what his answer would be to me, something like he didn't know he was staring. Ok that's a pretty lame excuse. I think over a period of years, it becomes a habit. I can suggest you do the same thing when a good looking man walks by. A little taste of his own medicine might make him more aware of what he is doing and how you are feeling.

I believ we as women do it as well but think nothing of it. I think most men are the same way. Of course I can't say that I am the best person to be asking about this as I have a sort of jaded perspective on love now. It used to be I would care if the man I was with did that, now I could careless.

It's just that we like watching something pretty it has nothing to do with emotions and feelings. I have to say that for guys that if looking is cheating then all of us are cheaters :P

When I went to go shopping with my husband, I started to notice him if he stare at other girls, sometimes he did, sometimes he didn't. If he did, actually it brings hurt to me too, I don't like him to stare other girls when we are together, maybe men like to do that, even didn't care our feelings.

I think men are basically admirer of beautiful girls. Don't worry, they are just admiring or just mesmerized with them. But other than that, it's you that your boyfriend loves.

I think it is okay to admire girl, but not good to stare too long and appreciating the beauty with the girlfriends in the side.

Yes that's right. When men stares already at a girl, it's already rude.

Surprisingly, there was only one other woman that my boyfriend looked at, but I gave him full permission to stare because it was actress Liv Tyler the daughter of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. For the record, she is so beautiful in person. I think that that is the only other woman he ever looked at other than me.

He told me, "Oh my God, it's Liv Tyler!" and then I said, "I give you full permission to stare because I just saw her too!" We both couldn't stop looking.

I thought most men do look at a girl, but they do not really care for the girls they look. I thought men does not stare at girls when they are with their girlfriend. I am man so I can explain what men look in girls. Most men does not mean what they look at girls. It might be most probably like looking a beautiful flower or a thing of beauty. If they see another flower they probably will look at it. I think it is more like a curiosity. Men does not mean just by looking a girl that he likes the girl or got attracted to the girl. It might just like seeing something beautiful say like seeing a flower or seeing a good food or seeing a waterfall. I do not think that men want to sleep with the girls they look at or stare. Most men just see the beauty or appearance. The men want to spend life only with girls who really care, loving, and understanding. It is normal cheneper to look at girls, but things does not seem what you see. May be he might be looking at the beauty or structure of the girl, but if he got a chance to have love or physical relationship with the girl he might say no way.

It is not cheating, period. If it is a cheat, then he won't do it right in front of you, you will never be able to find out so easily. You shouldn't feel hurt, something in her caught his eye and bring his attention on it, just like you say, she is a gorgeous lady, who doesn't want to take a look, especially if he is a man; i assume that is why he has a pair of eye on him. You have nothing to feel hurt again as like he said, he is just curious, he may has too much curiosity inside his head, you shouldn't treat him just like every cheater from the act of merely take a look at another woman. Cheer! Happy Mylotting!

Hello cheneper :) My boyfriend loves to look to other pretty girls too.. And the funny things that he is not the only one who love to look other pretty girls, me too.. Sometimes I said “Aw, look at that girl, she has pretty face and big boobs too” then he reply “Yes I already look at her before” then we both chuckle together.. :))

my boyfriend does the same too. he looks at other girls and i ask him why he does that and i was actually touched by what he told me. he said that he is just comparing me to them, telling himself that he has a beautiful girlfriend, more beautiful than any other girls he sees and that he is proud of me(awwww) and i said, "i thought i am the only lady you see?" hehehe i always love it when he compliments me. but yeah that doesn't really bother me, because every time we are out, he holds me so close to him and kisses me all the time even if we are out. you can always talk to him if you are bothered by it. whenever i have a problem with my boyfriend, i talk it out with him so that way we can do something about it. i think men are just like that, it can be annoying sometimes, i admit.

Men use the right side of their brains mostly which means they are visual orientated and this means they look. I don't think this is cheating or comparing with.. Unless they start making annoying remarks and put you down time after time after time (then kick the boyfriend out!). If you think women don't look at other men you are wrong. They also do and see way more as men do (they are not blind for only a great long or fancy clothes).

It's not like we want to cheat but we like women and to look at them, especially if they are beautiful, is not like we want to take home every chick we see. The difference is that most of the times we LOVE the one next to us. I'm sure there are women that look at men to see their face, the way their close fit. It's the same thing but usually the ones holding are hand have a problem because we tent to focus on different areas of the body. I don't really do that when I go out with my girlfriend but sometimes we discuss about it, sometimes she shows me a girl on the street and we exchange opinions about the way she looks. You shouldn't really worry about that in my opinion.

men are agressive in nature than women..its normal for them to stare other girls even they are with their girlfriends because true men in nature have two sense of arousal's, sense of seeing and sense of touching thats why no wonder why they are not contented of what they have still they enjoy seeing others ...

This is so true most males do that. I say we females should give them a taste of their own meducine. Sometime when we know they are looking at us we should stare at another male. Years ago i was at a big event our city was having. While we were leaving we past a wet tshirt contest tent. About to leave the crowd i turned to discover my friend was not with me. I knew exactly where i would find him. I walked back to the wet tshirt contest tent and there he was straining his neck to get a good look. I walked up behind him and snagged my car keys out of his pocket. I was so angry. He turned and looked at me like whats wrong. But knowing he would get left behind with out a ride he followed me out. He is my ex now not because of that day but somethings much worse.

Well I'm not a man I Am a female...the best thing to cure him about his curiosity for females? you do the same the next time a male goes by you give a nice low whistle and say wow that was something to look at! I know he will be angry at you...but keep on doing it until he realizes that what is good for the male is good for the female as well.

We men are dirty-dirty dogs ... oh, you clean us up just fine and dress us nice; but even a clean, dressed-up dog remains a dog. You take a dog to a dog-park, it's gonna sniff the behind of any attractive dog that shows up---even if both your dog and the other dog are 'married' to their mates back home. The best you can do is understand that your man is looking at that other specimin thinking, "I would still love my girlfriend even if she looked like that!" (and maybe you could give him a little extra-special lovin` to remind him 'who Mama is').

it is part of men's nature to be attracted to beautiful women. i think it would be futile to try and stop them from doing it, because they might not be able to control themselves and they might resort to lying to you. My boyfriend sometimes do that but i don't want to care. i just tease him if he wants to be with that woman, he can go but i warn him never to come back to me if he desires to be with other women. my advice, don't take this action personally. it's not really cheating, or rather, it is not enough evidence for cheating. though it is still annoying. you tell him to stop it, he is more likely to want to stay away from a jealous freaky girl friend. the world is not fair to us women. why can't men be more attractive so that we get to stare at many of them as well? LOL

I was supposed to make the similar topic. GLAD that you did it. When I was reading your message, I was smiling on my own because we do have the same situation. It always happen most of the times on us and I kept on telling him that if he wants to really shop on her eyes some beautiful chicks out there maybe he could go to the mall ALONE. I really get irritated, and the if he caught someone staring at me he got mad. BOYS WILL ALWAYS BE BOYS....

Yeah it's natural for a person to look at another and think that perhaps he or she is attractive. But to stare at a person that isn't necessary and really is rude. You are right for saying that to him. My husband and I will make comments if we think someone looks nice, gorgeous, etc. But he doesn't stare at a person.

i don't see it as normal because for me when the guy do that it means he is not faithful to his girlfriend.
