Okay! I've received a couple of interesting requests from some of my girl-friends on my Twitter on what to write for my first topic. As usual, when you ask women "what is it about men that you don't understand? or you don't like?", it's just like giving the chainsaw to an escaped psychotic convict, serving it on a silver platter, saying "here! please go postal! I insist!" Within seconds my in-box was swarmed with tons of suggestions. Women are so efficient.
I promise I will do them all in due time. So, for this entry, I will attempt to explain "why do men stare at other women even though they're in love with you". Right! Good question. Why stare? Isn't that just plain rude? Before I answer that, let me just turn your attention to a song made famous by U2. In the song "Lemon" the lyrics says "a man likes to stare, there's no sleeping there, he turns his money into light, she's imagination, to look for her Lemon". I know, what the... But before you say anything further, actually what Bono means in his lyrics is that he is capturing the world as he sees it and the woman that he is staring is in fact his mother wearing a lemon dress (according to a user in some forum I googled so it has to be true). Yes I know..."what the..."
Fact: OMG Yes! Men likes to stare at other women! Well, some of whom I know do and they do it even though they are with their counterparts! But why?! why?! Many reasons. Reasons like "she looks like someone from high school", "OMG I swear it's Paris Hilton!" quickly comes into mind (blame the front lobe of the right side brain for this). But before you throw that Piña colada at your man, let me ask you something...Don't women stare at other men too? You might hear them say, "Yes I do stare at other men (while giggling) but I quickly stop staring before he sees me". Fine, but still, that doesn't change the fact that she did stare. So why the fuss? Simple, it's jealousy! Women simply can't tolerate men staring at other women let alone comparing them with the *women passing by (*I was so tempted to use the word tramp but hesitated, but what do you women call the other women that you don't like? Oh yeah, b*tch!)
Is he comparing me with her? For God's sake NO! Some of the men that stare doesn't do comparison! It's just something we men do for fun... It's a guy thing... Seriously can you resist when a woman pass you by wearing like her wardrobe has just been attacked by a swarm of killer moths? Or ladies, could you resist watching an Edward Cullin look alike passes you by?
Ladies, you shouldn't be scared if your men are staring other women. What's there to be scared of? It's not like he is going to get her number or anything. At least he is decent enough to do it in front of you. In fact, you should be even scared if he starts checking out other guys! Now the first option doesn't sound so bad now does it? However, I simply agree and do not deny that it is impolite to stare when you are in the presence of your other half. So guys, behave (whiplash sound effect!)
So bottom line is, men likes to stare!
