leering/checking out

    ok so girls and boys both check eachother out on the sly some times.

    guys are better known for it - when a cute chick walks by we can usually be caught checking the 3 essentials - face, rack and then a quick glance back to examine the ass once shes walked by. this is as much to do with mens lack of discretion and tact as anything else

    I (and most blokes) dont do this out of intentional perversion, it happens totally spontaneously without consciously thinking about it.

    Other times i spy a hot mama walking my way and an uncontrolable smile creeps across my face - this is sometimes returned and sometimes met with a "WTF you lookin' at boy" frown.

    imo sometimes checking someone out is acceptable and sometimes not. so girls i guess my question is, when does a cheeky flattering glance become a scary unwelcome leer?

    is it when the guy checking you out is ugly? is it when he is working on a building site? is it the way its done? or is it when your just not in the mood?

    all thoughts and comments welcome

    Never underestimate the shallowness of the female species!!

    There's nothing better than walking down the street, on the way to work in the morning for example and seeing a beautifull woman walking towards you or standing at a bus stop.

    Makes me smile anyway.

    Life is good for a split second, cant really rationalise it, but there you go!

    When I see these women I think, "Damn!".

    I've actually had to stop watching Fashion TV as it was depressing me and making me think of setting up my own model agency... (bad thoughts, bad thoughts...)

    If I caught some woman checking out my nice firm arse I'd give her a slap in the face and a piece of my mind. The nerve! :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,724 ✭✭✭BoozyBabe


    She's prob just a butchers wife wondering how much bacon she could slice off it!!!! :D

    And if it wasn't the arse she was checking out but rather the "package" up front ??

    Yep, happens all the time without thinking.

    & I always always always get caught by the better half, followed by a sharp scowl & some long moments of silence

    Its usually worth it though :)

    I'd probably interject with "*Ahem*! My eyes are up here!".

    Honestly I feel SO objectified right now. :(

    Women wearing tight tee shirts with slogans printed on the front have automatically lost the right to object if you stare at their lady chesticle parts. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,225 ✭✭✭Scruff


    hmmm...no fire and brimstone replies from the ladies so far. One can only come to the conclusion that this kind of behaviour is totally accepable and they dont mind\appreciate being checked out.
    what good sports!

    I was down Rue de Antibes in Cannes today and I couldn't blink for about 40mins for fear I'd miss something! MudderofJebus my eyeballs are bone dry.:D

    I think thats a fair conclusion to draw.

    After all wasn't it Oscar Wilde who once said:

    "The only thing worse than being leered at by a bunch of randy sex-mad blokes is not being leered at by a bunch of randy sex-mad blokes"

    ... and he would know.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 978 ✭✭✭bounty


    the intensity of my leering is proportional to how hot she is

    hotness can be calculated by added up all her assets in this order of priority: fit body, cute face, perky tits, big butt (no cellulite) and revealing clothing (clevage)
    There's nothing better than walking down the street, on the way to work in the morning for example and seeing a beautifull woman walking towards you or standing at a bus stop.

    i think theres a release of endorphins in our brains when we see a really fine specimen of hot chick walking towards us, becasue i cant help smirking either, and then on the other hand when i see a fat old woman, i react like ive just smelt a large turd

    it's so true...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 122 ✭✭EvilPixieOne


    I don't mind checked out by guys as long as they're reasonably good looking, not incredibly old and it doesn't last long enough to become uncomfortable. But then again, I check out guys too, I'm probably just not as obvious about doing it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 332 ✭✭*marie*


    It starts to bother me when they're driving and they either slow down or cause an accident just to get a look at you. If they atually shout something at you it offends me too, as if you're some sort of object on display.
    Also it depends how old the man is!

    i like it when the guys worth it... but not when he's old, ugly or poor :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    I stare all the time lately... I'm not even suptle about it anymore, I've stopped caring, lol :p Ahh well!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭Binomate


    One thing I've noticed is that women do it more. Hard to believe I know but most of my mates that are girls never shut up pointing out hot guys. They're like a bunch of perverts. In fact yesterday I saw a bunch of girls behind some lad walking down grafton street pretending to grab his arse right be hind his back. The guy was clueless. It looked very funny.

    Actually now that I think about it,you are right.
    Not only do girls do it,they do it way better than we do it.They talk about it with you too.They go on about him,what he was wearing,his hair,that girl he was with etc etc it's crazy!

    Btw it's just natural to check people out,I'm loving this computer lab right now...oh and my maths physics exam this morning was good too :)

    There's a stretch of road between my house and the luas and I have never once walked it without having a horn beeped at me or someone i dont know shout something. It's not like I ask for it... maybe they're all just scumbags where I live or something

    you should become really ugly if it bothers you that much

    My sentiments exactly.


    I've started forcing myself not to look out of a sense of self-respect. People who look back are pathetic. Don't have a problem with people giving a quick check out though. It's natural and it should be flattering.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 136 ✭✭Besprechen

    easily solved... try walking on the pavement instead :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 641 ✭✭✭Dimitri


    You have to look its the ultimate feel good thing to do!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    i've never stared anyone out of it, nor has anyone (above 15, and not a Finglas scumbag) leered at me. Or not that I've noticed. I tend to walk around with headphones on, with my head down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 238 ✭✭cookiemonst3r


    i hate the way u cant walk past a carfull of fellas without them beepin at you. they get so annoying.

    I have almost crashed looking at hotties, but seriously, if they give you the what you lookin at stare, they most likely, just have attitude problem along with the (slight)possibility they dont find you attractive at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,335 ✭✭✭Cake Fiend


    I'm terrible for it, to the point of being snared many times by past girlfriends :o

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,326 ✭✭✭pretty*monster


    It fine so long as they don't shout things or beep the horn, which is just intimidating and insulting.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭[Jackass]


    omg wtf tbh imo!

    Why would a chick be insulted if you check her out. Dismount your high horse!! You can check me out if you want, and you know im gonna check you out no matter what...and there's absolutely noting you can do about it!! :D

    So break out the wonder bra's and short skirts and make my day!! (and stop being so selfish...keeping it all to yourself..share the wealth!)

    yes i realise i'm a pervert...so what!

    does a girl have to be in a mini skirt and low cut top to b checked out???


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Er no,a girl has to just em exist to be checked out :)
    Plus mini skirt and low cut top type girls are not checked out by everybody,me for example.Can't stand em.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,462 ✭✭✭Aisling(",)


    Tbh I love it makes me feel better about myself.I dosen't bother me in the least


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    If women want to leer at me who am I to deprive them of this simple pleasure? ;)

    No, but it sure helps ;)

    Seriously though, i'm more into a classy looking hot girl than a knacker bird wearing de whoops, and her arse & tits hanging out...but I'd still look...from a pornographic stand point if nothing else...but the tall, classy, long legged beauty? Hmmm....nasty tohughts, and I will deffenatly check that out with genuine interest ;)

    P.S. No Fat Chicks!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 771 ✭✭✭spiderlegs


    It's only bad if the person is obviously too old for you, then it becomes slightly perverse, other than that if it's a look of appreciation then I'm normally quite flattered!!

    I just read that post. I didn't know guys liked tall girls with long legs. I thought they preferred the small ones.Hmm...good to know.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 315 ✭✭Mysteryfish


    I think it's only to be expected that guys will check girls out and vice versa. Also some girls are very unsubtle about it, as someone said earlier, but most probably just keep it to themselves.

    I think it's ok, so long as it's not really long and gets into leering. I mean then it's just creepy and uncomfortable, so keep it short. It can be a nice compliment sometimes to see that a guy thinks you're good looking.

    As far as beeping the horn of the car/slowing down to get a better look goes, please try and avoid it guys, cuz I have had this happen to me and I always either jump about a mile at the sound of the horn or am totally weirded out.

    It's also not good if the girl is way younger than you. Don't turn into a perv!

    What?You're 15!If some guy in a car slows down when it gets near you and starts beeping the horn, run!Run as fast as your legs can carry you!
