Do girls check out guys??

[Anonymous]

This is a serious question do girls bother checking out guys why or why not? I thought girls didn't care about looks so why would they check guys out?

[selfishstars]

Yes, girls check guys out.

And girls do care about looks. It's just that different people (and this is true about girls and guys) place different amounts of importance on looks.

Personally, I want to be physically and sexually attracted to my partner, but a person's personality will influence how attractive I find them. For example, if someone has a bad personality, it's going to make me feel less physically attracted to them; but if they have a good personality, it makes me feel more physically attracted to them (perhaps it has to do with how critical of their looks I am---i.e. I'm more open-minded to and more forgiving of "flaws" in someone who has a great personality). A person's physical attractiveness is often what causes me to notice someone---but their personality is going to be the deciding factor in whether or not I actually like them and would consider dating or having a relationship with them. And if given the choice between a person who wasn't very physically attractive but had a great personality and someone who was very physically attractive, but had a bad personality, I'd pick the less physically attractive person.

Of course we check them out, lol. Looks are definitely a factor, they're just not the most important factor. We have eyes, we have desire, we have the mental processes to determine who we are and aren't attracted to, just like guys do. So we DO look, though our thoughts or reactions may differ some. And it seems like girls tend to be a bit more stealthy about it, haha, so you may not pick up on us doing it unless we decide to take it a step further and initiate contact/flirtation. Guys a lot of times get that 'deer in headlights' stare or the 'sexual leer', though of course many guys are more discreet, those are just examples. Girls usually look in such a way that you can't be sure whether or not we're actually looking at you unless we WANT you to notice us looking, kind of a sideways/peripheral thing. Does that make sense? Of course I'm generalizing here, a lot of this comes down to the individual person and their style, obviously. =]

Depends. What do you mean, by checking out? I never look at a guys figure..and right now, while I am dating a guy, I don't even look at there faces...When I am single, I will do a quick glance..BUT, not like EVERY guy I come across..more like, someone who caught my attention, by holding the door for me or something. Like I said, this is when I am single, though. I am in love, so no guy will get my attention unless it is my boyfriend...I guess, I am weird. haha.

[Asker]

what about muscles, arms, back?

[Eiffelgirl21]

no. lol. I probably check him out more detailed IF I am interested in him...like, I see him a lot..and I want to pursue it. But, not if I walk by him and I don't even know him. But, the features I look at if they are attractive..and when I want to pursue him, I just look at height and weight really. I hope that isn't bad...lol

[Eiffelgirl21]

But, even that doesn't matter when I REALLY like someone.

You ate wrong about girls. They care about looks just as much as guys do, but they are taught to be modest and to sugar coat anything that may be seen as superficial/shallow. The truth is everybody wants the best. It's perfectly natural. I do it and if that makes me shallow then so be it. I'm willing to say it like it is.

[cyrus7]

Sure, they're human too

I have yet to catch one though which can mean one of two things

[Asker]

what would that mean man?

[cyrus7]

well it can mean either they are really good at doing it without me noticing, or they don't check me out lol

[Asker]

Yeah lol.

[Hades]

I think they only really check out guys who are like 6'+ tall. =\

[cyrus7]

wouldn't doubt it

[Anonymous]

Oh yeah! Looks still play that initial attraction factor. I have yet to meet a girl who doesn't love her some eye candy time to time.

Just when it comes to dating, looks practically drop off the map in leiu of other characteristics.

The impression I get from reading a lot of posts on the looks matter here & real life is that generally speaking, guys rank looks higher than a girl will in importance.

But yeah, we totally will check out the new shiney thing that catches our eye. Just pounce isn't the first reaction :P

[LuvMyPonies]

Of course we check out guys and looks are important but don't necessarily have to be the thing that attracts us to the guy. If I'm on my computer at Starbucks and I see a guy holding a door open for people wether its his friends, strangers, or who ever I'm more likely to notice that guy than the blond hottie by the bar. We notice the little things like that and it really does a lot to help your cause. Chivalry isn't dead and goes a long way guys.

Yes. I do care about looks to an extent. I just mean that unlike guys, just thinking a guy is good looking won't make me feel like I want to have sex with him because the way he acts and his personality is what will make me want the sex. That's why I've been extremely turned on by mediocre guys sometimes.

[Anonymous]

Of course girls check guys out, we're doing it a whole lot actually, the thing is, we're just more discreet about it (well some aren't). And after we very often talk about it with our friends. Trust me, girl's do check guy's out.

We care about looks too, some more than others I must add.

[vmw2008]

Yes we check guys out. And whole told you we don't care about looks? Like selfishstars said, different people may care differently about looks, but it's not a gender think. Most women care, just like most men care.

[_lightness_]

girls totally care about looks, and we do check guys out, just not in the same way.

[Asker]

what do you mean same way like not making it obvious?

[_lightness_]

yeah, it's not all "yo, dAAAYUMMM you fiiine, lemmee see that aasss!" or like, staring at certain parts of their anatomy... like I'll look at them secretly when they don't know it...the only time you'll know when a girl is checking you out, is when she wants you to know...

[Asker]

hmm so she wants me to approach her?

[_lightness_]

if she's staring at you obviously, then yeah probably. either that or you have something in your teeth

[upood]

I check out guys sometimes but if I like one guy in specific I won't check out other guys because to me they don't exist haha

[louiseee]

All the time. I don't date some one based on their physical appearance, but I do enjoy looking at boys. Yesyesyes.

[rockingpianoman]

if you think girls don't care about looks , you need to think again ha ha :D

[brunettebelle]

Duh. If there is a hot guy we like to get a glimpse, I do all the time. Me and my friends used to holler at guys from our car.

[Kain6th]

Yet, it's considered rude when guys do that. :-P

[Prof_Don]

Damn right they do, QA.

They don't "oogle" as extrovertedly as the average guy, but they do look. :)

[PoeticNinja]

Of course, it's only normal too.

Everybody cares about looks. Always have and always will.

[Senses]

yes I check out guys and yes I do care about looks.

[Missmoo]

Of course girls check guys out! And who told you girls don't care about looks?! Because you're misinformed my friend

[Prof_Don]

She is 100% correct. Thumb-up #2 for you. :)

[ChooChooHaha]

Lol, not a chance. Yes, we do. Same reason why you males check out females.

[Anonymous]

yes, of course we do! If I see a hot guy I'll check them out, girls are just more discrete about it :)

[ManaX]

Yes, we do, and yeah we care about looks.
