I usually never feel jealous when my husband looks at other women, mostly if he makes me feel secure. Other than that, I know as a fact that as soon as they start talking (usually doesn't happen unless he's approached, and he's not mean about it) it just makes me look even better than before. I take pride that I look decent, but I have more personality than most people I know, so as soon as my husband starts blabbing about his care (usually the first thing any girl mentions when they want to try and steal him) I sit back and watch it play out like a movie lol
That's a pretty confident way of dealing with things.
Wait... what?
At 4:16, he says, "Not comparing you to them." but at 1:58 he specifically says, "Well, yes he may very well find them more attractive than his woman."
That's comparing. Everyone compares stuff. It's human nature to compare. Otherwise you would have no frame of reference of what is better or worse than another thing.
I respect that the guy is trying to send out a positive message, but unsound logic, is unsound logic.
There is difference between saying "that girl is hot" and saying "that girl is hotter than my gf".
When you look at a girl, you're focused on her. You don't necessarily think about your girlfriend right after or at the same time.
Be straight up with me dude.
Man to man, and look me in the er... E-eye when I say this.
Have you ever compared a hot girl with your girlfriend?
The women I see in the street? absolutely not.
I am not even close to thinking about my girlfriend at all when looking at them because I don't even go as far as thinking to actually go and try to have sex with them for real. So thinking about the girlfriend is useless. It's only for the pleasure of the eyes.
THE ONLY time I did compare a girl with my girlfriend was when I was actually hesitating if I should cheat or not because I was offered the option by this girl who was way hotter than my girlfriend AND was very much into me. I hesitated because it was the first time a girl I consider way out of my league would be drooling over me.
At this moment I really needed to compare pros and cons and make a choice. Obviously I decided it was a short term pleasure for a long term mountain of problems ahead.
But the need for comparison came from an actually dangerous place (cheating thoughts), as you can see.
There is no way I need to think that far for chicks I simply look at on the beach...

There's a difference between a casual look and staring. One is disrespectful. With my boyfriends, I haven't ever looked at another guy, not because they weren't unattractive. But because I had no inclination to. I know there are guys that are that way as well.
Of course he will find someone more attractive. That's common sense.
I also don't like how he makes it seem that men are simple-minded: out of sight, out of mind. I think that's pretty messed up.
"Men are programmed by nature to want variety" and then goes off to list a biblical story...*shakes head*. Not all men are like that.
And there are undoubtedly some men who compare their women to the woman and are dissatisfied with their women, so they look. I've been TOLD this by plenty of men.
There seems to be a lot of bias in this. The overall take-out message should be:
Some men look with ill intentions while some don't.
Undoubtedly a man will find someone more attractive. Internalize this.
Not all men want variety or even look. (I have met some asexual dudes or guys with low sex drives that have no interest in women beyond friendship or emotional relationships).
*shakes head*
I think you should show some more respect for your partner when you're actually physically with them, though. A couple of glances here and there are ok and completely justified/normal/natural, but I think it's rude to stare at other people for minutes when your partner is literally RIGHT THERE. It doesn't matter if you're just looking and you've forgotten about them once you stop. I think this is the equivalent of staring at your phone for prolonged periods of time when you're hanging out with someone else. You're making them feel unimportant, as if they really aren't even there with you. Like I said, glances are ok (lasting maybe a few seconds or so), but long, lustful looks? Not really ok in my book. Do that in your free time when your partner isn't with you. But when you're with your partner, show them some respect and let them know that your eyes are on them when you're hanging out.
When my ex looked at other women i didn't care, but when he would mention celebrities or people we both know and say "they are so hot" yeah it did make me feel self conscious and second guess myself. Just as a rule guys, please just say it to friends, not the person you're dating, because even though your girlfriend may seem fine, it could hurt them and build up resentment. My boyfriend called me an 8 at one point which really hurt my feelings and i told him you shouldn't rate women by numbers, its insensitive and how would you feel if you were rated, his response was "8s are the best because 9s or 10s are bitches and will leave you and dont have a mind or personality, 8s you can settle down with and etc etc." May have been meant as a compliment but it hurt
That's another thing I don't understand because I know a girl who was in a similar situation except that SHE asked her boyfriend how much he would rate her... The guys was honest and said 8/10 as well and then she was upset.
I don't get it.
How can you be upset because you're an 8 ? How can you expect him to say 10 (unless you are a 10 but 95% of you aren't... )?
I agree your boyfriend was stupid to rate you if you didn't anything though.
I mean if she asks then she shouldn't get upset. I just dont like the rating though because each girl bring something to the table and i dont think that can be determined by numbers. I would be offended even if i was rated a 10 because its just ugh i just hate the number system, its shallow. I suppose i see it that way because when i become attracted to a guy their personality is at least 65% of the attraction for me. I wasn't attracted to my ex at first but he understood me like no one else and we had great conversations, then the attraction grew farther and farther and i found him really sexy
I think what also should be taken into consideration is knowing the person your with. This video goes under the presumption the guy has morals and is faithful. If you know your guy isn't trust worthy then you do have something to worry about. I know you'll probably say, "Well then they shouldn't be together". But lets be real some people will stay with their SO when they know they are or have been unfaithful.
Then I guess it's their problem. That's like jumping in a pool of sharks and then say "let's be real some people won't get out of the water" ...
So it's their problem? I thought you were trying to prove that women have nothing to worry about when their guy looks at another woman?
Not a good example. Sharks are actually misunderstood. If you're familiar with sharks you can take the proper precautions to survive swimming with them.
" I thought you were trying to prove that women have nothing to worry about when their guy looks at another woman?"
Because I start from the basis that a rational woman doesn't stay with a guy that's KNOWN to be a cheater... unless you tell me that at least half women stay with a cheater?
I DON'T NEED TO. It's COMMON sense.
Who stays with a cheater? Most people don't, and don't assume others do.
Stop being a hypocrite and pretend that you can't come to the same conclusion on your own and somehow it needs to be stated. If you or anyone else staying with a cheater is too weak to get somebody decent, don't come and make it sound like this video is invalidated while you are in a particular case.
The particular case where the person stays with a person that is already known to be a cheater.
Do you REALLY need these things to be stated as a premise? "Lets be real" ...
Haha. You really need to learn how to produce an argument. It's common sense that all men who check out and gawk at other women aren't cheaters? You can't assume and get angry when I point something out you failed to mention. What did I say that was hypocritical? I never said "most people" stay with cheaters. I said "some people" do and that's not assuming. Once again you're taking what I wrote and twisting it to validate a point you never made.
You did just bring up a word I think fits into this "weakness". If a man is so weak that he is willing to ogle another woman in front of his girlfriend/ wife then they need to get someone more decent.
Oh but there you go again making assumptions about me because I brought up cheaters on your myTake trying to validate checking out others in front of your SO. You are way to sensitive. If you don't want a response that disagrees with your opinion then stop posting myTakes.
Ok let's try another approach because you're having a hard time understanding how useless what you're doing is...
You have an opinion? Alright.
Your opinion is that in some cases people stay knowingly with a cheating partner, and in this case, the content of the video becomes less relevant.
You are right. It is less relevant in this case. Except your opinion does not concern "most people". It concerns that small fraction of people. You admitted that in your last comment --> "some people"
This video is not aimed at that small fraction, same goes for the MyTake --> Now THAT, is common sense. You failed at realizing it.
You voiced your opinion, it was a valid but marginal point, so since it doesn't concern most people, nobody really gives a crap about marginal truth (like in any discussion really...). So you pretty much wasted all this time to talk about what is called "the exception that proves the rule".
Thank you for your participation consisting of kicking open doors...
So in other words you have become frustrated because you failed to establish a base point that I pointed out and now want to take credit for it to save face. If it was a marginal point then why respond and get butt hurt about it. You guys who try to justify bad behavior are always so defensive when someone disagrees. If you have a girlfriend I hope she doesn't swallow the BS you feed her. Enjoy your gawking.
"If you know your guy isn't trust worthy then you do have something to worry about."
If you know he isn't trustworthy, then you are an idiot for being with him.
Being trustworthy and being unfaithful are different things.
Someone being "unfaithful" does not mean you cannot trust them again, but being untrustworthy means you cannot trust them even if it's going to the supermarket to pick up a sandwich.
I used to be the insecure one who got pissed when her man gawked and made comments. I grew up and realized that men really do think differently than women. This video is pretty accurate on both sides.
That's good to hear :)
I already knew this but I think a lot of girls on this site would benefit from the info. If I had a man and he never checked out other women I seriously would think something was wrong with him unless he was blind.
Yeah, it doesn't matter, cause I'm checking her out too lol
My sentiment exactly!
lol you're not a psychiatrist.
it's not always about jealousy of other women... sometimes it's just disrespectful you know
like her ignoring you like you dont exist to talk to some other dude
im pretty sure guys won't like it if women stared at other men either
but we're all biologically coded to look (and indeed several social experimnts have shown that you girls are looking too, to some extent. Albeit at different things), and failing to aknowledge that in advantage of the politcal correctness of asuming that if (s) he looks at ANYONE else then he's being unfaithfull will just cause a whole lot of pain. You look, he look. So what?
Because he loves YOU, and he wants YOU! Want to know who he REALLY wants? The last girl he thinks of before falling asleep, and the first girl he thinks of after waking up. Cliche, but true!
All those girls on the beach are just tiny pieces of eye candy. It's always fun to browse the candy store, but he already has his favorite candy in his pocket; YOU! And he's not thinking about replacing it
lol so sweet how you put it haha
but yea, i dont mean looking i mean more like staring and then turning your head to watch her as she passes by...
honeslty if a guy friend does it it kinda hurts too
because i know if i was that girl i wouldn't want some creepy stranger staring me down
and as the guy's friend (or lover) i feel ignored and disrespected
yes it can make a girl jealous but it's not always about jealousy
@dartmaul15
Brilliant. You got to love men of the world. Bless them all
ok this guy is old as fuck, ugly as shit and what?
this was good though, honestly make the leash long enough to choke himself and no guy can afford child support on 700 women's children.
and believe me, we women look too and our minds are free to wander and i can find whatever the fuck i want sexy about guys whenever i want or feel.
... wut? ...
That's a funny video, but I also think it has a lot of merit.
Well, I would be worried. If he can't resist leering ¿how is he supposed to resist cheating?
My girlfriend checks out other dudes and it doesn't bother me.
Really? If he looks, he doesn't like?
I like this MyTake. Lived the video
Nice take bro keep it up.
Sometimes I look at women and wish I had her.
If you do this while single that's ok, but if you do it while you're with someone that's terrible...
I think that's BS tbh.
why?
Because he IS comparing, he DOES remember. I bet he even starts to feel resentment if the other girls are better looking than his own.
That's how YOU think. And then you assume he thinks like you. He doesn't. :)
Besides, your reasoning implies that you have very little value to him, besides your physical appearance. Not a very gratifying way to talk about yourself. :(
If he's just checking out girls body, it's obviously not a comparison about the personality, so it means your personality would not weigh much into the balance (if he was indeed comparing).
There is no 'him' atm. And I was never the type to care if my guy takes a quick look at other women cause I understand that's how men work. Even if he's comparing them to me. The gawking/fantasizing is where there's a prob and any women that stands for that clearly doesn't have any sense of self love.
But, let's not dodge the truth.
What? Only people who love themselves get up tight about their boyfriends looking at other women? I think you have that backwards. If you are secure in yourself, and your relationship, you will begin to understand that his looking is a non issue.
Wtf is she on about?
I like what she's on about :)
I don't understand what she's on about.
She's saying the reason women may feel threatened and therefore insulted by the fact their partner occasionally checks out other females is that they are insecure. So the real problem solver is to be confident, rather than suspicious and resentful towards the guy. In a nutshell.
I think it's more about men and women not understanding each other's nature. And insecurity. But, most people are, so, whatever.
"Because he IS comparing, he DOES remember. I bet he even starts to feel resentment if the other girls are better looking than his own."
actually from experience i completely agree with this... with exception though
i only think thoughts like that if in my mind i believe i can get a better looking girl than the one i am with... but these thoughts also don't happen if i am in love with a girl
as for remembering these girls i'd agree in certain situations... as in school or work... but just walking down the road and seeing a girl? never remembered one of them longer than when my eyes were on them... i can't even remember girls who i thought of as 10's
but women feel these emotions for a reason... it's not like evolution just made something up for no reason... sure it doesn't apply to all situations but the feeling women get do exist for a reason
