Is there a difference between a lustful gaze and one of respectful and attraction?

Can you tell from the first few glances that a person has a genuine liking versus just wanting to bed you and that's all?

You can't tell by how he looks at you. You can tell if someone might be interested in you or not. But there's no way to tell what way he really is interested in youm chances are if he doesn't know you he thinks you are attractive and wants to sleep with you, but maybe get to know you better. If its someone you know well they might have more of an attraction to you than just physical.

yes and the difference is what is going on inside the person, where they are drawing their energy from and thinking.

this is why some people look "creepy"... their internal processing is somewhere else... bad.

Well you can see it someone body language and what they say to you. There is a difference.

But this is a horrible catch 22 for men. Especially for older guys. It is possible for us appreciate a younger woman for being beautiful and not have any bad ideas. But women tend to assume the worst about men when they notice this. It’s especially dangerous if the girl is underage.

Adult men can’t even risk making a respectful comment in complete sincerity nowadays (e. g. congrats on having a beautiful daughter). We got to look away and keep our mouths shut.

I don't think so.

In the past I used to feel like if a ugly fat girl was looking at me, it was a gross lustiful gaze.

But in reality all it was, was that I didn't want girls I wasn't attracted to, to look at me.

And I know for women it's the same in reverse. An attractive man and an unattractive man can do the same things in the same exact way and one will be a creep and the other a hot guy.

So it's not about the look they give, but the looks the person has who is looking.

There very much is a difference. Unfortunately it’s not as obvious from an outside perspective, and people tend to quickly assume the worst, so I try to simply not stare in general. 😕

[Radiate143]

What about a genuine smile and eye contact?

[clampfan101]

That’s always fine for at least a moment, but different people have different amounts of time before they see it as staring.

If girls want to have a relationship with a man, an erection is the precursor and she has to cause it.

@RavVid MHO right here. Also, very succinctly put. Kudos.

[RavVid]

@BoopBoopBeep Thanks :). A lot of girls don't seem to understand that if it wasn't for sex, we'd just live with our sister.

You can tell by how they speak, look at you, and act.

😆😆😆 it's always funny to me that your can't understand it's not always one or the other. You know a guy can look upon you lustfully while maintaining respect for you. We have base instincts but we have self control it's what makes us civilized. I don't assume all women that act proper always think "proper thoughts".

[DannyUk2017]

Ofcourse there is a difference, that's why is called "facial expressions" 😉🤫

[shades777]

the difference is if the receiver thinks your hot, if not your a creep, gym girl camera logic,

[Starrrboy]

Yeah , you can tell..

[Sunnybeach123]

Yes, it's facial expression.

Depends how you look at it
