Why guys bite their fingers when see some hot girl?

[Anonymous]

When guys stare at girls, some of them make this gesture:they keep cheking her out, then they touch their mouth or make a fist and bite it or bite a finger.
What it means and why some guys do this?

I have literally never done this in my life, or seen a guy do it lol. I guess it's the "Looks so damn good I just want to bite it" gesture.

I don't know. I nibble on my finger when I'm stressed. But I've never done anything for girls I'm attracted to.

it means they're turned on, but they're consciously being obvious about it

Why the biting his own hand?

i've seen it in tv shows and stuff, its the same gesture people make when they're trying not to laugh, biting their knuckles. its suppression of a feeling.

I don't think i've ever seen this happen, it sounds very awkward.

Likely you have seen the meme of Leonardo DiCaprio biting his fist, which is taken from a scene in the movie "Wolf of Wall Street" (2008). I don't think it's a natural impulse, but it's a very clear indication. I'm a straight guy, I personally never have done it, and have not seen a guy unconsciously/naturally do it. Although, I have noticed that I occasionally burp in front of people that I dislike when I pass by them, a rude habit that I must stop.

not all guys do it.
I know one guy that bites his fingernail and he doesn't realize that he is doing it.

an old dude did this to me while looking me up and down I'm 13

Because they are nervous

Hmmm... I've never seen that. No idea.

I think you're just imagining it.
