Why do men feel entitled to stare at women?

Question

Especially the women that wear revealing or sexy clothes. Like they aren't wearing that so some creep can stare at them. Even Jesus didn't agree with men staring and creeping on women 👀

How about we quote some jesus verses about dressing provocatively.  And you're gonna pretend that women don't check me out, shove their assets in my face, and catcall me with every opportunity? It's not annoying but embarrassing. And no, I'm not afraid that they'll rape me or something which probably is the case for you. Just carry a military grade horror cock in your pocket, be strong and smart like wilmareportu, learn to defend yourself and report others to proper authorities for staring. If you were the woman in the photo you should've told those brown fuckers that you're about to unleash a tor**** of unholy coom that will make them blind if they don't stop staring. How about you pause for a moment and warn them that you're gonna pull out a laser pointer and point it at their eyes... and they will look away if they wish to avoid getting their eyes glued shut by the coom of the mighty laser. That's if you're really annoyed by them staring. Maybe purposely make the laser beam so weak that it's physically incapable of causing damage to the eyes, but the fuckers won't know whether it is or isn't powerful enough. And, this way if they report you to the proper authorities for such unacceptable behaviours such as pointing lasers in people's eyes, you will have the excuse of saying that you ensured that the laser pointer isn't strong enough to cause actual damage, but only to scare them away.

i use the rule of 3's:

-i look at everyone, but i don't look for more than 3 seconds. (1st look).

-if someone is remarkable they might get a double-take, just showing appreciation, still not longer than 3 seconds (2nd look)

-don't do it (3rd look). because now ur just being a creep.

this is what i practice and what i taught my kids.

"Male instinct" is not an excuse, but it IS the explanation closest to the truth.

but men are hardwired to look. Now that doesn’t mean hardwired to stare, follow, cat call etc. Men can definitely control that. It requires considerable conscious effort for a man to not look though and the problem is that men don’t see any problem with “just looking” because it’s viewed as “harmless.” Men (largely) don’t have personal experience with the feeling of being objectified in public and, if they do, it is extremely rare that they fear for their personal safety as a result. Lacking that personal experience, guys really need others to express how “just looking” can make women/girls feel very uncomfortable and unsafe.

coachTanthony · Answer

Lock these creeps up. We should have an entire police division for these individuals.

blueonblack22 · Answer

Okay why would a woman dress provocatively in the first place? Quit the mental gymnastics bs excuses because she does it for no other reason other then wanting attention. Period. And don’t tell me it’s about “confidence”. That’s still completely about attention because it boosts a woman’s confidence to get attention from men she actually wants to notice her. She particularly does this to “compete” with other women. It’s a “one up” if more people notice her than other women. Huge part of it.

But she can’t expect to only get attention from where she wants it’s vs where she doesn’t. She can’t expect men she doesn’t like to magically read her mind and look away.

For the record it is indeed creepy to look for an extended amount of time. But guys will reflexively notice women and the instinct to glance will hit them before they even realize it. But when they do realize it that’s when they got to look away. But some guys are slower to realize this then others. Most guys improve with age on this but not all.

Anyway I am really fed up with the female hypocrisy of dressing provocatively while simultaneously getting upset about the wrong men who stare to long. Extremely fed up with that hypocrisy.

It’s like women do this intentionally because they want the victim status of being “harassed” because victim hood has merit nowadays in itself.

Mynameisbobby · Answer

Everyone looks at everyone. Guys look at girls and girls look at Guys. Staring at anyone is just plain creepy. I've seen girls in school rip open a boys shirt just because she thought he was sexy and everyone just laughed. As boys/Guys we are taught to respect girls/women but respect is a two way street. I do look at women I don't think I feel entitled to it though it's just natural. I think women feel entitled to do what they want to Guys and nothing happens. I've mowed the lawn shirtless and had women yelling sexual things to me. Do they not feel entitled? If I see a woman wearing a bikini I'm going to look not stare and I don't think I'd yell sexual things at her but yeah definitely going to look! I have a girlfriend that I totally respect and she respects me as well. I'm curious to know how you would go about asking for a Guys permission to look at him? That sounds creepy as hell!! Imagine if I went up to a woman and asked her if I could look at her? She'd slap my face and it would be justified because that's creepy!!

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

Yea but you are missing the meaning behind the scripture, "if it causes you to sin" which is most likely referring to sexualizing women which many do seem to do but there's guys that dont do it to sexualize and just admire their beauty and I'm guilty of the second one, taken or single a woman can be beautiful and their relationship status doesn't change it, I don't personally recall the last time I stared at a woman and thought "I wanna fuck her" although I do think "woah she is beautiful" beautiful eyes, beautiful this, beautiful that, there's definitely a difference considering God gave us the ability to detect beauty with our eyes, now turning that beauty into something dirty is where I personally believe this scripture is speaking about.

nawtee_me · Answer

Mathew 5:28-32

28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

Divorce
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[a]32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Anpu23 · Answer

Anything in public view is subject to public scrutiny. This idea that giys can not look at a woman is a form of social control.

I get that some guys get a bit too aggressive, yet there is also a level of "what do you mean that I can't LOOK at something?"

Truth is this, I've been accused of this while looking PAST her at something else (reading a sign). And there's no defense as its a fully perceptional argument. She felt that I was being "creepy" while I didn't even realize that she was there.

But this issue is one of those things that creates gender issues.

lilBigPotato · Answer

No one is entitled but I guess it's normal for a guy to want to look which by itself isn't a problem and also understandable if a girl dresses sexy. It's becoming a problem when having a quick look turns into starring or other creepy/inappropriate behaviour

Christoff92 · Answer

Because many men are seduced to the belief that a woman or a beautiful woman would make them the most confident men in society and the planet.

It's her beauty that encourages his confident and high self-esteem. Most men don't believe in their own self-individuality and own self-confident. It's the woman touch that strives his balance in life and goals. But imagine that a very confident man that's empowered by his own self confident needs to be appraised by a woman that shows no attraction towards him.

A woman who knows people would laugh at her own husband, boyfriend, or children. Another thing to their sexual desires because of the exposure of pornography thar successfully became an online empire that's viewed by more then 85% of men. That's a big number. Men aren't focused on themselves. Now it's time that they do 😀

love_conquers_lust · Answer

It is not a sin to admire the beauty of others. It is a sin to lust for that beauty. The creep, rapist, and the pervert covet, for they have already sinned in their hearts. The honest person beholds the the splendor around them.

Why do men feel entitled to stare at women?  It's not illegal and they don't need a girl's permission to stare. I'm not endorsing or defendning the behavior but men have the right to stare at women in public. Especially the women that wear revealing or sexy clothes. Like they aren't wearing that so some creep can stare at them.  Please explain why they are wearing revealing clothing if they don't want others to look at the way they are dressed. Isn't it obvious that if a girl goes out in public dressed in a short skirt that reveals her panties whenever she bends over, and her boobs are hanging out, that she is going to attract make attention? And she knew that when she was selecting her wardrobe earlier in the day.

Still-alive · Answer

Absolutely not but im sure youve seen some of the misogynistic dudes om here. One I recall saying he doesn’t give a shit of women dont like it and you should just ‘get over it’ lol. What a douche.

anyways i only stare if she wants me to ;)

glennos89 · Answer

Why are you dressing inappropriately? 🧐

Instead of blaming guys for staring you should look in the mirror at your own actions because you are to blame when you dress inappropriately and you can't blame it on the people staring at you!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️😵‍💫

If I decide to get outside on the streets fully naked without any clothes on... Is it then fair to blame all woman that are staring at me? 🤨

Before blaming others... make sure you look in the mirror at your own poor decision making!

I wonder if you ever look at your own mistakes when you ask this kind of question tbh... Because it seems you don't do it often enough🧐

Vibe201 · Answer

I think it's past instinct and part culture. Like a lot of young boys out of curiosity due to lack of knowledge and experience tend to gawk at women and social pears.

This is to some extent natural however the problem is it is excused away with lines like "boys will be boys" and a soft education system that is too grade focused and lacks in its role of socialising young minds to be acceptable members of society.

Now whilst some might argue that a women is inviting risk when she wears more sexually revealing clothing this is a flawed argument as if basically results in the sought of "victim blame culture" we have fostered as a society.

Matadorius · Answer

Im an agnostic so idc about what some religious guy or woman did say. Its so simple that men are more visual gender when women are more emotional compared to men. So that's why men are more likely to look at beautiful women than women look at handsome men. But im not justifying creepy looks at women. Its so barbaric and scary thing to do. I would be scared too if a woman looks me the same way.

RedInnocent68 · Answer

I’m not sure it’s entitlement. Sometimes it’s shock and we can’t help ourselves. I’m not convinced women are much different, either when it comes to men or other women. Just last night my partner and I were out at a wine and spirits show. We were both, well lubricated, and did a double take when this stunning, tall, skinny brunette glided past in a brown sheer dress showing off an incredible rack. We both stared, until she leaned over to whisper, ‘Oh my God! Do you think they’re real?’ 😂 Surely you’ve come across a hot guy you couldn’t help but notice and caught yourself daydreaming and getting wet?

Evananswersquestions · Answer

No I don't even feel the urge to if I see someone attractive I will usually smile if they smile back I engage a conversation, usually after seeing each other a few times if not then I don't look at them anymore or really notice them. That is to say I'm not looking for a relationship with all the women I smile at I just like being friendly with most people I meet regularly.

Robertjo16 · Answer

Listen I just wanna put this out there because I feel its necessary. Even I look at women. But its not because I'm gay or anything, which I'm not. Very straight. Its because im jealous. she's better looking, in better shape. Of course im gonna look in envy. Im not supporting creeps but maybe some people aren't staring just because they are creepy...

Shamalien · Answer

I’m not Christian. Sometimes I see a good looking woman go by and I take a look.

sue me. The exception is if I’m with my girlfriend or honestly even if I have a girlfriend at all I’m less likely to stare. Looking ent even possible to avoid it’s like telling me not to look at a dude coming at me swinging. It’s biologically hardwired for me to look but I can consciously force myself to look away within a short period if need be.

but let’s be real…a lot of women do go out dressed a certain way to be looked at and if they are exuding that sort of confidence I feel much more comfortable staring

Meropatrick · Answer

Its really not in the mans power to avoid looking. What if an amazing car passes next to you. a car that looks like a spaceship. won't u stare? or would u look the other way? For a man a beautiful woman in a nice dress with long sexy legs is like this spaceship car. Now some guys overdo it and act creepy and even follow the woman or bother her which in this case no he is just being a jerk. But staring in on itself is just a sign they are humans and admire beauty and are not dead on the inside. i dont think staring to admire is bad if there was no boundries crossed

Why do men feel entitled to stare at women?

Two women are in a salon.

Woman 1: How’s your son doing?

Woman 2: Great! He met a nice girl who waits on him hand and foot. How’s your daughter doing?

Woman 1: Horrible. She met a lazy guy who expects her to wait on him hand and foot.

Woman 2: OMG. What a loser.😆

Billlewis · Answer

I certainly don't. If I want to check out a woman, I try to at least be discreet about it.

Anonymous · Answer

Entitled doesn't enter in to it. They reason (and I agree) that there's no harm in looking. Not cat calling. Not judging. Not making jokes or remarks. Looking. We look at beautiful things. It's basic instinctive behaviour. And while some men try to be discreet or rein it in, some don't because they figure a) it's harmless and b) if she didn't want to be looked at in that way then she wouldn't have made the effort to look that good in public.

Your milage may vary. And you may disagree. But that's why they do it.

I am a tall and attractive man and trust and believe women are staring at me.

They're making eye contact with me and giving me knowing looks, behind their boyfriend's back when they think he isn't looking.

Women are equally as much of dogs as men are.

You cannot lie to me. I SEE THE FUCKING TRUTH FIRST HAND!

You women act like men are monsters for looking. Well so are you.

Because we are entitled to stare… lol you don’t control what we look at.. if you wearing skin tight booty shorts and low cut shirt expect to be looked at a stared at. If you have a problem with that.. fucking cover up. Even then I still reserve the right to stare at you because I am free to do so.. keep walking or don’t go in public if you have a problem with them. Women feel like they have the ability to control what men do… especially in this bullshit woke society you all built.
But that is going to cost you in the long run.

Its impossible not to take note of other people, but I'm not one to stare at someone unless it seems like they were showing interest in me as well at the very least.

Miristheiss · Answer

So, you want to control what people do with their own eyes huh? Well, the eyes belong to them and they'll look as briefly, not at all or as long as they choose.

Life's hard, the world is an evil and dangerous place, toughen up. At least you live in a country safe enough that long stares are all you have to worry about.

Carry a gun or pepper spray and protect yourself. No one cares if you like or don't like what they choose to look at. That is NOT your call.

You women can stare. Who said you couldn't? Whoever it was is wrong. You women can stare just like men can. You women can even get away with grabbing or pinching men's butts.

Guido · Answer

Both men and women do this. As for men, we are visually stimulated so when a beautiful woman walks by, it's only natural to take a bit longer look at her. Some women do exactly the same when a good looking guy walks by. Now continued stating is not appropriate, taking a bit longer look at beauty is normal.

standardguy · Answer

1st Cor 10:32 (ERV) "Never do anything that might make other people do wrong—Jews, non-Jews, or anyone in God's church." A woman who does not cover her body is like a woman that does not care about her impact on the men. She is sinning because she makes the men sinning. Besides Jesus did not prohibit watching a woman but desiring her sexually, wanting to have sex with her and so on. If a man just watches her face we can't say he is watching too much.

First men are visual. When we see Beauty, we look. Hunan nature. Staring is very disrespectful. I usually glance and turn away , out of respect.
