Girls, how do you feel about this male perspective?

I'm not saying it is correct, but I've heard a few guys use this description for male behaviour:

Just because I bought my favorite painting from the gallery, that doesn't mean I can't continue to enjoy looking at all the other paintings.

How do you feel about that and what does it mean to you?

The phrase kind of objectifies people but I agree with the overall message.

Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean that you've gone blind to attractive people. Doesn't work that way. You can appreciate beauty and still be in a relationship.

Does it depend on how far his head is turned?

[mandyfire98]

I mean there's "damn she's cute" and that's pretty much as far as it should ever go lol.

He better not be dumb enough to browse the gallery while im in the room otherwise he can get maced 😂

Girls look too but we’re not dumb enough to look in front of the guy. Looking and flirting are also two different things. They better fckin not flirt in general regardless of if i’m around. Because we WILL find out. #IssaTrap

It doesn’t bother me if my boyfriend notices other girls. I notice other guys too. However, if he starts staring or tries to flirt with them, that would be a problem.

Art and instagram aren't the same if that is the implication.

[stratford]

How about in real life?

[Yannae]

lool just don't stand in front of your favorite painting while staring at another

Is "painting" a metaphor for something else?

[stratford]

Yes - for a girl
