Me and my girlfriend both have no problem pointing out attractive people to each other, of whatever gender.
Her sexuality is not my property, and mine isn't hers.
We're monogomous, not demisexual. Very few people are, and expecting your partner to change their sexuality because they're in a relationship with you is unhealthy and unrealistic.
I expect her not to break my trust by actually cheating. I expect her to talk to me if there's some need that isn't being fulfilled. I don't expect to control her thoughts, her eyes, or her desires. I certainly don't expect to fill them all, all the time.0 0 0 0I thought y’all were visual tho? So isn’t it different?
"Y'all?" Do you mean men? That seems like a broad generalization. And even if there's some truth in it, I don't judge my girlfriend for reading steamy romance novels wherein she gets to experience "emotional" attraction, or for liking the way some guy's voice sounds, or whatever. Her actions are what we judge each other on, not our emotions. Women aren't objects and men aren't mindless. I can feel attraction or desire and just... not cheat, not act on it. It's really not that hard. It's as easy as doing nothing.
That's a stupid assumption. I'm well aware that my girl is going to check out and admire other guys, just like I check out and admire other girls. There's nothing wrong with looking, and it's not a problem for me.
0 1 0 0I’m surprised a guy who thinks women are completely emotionally oriented would say this.
Physical attraction generates emotions (not love or even lust, necessarily, but at least appreciation/admiration), so why would there be any conflict there?
If that was the case men would be more emotional.

Nothing wrong with checking other people out. Besides, none of us can help it. Being able to check people out in my relationship has made us stronger together as we've always said "you can look but don't catch feelings/leave" and it's worked for us (been together 4 years now). It works for us.

@Berethor You seem naive af
I think they do, it's perfectly normal.
My girlfriend checks out even other girls.1 0 1 0I notice a lot of girls do that do guys do the same thing?
Yes, it's normal. We are human beings, we have eyes and we look at other people that are attractive to us. Like D'Annunzio said, "Pleasure starts with the eyes".
You'd have to be stupid to think that they wouldn't look. I mean, I look... Why can't she?
0 0 0 0It’s not about “can’t” a lot of y’all just think women aren’t sexual for some reason
Not what I meant in the slightest
I don’t. When I’m in a relationship AND fully satisfied with that relationship, I only have eyes for my partner.
1 1 1 3I think if you have any interest in other people, that’s a sign of dissatisfaction within the relationship and dissatisfaction with your partner tbh. I’d have a big problem with my guy checking out other girls while he was with me, and I expect he’d be just as upset if it were the other way around.
Such a liar. N yea while y’all re with each other is a different story even tho it will still probably happen
The only time I ever paid any attention to another guy while I was in my last relationship was right near the end when I was heavily dissatisfied with him and with the relationship. And I’ve never checked out another guy while I’ve been in my current relationship, because I’m happy. Why would I be scoping out other sexual/romantic options if I’m already satisfied? That makes no logical sense.
Why would yo assume that?
0 0 0 0I think most people do. Ones who don’t it’s probably a bad sign tbh.
0 0 0 0Checking people out is natural and fine it's acting on it thats the problem
0 0 0 0No it’s not you might as well be single. Do you say guys are visual creatures?
No I'd say all humans a visual creatures. Checking people out is just how people's brains work. I'm sure guy's check other guys out and the same with girls. But it isn't necessarily sexual we can all appreciate beauty after all haha
Oh okay, and checking out is sexual.
I have literally watched my fiance and girlfriends before her check out other guys. If you look but don't touch, no problems.
1 1 0 0We all see things that appeal to our eyes in the moment, whether
it be food, an exotic vehicle or
a person. But there's a level of
respect for the person you're
are involved with, the relationship
that you're committed to and a
way to respond with class without making your partner
feel uneasy and threatened.
The hiding, denying and lying
would only reinforce those
feelings of resentment and
insecurities. But to outright
stare at a passing person's
boobs, breast or breaking
your neck to stare at a
backside is a blatant
disrespect regardless
of gender. So, I'm not going
to make this a tit for tat
gender issue3 1 0 0No we know you do, we just choose not to go batshit crazy over it, hoping that is reciprocated
0 0 0 0Lol I check out guys and girls all the time if they’re attractive. That doesn’t mean I’m going to get in bed with them
1 2 0 0I'm lucky, my S/O will bring my attention to check out women she thinks i might be interested to look at. She also likes looking at women, and at guys. We get a good kick out of how we can see the same person so differently.
1 0 0 0I do the same lol
@Warmapplecrumble It's good sport and good for a laugh!!!
Yea a lot of women do
Never met a guy that thinks that, also never heard a woman complain about men thinking women are morally superior to themselves before
0 0 0 0Well there are lots of them on GAG so and I didn’t say that so.
Your probably the exception than the norm. The pic did make me laugh though.
0 0 0 0Sad you think that.
Not really I've read enough of your posts to know who you are.
No it’s sad that u think that
I know they do, just like men check out women
As long as she's not making comments about his body, I don't care0 0 0 0Yea but it’s different and sure
I know they do. Both relationships I've been in we were open about it. Also they looked at women's boobs way more than I did. They would point them out like, "wow. Check her boobs out. That one there."
1 0 0 0Um. I really Hope most men know that every single woman checks out other guys. They’re just more subtle I guess
0 0 0 0Maybe they don't complain because they know.
The stranger question is why women would have a problem with it if they know that they do the same thing.0 0 0 0- Show More (22)
