Why do some men just STARE at women?

Question

It really bugs me! And it's not like you have to be showing a lot skin either, they'll still do it. Like you're a piece of meat. I just think it's rude....and don't they realize how uncomfortable it makes the person? Why do some guys do this?

I ask this because I have a workmate who is driving me and the other girls CRAZY with his staring issues. And he's not the only one....

Answer 1

ughhh i HATE that. just like you said we are not meat! But i guess that they are either checking you out or that guy is crazy lol. Maybe he wants to talk to you or your friends but is too shy to do so. But hey, ya never know

have a great summer!

Answer 2

Oh wow, some one stare, poooooor old you, if only there could be some law or something that you could use, hey!!!

Never mind, maybe they might just go blind, and you would have such bliss

If that don’t happened you could go get a gun, carry it so it shows, that’ll do the trick

Answer 3

Because staring at other dudes is g*y.

Answer 4

maybe you have a booger you are unaware of?

Maybe you are overly sensitive to it or maybe he has a problem. Why don't you go ahead and ask him.

We don't know the guy, tell you what have him log in and tell us, that way we will all understand why.

Answer 5

You know you're just bragging...you're the type of woman who pretends to HATE it, when secretly you're flattered.

Answer 6

I suppose that some men may do this without an awareness of how awkard or rude it may seem.  I imagine that this workmate stares at you because you are quite attractive, not to say that it's an acceptable social behaviour necessarily.

When I see a gorgeous woman, I will often have a double-take because of the sheer beauty of the female form, but I make a point not to be awkward or make the woman uneasy.  I certainly don't look at a woman as a "piece of meat" rather as a sexually attractive human being, which I consider within the range of normative human behaviour.

Perhaps this fellow simply is unaware of normative social behaviour and thus he is oblivious to the fact that he's making his co-workers uneasy.

Answer 7

Not all men do that.

Sometimes,it's because they really see them as pieces or meat...sometimes it's not.

It's sad how sometimes you think you have found an all friend, you wave happily and try to draw her attention, and when she turns all angry, you discover that it wasn't her and now whoever that was, is all offended and scared.

Also, ive noticed that some old men stare at young girls cuz she reminds him of a dead family member...a friend of my dad once cried because of that..............or they can stare at your shoes, at a spot on the wall, and sometimes you just think they're looking at you....it's not always in a bad way o_O

But yeah sometimes perverts do that....there are to many people to figure out who's doing what D8

Happends to men too lol, gilrs DO stare at men too, and they stare at me so that i notice and turn and they laugh...lol.

Take care of your friend D:...but don't be too scared :P

Answer 8

Cause' yer so purdy!

Answer 9

I know right, it's really annoying, maybe if you made googly eyes back at them they'd run away lol.

Answer 10

cause they think your hot or pretty and really like you!

or you body shape...

Answer 11

Who knows, maybe thay lack self control.  Women are beautiful creatures.  However I agree with you.  Some guys should know when they are creeping out women and stop the staring.

What do you suggest?  Maybe you can use humor...?  Please good luck.

Answer 12

Fear of being arrested (although it's now possible just for looking).

Answer 13

you are a piece of meat. just like i am, just like we all are. so dont worry about it. its the way human nature is. we are all pieces of meat.

Answer 14

I think that some men have high levels of sexual desire and low levels of sexual success. It's a combination that can foster obsession.  Most men are highly susceptible to visual stimulation,especially in the presence of a young attractive woman-that's the way human beings have evolved. Altogether it can lead to some creepy behaviour but I think you'll have some mixed feelings when you get older and that kind of attention fades away.

Answer 15

why not.

Answer 16

These men usually have no home training and just do not know better when it comes to OTHERS!!!!!!!!

Answer 17

Yeah you go threw this too! I have a coworker that doesn't just stare he grabs my @ss and makes sexual comments. I hate him!

You know what I also dislike. When a guy walks past you and grabs your hips to move out of the way. Like a simple "Excuse me" could have been fine!

Answer 18

The same reason that some women try to brag about their attractiveness by complaining about getting too much attention I suppose.  It's in their nature.

Answer 19

For the same reason women stare at men. He thinks you are attractive. I don't condone the behavior, but both genders do it. Be fair.

Answer 20

I know what you mean.  Its that uncomfortable stare, the one that says I want to eat you alive.....Very annoying.....I usually give them a f--- off look.  That turns them off.lol

Answer 21

Just tell them to stop being so heterosexual.

Answer 22

Because if you wear clothing that shows of your b***s then I'm going to stare at it.  

On another subject; Why do some woman just NAG at men?  It really bugs me!  I don't have to be bitchy either, they'll still do it!

Answer 23

Normally, people should just ignore being stared at.  Oh, sure, there's an aggressive form of baboon behavior intense staring that some jerks like to do to see if they can upset a woman.  But, most staring at the opposite s*x is unintentional.  BUT, as unintentional as it may be, there's a huge commercial thread or issue in human resources right now related to how sick and tired big business is of employees bringing their sexual behaviors into the workplace.  Extraordinary new screening methods are being used worldwide in the biggest companies to weed out job applicants who can't keep their minds on work and who bring s*x into the workplace, including sexism, harassment, flirting, etc. I just viewed a month ago at a conference like eight long boring hours of research video collected in a corporate research project that included "staring" at attractive women during job interview waiting periods.  There are LOTS of those unintentional courtship/sexual/flirting/mating behaviors being screened for so it behooves people to evaluate their professional/ work behaviors if they ever want a professionally paying job, actually, if they ever even want to get past the interview appointment waiting room period.

Answer 24

love that @ss and oh those legs! mmmnff.

Answer 25

Well if the view is good, and you made it so, why do you complain?

Silly answer for what is a silly and oft repeated question.

Oh, and judging by what I observe these days, and what is in the media: women do it to blokes too.

Answer 26

If The women s**y we cant help it lol.

Answer 27

The same reason women stare at men. Well, atleast i do but i don't know about you. But i don't stare like a stalker
