And remember, we're talking about those primal instincts still being there, basically, in 2007.<BR/><BR/>As a man, first of all how am I going to feel about you even looking at a man and trying to make a judgment about whether that's attractive or not?<BR/><BR/>It may be harmless, but it's still a red flag, some kind of threat to me keeping you. It's a natural reaction -- a reaction that's wrong in the context in 2007 of how you describe it, but still natural.<BR/><BR/>How would you feel if you saw your hubby gawking at some woman and he said to you, "Look at her (insert body part here)." Wouldn't you feel a bit threatened?<BR/><BR/>And I think the point others have made about homophobia is a part of it too.<BR/><BR/>And, really...I don't look at other men in those terms about whether they're good-looking or bad-looking or otherwise.<BR/><BR/>Why would I?<BR/><BR/>It's kind of like asking my 15-year-old son what he thinks of that 45-year-old woman over there that I find attractive...it's just not in his sphere of thought.<BR/><BR/>He's just not looking there...WithinWithouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05545398587099834271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-60963835313030639242007-02-05T09:45:00.000+08:002007-02-05T09:45:00.000+08:00keshi,

I have my gay friends for that.<br /><br />If they really can't tell if a guy's good looking, then how come they can admit if another guy isn't?Menchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474186474395126654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-16613295820999481052007-02-04T14:29:00.000+08:002007-02-04T14:29:00.000+08:00Men are such homophobes, but really, would you go ...Men are such homophobes, but really, would you go out with a man who looks at other men and tells you while you are on a date: "Hey doll, did you see that man's pectorals?" or "That man has a nice butt." or "I really think Oscar over there has the most beautiful blue eyes and I like how he bats his eyelashes." I would be very suspicious. Men tend to focus on other matters such as another man's car, another man's girl, another man's job, another man's success, but never another man's body or body parts, unless he is a homosexual. And quite frankly, I am fine with this arrangement.<br /><br />And another thing, there is nothing worse for a heterosexual man than to be mistaken for a homosexual. That merits an all out knock out drag out fistfight.Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-88732360866041926122007-02-04T10:50:00.001+08:002007-02-04T10:50:00.001+08:00Harlot,

Honestly...<br /><br />My demanding ex who likes it that i have a huge crush on Angelina Jolie (well she's out-of-this-world sexy and just simply stunning) would NEVER say George Clooney IS sexy, "though he looks great in his age." *rolls eyes*<br /><br />Ok, am falling asleep have to go back to sleep LOL.Harlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729051319150311924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-8147983833597475242007-02-04T09:01:00.000+08:002007-02-04T09:01:00.000+08:00Maria,

That better not include our good friends because they don't count!<br /><br />Marie,<br />That's exactly my point! I find it so weird that they would think like that. I was just telling my hubby that if I heard him gushing over some male then I would find it really weird but not having an opinion on whether some other guy is good looking is just ...you know...weird.<br /><br />Mutley,<br />Hey! Thanks for dropping by! Will your list include Daniel Craig? Because if it does, then I like you already!<br />So you think Steve is sexy?

But in my opinion, men don't have to gush. A simple admission that another guy is good looking would suffice. It's kind of hard for me to accept that they have no opinion whatsoever with regards to how other men look.Menchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474186474395126654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-63207497106164321532007-02-03T06:25:00.000+08:002007-02-03T06:25:00.000+08:00I agree with Caroline.

A double standard that favors women. <br /><br />Women can do all sorts of things that would seem strange if a man did them. For example, women can compliment each other on their shoes, hairstyle, etc. without it looking wierd. Men can't really do that. <br /><br />Also, a woman can take her male child into a public ladies' room, and nobody would bat an eyelash. A man can't really do that with his daughter without it looking strange.<br /><br />JMO....Ms. Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05708956305328177418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-4038808237719705442007-02-02T22:24:00.000+08:002007-02-02T22:24:00.000+08:00Caroline,
