Why can't boys avoid staring from other girls?

The usual scenario is whenever I'm talking or whenever I'm with a guy if there are girl/s coming, they can't resist staring at the girl/s. Why is that so? Most of my boyfriends in the past would tell me not to wear sexy clothes and then when I obeyed their rule but when they see a girl, they just stare at the girl.

i thinks staring at girls decreases my image in their mind and in my own mind also.... and another thing is actually i think it is a rubbish thing ...... if u really like any girl then u should try to have a chat with her but should not stare her.......thats my thinking and its not compulsory that u should agree with that...... happy mylotting.....

I don't see anything wrong with staring to other girls. I'm a boy and sometimes I can't resist to stare to other girls. But my girlfriend don't mind it. I think you'll just have to admit that boys will always be boys. And staring at other girls doesn't mean a boy will leave his girlfriend.

I think it's kind of obnoxious. Boys shouldn't warn their girl to wear simple dresses if they doesn't want other guys to stare at their girl.

I kinda agree with eLsMarie but I don't agree with the part that we decide what our partners gonna wear. She has his own mind so its still up to her what she wanted to wear. If other boys are going to stare then go ahead. Its only staring. For panying yep agree with you. Its the same with girls. They will definitely stare at other boys if they find them attractive.

I think it's quite a common situation. Boys stare at other girls shows that these girls are very attractive. You can also see the phenomenon that girls sometime also stare at handsome boys. So I don't see anything wrong with staring to other girls.

Well... it does depend on the guy. There have been times where I looked at a girl that walked by, but I was thinking "I can't believe people wear so little. Does she know what type of guy is going to be attracted by that?" Then other times, I have looked because I wanted to know what her shirt had written on it. Which is very embarrassing when I realize I'm staring at her. Hopefully I catch myself, before someone else does. Then of course, guys do naturally like to look at pretty things. But that should never be an excuse to hurt the feelings of whom they are with. And last... well some guys are just immature and selfish. And really that's all there is to it for some guys. I have a rule that I focus on whomever I'm with. I look them in the eyes, and listen specifically to what they are telling me. Not that I'm perfect by any stretch, but I do try to be considerate. I don't know what kind of guys you are getting with, nor can I tell which of those things above, are what he's doing. What I do know is, if you have to wear sexy clothes to keep his attention, then he likely isn't a good man to marry. He's likely just looking for sensuality, which is why you have to put on provocative clothes to keep him. That's a bad sign. A guy who is interested in sensuality, is a shallow person. Trying to build a relationship on that will always fail because eventually someone else will come alone more sensual than you, and he'll leave. You need to have a relationship built on something more deep than what sexy clothes you have on.

I have eyes to see with and enjoy the beauty this world offers. Part of that beauty is women, but keep in mind, this is only superficial beauty being observed. I also find it complimentary when a guy stares at my girlfriend, or even tries to pick her up. This tells me I have a desirable woman and I can walk proudly at her side. Your boyfriends sound a bit insecure. Just remember, its only natural to look even when it comes to the girls looking at the guys. Were you dressed sexy when you met your boyfriends? Just tell them you want guys to look at you and no matter how you dress they will indeed look.

Please don't get offended when boys do this it's totally natural. Just because they see someone pass by and find her attractive, doesn't take away anything from your own attractiveness. I'm sure you're still the prettiest thing in your boyfriend's eyes. But glancing is not any more wrong than admiring a piece of art like a painting. We are all physically works of art made by God (whomever you call God or whatever your name is for Him or Her). We are all attractive, beautiful and sexy in ways we may all never know. And we are all equal at that. It just takes the right eye to appreciate it. You know what I mean? :) Very interesting, eLsMarie! ++!

Really? I'm glad that it's a compliment. Thank you for having the idea that girls are prettier especially when they become ladies meowcow. I really think that I'm getting a bit insecure. Thanks much meowcow.

Thank you very much meowcow... I'll take that as a compliment. Sometimes, I get to feel like I'm already a bit insecure because no matter how much I fix myself, they'd still at other girls.

You SHOULD take it as a compliment! Cos it was in fact a compliment. I think all girls are pretty, especially when they turn into ladies. Which means they grow into their own bodies and minds and get comfortable with themselves. I just wish most of you knew it more. Maybe you're just still feeling a bit "insecure" because you're still transitioning. I think that's natural, everyone goes through it even men. And there's no age limit on this either! Don't stress yourself too much on small stuff you might miss out on other things! Let the boys glance, as long as you know they are loyal and you can trust them and you are enough then you won't ever have to experience the feeling of insecurity ever again. :) With or without a man!

When ever you are with some guy or with your boyfriend you have noticed that your guy or your boyfriend usually stares at the girls.....its just b'coz your guys and your boyfriends are just the normal absolutely healthy,while those who does not watch or stares at girls are abnormal guys or boys. On the other hand when each and every girls wants their guys or boyfriends not to cheat upon them (or allow any sexy dress)Is the same reason why boys or guys stares at girls. Its a two-way traffic, other wise the whole system will come into halt.Girls are Girls and Boys are Boys!!! the way Girls cannot change their attitude on certain things in the same way Boys too cannot change their attitude on certain things!!! In fact Its the Girls who have got into conspiracy with the nature and brought the Male species on to this earth,by already pre-programming the these Males in their wombs,and therefore the Girls/women have to comply with the truth......after all its the Girls or the Women who are the creator of this creature known a Male gender,for their own protection,comfort,life's partner,friend,and what's not.

Dear eLsMarie,I think when the boys stares at girls that's the best think which each and every Girl/women likes the best,its the best appreciation that a women can have and the boy/males can provide. Nature have created both the genders in this way and therefore instead of putting stress to our brain we all should enjoy the moments,which is the first step towards the future of our mankind on this Earth,Which is the biggest and the most Important Gift by the nature as well giving back to the Nature by we human being.

I have to agree with you rocket2020. I have to act in a mature way so that my boyfriend doesn't get discouraged. I will practice avoiding stressing myself. Thanks again rocket2020.

hello elsemarie, because they can't. it's part of being a human animal for boys to be attracted to girls.and there's nothing wrong with that unless the boy is actually gay, there's still nothing wrong with that. well, because you're ex boyfriends wanted you to be kept from being looked at by other boys now most specially if you already have a relationshipo\

I seldom do it. The problem with me is, I'm not fond of staring at other people because it's as if like I'll be having a stiff neck later on.

I don't like how guys think. They tend to act so immature. I don't why it has to be in their nature. They shouldn't warn girls to stop wearing clothes that their most comfortable of wearing.
• Philippines

Yes we should let our girlfriends wear what they are most comfortable with. But I think its not just in boy's nature. Its in all of us. You also tend to stare at other boys you find attractive right?

Hello there Guys are usually looking for the prettiest and intelligent girls around. When they spot one they think of ways to get them. However they just have a quick look at the girls to check them out to compare and know which one is the best one around. Any kind of girl arouses guys for a moment and then vanishes at that same moment also. They just say that because they think they can control what the girls wear or whom they talk to and so on. They are very possessive and i am sure some girls are also very possessive of their boyfriends.

He is possessive. No matter how he denies it, he's really is. My friend told me once that boys would admire a lot of girls but at the end of the day, they'll only think about the girl that they love.

Usually you should allow your boyfriend to look at other girls because this way you will be sure about his sexuality.However there are some borders which he must keep so try to remind him about something like that

Yah that's right i am a gal i hate when guys really stare at you from top to bottom it feels that they took off your clothes it is so annoying. Why just men stop doing what the are doing, but i respect with those guys who resist the temptation to stare at women. I take off my hat for those guys out there!

whats wrong with staring at girls? i mean i do it all the time and its not like theres anything wrong with that get what i mean? also like girls always stare at guys so its not a big deal is it who cares if guys stare at girls its their choice to do whatever they want so like you should just leave them alone when a girl walks by there isnt anything wrong with staring if youre jealous that guys are looking at other girls instead of you thats too bad for you

I never said that it's wrong. I'm just asking to why they were doing it. It's not like I'm judging them. Why were you so affected? You sound like you don't have any manners? Too bad you can't control your emotion. We don't really have to debate about this. I respected every opinion that my mylot friends were giving me.
