Do women always like getting looked at

A girl got on the bus yesterday, probably in her 20's. She was alright looking but she had a pair of denim shorts on and a pair of dark blue tights. She sat a few rows in front of me on the opposite isle and sat crossed legged. I was reading a magazine but kept trying to discreetly look at her legs and couldn't help thinking she could tell.
So do most women like to be gawped at?

 

No.

 

No, I hate it.

 

only if you're good lookin

 

in all truthfulness hes right , if a guy i find good looking and im intrested is staring ,its flirting , but if im not intrested, its creepy. sorry but true

 

Girls who leave the house each winter morning dressed like this, sure




But then, not every girl is that stupid.

 

Getting whistled/called at by random dudes driving by in a car isn't what I call flattering... really it's quite irritating.

 

Girls who dress like that, probably. Others, can't say for sure. Hell, I'd gawk at her purely for her horrendous sense of fashion, who the hell wears tights with shorts in this millenium? I think I might have "experimented" with that look once or twice when I was 11 but quickly realized how ridiculous it looked and never did it again.

 

I actually like to wear tights with shorts thank you very much.

 

Unfair to take offense. You are automatically exempt from any fashion rule and may wear whatever the hell you like, as long as it's almost nothing

 

i can't see if they looking or not but i don't think i'd mind being looked at... just don't touch! i don't like being wolf-whistled at, if it's me they wolf-whistling at....

 

Absolutely not. However, if the guy gawking is someone I'd be interested in, than it is less irritating.

 

I would think that while even if you found the “looker” attractive or someone you are interested in, the fact that you are being purely objectified as a “possible” outlet for sexual release or frustration must be disturbing, offensive, and highly demeaning to you as a woman who is so much more than an object, toy, fantasy or target. I hate when I see men leer at women or try to devise ways to “peek” up their skirts or down their blouse. I am not sure what to do with the idea of beauty and the human body but shouldn’t we view the Other in relation to her presence as an agent of freedom and subjective empowerment? I know some will argue about the way a woman dresses she “deserves” or wants to be looked at. That is just more patriarchal bullshit. No woman asks to be leered at, to be mentally undressed, or stared at in a way that makes her think a guy is mind-raping her. Sure we have all witnessed the accidental flash or slip of some body part but for men to go out of their way makes me think that we are nothing more than a society of closet or potential deviants. I know for me that when I see you many attractive women I am more turned on by your intelligence, ability to carry yourself with confidence, and your hunger for life. Those are the things I want on display as for your body you show it to whom you want to and No one has the right to consume it under false pretext for masturbatory purposes.

 

even if a guy is someone I could be attracted to, the minute I see him gawking at me he goes down on the attractive scale about 100 notches. I just know when i see a guy looking at me up and down that he's picturing me without clothes on...thats freakin' creepy. if i see a guy studying my face and not my body, however, that can be a turn on.

 

Not all eye contact is created equal. Some looking is ok,
but oggling for an extensive period of time sets off some bad signals.

 

It all depends on what kind of looking it is. If I see someone really good looking, or who is dressed in something I like, whether it is male or female, I will give them an appreciative glance. On the other hand, if someone is just completely leering at me (which doesn't happen that often) then I really really do NOT like it.

 

I'd say that if you want to let a girl know you're interested in her; if you make eye contact with her, just smile, and if she returns the smile then she becomes much more approachable.

 

I say follow her home and leave a dead animal on her doorstep shile she's asleep.

Peace Out,

I think most women would say they don't like it.

 

It depends on the kind of day I'm having. I don't mind guys looking at me or being flirted with its really flattering. Except this one time I was waiting to catch a bus at a bus stop and these guys stopped their car and were all yelling and offered to give me a ride. I wasn't impressed with that....I'll take the bus, thanks.
