◼ Go walking down the street. If you as a guy happen to see an attractive woman, you're looking at her. What you're not noticing is every other woman looking at her - Rush
"How dare she wear her hair like that? How dare she wear a skirt that short, who does she think she is?" Well, I'd offer this opinion based on intelligence guided by experience, and all hell would break loose. I was violating some sort of convention or custom. I know I've been right about this from even before I talked about it.
UK Daily Mail. ◼ The story is from December the 5th, a couple days ago. "When it comes to checking out competition women should not worry about men checking them out -- but women instead. Women spend more time ogling other females than their male partners do." Now, why is that? Okay, do you want me to get into further trouble? I'm not trying to. This is just one of these things you better not be right about or you're gonna be in big trouble. But I'll tell you what's going on and I'll tell you right now whether or not I've hit or scored by virtue of Dawn's facial expressions, the only woman here I can use to judge this.
Women are checking to see if there's any plastic surgery, and if it's any good or not. They're looking for fake boobs. They're looking to see if there's any Botox, any extensions, any liposuction, any plumping. Because women know the tricks, and they're looking for all the signs in other women. And the more attractive the woman, the more interesting the inspection is, to find out if what they're looking at is real or whether it's fake. So they are looking at the construction job. That's right, just like men, they're looking at the surface. They're looking at what's on the outside.
That's true, too. Absolutely. Oh. Oh. That's absolutely true. They could also be looking at the shoes. "Ooh, those are nice shoes. I gotta get a pair." Might be looking at the dress. "Is that Chanel or is that Ralph Lauren?" All of that, yes, that's exactly my point. All of that's going on. And there will also be disapproval. "How dare she think she can wear pumps that high, who does she think she is? Has she looked at her legs? Who does she think she is?" All of that is going on. But men are the ones who get hit on for doing that. Men are the ones that pay the price for this. Men are said to be predators and oglers and inspectors and so forth. I just find it fascinating. It's no big deal. I just find it fascinating.
"University researchers discovered that while men stare at the faces of people in photographs and fine art paintings, women are more interested in looking at their breasts," and that is from the research. "Men, on the other hand, made many more eye movements, scanning the entire image, but paused only to stare at faces." Now, that's conditioning. Men used to look at breasts, too, that's back when men were men. But you don't dare get caught doing that. That's sexist. Now you look at other stuff.
The report concludes men and women are different. Really?
