DO YOU THINK
THAT CHECKING OUT THE OPPOSITE SEX IS BAD THING OR ARE YOU OK WITH IT? IS IT
HEALTHY? DOES IT HARM A RELATIONSHIP?
I was on a bike ride today with my
friend Adam. We were riding up to Cabrillo Monument in Pt Loma from Del Mar and
were at the turn around/I-gotta-pee spot and I witnessed a young Caucasian male
and a young Latina female enjoying the view up there.
Near us was a very attractive female
runner [who was seriously drop-dead gorgeous] that was doing hill-repeats up
from the “Tide Pools.”
Well the young man just couldn’t
help himself and started “checking out” the jogger. When his girlfriend caught
him – she got REALLY PISSED and said, “…dammit, that’s as bad as
cheating!”
And I thought, “…No it
isn’t!!!!”

Honestly, it’s ridiculous to get
upset by something we are all genetically programmed to do.
If advice websites are any
indication, women around the world wonder why their boyfriends check out other
girls.
Sites like Dearcupid.org, Answers.yahoo.com and Blurtit.com, to name just a few, field these
questions and provide pages and pages of reasons why both men and women
look.
These responses come from real
people. Some of their answers are part of a bigger, evolutionary truth, and some
try to explain away social behavior.
Here’s what the experts had to
say.
Wait for it…wait for it…
The truth is we just can’t help it.
Sure,
both men and women look. But men are driven to look by an evolutionary
mechanism.
We’ve all
seen the dude who rubbernecks while driving to look at an attractive woman.
The guy
who routinely cranes his neck in the restaurant to follow somebody’s form as
they make their way to their seat or to the exit.
We men
are visually based creatures and respond to what we see more strongly than
women.
She
shouldn’t scold you for checking out other women—it’ll just make you more likely
to consider cheating, new
research
finds.
It’s the
idea of the “forbidden fruit.”
Eve did
not eat the fruit because it was the tastiest food available, Instead, Eve’s
desire for the fruit grew because she was not allowed to eat it!
Basically: Here’s scientific proof
that you want what you can’t have.
When you
block someone’s attention to something, it becomes more enticing and you think
about it more, making you more likely to act, researchers explain.
The
results don’t mean you should go and check out every attractive woman, you
slug!
Step 1:
Be a Better
Husband.
FINALLY HERE’S SOME GOOD
NEWS!
Here's
your EXCELLENT new defense the next time your wife or girlfriend catches you
checking out another woman. Let her know you ALSO caught HER checking out the
other woman . . . and that she was being even MORE creepy about it.
--According to a new study out of
England, women spend more time checking out other women than men
do.
--The
researchers monitored men and women's eye movement when they saw another woman.
Men would quickly check out the woman top to bottom, and only take brief pauses
in two spots: Her face and her breasts.
--Women
would check out the woman for a longer amount of time AND pause for longer to
look at her entire body.
--The
researchers say it's obvious why women do it: They're VERY sensitive to any
possible threat to their relationship, so they want to get a complete picture of
any woman who might be that threat.

LINE: Peekin’ ain’t cheatin.’ GIDDY UP!
