Why do feminists lie and claim that guys stare at woman's breasts while talking to them?

I've never seen nor heard of a real flesh and blood guy actually doing this. Are some feminists so vain and, well, stupid, that they can't tell that some people are just too shy to maintain eye contact (so he averts his eyes by looking downward toward the floor), so they (mis)interpret his shyness as something sinister for propaganda's sake?

    Many feminists are really just looking to argue. What they argue about doesn't even have to be completely true, so long as they heard it from another feminist. While I don't doubt that maybe a few guys are stupid or cocky enough to do something like that, most of the feminists I have seen post answers on here often use dramatic over generalizations when trying to make their point. However, their comments are very sexist, and take away from whatever point they were originally trying to make. It reflects poorly on them as a feminist, and feminists as a whole.

    So you think it is feminists who say this? You are seriously trying to make this a political issue? The fact of the matter is that we (guys) like ****. Some guys never learned how to be cool about it, or fail to understand that for some dames it is a turn-off because then they are just a sex object. Not that it is not true in the long run, but women (not just feminists) like to think that you really like them and not just the things hanging off the front.

    I have lots of my boys who really don't give a damn, and have done that. So, are you angry for some rejection and trying to blame the dame? It is not some sinister propaganda, you just want to behave with no sense of cool and are mad. If you want to be successful with women, you need to drop the anger and listen to them.

    Ummm - well, it depends on the situation - in a business situation it is highly unlikely that a man would look at a woman's breasts, but rather he would look at her face to make contact and ensure correct communication.

    If it's a flirting situation, I would expect the odd glance to be part of the deal, since it's all about checking someone out. As I've said before, the face is the first port of call, and a response of character, intelligence and interest (hey - any woman who shows any interest in me must automatically have character and intelligence - circular thinking) leads in to a progressive 'getting-to-know-you' thing that sort of moves along at its own pace.

    I think the accusation of 'always staring at the boobs' is partly a sign of a mental disorder, and partly a sign of having a problem with being a woman in the presence of a man, or is maybe just a cheap grab for the by now infamous 'high moral ground' (wake me when it's over!).

    No responsibility accepted here!

    Igor - tune in "I'm a Girl Watcher, I'm a Girl Watcher......" or maybe Roy Orbison's '"Pretty Woman", followed by The Big Bopper - 'Chantilly Lace"!

    I don't care if its femenists making this claim, or the butch girl down the street. Men do it. Not all men do, and its not always a look at the chest, it can be the a ss, or just their demenour throughout a conversation..

    TRY THIS: you stop at a corner an d jsut stand back and watch,

    when a good looking girl is crossing the street and watch the men in the cars/trucks that go by.. I bet at least 2 will be checking her out. and at least one of them will be a creepy old guy.

    Bragging in disguise.

    In casual conversations, I sometimes drift my eyes to the general direction of the chest, regardless of the person's figure and gender.

    It's not because there's something that attracts my eyes there; it's so that I can be lazy with my head (not having to lift it up) while keeping their mouth at the corner of my vision so I know when they stop talking in case I drift off and stopped listening out of boredom.

    Hehe well many guys i know do that, i mean its just a natural instinct. Im sure there are people who gripe about it and yes it does happen now and then. I mean if a guy didnt do that at least once in their lifetime then their either socially awkward or just too gentlemanly. Truthfully ive been told that girls expect that at times and makes them feel appreciated about their looks. But this is my point of view about this question

  • 1 decade ago

    I've caught a few looking. It's rather unfair to say that all guys do it, as it is also unfair to say that the feminists lie in their claim.

  • 1 decade ago

    Ok...Im not a feminist but I have had guys look ahem...not at my eyes.They were sooo not lookin at the floor! Its annoying and makes me feel uncomfortable. Unless you've had it happened to you you'll never understand. Please dont get mad at "feminists" just cause you don't understand.

    Maybe you should try hanging around straight men then. Actually even gay guys stare at breasts so..

    Maybe you just need to socialise in general.
