Man-Ogling, We Bet You Do It All The Time

Yesterday we reported on a survey that claims men spend 43 minutes a day, or almost a year of their lives over a lifetime, eying up the ladies. Great. Fascinating. Not that surprising. Then the study went on to say that us lady-folk stare down our male counterparts about 20 minutes each day, ogling around six different men. To that, I call that bull-s**t! See, what I’m now thinking, after digesting the facts a bit more, is that there’s no way in hell women only spend 20 minutes each day checking out men—it’s got to be at least on par, if not more, with what the men devote. We’ve all answered surveys and we’ve all been known to fib a little here and there (isn’t there a study out there that says women lie during these studies all the time or something!?), whether it was to make ourselves feel better, or to make women-kind look better. Am I right? I say it’s time to come clean on the man-ogling! Women may be more stealth about checking a guy out, and we may not hold our stares quite as long, but let’s be serious…20 minutes of each day? Come on. I’ve seen women on their lunch breaks spend their entire hour outside, pretending to eat their sandwiches or read their magazines while not-so-secretly eyeing every man that passed them by. Not in a I-want-to-jump-his-bones way (well maybe some of the time), but in a, huh-he’s-hot or ha-not-ever sort of way. So ladies, come on, spill it! [Daily Mail]

I’m a hardcore crotch-watcher. I appreciate physique and eyes and all that as much as the next girl, but I can’t help but to glance at a guys crotch. It’s harmless enough, and guys never think to look for it. (they’re usually too busy trying to get a glance down my shirt to notice I’m sizing them up)

I live just outside a Marine base, I could do 20 minutes of *ahem* studying very easily.

eh, I don’t know. I could believe it. I spend a ton of time checking out my BF. But if I didn’t have him at home to oogle? There would definitely be days when I come to work, come home, go to bed, without ever seeing a hot piece to even waste my time on.

I definitely average way above 20 minutes… I walk to and from work which equals about 40 min, and then spend at least an hour in the gym. Plus time spent walking outside at lunch… I’d say I probably put in an hour of oogling a day at least. And lets not even start counting weekends when I go to the bars/sporting events!

I’m sure I at least run my eyes over most of the men I encounter in a day, then of course there’s ogling, sneaky glances, apreciative looks, smiles, flirting…who could possibly get that done in only 20 minutes a day?

I devote at least an hour a day to this during my work out at the gym. What else is there to do there? Besides who can resist a ripped, young hottie in his sweaty work out gear? The gym is, fortunately, all covered in mirrors so you can appear to be running on the treadmill, while actually looking at guys pump iron through the mirrors.
Oh how I love the boys at the gym… If only they knew how I actually keep myself entertained during a work out.

Jesus, I’m not a construction worker. Personally, I can believe 20 minutes or even less, because I have plenty of other things to think about.

I spend the majority of my day on a college campus, and there is *no* shortage of hot bodies to check out. And the best part of wearing sunshades is that no one knows where you’re looking.

@impoddity- THANK YOU! I am a college student, and there definitely is no shortage of beautiful men strutting about! Whew!
I <3 men! Simple as that. I positively adore & appreciate everything about them.
I can easily get in an hour a day of checking out men, I spend that time (and then some) walking to and from class, plus I also go to the gym 3 nights a week. So, my days are pretty much filled to the brim with wonderful wonderful men!

Ha. I’ve only been caught by my boyfriend once. This one guys calves (?) were just too beautiful. I wanted to lick them. I didn’t even realize how deeply and blatantly I was staring until my guy says “Can I have your eyes back for a moment?”
Embarrassing; i felt really bad :D
But those legs were so delicious.

I’m a full-time college student and spend more than twenty minutes a day walking to different class buildings, and almost the entire way I’m listening to my iPod and checking guys (and some girls) out left and right. That’s not even counting the time I spend sitting in the eating or student areas, as well as in class. I think I make up enough ogling for me plus three other women that are a bit behind on their twenty minutes. ^_^

I’m quite sure I spend 20 minutes a day or more ogling—my husband. You ladies may think that makes me boring, but let me paint you a picture.
He’s 1/4 Cherokee. Long, wavy, silky-soft black hair, crystal blue eyes, 30” waist, great ass… Then there’s his voice. He’s got that deep rumble. You know the one, yeah, that. He has those long, elegant fingers too. Watching him work or shoot pool? The precision is infinitely sexy. Put a guitar in his hands? That’s it; I’m done.
I’m not dead, so I am able to appreciate other male forms. Really though, I’d be quite content to stare at my husband for the rest of my life. Thankfully, I’m not the jealous type because otherwise I’d have to kill other women on a daily basis. The best part is he has no idea. He doesn’t think he’s sexy at all. He thinks it’s me everybody’s looking at. lol

I feel so sorry for the firemen when the have to come to the building i work in. They have no clue they are being eye-raped. Nine times out of ten they don’t even find smoke (never mind fire) so i’m sure one of my female co-workers pulls the lever when she needs fodder for her next masterbation fantasy.

@bogart4017: “They have no clue they are being eye-raped.” LMAO! Wow. I wanna work in your office.
I spend at the very least 20 minutes checking out guys/girls. If I enjoy the view, I’m going to look. lol. It’s not like I’m going to be super obvs about it.

I’ve had to give up ogling recently. The other day I looked up from my book to find the 17-year-old lifeguard at the pool standing in front of me and was uh…“happy”.

@majicksand- your husband sounds gorgeous, but I love! how you seem facinated with his fingers. I always check out a guys hands and think long, elegant fingers are so sexy. My friends think it’s so weird. Thanks for making me feel not so silly about finding the less obvious parts of a man to be just as nice.
@bogart- damn, all the firemen in my town, except for two, are all old and fat. At least those two are worth lots of ogling.

@Sofjna: Thank you. My husband is an artist in every aspect of his life, so his hands are very important. It’s not traditional art the way most people think of it. We own a window tinting company. If you’ve ever watched the process you know that each free-hand cut must be precise. The same holds true when he shoots pool. He makes these unbelievable shots that I would have thought impossible. Then there’s his music. He doesn’t play in a band anymore, just at home or the office when it’s slow. I love to sit on our balcony and listen to him play his acoustic. As weird as it sounds, one of my favorite things is when he plays chords on my leg to the radio while I’m driving.
Frankly, the sexiest thing about all of it is the confidence on his face when he’s lost in whatever he’s doing. In conversation he’s completely unassuming even self-effacing, but when he’s working on something he loves, he’s a superstar.
Yeah, I know, I’m gushing. Sorry. I can’t help it. We lost each other for 15 years, then found our way back to each other. We’ve spent nearly 24/7 together for the last year and a half, and I love him more today than yesterday. True love does exist; it is out there.
