Do you like being stared at?

Ok....I work on a construction site and every time a woman walks by the freak'n job shuts down. Women, do you think this is disrespectful or do you like it? Men, what about you? I KNOW women don't always have this problem!!!

For me I try not to stare because I think it can be disrespectful. But at the same time I'm a guy....I too like to look at the ladies.

What's your take?

    You know, it's just whatever. I workout for lots of reasons but I won't lie and say that one of them isn't to get looks lol. As long as they don't cross a line (certain comments or being too aggressive) then stare all you want.

    I get stared at in the gym all the time. Don't know why but I don't really care lol.

    looking is ok, but to hoot and holler and beat on the side of a truck or not just be polite and say hi is the part that gets annoying. So, don't just stare and don't act like she's a dog and as far as I'm concerned, no biggy. It's going to happen. People people watch.

    I stare.

    I smile if they look back at me.

    I don't whistle or cat call or any of that as usually it doesn't produce a great response.

    smart. It's definitely not a turn on to be treated like a piece of meat and is generally not going to get you introduced to the person, if that was the intent, of course.

    I actually quite like it, as long as the guys are being nice and not rude. I would not like to think I was getting past the age of getting attention.

    If its not total leeching or creepy I think it's pretty harmless and can even bring a wee smile to your face. I think if your non aggressive about it I see no harm in it. Whenever it's happened to me to be honest I've felt like a supermodel all day :)

    I am horrified when this happens..I suppose it is flattering on some level BUT really it makes me want to melt through the concrete. I feel like they see everything negative and I get extremely self conscious.

    Ahahaha. That's beautiful.


    I don't mind staring. But honking while I'm walking is so cringe-worthy.

    I dislike it, because my BDD makes me automatically assume they're staring at me in disgust thinking "Dear God, what is that thing?!"

    I stare....and then lick my lips and flex. Maybe a wink.

    Depends. I don't really care if there's a stare, but there is a line. There is definitely a creepy stare where it looks like the guy has terrifying thoughts. Any comments are uncool.

    I definitely look. I'm a guy. No i'm not staring or cat calling. But yes, I'm going to look. And no, I don't feel the slightest bit guilty about it.

    I think if someone is just "staring" it may make the other person feel uncomfortable regardless of the reason.

    I think if someone looks, likes what they see, looks back and smiles at you, that is sexy and flattering :)

    I mean....if a girl is hot, I'm gonna look...its only natural, I think girls do the same thing. Attraction is attraction.

    I think hooting and hollering is completely different, and I also wont look at women if I'm with my girlfriend out of respect, but its not like she doesnt stare at guys sometimes when with her girlfriends or whatever.

    Give a quick look, the trick is to not act like you have never seen a women before...

    Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun. You don't stare at it. It's too risky. Ya get a sense of it and then you look away.

    I don't mind stares. It's my job to look like people would live to stare at me.
    I send appreciative looks myself to people in good shape. ;)

    I don't like being stared at...i suddenly start worrying about what 5 million things could be going wrong with my wardrobe or something...

    If a guy look at me and smile or something (although that's very rare lol), I smile back and/or say hello. If they stare me down (and I know it's hormones raging) I find it pretty uncomfortable. It can become really creepy though
