Is It Normal for Men to Ogle Women?
Guys, do you have Wandering Eye Syndrome? Well, it really isn't your fault.
In one-fifth of a second, the male brain decides whether a stranger is attractive. If she is, his pupils dilate, his heart rate spikes, his testosterone surges and his eyes assume a vacant stare.
And it's all completely involuntary and natural, says brain researcher, neuropsychiatrist and author Louann Brizendine, author of "The Male Brain."
Brizendine also says men are more visual, more driven to s*xual pursuit and more predisposed to cheat than women.
“It's a reflex that's built into the brain circuits,” she told the Toronto Star. “At its core biological basis, it's unfair to criticize men for that initial unconscious circuitry.”
Brizendine has a good point, and as we've gotten older and (a little) more mature, we've become more forgiving of our guy if his eyes glaze over a hottie passing by. As long as he doesn't SAY she's hot, we're OK with it.

well you see now that man cannot be controlled. this is how he is made. this is nature. any woman tries against that she makes man very unhappy.
We are all human and have a "concience" and as adults can decide how to use this, if we want to.
I dont buy into the myths "oh hes a man" "he cant help himself" bs..
If a man is "really" in love with his wife or girlfriend, he wont ogle other women while his girlfriend is with him..
He probably would do this when she isnt around though..
If a man or woman doesnt respect her partner, then he or she isnt "really" in love with them..
Sorry but just because some doctor decides he likes to oogle other women and is looking for a excuse to do this, does not mean it is total facts..
Scientists and some doctors do not accept the fact we all have a "concience" and can do what is right..."if we want to", its what separates us from being a animal.
Animals do what feels good to them, humans are suppose to know the difference between right and wrong..
The animial instint.
Man going back to the cave times have always looked at other women.But there was no need to pull our hair.
I am just thinking that men were made to be Pologamists.True.
You just can't be with the one women.you may very much love a special women but you are all Pologamists.(Excuse Spelling)
I understand men a lot more these days.Women then go and have affairs to be vendictive.Just my oponion.
well am totally agree with you..men must control this desire when they are with a woman...well the women Jealousy is a nature too.
us women can oogle men in front of you guys and do much worse if we "choose" to do it. AND most mens egos cannot handle a woman doing the same thing to them ..
men "can" controll their urges,just as well as women can "if they choose" to.. its why we humans were born with a "concience"... Stop using your hormones for a excuse to do what feels natural and then maybe you will find a soulmate.
you go against nature, u will distruct yrself with yr modern way of thinking..as i knew you how fun you are ..i was waiting for a nice solution for this problem...something like ..men wearing a big and dark sun glass when they are with a women.
well the Jealousy of men and women is quiet deferent.
The men Jealousy is something lik filing Attackt to his Ownership....whats women looks you think?
What cant you understand?? Us ladies can ogle..We have hormones and maybe if all this "modern" ideas of how men cannot help themselves to ogle is because of their hormones, then all I can say is so do us ladies..We have hormones too..Heck lets just have a free for all and everyone who dates can Ogle other people while with our date??
Ok this one just for you dear mate.
All I am saying is, ya its normal for ANY human, male or female to look at a attractive person, BUT as humans with a concience, we can controll our selfish urges.
As far as men getting jelouse because they view a girlfriend as their property is just plain ridiculous..No one is anyones property, we dont own our spouse..If we really love them, we can show respect while out on a date with them..
I dont buy into this hormonal excuses..We can ogle people in public when were not with our spouse, but to do it in front of our spouse is just plain "rude" and disrespectful towards their feelings.
Kamrati, thnku hehe i recognise myself abit in that positure..

Thanks for your nice comment.
If your guys do not look at other females, then you should be concerned...
whoever says otherwise is simply in denial... P.E.R.I.O.D!
