Men and Women tell it like it is – or – theories on cheating and checking out the opposite sex

I would like to apologise to the man who nearly drove his bike his bike right off the seawall along False Creek yesterday. I’m so sorry that you and your overgrown, steroid popping friends couldn’t read the clearly posted signs that said you were in the WALKING lane. I’m also sorry that when you finally realized you were about to run over my young sons and I, that my ample bosom in a tank top distracted you to the point that you inadvertently steered right for the water in your efforts to get a closer look. Did you hurt yourself? Awwww…. poor baby.

Not!

According to the self proclaimed “bad boy”, Steve Santagati – an aging model with thinning hair who runs his own “Bad Boy” website  http://www.askstevesantagati.com/   -  this is completely normal male behavior. This guy has quite the ego. My husband and I caught a segment on 20/20 a couple of nights ago,  http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=5380175&page=1 , that explored Steves theories on why men cheat, look at other women, and feel compelled to perpetuate their seed far and wide.  I simply am unable to refrain from commenting on this.

In reference to womens breasts, Steve says, ” “Everything inside of us, all of the blood running through our veins, is going ‘look, look, look.’ We cannot NOT look at a woman’s chest. We have to physically try not to.”

Ok. This seems to be true, but really, there’s a time and a place. Steve tells it like men see it, so let me tell you how women see it.

 Men are the masters of peripheral vision, eyes seeming placed inside your heads on rotating stems that allow you to scope out all the breasts and bottoms around you without offending the wife, girlfriend or date at your side. We (women), know that you ( men), are looking at our breasts. We know exactly which woman you are going to check out, and when. We know that the long haired brunette jogger with the perky mounds of bouncing flesh coming towards us on the path is going to cause internal conniptions to your man parts. We also know that the chick in the low cut, form fitting jeans bending over in the grocery store aisle , displaying her curvaceous bottom is like a target for you.  Yes indeed , summer is a wonderful time of year to be a man with breasts, bottoms and legs on display everywhere for you.

Hello!!!! You aren’t fooling anyone.

I’ve been on the receiving end of such behaviour, and have also received the icy glare from the wife on your arm as she watches you, watching me. Like its somehow my fault that you are looking at my boobs.  Want some advice to keep it all happy on the home front ? Don’t check out other women when your wife/girlfriend is with you. She knows you are doing it, and it makes her feel bad, like shes not enough for you. You probably have enough time alone during the day to ogle other women all you want, so give her the attention when you are together. Enough said.

Now its time to look honestly at the other side of the equation – women. 

Lets be honest now, ladies. Married, dating or single, women buy their clothes and dress for attracting men.  So, in that regard, we are somewhat to blame for perpetuating the behavior of men. When we buy a new pair of jeans, the first thing we do is turn around in the mirror and check out our ass. If the jeans don’t make our ass look completely hot, they aren’t making it to the till. Whats that about?  We certainly cant  even see our ass when the jeans are on,why should it matter ?  I’ll tell you why - men. Because we are  very happy in the knowledge that our round booties are causing men grief as we shimmy through our day.  That’s honesty for you. I know I’m not the only woman on earth that turns around and checks out her ass in the mirror before I leave the house, and my husband has even caught me doing it, which creates a ripple of laughter as he shakes his head at me and says” Yes babe, your ass is still hot…! “

And I’m not saying I do this anymore, but perhaps in my single days it occurred once or twice….and I see other women doing it all the time. That subtle, innocent, eye contact thing, that little flirty look women give men just to se if they can catch their interest, even if we don’t really want it. Women are as much into conquest as men are, we just don’t go around bragging about our ability to reel you in. We just like to feel like we’ve still got ” it”.

And for those men who think women don’t go around checking out guys – we do. We are just much better at it than you are, therefore we don’t get caught as often… And we are much more creative about how to get our daily ogling in. You might think we are watching sports with you to get more  time with you - NOT!

 Let me assure you that one of the biggest reasons women watch sports is all the man-candy. Porn?  We don’t need porn,  we have…..Football?  Yes, you heard me, football.  Mmmm, hot sweaty men in tight pants  tackling and grabbing each others butts for a couple hours- what could be hotter than that? You can have the cheerleaders.

Tennis? Yeaaaah, babay !  Rippling muscles on ravishingly hot men dripping sweat in thin shorts that reveal all…..  ok ok, you get the picture. Its all good,as far as we’re concerned, and we are doing it right under your collective noses.

I exaggerate , I’m sure, but you get the idea. It works both ways sometimes, but it would sure be nice to meet in the middle… While you, sir, are checking out the cutie at the next table, your wife just might be eye flirting with the sexy bartender. See what I mean?

 Life is too short to keep thinking the grass is greener on the other side, when the grass you do have already looks like a masters golf course.

  1. Lovely post. Please add my email address to your list and email me the updates if possible. I always like to read your blog and comment on it.

  2. Give me a break lady! This is such ego talk. Steve is correct, it’s weak women who love to clim that they do it much better to massage their ego! You guys get caught just as much (Guys act as if they don’t care, but they do). When you put makeup inside your car at an intersection, look at your butt in the mirror you are trying to grab as much attention from every guy. So cut the advice crap and get real. I’m tired of the pseudo moralist nonsense.

    You are a prime example of a whiner who appears to be logical. Also, men have had a head start and that’s why we talk openly about cheating, looking, staring etc. Women have been taught to act as if they are moral elites, but they are really no better at this game. Time has proven that women are becoming just as cocky and open. So cut the crap about you guys doing it so much better.

  3. So, RR , what you are telling me is that men and women are really not so different after all, and that we are catching up to what is considered male bad behavior? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander , it seems.

    The sad thing about all of this discussion, is that we are never happy with what we DO have. You can see the most gorgeous woman in the world on a mans arm, but he might be looking at the woman across the street. Same goes for the woman whose husband is gorgeous, but she flriting with the checkout boy.

    The games people play……
