KM, age 37:
If I'm in the mood to look, I try to look when he's not looking. I never make eye contact. Here's an example of why.
I saw a very attractive man in a outdoor urban pedestrian mall recently. He was clean, clean-shaven, and dressed in khakis and a golf shirt with clean, well-fitting tennis shoes. His hair was a little longish, but also clean. He was seated at a table outside a small cafe reading a newspaper and drinking coffee. I sat nearby to drink my latte and read my paper, and within a few minutes, he had begun exhibiting signs of instability, including yelling at passersby and throwing wadded newspapers. When I asked the security guard in the pedestrian mall about it, he replied that the young man is well-known in the area as being homeless and mentally ill. He's also really good at using the services available to the local homeless population. Since then, I have seen him walking the streets crying, screaming, tearing his clothes and making very odd remarks about others. What if I had made eye contact and smiled? Would I now be singled out? What if he had been dangerous?
Here's another reason why not: our mothers told us that attractive men who want to talk to you in public places can sometimes be Ted Bundy.
So why would we do that? Because we're safety oriented. =)

Im 26. I'd probably give a prolonged glance, and maybe continue to glance and look away until he realized I was looking. There's something about these 'glances', as I call them. I feel like I can tell by the guy's reaction whether or not he's interested.
On the other hand, there are times when I really don't want to be bothered, and I could care less if there was an attractive man trying to get my attention. It all depends on the mood.

I am happily in a relationship for almost a year now, so honestly, I could give a rats a** about the guy. I am 19. And I am so deathly sick of the game, that seemingly innocent girls like you don't even know about. So girls try to dress up really nice to feel sexy and get guys attention. Little do they know, that all they are doing is becoming an eye magnet for guys to have little sexual fantasies about you all day as they see you. And these are graphic undressing sexual fantasies with intercourse and everything!! And I am sick of girls that dress like that, and sick of guys that always have to think about hot girls, like that. Especially when they are my BOYFRIEND!! So, I don't like looking at guys, because to me, if my boyfreind and I broke up, I would probably turn gay, just so I didn't have to deal with male bull sh*t. Men say they can't help it!! Why? Because supposedly every single male does this because it is genetically built into them. And maybe they can't help it. But it doesn't make it any less wrong to do. And me as a woman don't want my man doing this. And I don't want men looking at me this way eighter. So no I wouldn't care about the guy at all, or give him a slightest bit of attention.

I look...why not. Women are just as visual as men are...sometimes even more so since we are the deciding factor in "breeding". This whole attitude that men are the only ones that look, or get whiplash from looking is an age old myth that was brought about by Kinsey and his twisted sense of "sexuality".

23, married 4 1/2 years. Personally if I find a man attractive, I'll do 1 of 2 things. I'll either 1. tell the man that he looks rather handsome today, or 2. I'll turn to my husband and say "honey he's hot".

I go sit next to him on the subway or train, or start talking to him if he's walking by.
I'll just ask him directions or say something about what he's wearing.
I'm pretty up-front when I think a guy is hot.
Guys do that to me (and other girls) so why shouldn't we reciprocate?

I think I would keep sneaking glances at him if he is sideways to me, but if he is walking towards me I would stare directly in his face and keep walking. I would do this because I am bold and want to see his reaction, so may be we could be friends but it depends on how attractive the guy is... (LOL) I am 22

I am a happily married woman but I'm not dead, yes I look and if I like what I see I may linger in that look. If the subject of the look catches me I may look away if they appear to be pleased then maybe I don't look away. But I'll be honest it doesn't go past that look. I'm 37.

I'm in my early forties. I either glance at them or I will look at them and make eye contact. Depends on how attractive they are to me.
