I know that men look at other woman and I also know that women definitely look at other men but there is a distinct difference between a quick glance and a flat out disrespectful, lustful, head to toe, more than 3 second stare. I’ve been dating someone special for about 10 months now. I’ve noticed him on several occasions looking at other women in my presence but the most recent episode while leaving the movie theatre struck me to pose this question. Is staring at the opposite sex in the company of your date, boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancé, husband or wife disrespectful or should it simply be ignored? In the past, it really didn’t bother me because I’m successful, I’m confident; I believe that I am an attractive 29 yr old African-American female and I am a model for crying out loud. I understand that pretty woman capture his attention from time to time and that was me about 10 months ago. I hope and pray that I am still “The One” but needless to say, we ended a nice night out at the movies with an argument and we haven’t spoken in more than 24 hours now. His roaming eyes even caught the attention of my brother and his girlfriend who accompanied us at the movies. I was embarrassed, I felt ugly (temporarily), and ended up very angry. So I ask again, is staring at the opposite sex in the company of your date, boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancé, husband or wife disrespectful or should it simply be ignored?

No, it should not be ignored. Its really disrespectful. You deserve someone who only has eyes for you, when you are out with them. Its human nature to look at another person regardless of sex and mentally think they are cute, well dressed, etc. But to down right stare and head to toe is not having any respect for the person they are with. God, if your not even married yet, think what it would be like after the new-nes of marriage wore off. he sounds like a jerk, you can do better. What ever you do, don't back down from how you feel because your feeling are right.

I agree with what you said about the 3 second stare. A quick glance is ok, but anything more is rude and disrespectful. Especially if it's bad enough that other people even notice.

It's typical human nature to stare at the opposite sex, but when in the presence of your sig. other, it should be done DISCREETLY. him being obvious is just flat out disrespectful. Talk to him about it and best of luck :-)

I don't ever think anything of that!! the old saying I aint dead yet!! so what if someone looks and fanticizes a little bit!! If the look was with the expression "don't I know u from somewhere"?? And it soon passes just a look, big deal so what & who cares. If a person looks for issues they will be there.

It is disrespectful in my eyes but impossible to keep from doing. In order to deal with it what I did was make a game out of it, my hubby and I critic people that might have caught one of our eyes. Pointing out someones flaws sure makes it easier on me anyway. Good luck and I hope you two make up if that's what you want.

Its simply becoz you just had an argument and he might be thinking of a way to hurt you or make you jealous. Make sure you two get along with each other very soon, and kindly ask him that his behaviour makes you hurt & he'll listen to you if he really loves you

observing casually and in a subtle manner? Perhaps. Anything else...pure disregard. You sound as though you get plenty of notice yourself. You need not endure the slight...

Staring is WRONG. No matter who is doing it. He is just an idiot and needs to quit it! My husband NEVER does that, though I know he likes to look, and I do too, but I never do it when I'm with him. Love is more important

Yes, it's disrespectful. Find someone with some manners.
