My best friend Kerri's boyfriend says he might notice a pretty girl now and then, but he doesn't 'check them out' (in the sense that he doesn't proceed to look at butt, boobs, etc). According to him, you'll never see him "drooling". At first I told my friend that this has to be complete b.s., but the more I thought about it, the more I believed it might be true. When a man is in love, does he feel a certain sense of being content that causes his eyes and mind to wonder a lot less?
Also, Kerri is beautiful. Maybe this helps?

I can't speak for my b/f 100 percent of the time, but I have asked by some of his friends what I've done to whip him so bad, because he won't check out the girls they try to point out to him. So maybe there are still some good guys left... : )

Unfortunately it is in the male species to be the hunter. No matter what a great lover, wife, g/f he has--no matter how beautiful she might be--men will look at other women.
Your friend's boyfriend sounds as though he would never act upon any thoughts he might have--he may not even think about it. Some men are constantly looking for fresh meat--and some will take anyone they can get.
The good news is that as long as the man only looks, then gets back to reality, he is normal--Kerri doesn't seem to need to worry.

I hear women with this question all the time. Usually they will later make a comment about a good looking guy. There is a big difference in looking in the candy store window and going in and eating all the candy. If a person is pretty what is wrong with looking at them and appreciating that beauty? Sorry I have never been that insecure. To me this is just another form of the evil jealousy.

I believe it is possible but highly unlikely, I had a friend whom was very devout christian and thought of it as stealing something from his wife if he looked at another woman. But he was still tempted immensely. I think it is in a man's most primal nature to look at women. So he is lying. Lying because he loves her. Kerri probably wouldn't understand anyway, why would he tell her he checks girls out that's insane . It does not mean he's not in love with her at all actually to me it means the opposite.

Very good question. One, that I often think about myself. I was just reading an article the other day (one of those front page Yahoo articles) written by some guy that said:
Men fall in lust about 10 times a day.. And then he went on to say that it doesn't mean anything, etc. But, it is sort of like a radar. And for those men who say they don't, they are lying (or very good at keeping it a secret.)
I am sure that men do look at girls alot, but I also think that girls also look at guys. At least I do. Maybe not in the same way that guys look at girls - like his butt. But, if someone has cool style, hair, etc., I will look. So, I guess I am sort of a hypocrite in a way. If I see my BF looking at another girl (he usually is good at doing it secretly, but I caught him a couple times), I do get really mad. But, I really do the same. I like to think I am less obvious about it though :) Or else, he just doesn't react as dramatically as I do.
So, I think it is natural to look. Some partners are more obvious about it than others. And some do it more than others. I think you friend is pretty fortunate because her partner doesn't seem like a dog about it.

Well his girl being beautiful certainly helps with things. But everyone reacts differently to a good looking woman. I don't drool regardless of being single or not. I'm simply not swayed so easily. But as far as just taking a good look at something they find beautiful and/or attractive. Everyone does that. Men and women. Single or not. It's human nature.
But there's a clear difference between being blatant and rude about and being sensible about it.

I've never noticed my fiancees eyes wander in the almost 6 yrs. we've been together. He can appreciate a good-looking person, but I've never seen him check anyone out. He is very respectful to me.

Men are going to check out women. I wouldn't read anything into it though. Its sort of a reflex on our part. We also check out cars too but it doesn't mean we are going to try to steal one.

Men always notice, the more polite ones are more subtle.

His is either lying or gay.
