I had a duh moment... I'm like, surely everyone get looks or at least compliments of some sort... but then I must think that's the norm based on being female.  Women get checked out a lot more than men. My husband says he doesn't get that very often at all. We do talk about that sort. I cheer for him when he does though, because I think that's a good confidence booster... I mean I'm his wife, so I think he's attractive either way ... but nice to get complimented every once in a while... I mean, we need to spread the love... also with women, we spend so much time and energy (and $$) on make up, dress prep and just feels good when we look nice... and I make sure my husband at least matches when we go someplace to eat or something I blame the OCD designer in me...
All guys have to do is put on a t-shirt, shave and bit and go forth and conquer... we have to spend so much money on just make up per year... but I really only wear make up for meetings or "dressing for work" (most of my work is done at home) so I at least feel dressed the part... I like clearer pores and to keep my natural oils |
Aww shucks, thanks Maru
I was just joking though really, although I do think it's a good thing to check yourself out
Some people might see it as an arrogance thing, but it's good to give yourself a bit of a confidence boost. I dunno though, I think you're probably right that it's different for men and women... women are generally judged more by their looks than men are so maybe that's why? Personally though I don't think I really look out for it or notice it much tbh so it's hard to put a number on it, I'll be out with my friends and one of them will tell me someone's checked me out and I'll be completely oblivious to it lol. I reckon it happens to people more than they realise, everyone checks people out when they're walking down the street, we've all done it and then looked away before they catch us
