I'll just say that in very general terms.
The female body is just 'too much for us' (men).
We are attracted to the female body in a way that ladies perhaps aren't attracted to us (our bodies).
IT is very seductive!
It is very enticing!
I never see women looking at/ogling/checking out/leering (or whatever name one might use) women the way we do.
I've never known women to be voyeurs.
In my opinion, I think that that is how the good Lord made us and just in case that is not the case, then, I have no other explanation for that.
Men will go to work and bring half of all the money they've earned on that particular day and give it to a woman who also happens to be working. The converse almost never happens.
I say this as an African man. We still believe in that 'thing' of being the sole providers. Yes it's changing slowly but it is very common in the part of the world where I come from.
as is usually the norm, men are the ones who act like peeping Toms when ladies are changing or even seated 'badly'.
Now, I am not trying to normalise or justify anything here as appropriate, I am just reporting what happens to so many of us (men) and quite rarely happens to ladies.
In my social circle of friends, men discuss women every other day (or every other moment when we meet). It's part of our lives and I am sure I am not alone in this.
Is it crazy/creepy/insane/inappropriate?
Well, I don't know.
All I know is that it happens to virtually every man that I interact with.
That said, I don't spend my time here talking about women.
