KAT	men loOK at women just as women look at men. but there is a line that should not be crossed. if either look in a flirtatious way or if driving should loose control for a moment then that too much. so to answer no its not ok. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ellenoid	Unfortunately, I think this is normal... but only to an extent. I hate when my boyfriend comments on the attractiveness of other women, but I also realize that I'm not the only attractive person in the universe, and it's ok to notice that other people are beautiful in their own way -- as long as he isn't comparing my beauty to theirs. (Unless, of course, he finds ME more attractive! ;) On the other hand, if he was gawking at other women, I promise you, I wouldn't be dating him. That would make me very self conscious and feel that if he was still "looking around" even if it was only superficial, he wasn't fully satisfied with me. I've told my boyfriend, "I know I'm not the only "attractive" person out there, and I know that it's natural for you to notice the beauty in other women. But when you comment on a girl's beauty and say things like "she's pretty cute" or "this girl was the prettiest girl in the whole school. All the guys wanted to date her" (and there is NOTHING wrong with this, don't get me wrong!!), it makes me feel like I've got competiton and I don't like that. It makes me feel like I'm not pretty to you, and I should be made to feel that I'm the prettiest girl in the world to you." I mean, think about it, if my own boyfriend is comfortable in the relationship and "forgets" to tell me I'm beautiful, but has no problem seeing it in other women... it makes me feel unattractive. To this he replied, "Ellen, seriously. Competition? What are you talking about? So what, you think I'm going to dump you for someone else? Seriously, don't be stupid." Now, this wasn't mean. This was meant to be reassuring, letting me know that I had no reason to feel that way. He followed it up with someone dumb like, "Well, I'm dating the most beautiful girl in the universe." Come on, talk about cheesy. It's ok to sugar coat it a little, but he was totally lying. ;) He also told me that his admiring other women's beauty in no way detracted from my own. So if your "married man" is looking elsewhere, I would sit down and have a serious little "talksie." Tell him what I just said. Tell him you know the world is full of all kinds of people, and there are absolutely pretty women out there. He isn't going to act like he's blind. But you need reassuarance that his gawking doesn't indicate that he's less interested in you. Tell him that he needs to be focusing more on YOU, making you feel that you're the pretty one, you're the most attractive one to him. Not some half-dressed bimbo passing him on the street. After all, he married YOU, did he not? (I'm assuming you're married, if not, this is hypothetical) If so, it is his duty to ensure that you feel well loved and well taken care of... and that you are the most beautiful creature in the world. You shouldn't have to worry about him rudely staring at other women. Guys are "stupid." Sometimes you just need to spell it out for them. Literally. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

astonite40	Definitely ok. Nothing wrong with that at all. Problems can arise if he touches though. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

basketcase88	Well, there's nothing wrong with looking. Like my hubby says, "just because I've already ordered doesn't mean I can't keep looking at the menu!" However, if he's losing control of the car while looking, you might suggest he keep his eyes on the road, before he gets in a wreck, and then he gets to deal with higher insurance rates, etc., etc., etc. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Voice of Reason	it happens anyway. that would be a really bad explanation for a crash. sounds like you were in the car with him. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

misscancer08	Hell not that is not okay!! Don't let him make you think it's okay cause it's not! And an easy to to find out if something is okay or not when it comes to relationship stuff or not. Ask yourself do you feel comfortable with it or not. If the answer is no, then say and do something about it. Let him know what he does and how it makes you feel. No matter how he feels, he should respect your wishes and not continue to do whatever the problem was. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

eagledreams	All marrieds male and female look.......and why not.....it is the don't touch bit that matters. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Laibach	losing control of the car is no good..... I don't even look for that long. But it's perfectly fine. Telling a married man that he can't look is like telling a fish that it can't breathe underwater. There's nothing you can do about it. It's in our nature. Don't pretend that you don't look at other hot guys in an admiring way... The philosophy for married couples that I would live by would be "look don't touch." Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

michaelR	I don't see why not. I let my girlfriend look at other men who she finds attractive. I think I would be arrogant to say that I am the most attractive in the world, which I know I am not. So, as long as she does not do more than staring it's fine. The same goes the other way around. I look at other attractive females too but not more than that. There is a limit to it, of course, in terms of for how long that person is staring without being disrespectful to wife or husband. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ANGEL1	Suppose its a "MAN THING" like everything else that they do that we dont like or understand - not very nice thing to do if you are in the car with him tho - If you are in the car just have a good look at some guys when they pass - HE wont like it!!!. . Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

D B	a liitle glance is normal - losing the control of the car is ridiculous and says he is either trying to wind you up or a bit of a loser. Nothing wrong in glancing but anything else shows lack of respect for you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

love<33	Anybody can look, but looking hard enough to practically lose control of the car is a bit too much. I'd be upset if that happened to my husband. But, as long as there are no actions taken - then I guess there's really nothing to be upset about. Just let him know that it bothered you - and I'm pretty sure if it were the other way around (you looking at the man) he'd be pretty upset too. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Very happily married.	My partner would be a hypocrite if she thought it was wrong for me to do that. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Crissie	lmao, ya silly bugger! all blokes look at women in an admiring way its their nature, u think women dont look at men the same way?? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lord Charles	Perfectly normal. It's when he starts ogling other men that you need to get concerned! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Crypt	I would say yes except for the nearly losing control of the car part. Nobody should be so distracted by anything that they lose control of the car. That is putting too many lives in danger. However, minus that part, I'd say it's fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dory	I don't see anything wrong in looking as long as they don't touch. I am a married and I have been known to look at a good looking man. It doesn't mean I love my husband any less. So it goes both ways. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kc	To that extent? I'm afraid not! He's a complete idiot! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Platobeenz	Married men are not allowed out by themselves. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Global Surveyor	Look but don't touch. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Away With The Fairies	It would be very dangerous if he didn't look out for other women while driving! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MikeTwo	It is normal for a person to look at the opposite sex if they are good looking. It is not NICE to look at an attractive person while DRIVING A CAR and causing an accident! That shows lack of respect for the people outside the car and in. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tx_earthangel	I see men do it all the time, however loosing control of the car is not a good thing. I would make it clear that while you don't mind him looking, focus on what's really important like the road. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Henry M	yep your never ever ever gana find a man who doesn't look at other women in less hes a bit camp. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

duck_fook2000	I would not strain my neck, but I do enjoy a nice looking woman. There is nothing wrong with looking! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

suzanne g	No. They all look, but they should learn to do so in a way that doesn't insult the wife or cause a wreck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
