Before we discuss why it is men can't and shouldn't stop looking at women in the street, I'd like to explain about the girl in the miniskirt on the bicycle.
It was the first of the warm spring days that inflated Toronto this week. I was on my way to work on my bicycle. Two blocks from my house, I turned right and found myself 10 feet behind a young woman.
I use the word “behind” hesitantly.
She might have been 20. I am 58. She had long blond hair, and was wearing a short putty-coloured jacket, nude hose – I didn't think anyone wore nude hose any more – and a white miniskirt, trim but straining, tucked primly beneath her.
My first sight of her felt like a light blow to the chest. Her body held my interest, but so did her decision to wear a miniskirt on a bike, along with her youth, her loveliness, even the fleetingness of the six blocks I kept her company – she turned right, and she was gone. We owed each other nothing.
The inevitable backwash of guilt arrived, as all men know it does. I have a daughter her age. I am married but spent several minutes gazing at a pretty girl's backside. I could hear the charges: objectifier, perv, pig, man.
But it was such a beautiful day. And so I decided to spend the rest of it cruising the city, investigating the famous male gaze, to find out just how ashamed we lads ought to feel. These days, with women charging so fast past us, we're happy to feel anything.

It’s called Vitaman D.
I want one of these beauties around the house, Can I place a mail-order?
Thank you, and good morning!
Wow! You have heaped my plate to overflowing. That is one gorgeous girl!
However, that’s just a digital image on a computer screen. My wife is real, good-looking, and close by. She’s going to have to fill in the slack. Now if you’ll excuse me.....

“When they saw her, each man’s knees smote together. Each desired to lay with her”....Homer from the ODDESSEY, when the suitors of Penelope saw her.
***There’s more to it than just pretty girls wearing less clothes. ***
A beautiful girl does not have to wear less clothes to look beautiful (but it helps). I am in love with some of the stunning beauties drawn by Charles Dana Gibson back in the early 1900s.
Great face, eyes, hair, smile; nice figure, great gams, short skirt and hi-heels!
You’re killing me man.. You killing me. :-))
For some reason I can’t breath right.
Sorry ‘bout that. Someone always comes along and ruins a perfectly good thread like this one with THAT picture. Looks like I drew the short straw today. Hope that never hapeens again. It hurt to post THAT pic.
...so here's a dock with a girl and a fish on it.
Ha! Thanks.
What a complete and utterly gelded ninny.
Ladies... I am a fully functional male. While my outdated belief in a certain subset of Chivalry will keep me from being too much of a cad in your presence... Make no doubt that I am checking you out.
Constantly and without a shred of guilt.

Mrs. L and I have a deal. “I don’t care where you get the appetite, just make sure it comes home for dinner.”
It works for us.
