Hahahahaha, he is trying to look anywhere but where his brain is commanding him to look!
I used to work with a very attractive woman, and at work, I was all business, but she was very attractive and well put together, and I found myself anytime I had to talk to her looking...anywhere. Thoughtfully at the ceiling, pointlessly at my shoes, whatever.
And she had this unnerving habit when talking to me of grabbing the lapel of her open lab coat and pulling it across her chest as she spoke, a seemingly reflexive moment meant to cover her chest from prying eyes, even as I found myself looking at the ceiling!
I always wondered for a split second if I had been looking at her chest, but I am pretty sure I was always averting my eyes. I also wondered if she was simply picking up on me averting my eyes, and went into cover up mode just in case I got weak, as if in avoiding the transgression, I was sending signals in some way that if I let my guard down, I might be expected to look, and it was triggering her defenses!
I am a happily married man, but...I am a man. When my wife and I are walking hand in hand and a pretty girl passes us, I deliberately avert my eyes out of respect for my wife. Then I feel her squeeze my hand, and I ask innocently “Whaaat?”
She often says “Boy, you really are getting old if you didn’t see that one...”
When I protest, she says “I married you. I didn’t scratch your eyes out. But if you ever do anything more than look...”
The day I stop looking, she’ll have to bury me.
