If women saw men as pieces of meat the way men view women, there would be an outcry, from men, of biblical proportion.
Once, 17 years ago, a car full of women drove by me and one of occupants yelled a comment that objectified me. (I ran after the car yelling "Yes!"). That memory is my "happy place," where I go if I am feeling down in the dumps. Always works.
:-D
I know the feeling.
But I do think you're wrong -- for some odd reason that even women themselves don't understand, women pretty much aren't attracted to men themselves. Women are attracted to how the man relates to her, to how he dresses, etc. But not to the actual physical body of the man.
Which makes *no* sense to me, if they're heterosexual. But apparently that's the way it is.
Altho, as I understand it, that is changing some. Younger women seem to be somewhat more interested in the male physique. But previous generations of women just on the whole are not.
Good to know I'm not the only one with a "Happy place".
