What I've noticed over the years is a lot depends on HER attitude towards the guy. With most women, a thorough looking over by a pot-bellied plumber will NOT trigger the same emotional response as the exact same looking over by Brad Pitt. Women want to be looked at ONLY by guys that THEY find interesting.
Actually, it depends on if she's in love with the plumber or not. I don't get flattered by the attention of pretty boys.
OK. Now that I think about it, you're right. We get flattered by the attention we get from guys we find attractive and repulsed by the attention of guys we don't. I don't like pretty boys, therefore I don't like their attention. I DO like lumber jack, gasoline-smelling, pipe-smoking, flannel-wearing, gravely-voiced, pot-bellied, no-neck, red necks, thus I find their attention appealing.
That's a first. I've never before managed to find my error of thought before I pressed "Post"! ;-)
