I'm writing this article on behalf of my sister, as it is a topic that is really annoying her at the moment. I think I have touched upon it many times before, but it is still something that annoys me, so here goes.

My sisters fella likes women. He enjoys the female body. He likes looking at them, he thinks the female form is there to be appreciated by men the world over. In his opinion the female body, in all different kinds of shapes and sizes is beautiful, and is there to be looked at. So he has no problem in looking....and looking....and looking, obviously just showing his appreciation for the female form. My sister has a problem with this. She doesn't think he should be looking at women. In her opinion, on the odd occasion, if a woman turns his head, that isn't a problem, but when it is every single woman he comes into contact with, it is a problem. It is something she confronted him on, and he doesn't think it is an issue. In his opinion he is simply enjoying the female, as every male should. So is this wrong?

When my sister first mentioned this to me, I was quite amused, and just laughed it off as typical male behaviour. It's what men do, right? There is afterall no harm in looking. Ever since she has brought it up though, I have taken a little extra notice to this behaviour, and he does do it alot....I mean ALOT. Considering he is my sisters fella, I can see how this would annoy her. What gets me is his reasoning for it. For some reason that winds me up more than anything. You need to 'appreciate' the female form, by staring at her with your eyes popping out of your head, your mouth open, and drool dribbling down your chin, do you? Oh how we love to be appreciated like that! I just find it all a little patronizing.

Having said that, women do it too. I am not innocent of 'appreciating' the male form. I watch football and appreciate all them tight little bums running around the field. There are there to be looked at though.....hehe. I have to say women don't seem to be as obvious about it as men, we don't seem to stare at every man walking down the street, and make them feel like a piece of meat. Maybe it is because men and women appreciate each other in different ways. Maybe we look for different things, and we are attracted to different things, and therefore we behave in different ways.

Lets take a moment to think about the female form that is getting appreciated. When you see a pretty girl walking down the street, and she turns your head, do you think that's the first time it's happened that day? Second, maybe? Third? Lost count.....maybe. Speaking as a woman who has experienced this behaviour....I don't like it. Now I know women who love it, thrive on it in fact. If they don't get stared at whilst walking down the street, they think something is wrong. I just don't like it though, I hate feeling like a piece of meat. I hate it when men stare at my boobs. I do have a face, ya know! You can walk down the street, and you can see mens heads turning, like they've never seen a female before. I just don't like it at all. It isn't like they are looking at me and thinking, she looks like she has a good personality, or she looks trustworthy. You know what I mean? It's "look at the tits on that", kind of thing. I just don't like it.

I don't think that we can change this behaviour. There is always going to be people that look, and those that don't. I don't think there is anything wrong with appreciating women, and how they look, just remember there is much more to us than that. We bite
