why do men stare at us?

ISN

when I look at a woman
I don't see first her beauty
or how can I bed her because it's her duty
I look past her looks
I don't imagine her naked
I want to see what's inside her
I want to know she's not faking it

When I look at a woman I want her to know
there is more to offer than what is shown
on the outside her looks can seem quite alluring
but it's what's inside her that is ever enduring

Thanks your endorphin rush, I'm amazed how all the response poems rhyme so well....this is a good one......

I was staring at this girl the other night
She was dancing, I was watching
How do girls move like that, its amazing
The rythym they have, I find so attractive
She stared back at me, but kept on dancing
I could think of so many things I wanted to do
So many things I could have said
But I was only brave enough to stare.

Thanks LeaderofMen, that about sums it up - the crazy deranged stare, which can make a girl vain, and also which is so primal in men.....

jennifer had been raised to believe a man should be polite,
yet the stare of this mystery stranger shook her with delight,
it's jen's turn to dance among the stars,
and so she wonders whistfully,
why a man in serch of love,
sensuously battered,
as his previous love left saddened bitter scars,
thus he stares through her beauty with hope's loveliest longing,
to be loved ..
ahh,
yes,
and ..
to love.

Thanks olderman.....we're not just objects when they stare at us are we? we're mysteries...

There are many reasons
why that is the case--
some higher, some heathen,
some noble, some base.
Worry not thy mind,
suffice it to say:
when it came to mankind,
Nature made us that way.

Thanks Travers....last night when I wrote the peom, it brought up all kinds of moral quandaries for me.....it's great that the men have so many different thoughts on it....

I guess love makes the world go round.....:)

men stare at us
what do they see?
do they see more than we are?
are we more than they see?
are we a pair of lips or eyes
or long brown hair?
are we angels in disguise?
why do men stare?

is the beauty of our souls apparent
in the line from cheek to brow?
are we glistening and radiant
and glowing?
is every man an artist
with an artist's eye and taste
why do men stare at us
and look away in haste....?

(I could add more lines - do you think it needs more lines?)

You are very smart.

Nice peom ISN...It seems like it really needs to be answered in order to get them to stick around.

Maybe its just DESTINY and FATE that brings two people together:)

ISN

I don't believe in Destiny and Fate, I put all my trust in God.....I guess you could say I'm disillusioned with people.....but love em anyway.....I was jus thinking, about the strange looks on guy's faces when they're absorbed in staring at us, and what goes through their heads......probably some jumbled up feelings that can't be articulated......thanks for your thoughts Ali......:)......glad I got so many responses to an age-old question......:)

I really like this. I just said to my friend today, "I hate the way men look at me." I like your spin on it, it makes me feel less icky.
