I wonder then if a mans partner, upon spotting a young beauty herself then deliberately watches her man closely to see where his eyes go, asking for trouble and spoiling for a fight over what a man is helpless to resist?

A favorite line of mine that I keep in my back pocket is perfect for this type of "careful where you step there are landmines everywhere" situations.

"Don't blame me! Blame my gender!"

Generally women will see right through the deflection. But they accept you for your failings and will probably spare you from the chopping board.

Mate, you need a distraction for your wife next time.

An old Army technique employed in nightclubs would be just the ticket. It's called, "Taking a grenade for your mates."

The concept is simple. If your mate is interested in a really pretty chick, you "take the grenade" by chatting up her ugly friend so he can make his move.

Now I don't condone this behavior at all, but if you want to honor your wife, then don't make her feel bad by blatantly double-taking in front of her. Either that or don't do it at all.

I am just as guilty as the next bloke and it's a hard habit to break after years of not even caring what my GF/wife thought. I just used to tell her it is natural and get over it, if I stop looking then you better start worrying.

I was going down some bad paths like that in my younger day. Hopefully I am improving....

Baz.

Leon, you are not a dirty perv!
My wife and I have a saying. "You can look through the butcher's shop window, but you must buy your meat from home".
It is perfectly natural to look and double look - from my experience women do it but they are much more descrete!
Look and live!

Matt,

that's interesting. If you read Alan Pease's books about the physiological differences between men and women, he tells us that the reason why a bloke often can't find something in the fridge is that their power of (visual) concentration is sort of tunnel-like in it's projection. So in other words, we have to scan everywhere, - left to right and up and down to make sure we've covered the whole area.

Whereas when you call your wife to come and take a look, her visual power of concentration can take in a much larger area at once, so she doesn't need to scan like we do.

So that would explain why they can spot us perving, but we don't see them doing it.

That's because we all look good in the dark (said with deep barry white voice)

Leon, it's natural for people to look at other people who they find attractive. It means nothing. We all have eyes. Your wife should be more concerned if you stop looking and lose interest. If my wife looks at an attractive man, I really don't care - I can see that the man is handsome too, so why shouldn't she look.

Have you ever been caught sneaking a look at a beautiful telescope?
