Does your girlfriend gets mad if you check out other walking species with boobies?
Most of you would probably answer “yes”. So now my next question is: why? This topic came up several times between me and a few male buddies. My argument is there’s nothing wrong with looking. It’s like reading/watching porn, but more “3D” as the subject is almost (or is) right in front of you. I think it’s pretty natural to look at what we find interesting, pretty, admirable…etc. It’s like if you see a car on the street that you find interesting, you’d probably give it a good stare, so why can’t it be a person? I confess, I check out guys and girls(!) all the time. People are interesting to look at. From the way they talk to the way they dress. That’s why we have outdoor cafes.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s alright to invade one’s privacy and peep at things you shouldn’t be peeping at (like someone taking a shower). Oh and drooling is bad. Keep that mouth closed while you lock on the target.
I also find it funny when I hear things like “I don’t check out others when I have a boyfriend/girlfriend.” Right. Maybe the idea of “checking out” have different meanings for everyone. Like maybe they just “glanced” at the person. That doesn’t qualify as “checking out” right? Recently I heard this from a person who claimed that they don’t check out other people, “Oh so you didn’t get the cute waiter?” Oops?
Al forwarded this article which I found very interesting: “My ogling makees my girlfriend furious” - by David Eddie. Read it if you want to find out how to train yourself in the art of “nogling”.

You bring up a good point about like porn in 3D, but a significant chunk of people find looking at porn “bad”, so then checking out girls that is just as bad. According to a survey I saw a year or two ago, a small but significant minority considered porn to be “cheating” on someone if they are dating. So I guess the threshold for cheating for people can be anywhere from having sex with someone, all the way down to checking someone out.
Nice link on the art of “nogling”!

i think ogling is ok, as long as you ogle the right person, aka strangers. It gets too weird if one get staring at friends’ gf or family members. it’s time to wash your eyes with bleach, guys. I do have to admit, we men, can’t control our primal instincts, unless you are Alxxn, aka totally blind. nogling is an art too hard to master.
