Do you think that checking out guys in public is socially accepted? I am in the closet so I don't do it openly...I do it as sly as possible only because I don't want my friends to see, etc... But for those of you who are "out", do you try to downplay checking out guys? Do you ever get dirty looks/remarks or wonder what other "straight" people are thinking about you as they see you checking out another guy in public? I'm just wondering if you think this is socially accepted. Of course checking out somebody in general can be looked down on, but my assumption is that an elderly couple would rather see a couple of teenage boys check out a cute girl rather than see a guy checking out another guy.

This does not include gay atmospheres such as clubs, bars, etc.
 
Socially, it is considered rude to check out members of the same or opposite sex in a gross manner. It helps if one can avoid detection by using sunglasses. Nevertheless, I get "caught" from time to time and have had bad experiences only a couple of times.
 
You only think you're doing it subtly. There's really no good way to check people out in public without getting caught by someone. Some of my friends could tell I was checking guys out when I thought I was being sly.

Nowadays, I just stare and slobber openly. :p

this is probably true. I never actually check out guys intentionally. It just happens like a bad habit. Damn those guys for being hot.](*,)

HA @ sunglasses.

bad experiences? please elaborate...
 
In the summer when Im at the beach,
sunglasses work great!!! And after all
the beach is the best place to check
out guys!!
 
if you're hot, I will look. possibly even stare, and drool a little.

it's a risk every sexy man must take when going out in public!
 
Yes, Virginia, it is rude to openly stare at someone as if he (or she) were a cake in the bakery window. This guy's just going about his day-to-day, minding his own business, not standing on a spotlit stage for your entertainment. So keep your gawking to a minimum.

Learn a little subtlety. Sunglasses (or even regular glasses) are good for that; looking all around you will mask the little glances you take at him; developing your peripheral vision so that you can actually look off in another direction and only take fleeting peeks is also very helpful.

As to whether or not anyone else notices you checking out other guys... come on, do you really think you're all that interesting? The world is not staring at you. Most people don't even care that you exist, much less who or what you're looking at.

Just concern yourself with the object of your attention. Would you like to be gaped at? I doubt it. So have a little compassion for your fellow beings (yes, hot guys are people, too), and keep your eyeballs inside their sockets and your tongue firmly behind your teeth. ;)

As usual, you put it in words I can't even come close to expressing. ..|

I check guys out everyday. I'm not so concerned with what 'others' will think, but I'm careful as to not make the person who has captured my attention feel awkward or uneasy in any way. If there's any mutual interest, I can usually tell and take it from there.
 
I check out men all the time. I dont cat call them or anything, but whats wrong with a glance?
 
Would any straight guy ask if it was OK to "check out" attractive women?

So why do gay men (or lesbians) need permission to look at people?

Obviously there's a civilized and an uncivilized way of doing it.

We shouldn't make people uncomfortable, but if guys don't want other guys admiring them, too bad.
 
I just look at whoever I want.

Who cares what other people think? It's not as if you'll probably ever see the same guy again.


If I see someone "checking" me out...... I just take it as flattering. :D
 
What other reason would there be for going out in public? It was invented to check guys out. I'm not saying lick your lips at someone (which was done to me recently), but a man has to look when he sees something he likes.
 
Is it considered rude? Yes. But so's using the wrong fork for the salad. Some guys might be weirded out by being ogled. It's up to you to decide if that's something you care about. I know a couple of gay guys who ogle as much as they want, and if the guy they're ogling feels uncomfortable, that's his problem. I personally wouldn't do that - given my visual history, I probably couldn't - but it's up to you.

I have been guilty of the occasional eye fuck---have not had a bad experience as yet--guess I'm more discrete than I thought
 
Most of the time I could care less what a guy thinks, if I just give him an up-and-down or eat him with my eyes. When your upbringing was so screwed up that you didn't come out till after anyone might be interested in drooling over you, you don't particularly care to waste time trying to be careful of the overly sensitive.

I do work at being careful in my home town -- I'm sort of averse to be shoved into traffic or dragged behind a 4WD truck on a logging road.
 
I think the real question is do guys check me out in public?

hahaha

I wonder what type of men look at me....
 
Yep; I check out guys all the time and try not to be too obvious about it ... NoOne has ever said anything to me about it ..Maybe it is because they could see the service weapon in its holster ... on my shoulder ..
