Men: How do you feel when women check out your 'package'?

[LynneSin]

Just curious

[eyepaddle]

1. Never noticed if it has been done., well, let me think

I have size fourteen feet, and more than a few women used to ask if that meant "anything." I'd assume if they were curious enough to ask, they had probably tried to detrmine the answer "remotely" first.

And here's the cruelly honest answer: it really depended on the woman in question--if I was attracted, great! If I wasn't, well,it was little off-putting.

2. "it really depended on the woman in question"

That's big of you to admit, seeing as how some in other threads are acting as if it's some cruel act of malice that women are put off by the reverse. And considering how much more often it happens to women, well... anyway.

[eyepaddle]

4. Yeah, sitting here thinking about it, I had to admit I was

a little less than proud to admit that--but it was my honest response.

One possible difference might be that men rarely notice the "checking out" or maybe it is more accurate to say that we just don't notice the long term patterns.

When I first saw the OP I thought "Well, it's never happened."

Then I remembered that I had in fact been quizzed on the topic! This isn't really a defense, just a few rambling musings.

7. Nothing shameful about it IMO.

It's just how you feel. What I think is shameful is seeing people getting all high and mighty about it as if anyone who minds being ogled, whether or not it's dependent on the ogler, is somehow 'wrong' to feel that way.

[eyepaddle]

9. That's a pretty fair statement.

How you feel is how you feel--there isn't any conscious decisionmaking in you first gut-level reaction. At least I don't think there is.

I was never cruel or sneering to any of the women I wasn't attracted to. I think I'm pretty average so I always try to maintain some empathy. And I know first hand that you feel pretty vulnerable when expressing interest in another person, I always tried to demur as politiely as possible.

And just for the record, my stock response to the foot-package-size-relationship question was always a laughing "how many penises do you think I've seen!" I've only got myself to compare so I don't know!

3. I don't care, animals have hormones. Take it as a complement. nt

5. I'm too oblivious to notice

Besides, it is what it is.

It's not like I did anything to develop it.

Just something I was born with.

6. Depends on the situation, I suppose...

Now, if we're both unclothed, that's one thing. If it's on the street, it's another. In either case, it's no biggie.

8. I've seen women do it, I've seen men do it

I could care less...must be that my reputation precedes me.

10. Never happens, although they occasionally ask me to put it back in and zip up.

And I'm like, hey, why you lookin'? And they're all "ew, some of us are tryin' to teach here, pervo" and it just never turns out right

[LynneSin]

13. Yes we appreciate that too Bucky

[NJmaverick]

11. I would be flattered if they did

[guitar man]

12. pretty damn good

Hey, at my age, it's nice to know I still got it!

[NewJeffCT]

14. Never really bothered me

I tend to be pretty oblivious about these sorts of things, though.

However, I have noticed women checking on my left hand in the past - I assume to see if there is a wedding band there because my hands aren't deformed or tattooed or have any unusual markings.
