“Male vs Female Gazes Compared”

male-vs-female-gazes-compared.jpg

A diagram purporting to show the differences in where the gazes of men and women fall on a woman has lately been attracting attention for its devastating accuracy.

For those wondering, the lady on the right is saying “Look at the boots, the boots!”

    Well, at least the arrows got a peek. Assuming they're actually wearing really long socks. And they're not.

    Girls judge other girls by their looks, and what they wear.

    Guys on the other hand cares not too much about appearance about other guys but rather their social status. You know, things like if they are rich or not.

    thats only if you arre trapped in vanity, in some cases the "lower" male has a modest house, modest looks and still gains much more money than the "upper class" male.
    Yes you're right, alas, personality saves much of the males comparision issues.

    Lol? Your average girl judges people a LOT more based on their apparent social status than a guy does. The lol goes for the rest of your post as well.

    Guys judge other guys based on a lot of random factors depending on what they, individually, appreciate or belittle----mais naturellement, you might say, and I agree. But while some guys appreciate wealth, others appreciate looks and most guys DO evaluate people based on their clothes, whether consciously or not.

    Even I know that statement's rubbish. If you'd taken the easy way and brought up steel-toed work boots you'd at least have gotten points for trying.

    This diagram's accuracy isn't anything special either, like it wasn't already known. Look at anything relating to mating, and you'll find our gaze. Look at anything that is utterly useless to us and that we'd sooner see OFF the body, and you'll find the woman's gaze. This requires no thought or intellect to recognize. Your clothes will be incredible if they accent the mating aspects of your form, then we'll notice them. Pure and simple, and it's not shallow nor piggish. It's reality and hasn't changed ever, so we wallow in your beauty, don't ask anyone but an artist to try and understand it. We have training so we can understand it :D

    Speaking as a bisexual woman, all the arrows kinda fall under my umbrella, I'd probably pay a bit more attention to the legs though, at least you can always say when asked what you're looking at "oh I just love your shoes!" it's a lot less awkward then being caught looking down another girls top, there's only so many excuses you can come up with for that one...

    "Girls do the choosing"

    The 9s and 10s are indeed way too used to be choosers and most women want to be that way. Ironically, the only guys that have real possibilities of getting 10s are the choosers, the cool alphas that have gotten their way with so many women they've begun to appreciate things other than sex and looks (silly world they live in, I know). If you want to get laid, think as if you were a chooser. It helps.

    Frankly, I'm surprised at how many stereotypical "frustrated young lads" we've got here. They think in the EXACT way that generally stops people from getting laid - with hotties, that is. There always exists the possibility of hooking up with a 6 or 7 ("ok" to "somewhat pretty") if you're not ugly, but I wouldn't count on that.

    I think hair and shoes may be for other girls to get jealous about.

    The 'zettai ryouiki' aka the area between the skirt and the stocking aka the exposed thighs and clothes that shapes the body, the small tease of bust. That may be more for the guys.

    No, hell. EVERYTHING about a girl's fashion is to fight off other girls. XD

    i didnt even notice the purse at all. i just know that shirts, pants, purses and shoes all cost a fuck ton if you go designer.

    i mean, there is merit in a 100$ shirt, dont get me wrong, a HIGH as thread count feels amazing, but some of this shit is a tshirt print made by a name.

    but shoes, the expensive one are never the ones that also feel nice.

    and a purse it to carry shit, get one that looks good and isn't a clutter nightmare, and there you go.

    typically i ware loose socks, tennis shoes, sily like shorts, and a t shirt that is so thin its like im wearing nothing at all

    if i want to look good, i put on jeans white socks, same tennis shoes and a tshirt that doesn't have a print on it and is a higher thread count.

    if a woman can do that, have a dont give a fuck, i want complete comfort, and a i want to look like i dont exclusively shop at walmart look, that is shiny as hell to me.

    "but shoes, the expensive one are never the ones that also feel nice. "

    Exactly, I spent 170 bucks on nike air max 2009's a year and a half ago, good comfort, but the wear and tear they went through just didn't scream "worth the money" to me. (I work in a pharmacy where I Dont do ANYTHING resembling excessive wear and tear)

    Took them back, guy was sympathetic and agreed the wear and tear on them was a bit much, opted to exchange them for me for the 2010 version of the Air Max. Horrible discomfort and the cost of looking amazing. Tried taking those back, no dice, im out 170 bucks and got my hands on one of the most pieces of shit shoes ever made by Nike. The Airmax line is full of shit >.<

    I agree on the purse and stuff. No need to spend too much on accessories, shoes, hat etc.

    But especially when it comes to shirts, pants and skirts, the quality (and subsequently the price) can make a big difference. This seems to hold especially true for hot ass jeans.

    I disagree. Maybe it's because I'm an artist, but I simply LOVE female fashion, even though I'm a guy. I like to stare toward the ground in order to see where I'm going and also check what each passerby is wearing on their feet before I look up at their socks, skirt, top, hair, and face. I'm far from gay, but I don't care as much about their cleavage or anything. Instead, I take mental notes in my head, so when I'm sitting at my desk, designing characters and their wardrobe, I can use what I've seen as inspiration.

    That said, most girls I see walking around have such an awkward fashion sense to me. I think that if a girl can spend the least amount of money on fashion and still look cute, then its a success. Girls don't NEED expensive high-heel boots with jewelry embedded on them. Sometimes, simple rubber boots with a nice buckle or two will serve the same purpose, if not do better. And who needs all that makeup? Even if you don't like your natural skin or color, you don't need to coat your face with makeup all the time. Light/No makeup is good makeup. :)

    everything in proportion. A 40+ woman may need makeup that resembles facepaint, but a 18yr old does not. Saw a chick that was 20 tops and i could see cracks in the makeup where it was drying out! Older you are the more you need, simple as that.

    Depends on the woman in question. To me, looking like makeup is looking fake, and is a turnoff. I find the most attractive women I've met aren't trying to attract guys and doll themselves up, but rather dress for work. This may involve some makeup, but it's never noticeable.

    Naww man, women are obsessed with their hair and shoes and makeup to prove to OTHER WOMEN that they're "just as good." They convince themselves it's for men, but it isn't-- since most women know that the male gaze is in fact directed towards boobs/butt/legs/etc, they're outright deluding themselves if they say that a $600 pair of boots is for anyone other than other ladies.

    I just laugh ojou-sama style while men ignore said women's $600 boots and focus on my genetics-given boobs. : D
