How do you feel when a woman checks out your package?

They do that, they get a glance here and there and try to not get caught. They also talk about it to each other sometimes. Women can absolutely be unnecessarily pervy, just like men.

I always find it funny that that behavior is so less well known but happens a lot as well.

Stop saying pervy as if humans aren't thoroughly sexual creatures constantly looking to hook up. It's normal.

It's not perverse to have basic human emotions.

It's like nobody online has ever left their basements or something and are morally outraged that others around them have actual normal healthy social lives.

Yeah, women and men both can be pervy and gross, and I don't care if people enjoy their hookup culture or whatever normal sex they have, but there are places where you should not have to deal with pervy behavior, like in the workplace.

But there's a difference between someone glancing at some dude's package or some woman's breasts because their eyes went there and they didn't mean to, versus someone taking a look then talking to a coworker about it. The latter is pervy and gross and extremely inappropriate. It's very human, but also very gross. People need to get their behavior in check in certain environments.

I still remember positively the one women who said "nice package" to me. It was 30 years ago. So I guess I feel complimented? I really shouldn't. I didn't have anything to do with it... I was born with it.

So I can totally understand why some women dress to be noticed.

And I have found that women are far more detailed about sexual encounters with each other than men are. Guys always use vague euphemisms. Women are often pretty explicit and specific. More power to them.
