Well I have to also admit that I find certain ethnic groups do it more outwardly than others
sorry – it’s true
ENY – agreed I think some women’s baramoter of approriateness is ridiculous
I saw this girl the other day, normal thin girl not much of a body get off the F train in Park slope with cutoff Jean shorts exposing her cheeks – I was in shock I couldn’t help looking nevermind some man
To follow up on ENY’s post: there IS a difference between a gawk and an admiring glance. I think many women are flattered by the latter, but hate the former.
“gawk at all us women who wear sandals,tank tops, no coats etc etc”
I don’t cat-call and I try not to “gawk.” I’m used to being around beautiful women (80% of ladies in PR are good-looking, and I have my own experience, etc., etc.). So I understand how to be appreciative without being rude. I’ll admit a lot of men haven’t figured out how that’s done. At the same time, every summer the female skin/how-much-is- appropriate-to-show quotient seems to increase, based on my exhaustive research. And if certain worthy parties are willing to advertise, who am I to ignore the message?
DH – try working up here in midtown at Fifth Ave and 55th – it’s awful
they all flock to the A&F store
I seriously cannot stand the amount of tourists up here.
gack!
ENY – oh lord I know what happens in spring/summer – men can’t help but stand outside and gawk at all us women who wear sandals,tank tops, no coats etc etc
it’s awful- I really hate it
but maybe when Im 45 I won’t get cat called anymore so maybe I should enjoy it now
I gawk at men.
I’ve thrown out a catcall here and there. It’s great fun cause they never expect it.
I’m not sure I know the difference btw admiring and gawking – I try not to do a 180 and turn my head, but I might follow with the eyes.

ENY I am right by you (22nd and 6th).
DH, if I had a windowed office looking out into Soho, I would definitely not do work and just stare at eye candy all day long.
G10, you probably passed by me a few times then, I don’t cat call though, I just gawk :o(.
I see I haven’t missed much.
Wake me up when something interesting is happening.
