Why do men look at other women?
Why Do Men — Understanding what men do.
See if this sounds familiar…
You are sitting at dinner or walking down the street together, enjoying a moment of connection, when his eyes drift. His head turns, his focus shifts, and for a few seconds, he is completely captured by another woman walking by. In that single moment, warmth evaporates, replaced by a cold knot in your stomach as you wonder why does he check out other women? or why does my boyfriend notice every attractive woman? right in front of you.
