One of my favorite past times is admiring men in their natural habitat.
The way they move, walk and talk.
I try not to be obvious; I like to be incognito, but do men notice this?
And if you do, how does it make you feel?
How do men feel when woman check them out ?

good
“Hell yeah. Still fuckin got it baby”
They have good taste. I find the ones that don’t check me out weird.
I’ll let you know when it happens.
Once a car load of girls drove by and one leaned out the window and yelled “you’re hot” at me. I’ll always remember that.
Empowering. Objectify me all you want.
I don’t usually notice until my wife points it out.
Clueless over here. But that’s because I’m ugly, so no one checks me out.
Wait, women check men out? When!?
Its annoying. They need to stop being creeps. I assume any lady who looks in my general direction is checking me out
Madam, this is Reddit. Men on Reddit don’t get checked out.
It’s great. The problem is, it never happened when I was single. Now I’m in a relationship and having a kid and all of a sudden these girls start to notice me so it can be difficult at times.
I have never perceived this to happen, though my spouse has stated it has. Probably would think I was being glared at/mistaken for someone who had wronged them
Im usually like “why that woman is staring at me?”🤣im a bit socially awkward
“Wait, people check me out?!”
Aka, i am too oblivious to notice
Usually don’t notice, would probably think you were just looking at my cool graphic tee.
I can’t say that it’s happened often, or at least I haven’t noticed it, but when it does, it feels nice. As is often lamented, men don’t get compliments often so when we think someone is checking us out or admiring us, it tends to feel good. It’s nice to feel like SOMEONE finds you attractive.
Fuck ya! Adds a skip my my step everytime
I’ll let you know if it ever happens
We never even notice
Lost a bunch of weight and it’s nice when ladies check me out. It’s even better when you get booty called.
Doesn’t matter. When men can control OF and it’s WOMEN who are the customers, call me. Right now, looks like it’s just men appealing to other men, and women appealing to other men.
I’m gay so women aren’t really my thing. But I usually find it pretty flattering to be honest.
Men don’t even know half the time when a woman is trying to kiss them, so you think we notice a woman checking us out? Most men probably assume you’re glaring at them because they’re looking at you (how else would they notice you’re checking them out).
Women check me out?
I only noticed when I got back in shape.
Was she looking at me? Nice. Still got it you sexy beast.
We usually don’t notice unless it’s in a bar or party environment. We generally like it if it’s not gross leering.
I feel like men forget that they are amazing. I’m Currently at my favorite coffee shop; and the variety of interesting men that are coming in and out is pretty awesome. Hence the post lol
I probably have food on my face and will neurotically wipe my mouth/chin/cheeks every few minutes until I get home
I have never noticed a woman checking me out
It’s flattering.
👍 😃 Great powerful 💪😍 🥵 😲
I would assume my existence is offending her in some way.
One time in college, the woman working the checkout told me I looked ‘ravaging’.
Guys don’t usually hear that kind of thing. Getting objectified by a stranger at the grocery store literally gave me a confidence boost for 15 years(so far)
When a lady gives me the up and down look, I always worry that my fly is open. Honestly. But other than that, it’s a non-event for me.
Don’t be subtle. Take a gander from heel to head. I notice but I’ve had it drilled into my head by buzzkillers over the recent years to “never assume interest.” I’m trying to see things more through my own instincts lately though and girls actually check me out quite a bit. I’m schmandsome.
Women don’t check me out, so I wouldn’t know.
I either don’t notice or women aren’t checking me out. Be less subtle. I’d love it. I’ve always felt pretty invisible to women.
Most of us are totally oblivious because it RARELY HAPPENS. BUT, when it’s noticed usually there’s two stages.
Stage 1: it’s like you’re the butt of a joke. Like damn I get it I’m not that attractive but now you’re gonna be sarcastic.
Stage 2: it clicks and you realize it’s coming from an honest place of attraction…. Then you wear that shit like a badge of honor for the rest of the year with your head high and chest out. And throughout the year, your brain thinks “remember that time you caught her checking you out?!”
For real, any type of compliment or genuine attraction shown (bluntly, we are men after all) will have him walking on sunshine.
If it happens, I don’t even notice.
Had a woman scan me from bottom to top once with fuck me eyes. It felt great and was very flattering.
Like a piece of meat.
Medium rare.
Perfectly seared crust.
Great, like I can pull any chick. especially if it’s a woman I find attractive checking me out and making it known like clearly flirting or asking me for my number etc
If it ever happens I’ll let you know
As someone who didn’t have much attention until after the 30s and also when I got bald(where I started to take care of myself with kickboxing and gym).
I love it. My gf also loves it because she feels the “Yeah you can watch but I’m the one who can touch.”.
I’ll let you know when it happens
Don’t know; never noticed it when it happened or if it has ever happened.
Makes me wonder if I farted
I couldn’t tell you, I’m pretty sure no woman has ever checked me out.
It feels really good honestly. Especially if im feeling fresh too.
Its happened a few times that I knew about, or was told about. Made me feel pretty great actually
it was amazing bcoz sometimes i make eye contact with them! i love it
Back in my 20s, when I was in good shape and it happened a fair amount, I loved it. Felt like I’d really earned it by getting in shape. That was when I noticed it. According to a few friends, it happened a few times that I was totally oblivious to.
What is it? Do I have something on my face?
Love it. When that eye contact lingers a moment longer than it should and there’s an unspoken exchange of hmmmmm you’re hot…puts a spring in my step for the rest of the day.
Shocked
I’ll tell ya when it happened!
I’m more the “He isn’t my type, but somehow he charmed me”-kinda guy. Women usually come up with excuses why they hooked up with me.
VIOLATED, but seriously, how you doin’?
Yes. No don’t look at me, we have standards too.
It’ll be a core memory till I die 😂
Can’t remember it happening to be honest
It’s never happened to me as far as I know. My wife will claim it does, but I’m not buying it.
Never been checked out, so IDK. I’d immediately think something was wrong cause I highly doubt a woman would check me out in a good way. While it would feel good, I’d be skeptical. I’m just not a good looking dude.
Idk I stayed with home girl last night. She’s going on a cruise next week and was packing. She was getting me to help her pick out dresses and I couldn’t help to be extra checking her out (kind of felt bad a bit) because we’re mostly platonic. However, she was checking me out super hard last night when I was in my underwear getting ready for bed
It’ll be a core memory till I die 😂
It’s tiredsome getting all this attention and being objectified every time I walk outside!
Said no man ever.
I know my barber did a great job.
Sometimes I notice it. It feels weird to be objectified because I haven’t been my whole life, or at least, I haven’t noticed my whole life. If I get in my head to tell myself they are looking at me positively, it feels good and makes me smile a bit. If I’m in a down mood, I tend to think they are looking at me like I’m a weirdo and feel embarrassed or bad and tend to try to straighten my posture and look the other way while trying to get out of that situation. I’d much prefer a woman to approach me and give me a compliment about something she sees or to tell me I look ugly to her lol rather than be stared at or her hoping I meet her gaze to share a smile.
Dope if she’s hot
I wish they stop looking at my chest. Gosh.
Oh, we notice. It happens to me on the regular. It feels pretty good. Unless my wife sees it too. Then I’m usually either in a little bit of trouble, or she starts hanging on me lmao
I have taken to complimenting random men. I mean them sincerely. Told a guy in the grocery the other day that he looked really sharp in his flannel, which he did. He beamed it was lovely!
I’m stupid as hell so I probably might mistake it for you just looking in my general direction and not actually at me.
Never had the opportunity.
A woman did check me out once, but I was in a bad neighbourhood. So, I got the hell out of there.
If a lady turns her head up and away from her phone up at my face and quickly looks back at her phone when I make eye contact with her is that count ?
Im guessing this is EXACTLY the same for women. And you aren’t going to like the answer.
If I think that SHE is cute, then it’s all good. Stare all you like. 🤣🤘
If I don’t find that particular woman checking me out attractive,then it’s creepy AF, and I would rather you stop.
It’s that whole thing where you can have 2 guys walk up to a woman and say the exact same line. And one will succeed and the other might get the cops called on him. Think George Clooney vs Harvey Weinstein. 🤷🏽♂️
So basically, it’s all how attractive the person doing it is. 👍
You’re overestimating the observational awareness of men in this regard.
We’ll notice a potential threat at fifty yards but wouldn’t be able to acknowledge a pretty woman checking us out if she jumped out of a bush and yelled Yahtzee.
Men probably don’t notice if we’re being honest
Does that happen?
I would say most men do not notice…….
To your second point it feels awesome to be objectified!
Surprised
Indifferent to being checked. I’ll tell you how it felt to be approached though (for friendship, not romance) that felt nice.
Half of me recognizes what’s happening, the other half wonders what you’re hoping to achieve by paying attention to me. To put it simply, my reaction is “Hmmm, weird. Anyways…”
Oblivious
I have no idea what that feels like.
Tickled that someone would notice.
I wish it would actually lead to something……
I literally just had some random woman wave at me after doing a double take while i was taking out the trash.
Idk if I was being checked out, but it made my day so much better.
Depends on exactly what she’s doing.
Depends on where she’s doing it.
Depends on the woman doing it, what she looks like, who she is to me, if anyone.
Admiring my legs which still show the hiking I did as a youth and talking about how she’s evaluated the crotch of every guy at work and ranked them are very, very different. The former was surprising but flattering. The latter was weird, off-putting, and made me feel naked and violated.
As an average/unattractive guy I barely notice tbh
How the fuck would I know..?
flattered
Wouldn’t that depend on the way you are observing them as well? Are you subtly looking or are you gawking?
“Seen”
When it happens to me in my life I usually end up breeding the woman. Cases in point: I’ve had at least 3 women tell me, on the very first sexual encounter, “I wanted you from the first minute I saw you!” (While we’re doing it!). Basically caused me to make sure she was satisfied with every moment of lovemaking. The woman I ended up staying with long term basically told me she wanted to have a baby and she wanted me to impregnate her. Obviously I didn’t hesitate. Depends on where women are at in life, I suppose
That is a situation that only exists in movies and GTA VI.
I like it. I fairly often notice women looking at me, but of course it’s hard to know for sure if they’re actually checking out or just happened to have their face pointed in my direction.
It feels good. Makes us feel attractive and stuff.
Nowadays it makes me feel self-conscious because I’m not in shape. When I still worked out it felt great when a woman did that. Some would stare at my arms and I caught a few looking at my butt (relective surfaces). But I don’t get mad since I do it with them too (although I do try not to do it too much and too obviously).
its nice, some stare and i stare back and they give me a smile
One of my best memories is a gorgeous woman walking in to a pole when she was checking my out. It was when I was at my fittest.
It was a long time ago lol.
It’s pretty cool. They’re pretty bad at discretion compared to how guys do it. But I don’t really care, cause it strokes my ego.
You’re probably just going to get 100 “hurrr durrr never happenZzz” replies because this is Reddit and dudes here find every opportunity they can to remind everyone how bad they do with women for some reason.
Yes yes yes. Got checked out and asked to go home with her a couple of months ago. I kindly declined, but have been riding that high since then
I don’t know if I’ve ever been checked out so blasphemy. (Probably have and didn’t notice tbh)
I feel and think the following:
Don’t expect me to approach you, talk to you or show you attention. I’m not here to validate you or appease hour ego.
DON’T TAKE MY PICTURE OR VIDEO ME. I want nothing to do with your instagram or TikTok.
If you approach me, do so respectfully and without any expectations. When I reject you (most likely I will), take the rejection well and just walk away without insults or drama.
95% of the time? I most likely don’t notice it, I have really poor self esteem. Working on it in therapy but noticed it the other day and honestly it made my day. Made me feel good.
Great. A lot of cis straight men don’t have experiences of feeling objectified or desired so it stands out when it happens
Feels amazing. Very ego boosting. Though like others say, I don’t notice most of the time.
Got checked out once (that was really obvious) right when leaving after a date with my current girlfriend. She looked me up and down a few times, didn’t make a frown or similar, rather it seemed more like a smirk.
I felt objectifiedly pretty and hot
Wouldn’t know
I’m sure I don’t notice when women do it discretely. But, as a rather handsome man, I do notice when women notice me. This generally happens at the instance they seem me, when they are quite prepared to hide it. I get a lot of double takes, a look and then look away, or sustained eye contact and smile. I think I know all the looks by now.
Sure, it feels good. But it doesn’t amount to much as a married man.
It depends on the woman
I wish I could catch women staring at me. I’m in a relationship, and I would never ever do anything to jeoprodize that, but I’ve never been cool or popular, so the validation is nice every once in a while
Can you give some pointers on how to recognise a woman checking a guy out? The only times I’ve noticed it was when they flat out said something or were giggling at the most boring jokes. And by the time I figure out a woman likes me we’re either already kissing or it’s five years later, randomly thinking about the situation.
Its amazing! But im kind of an attention whore.
Seriously, tho, I dont work out at the gym 6 days a week to be ignored.
Women out in the wild? I’m pretty oblivious to it. I definitely spot my wife ogling me from the kitchen window when I’m out mowing the lawn with my shirt off though lol.
Whenever I notice it’s great, brings a smile to my face
I would never notice. But id be flattered as hell.
I’m married, so it doesn’t really matter to me. That, and there’s never enough time in a day, so I’m usually too busy to notice or care.
Good
They do that?
If I were to notice it’d make me feel desired, maybe with a little ego boost too
Women check me out?
Unconfortable sometimes, i took my nieces to a park to play while i was waiting to for my spouse to get done at work, and all the moms elevator eyed me and kept asking me for my phone number under the guise of their child could set up a play date with my nieces who were only going to be in town this one time, and i could text them if they ever were in town again. It was all very pushy and kind of flattering, but damn i am glade i dont have children of my own.
Bruh I cannot tell you how much I love being objectified. Feels absolutely fantastic. I’ve heard women talk about me like I’m a piece of meat and it’s like fuck yeah
It depends… sometimes girls flirt by staring at you untill you become uncomfortable and go talk to her.
Kinda feels like when a baby won’t stop staring at you when you are in line at Walmart. 🤦🏾♂️
I’m sure it’s happened before, but I’ve never noticed it. It’s probably rare and to be honest if people look at me a lot it makes me aggressive which shows on my face..
One time, some neighborhood ladies were literally gawking at me when I was getting back from the gym. Like they literally made it obvious they weren’t even trying to hide… They were straight up making seductive eye contact.
I felt so violated lol.
I’ve caught a few girls in the past… I’m not sure what to do about it
Some have been subtle I catch their eyes following me when I’m walking around somewhere
Other times I’ve had a girl and me walking passed each other and as she walks in my my direction I see (and feel) their eyes go from my shoes to my eyes and I’m like not sure how to react
Sometimes I’m at work or talking to a friend when it’s happened but I still feel creepy if I go over just cause she checked me out
Other times Im talking to someone or standing in place somewhere and I check my surroundings (always for some reason) then I trace someones eyes and I lock in with them
I’ll usually just glare cutely back and wave but what am I to do i feel good but I’m also like “why doesn’t she say something” or “now she’s being bashful after staring like that” lol
Great! 👍
Confident, sexy and desirable… very nice feeling.
Like a million fucking dollars.
I’ll let you know when it happens.
I would love it if it ever happened, like massive confidence boosting levels of loving it.
Relieved. At least there is someone who thinks I am interesting enough to be ogled at. 😂
Honestly a lot of the time I think I’m unaware of it, women are pretty sneaky when they are checking guys out. But sometimes you just “know” when you turn your head and a woman nearby immediately snaps her vision away from you before you’ve even finished turning your head.
I catch women looking at my bulge pretty often though (I do be packin’ and I wear gymshorts or sweatpants frequently) I think they assume that because it’s lower-down that we won’t notice the staring when her eyes are downcast and partly hidden by eyelids/eyelashes/sunglasses.
But yeah y’all are nothing like the way guys stare, especially older guys. Fucking christ the way an older guy will just stare like a dead fish for 20 seconds straight at a girl old enough to be his granddaughter is so gross.
Im flattered.
It seems as that as I’ve hit middle 60’s and still look great. Women really pay more attention to me.
All age groups from late 20′ to late 70’s.
Some get pretty forward which can be off putting, but the following eyes when I cross the room, or catching a lady staring, then a brief (sometimes not so brief) locking of eyes is very fun.
Keep it up, most men will be flattered and not take it as more than you mean it.
Good
It can feel “empowering” or creepy. Depends on the situation and who checks me out.
I’m as blind as a bat when it comes to a women flirting with me or looking at me in an interested way.
My ex got so jealous when someone was looking at me in that way but I genually never noticed.
I’m single for 2 years now and still don’t notice it.
I wouldn’t know.
I’ll let you know as soon as one does.
Law of averages suggests it’s happened to me but I’ve never noticed it in my four decades.
Honestly, we probably can’t even tell when this happens. Unless it’s extremely obvious.
Be obvious about it if you like. When I was a teen, I visited a rival high school to take part in a joint project. Had my first experience with being cat called and loved every second of it.
Cheery
I love it. I’m still riding the high from an uninvited compliment 25 years ago.
Check me out, objectify me all you want, bring it on.
flattered
