When a girl bends over, do guys immediately look at her butt, or is that just a stereotype?

r/

I’ve been curious about this for a while. I know some people might say it’s just a stereotype, but I’ve often heard that guys can’t help but look when we girls bend over, especially if I wear something like short skirts, leggings or shorts. Is that true, or is it just an exaggeration?

    Depends on the guy, but yes we all do it.

    some look at it, some look away, some don’t change their view and if they see it they see it. Depends on the situation

  5. bobroberts1954 Avatar

    Yup, autopilot. We even look when we don’t want to see.

    Sorry, what was the question? My wife bent over and I got distracted…

    I’d love to say it’s an exaggeration but who am I kidding. Now if I catch myself I do stop me from doing it but it really is involuntary.

    Some do, some don’t, can’t say I “can’t help it” as I don’t do it every time but the booty usually be in my peripheral vision

    Unless they think other women will notice them looking.

    When my girl does it, absolutely

  11. Reltrete Avatar

    Mostly yeah. From what I learned tho is that women do it to. A good body attracts attention.

    unfortunately it’s a biological reflex for me

    I thought this was just a meme until I started filming some of my lifts at the gym to check my form. You can literally see the wave of quick glances and subtle head turns flow across the men in frame when I bend over.

    It’s honestly impressive how slick and unnoticeable they are as I genuinely had no clue, and I used to think I had a good sense for when someone was staring at me.

    edit: Seeing the weird tangent that formed below this, I just want to clarify that I don’t have an issue with the way these men were looking. I had no clue it was even happening. Didn’t bother me before I knew, doesn’t bother me after I know, either. These little half-second glances are completely harmless imo. Nobody at my current gym has ever done anything to make me feel unsafe or unwelcome.

    It’s not a stereotype. It’s an instantaneous and involuntary reaction as far as I can tell.

  19. jcwilliams1984 Avatar

    Majority of the time we were looking even before she bends over

    I actually saw a legit study and guys will turn and look before their conscious brain even realizes why they are turning. It’s very instinctual. That being said your conscious brain decides how long is appropriate for a look to linger.

    What a weird question.. I was already looking at her butt before she bent over..

  23. Short-termTablespoon Avatar

    Ngl I’m more inclined to look if they don’t bend over. If they bend over then I think it’s inappropriate to lookz

  24. wrexmason Avatar

    Absolutely, but stealthily 😂

    You are asking the question as if this a sexual impulse.  It’s not.  
    Brain – movement – odd movement – what are they doing?  Eyes naturally look over the situation “what are they doing? Did something fall? The hindquarters are sticking out… you notice.”

    It’s all innocent.  But you don’t star and go “oh yeaaaah”.  Every innocent situation can be crossed into something bad with a corrupted mind.

    I rely on my peripheral vision constantly. If ANYONE makes a weird motion or does something that isn’t just standing up or walking, it catches my eye. If it’s just someone bending over, hunching over, lifting, or doing some mundane thing, I stop paying attention to it. 

  27. OverlappingChatter Avatar

    I look at everybody’s butt no matter who or where they are or what they are doing.

  28. MysteriousGoldDuck Avatar

    The initial glance for most men is honestly involuntary. And us gays will check out other men’s butts (or packages) automatically the same way. Now if they hold that look and stare or make a comment, that’s creepy and inappropriate in many contexts. 

  29. grogi81 Avatar

    Not immediately… There probably is like 10-20 ms delay to blink to provide better, cleaner vision.

    As a woman myself, sometimes I can’t help but admire a fellow woman’s behind.

    Im a straight woman, and I check out everyone’s butt when I have the chance.

    Yes. Even yours.

    Why wait for them to bend over?

    I have been on medication now for years that has destroyed my sex drive and I still do it. It’s like a biological imperative that comes straight from the brain stem. I don’t even get any enjoyment from it, it simply happens.

    Bisexual here, i look at all butts. I do not discriminate. Not in a creepy way though, just a quick glance “oh thats nice” and look away. you gotta be respectful!

  42. speedball281 Avatar

    My train of thought: “Don’t look,don’t look,don’t look,don’t look,oh damn that’s a booty,damnit look away and don’t be a perv,man fluorescent lights are so unnatural, I wonder what shade of green would look good on my car”

    Do girls look at men’s? I don’t – but sure lookin at girls’ butts is just necessary to make sure they don’t need my help picking something up

    We don’t usually wait until they bend over.

    It’s hardwired into our brain.
    Same for knowing eye color

  50. weesgegroet Avatar

    I always look, even if she doesn’t bend over.

  51. Bloodcrypt0 Avatar

    Immediately. Worse is because i react to movement, so im going to be looking just because im curious as to why you’re bending over.

  52. PowderedMilkManiac Avatar

    We look before they bend over.

  53. TossmySalad88 Avatar

    Not always, sometimes we were already looking.

    Gay men probably dont, if your wife is around , not sure , but otherwise we do.

  55. PorkbellyKash Avatar

    Um. Don’t wanna sound like an a**hole, but I think it depends on the looks.

    Just trying to be honest. Don’t roast me.

  56. ColonBowel Avatar

    I do but I’m very respectful. At the pool, I only stare at the covered parts.

    Sure. If I find the woman attractive I’ll steal a glance. But no more than a glance, otherwise it becomes creepy.

    Yeah we all do. Probably a quick glance at most. It seems to be biological

    Ngl it is a stereotype but not? Like not all dudes but be real its human nature. If my homie bends over to pick something up ill look I dont know why? Im not even gay

    There’s definitely an instant eye dart, before it’s conscious and your brain can move them away

  66. cofeeholik75 Avatar

    I think at our basic level testosterone and hormones always come to the forefront, as the immediate purpose of existence for living organisms is survival and reproduction.

    The rise of consciousness changed everything. So our brains kick in and override our primal directive.

  67. Aggravating_Cold_256 Avatar

    I think virtually certain (if it can be done inconspicuously) that all straight men will look. It’s almost an evolutionary automatic response to a female adopting a mating position.

    I always stare at my wife’s butt when she bends over. If I’m close, I give her the obligatory smack on the rear end.

  73. Economy_Care1322 Avatar

    I look. I don’t ogle. It’s really not even sexual as much as huh, look at that. I guess that’s a lie. I don’t check out men’s butts, but it’s still not overt.

  74. Cosmicxss Avatar

    99% of the time when it happens. Doesn’t have to be staring, but always an often even involuntary quick look.

    Yes, I immediately zoom in with my camera-eyes, on her butt. Can’t help it.

    Bending over, standing up, leaning against a wall, walking away, strapped to a butterfly chair, we’re always looking at your butt. It’s like asses and eyes are monopole magnets.

    The damn thing is, it doesn’t really matter whether we’re actively trying to NOT look at your butt, we’re still gonna buzz the camera for a half a second.

    Most are trying to find out what she dropped and gauge it’s value.
