We like to WATCH....

I was talking to my wife the other day after she caught me peeking into her shirt. She told me to quit it and then wondered why I was sneaking around, trying to catch a glimpse of something that I could see and do see every day. I reminded her about one of the things that women never seem to understand about us: we are visual creatures. Furthermore, men love gets sneak peaks at something that's supposed to be covered up. It is the sole reason for lingerie! Ask any man which is sexier to him, a woman standing in his bedroom doorway completely naked or a woman standing there wearing some revealing lingerie. Most men go for the latter! Why? Because men love sneak peeks. (note: this is in no way to imply the totally naked woman won't get our attention too. Feel free to employ THAT tactic too!) An entire industry caters to that one truth about the heterosexual male species. Unfortunately, women never seem to want to believe that it's actually true. I'm here to tell you all that it is.


It starts early too. As adolescents, we don't want to necessarily sleep with every girl in school buuuuuuut if we could sneak a peek at a forbidden body part, most men will admit to that basest carnal inclination! And this applies even to the girls that we weren't attracted to! There is something about being able to say, "I saw something I wasn't supposed to" that is exhilarating. We ARE hard wired like that. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, it's true. Sorry....LOL


I think that it is unfortunate that women don't function this way as well. I often feel at a loss for things to do that are comparable to the donning of lingerie for my wife. Any "sexy" outfits created for men will always have the OPPOSITE effect to the one that was desired. Men, don't do it. I promise you it will NOT end well!


So what is the solution. Women, I refer you to the famous Cosby episode where grandpa Huxtable recanted a story about a burlesque dancer who would "show a little bit of shoulder, then take it away". Grandma Huxtable was furious because that memory was SO vivid in his mind. Men remember things like that....always. Why I still remember when my wife....ummm....errr....well....let's just say it was memorable...


So if I can give one piece of advice it would be for women to believe the truth: men like to watch. Ladies, give 'em something to look at.
These are my thoughts....what are yours?
