If I see a beautiful woman, I want to look at her. As long as possible. Maybe there’s even a little fantasy going on about me and her, but if there is, it’s pretty fleeting because in a few seconds, we’re past her and I’ve forgotten her.
What is it that bothers you about this? Do you think I’m going to stop the car and chase her down, knock her on the head, throw her in the back seat and take her home for a threesome? I mean really? Why is there a problem with this? Why does it bother you?
Now, when I’m in my car with my wife, I will try not to do this because I figure it might annoy her. It might be symbolic, somehow, of me wanting to leave her. I don’t know, really. Maybe it’s just annoying because it means my attention is not on the road or not on her. It is true that a large number of accidents are caused by a man taking his eyes off the road to look at a beautiful woman. So much so that it’s pretty much a required joke in any man-bashing comedic movie.
Anyway, I think we look because they attract our interest. The way a Ferrari or fire truck might. It is no more important than that, either.
