Situation: Several years ago, I was chatting with a young man of my acquaintance. He had just finished shopping with his dad, Carl, at a large local mall. "You know, Dad checked out each and every girl and woman from top to bottom. I couldn't believe it." Carl is in his fifties, one of the handsomest of men you'll ever meet, and has been married and divorced many times.
Years ago, I met a younger man, Johann, in his twenties, who checked ME out, from head to toe. It was really a very uncomfortable feeling, especially since I was old enough to be his mother.
Lessons learned: It is in the nature of men to be aware of the opposite sex. Women, also, do this, on a smaller scale. But to stare and obviously mentally undress them is a different matter. That's why it's so important not to be 'headstrong' and 'intent' on marrying someone whom everyone you know is in opposition to you. This is not a wise decision.
Outcome: Carl has aged somewhat and seems less 'wolf-like.' Johann was a foreign exchange student who has since returned to his country.
