Men Staring at Women - A Survey Report

The wandering eyes of men…According to a 2009 survey by Kodak Lens Vision Centers, the average male wastes almost an entire hour – 43 minutes to be exact – eyeballing up to 10 different women every day of his life.

In a single year, this adds up to 259 hours, or almost 11 days spent on looking at women! Between the ages of 18-50, it comes to a total of 11 months and 11 days. 

Compare this to the 20 minutes that women spend looking at 6 guys each day. The center interviewed 3,000 Brits and established that as much as most people are flattered at the idea of being gazed at, not everyone enjoyed it – of course. 16% of women felt uncomfortable when men stared at them, while 20% considered it embarrassing.

Supermarkets were identified as the #1 ogling venue, and next up was bars and night clubs. Almost half of the men interviewed admitted their eyes were instantly drawn to a woman’sfigure, with almost the same number of women first attracted to a man’s eyes.
