Could you tell if he were looking at the women in blue, or at something else out of frame in that direction? Or maybe he was more obvious about looking at them just prior to this photo.

He was looking at them. Maybe I caught him already taking his gaze off them, or they already made a step forward, I can't tell now. But he was looking at them. And I think he did not want to be very obvious about it either.

I believe it. When I was at a gym a number of years ago, a man was looking like this at a woman: 8 O or maybe 8D

Supposed to be wide eyes and a huge grin... because she was facing away, and I was thinking how obvious he was being about it.

This happens all the time. And the first split second is usually shameless because it is pure instinct before people realise what they are doing and start managing it (trying not to be obvious or jut stop). I am surprised the last time you saw this was a number of years ago.

Have you ever observed women looking at men in such a fashion?

[topum.livejournal.com]

Yes but much less often. And not quite in the same way, they do it a bit differently I think.

Women are socialized to be a lot more subtle about it, in my experience.

Ha! Dad isn't the only one looking, the dude behind him on the cell phone is looking too I think. As well as that guy directly behind him walking, and the older guy walking behind the two beauties. I'd look too, they are pretty girls, I love the red hair on the one to the left.

Ha ha, you are good!

Not "even if you are..", but rather: especially if you are a dad on duty... A very vunlerable position: you begin to think that you´re not in the Premier League any more, that your game is over...

[topum.livejournal.com]

You must be hanging out with much more realistic and modest dads than I do.

[diejacobsleiter.livejournal.com]

Maybe. But what I meant to say is that I saw how people in a dad´s position begin to exaggerate their interest to other girls and become more adventurous don-giovannis because they want to prove themselves that they are still in the Premier League. (Castration complex?) Didn't look like modesty to me...

[topum.livejournal.com]

The dads I know are very sure they are super champs in super premier league even when they are not anywhere near already. So yours seem to be more realistic / modest.

[diejacobsleiter.livejournal.com]

But they never give up!
