Stare at boobs for longer life: Study

Many interesting points raised by all. I have larger breasts and I don't mind if someone glances at me or "the girls". And I don't mind if my boyfriend glances at a cute girl. The part to remember is a "glance", and it's all good! Ogling is just creepy =)

about how your staring hurts the woman you love?

Glad to know that every time I show cleavage I am contributing to the well-being of mankind :)

We had a family friend who lived to be 100. When he was 99 he was visiting our home, but decided he needed a nap. I got him on the couch and leaned over to cover him with a blanket. He said, "Do you know what I really would like to do?" I said, "no". He said I would really like to see some "boobies" once again before I die." I thought about it for a nano second, raised my shirt and he just stared for a few seconds. I put my shirt down, he graciously thanked me and went to sleep. We never mentioned it, but he made it to 100. I laugh every time I think of him.

Stop blaming men for looking at you. As a married man I know that my wife looks at other men because that's also how women are. I've asked her about it and she's told me that she (even before we were together) imagined being with other men. She also knows I imagine being with other women that's cool with her. Neither of us have ever cheated and probably never will. Notice I said probably. You never know what will happen. You as women don't have as many "hot" men to look at as we do women. That's a fact. Do get offended when we look at you cause it's a compliment. Some guys just act differently when giving compliments. By the way rape is wrong.

The study doesn't prove that staring at well-endowed women will make (heterosexual) men healthier. It suggests that being told you can't do it, and actually following those instructions for five years, will surely make you sick! Being told I couldn't eat chocolate for five years would no doubt raise my blood pressure a lot more than actually eating the chocolate would, assuming I didn't do it to excess.

Everybody who is sighted likes to stare at breasts -- heterosexual men and homosexual women because they can't help themselves, homosexual men because they want them, and heterosexual women for the purposes of comparison.

None of this means that one is allowed to be rude. Who says you can stare at any part of a stranger, in person, in public, for any reason? Where does the study say that, and why do people make that assumption?

So would I get the same benefits if I oogle breasts on google? or the real deal?

I have boobs. Ergo, I am a woman.

Anything that increases heartbeat is healthy. Therefore, when man stares at a woman's breasts and his heart beat increases it is healthy. It really is common sense.

I am engaged. I have a fiance and we love each other very much. My brother has an amazing girl friend. Both of us having awesome relationships with our sig figs because we are open and honest. We are both confident in our relationships and we are all secure with each other. When we are walking down the street, my boy friend regularly points out on pretty women, with nice hair etc. As does my my boyfriend to his gf. That isnt cheating its admiring. I do the same, I point out good looking men...

This does not mean we dont love each other. This means we are both confident and secure with each other and we know we will never do anything to jeopardize our rltnship.. Thats all. I know my BF loves me and he loves my body...which does not diminish at all if he says he finds someone else pretty or attractive. As long as I know that he will never do anything to hurt me.

To the women who are on this page and calling this study stupid or demeaning and find this to be an "excuse" for the men they are with to look at more boobs...you are with the wrong men.

To the men whos girl friends get angry when they are looking at other women: You are with the wrong women and/or you should help things by showing your affection and appreciate her more. Maybe then they wont be so insecure.

I have found that if my girlfriend catches me staring at other women's breasts, the ensuing slapping actually reduces my lifespan.

If the woman is wearing a low cut top like the one in the picture then she is asking to get stared at.

I would like a study done on what happens to women who do not want to be oggled. Do their lifespans decrease? That would nullify this study and we would be back to square one.

What BS. Excuse my French. One study is nothing.
Even significant finding don't prove direct correlation.

Sex is healthy, sexual desire and excitement is healthy. this is 100% irrefutable. However ogling a strangers breasts is rude unless you have good reason to suspect that she does want to be ogled. Hints that a female may want to be stared at would be not only in the way a woman dresses but also in her attitude. And some women cannot help but looking suggestive, for example a woman who is in good shape but has a large chest may not be able to avoid wearing a shirt that is tight and in hot weather in order to be comfortable her cleavage may be exposed but she can't help it. Tank tops are the most comfortable way to dress for hot weather and just because some breast may be showing does not mean that it is on display. Perhaps a woman with a playboy bunny or some fun flirty logo would be more accepting to a man's stares. I only suggest that all men take a moment to observe the person before the goods. And i will admit that sometimes it is impossible for a man to not stare and that it is a woman's job to dress herself in the way she want's to be seen in the world. Although beauty and sexuality is a wonderful wonderful thing it is important to be respectful. Women are more than eye candy and some women feel that when a man stares at them when they haven't given any hints it is insulting. So pass by the hot secretary or attractive mother and instead stare at the woman with a V neck glitter tanktop and short shorts. Please choose your eye candy wisely and you will avoid offending anyone and receiving accusations, unless of course the woman in the glitter tank top is just cruel.

I guess this means the stock price for Hooters and Wing House will now skyrocket as they are now healthy places to frequent. Cool.

Greaaaat, now my husband has a scientific excuse :)

Men like to look at beutiful women and women likewise like to look at gorgeous men, it's human nature. Be discreet and respectful about it and no one should get upset. Why is eveyonr so uptight?

I agree with GuyFromSantaCruz. This is one of those studies that makes me wonder how these people ever became scientists at all. Giving men "a doctor's note," if you will, to ogle at breasts is going to be pretty damn relaxing. Whereas men who do it of their own accord, not "in the name of science," might not get the same benefits that the men in this study displayed. The methodology here sounds pretty whack, so I'm not even close to believing in these results.

BUT if they did this study properly and came to the same conclusion--would getting a boob job become an act of philanthropy? ;)

Now, a question: Does it necessarily have to be large breasts? What if that does not fall into one's definition of attractive? And what about gay men? Does this treatment affect them?

I've always had HUGE breasts since I was a child - which was why I endured 2 rapes before I was 16. Sorry guys, but you won't live longer with me; I've kept covered up at all times since then. I always buy heavy clothes and stuff much larger than what fits me to hide. I think those muslim women got it right - COVER UP! Take it from someone whose been through it twice, JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO FLAUNT IT. Women's rights is nice and all that, but my advice could save your lives. STOP giving these men access to stuff they shouldn't unless your attached to them or married to them. Call me whatever you want ladies (and guys), a prude, a nun, boring, blah blah blah. I plan on living a long life while you guys endure the consequences of not listening to someone who knows what its like to have their body physically violated because of the endowments she was given upon birth.

It is natural for men to notice attractive women. It is instinct, and the desire to mate is necessary for the continued survival of any species. I agree that a line is crossed when behavior becomes creepy or involves stalking, but being attracted to someone is not in itself a crime. Some of these women will probably end up wondering why they are old alone and bitter. The obvious answer? You scared them all away dear...

what about us gay guys. dose that meen for gay guys its equal to us staring at guys bugles thru there pants?

I work in a female dominated occupation. It's no big deal to me when my boss says "morning ladies" and forgets I'm there. But I do wear loose pants because my butt is so awesome, if I wore tight pants, none of them would get anything done.

I think it is deeper than just looking at breasts. From birth breast are a source of comfort and food. Then we are wheened from the breast and loose sight of them for years. Puberty hits and then you start to notice breasts again. This time its different and fro the most part they are covered up by societies standards, so they become some what taboo. You want to see them more for that reason, the intrige. With that grows the desire to see them as you grow older. Now comes the advertising and the szhows on TV and the surgries and all. Breast are again put out in the open and its no longer a survial/nurture element but a highly sexual seductive envoronment.

If we were the same society as parts of Africa where tribes people look at breast as only the nurishment of children and for the most part upper clothing is never worn, things would be much different. Its the society we grow up in and have evolved into that casue us to either oggle and stare, become self absorbed or "show off" what we have (either by clothing or enhancment) that makes this article and thread even relvent.

I am a man and I love to look at breast. My wife knows this and I admit this. In the same point, at times I feel that it might be innappropriate to stare. I look (all the time) but in glances (excpet when my wife will point them out) Staring is rude but to acknowledge the fairer sex and attractive and sexy is natural. Its seems like a double edge sword but that is the society that we as a people have created.

I like to be looked at. I work hard as a runner to stay fit and complete. I think inside everyone there is a desire or need to be seen for what they are be it intelecutally or physically. People like to be noticed. Comments welcome.
