Everyone knows that there is a major difference between men and women. I don't just mean physically either. There are some guys with boobs bigger than lots of women. Over the past few months, my eyes have been opened to how women interact.

It doesn't seem to matter who is around (friends, family, significant others), but women have absolutely no qualms about pointing out the attractiveness (cute, hot, sexy, etc.) of other people. And, it doesn't even seem to matter what sex the attractive person is. To me, this type of behavior would be expected when women are fraternizing by themselves. However, it's boggling that this type of behavior goes on in mixed company, especially when boyfriends or husbands are around.

Guys just don't work this way. Yeah, if we are hanging out without the accompaniment of women, we act exactly like you think we act. We are rude and ruthless to each other. It's fun for us to embarrass the hell out of other guys around us. We will talk about women and how hot they are. The talk may even get a little saucy. But we would never discuss the attractiveness of a woman in front of our girlfriend or wife. If we said another guy was attractive, we might as well paint a big rainbow across our chest.

So why is it that women have no problem discussing who's a hotty but men never bring it up? Because there is a double standard. Guys can't get away with it. If we say something about another woman, we get to play 20 Questions about why we said she was pretty. In the end, the wife or girlfriend gets mad because we are looking and/or because she doesn't look like the woman we are commenting on. In some cases, we might even get smacked for looking and commenting.

But if women make comments and their boyfriend or husband question them, they get plenty of excuses about how it's harmless and there's nothing wrong in looking. And then they are left with a giggle as if nothing happened and there's no problem. So what's a guy to do?
