Study: Women stare at breast cleavage the same amount of time as men do

[davidn3600]

The next time you see a guy caught like a rabbit in headlights at the nearest pair of knockers, don't roll your eyes. Instead, spare a thought for the woman next to him, who will also be - more often than not - unable to take her eyes off the deep V-neck.

Because, on the contrary to what society would have us believe, it isn't just men who are unable to resist oogling at the nearest cleavage.

According to a recent study, women are just as guilty of the "objectifying gaze" as men - only we seem to get away with it.

Psychologists Sarah Gervais and Michael Dodd employed eye-tracking technology to intricately map the visual behaviour of both men and women as they viewed images of 10 different females with different body types.

When asked to focus on a woman's appearance, study participants - regardless of gender - tended to move their eyes to and then dwelled on a woman's breasts and other sexualised body parts.

9. Sophia's sizing up Jayne? That'll take half an hour.

6. To me, she looks like she's thinking that Jayne needs to be

more refined and modest.

7. They are both wearing very similar dresses. Only the blonde has a bigger chest.

[Hekate]

12. Sophia's wondering when Jayne is going to pop right out

That's what that look means. Wowza.

5. Bullshit.

I have boobs. I see them all the time. They get in my way.

Why do I care about what other women have?

I'd rather look at an attractive man any ole day of the week.

I have absolutely no problem with my homosexual brothers and sisters, but, on the Kinseyan scale, I'm nearly all hetero. I think the male body is much more attractive than the female (I'm female). What I do know is that to each his/her own and I'm fine with that.

8. Reasons are different

10. Astroboobs or real ones?

Because the fakes are like proverbial train wrecks. Nobody can keep from looking.

11. I would bet just about anything more breasts are photographed for women's magazines

than every men's magazine and porno combined by a pretty large margin.
