Men Spend a Full Year Ogling Opposite Sex

Males ogle women for a solid year of their lives, study finds

Share

(Newser) – Men check out 10 women every day, spending an average of 43 minutes with their eyes fixated on a member of the opposite sex—adding up to a full year over a lifetime, researchers tell the Sun. A Kodak Lens Vision study found that the wandering eye is not unique to men—women spend 20 minutes a day on six men, a total of 6 months of their lives.

Men are renowned for looking at women but it's interesting to see just how long they spend doing it. A year of your life is a long time to spend with your eyes fixed on the opposite sex. - Mark Ireland, Kodak Lens Vision Centres

An entire news cycle later and the newser editors still are keeping this outrageous photo up on grid. Damn you jerks!!! How can anyone miss the real point here? Why was this picture chosen (a second time) for the grid? Why is it being used to illustrate a story that's supposed to be about science and health? This is clear exploitation of the Presidency by newser. It feeds the racism of that segment who would be inflamed by ANY black man ogling a white woman. It is no better than the crass opportunism of Beck and Dobbs. It is an unfair and dishonest photo that misrepresents the facts. Everyone agreed about that from the get go. newser is unwilling that it made a BIG mastake here. This is even worse that putting the "Joker Obama" picture on the grid. But to do both on the same day totally sucks. It is inexcusable. It is worse than anything Corona_king ever did. I think it was my ranting and raving here that got the newser editors to stop using "GREENIES" in any headline for a story about environmentalists. With that success to bouy my efforts, I will not rest until newser stops this kind of SICKENING ABUSE.

It is Michelle, Obama's wife, whom he is reaching out to to help down the steps. She is just outside the photo at the lower left. This picture was cropped. Whoever posted it is being dishonest. Reply
