lust????

[salc20]

Is it wrong for a guy to just admire how beatiful a girls is?? Say a girl is walkin down the street and the guy thinks she is attractive gives her a double take. And he is not thinking lustful thoughts but just thinking she is beatiful.

And to add to that, girls who always get these looks and notices it, do you like it that a guy looks at you??

Thanks

Sounds like stalking there, buddy. I'll take in a glance or two when I'm good, and start looking elsewhere so it doesn't spin out of control. The difference between temptation and sin is time, as is the difference between legit attraction and lust in your case.

Oh. I thought you meant follow her home.

A quick look, glance (even a smile) = ok
Staring, leering = creepy
Staring me down until I'm out sight = scary

If you lust for somebody that if they are taken or not married, that is also a sin. I admit to being one of them. It is like you having intercourse with them without their consent it seems.

Only you know your intent. You already know what the Bible says about it.

I guess it comes down to the question of whether the human form can be admired the way one may admire a painting, and if that's the way you're admiring women.

It's fine to admire a person's beauty. But I'd avoid staring at the person until they're out of sight. Most people would find that somewhat creepy.

Admiring a woman for purely aesthetic reasons? That's not wrong.... although it might scare some girls

 

[chanis]

starring until their out of sight umm pretty creepy to me, I'd be totally werided out by someone who did that...it's fine if they look once or twice and then thats it - you've admired enough keep walking buddy...I don't think there's a need to stare...seriously psycho if you ask me...

I do not believe that honestly thinking a girl is beautiful is lust as long as you do not have sexual thoughts or desires.
There is nothing wrong with thinking someone is attractive.

I do find it amusing when men look at me, but I do not necessarily enjoy. Ladies like when the man they want is looking at them. The other men do not matter so much.

Well it also depends on what they look like or if they look at you and you look at them in return.

I don't think there is anything wrong with liking what you see and personally I don't mind it when I catch guys doing double takes or even watching me. There's a difference though between watching and staring...and the staring part is creepy and will usually get a glare from me.

Lust is greed.
It is wanting to use that person to satisfy yourself.

God made us to think that girls are pretty. Nothing wrong with noticing one that catches your eye.

But...guys not girls.

I think you can kind of get a vibe most of the time whether a guy's looking at you in a "creepy" or a sweet way, don't y'all?

The way you're describing it does sound slightly creepy (though you may or may not mean to come across that way), but I think it's totally possible to admire a woman's beauty without lusting. There's a lot of art out there that portrays beautiful women in a non-lustful way. Go to a respectable art museum, and you'll find plenty of beautiful portrayals of the feminine form. I personally like to draw too, and it can be fun to draw women... because they're an inherently beautiful subject. In life, as in art, beauty doesn't have to be erotic.

 

[Sketcher]

Yup. Tasteful portrayals.
