Straightforward, NO, men could learn a thing from women in this regard

Yes and No
Yes, beacuse men are pigs, or can be.(And yes I am a man.) They like beautiful things are will fantasize about them with no regards to what the other person thinks or feels. Is this right? No it isn't, but thats the way some men are. You can't escape that. I know that different people give off different vibes which draw out certain emotions automatically. This can be bad if you are a naturaly sensual person. I wouldn't take offense though, because guys usually think that it's a complament. I know women think much differently than men do, but if you have a positive outlook on the situation than it doesn't seem so bad.
No, because women are not objects and should be treated as human beings no matter what they look like. They should all be given respect and treated like a lady, not a piece of meat waiting to be devoured. Men have a long way to go as a whole and need the understanding of good hearted women out there to help guid us on the propper path. Plus men need to learn what it means to be RESPONSIBLE for their own actions.
Thanks for leaving me a note.

this happens with most of us all the time.
its really very humiliating and insulting when you realize you are being looked up only for your bodily beauty.Here in india some people dont appreciate your decorum but they will drool over your looks.
But if you try to ignore lust you feel as if you are getting into a vicious cycle,and feel helpless instead keep your human nature above everything and behave only as if you are a human being and not a woman or a man.That ways people start percieving you as a person and except for sometimes it really works.i also like to get attention and to get appreciated for beauty but with geniune feelings and not lust.And to escape that gaze i prefer being femine only in front of my man,and no one else.Moreover if you take care about the kind of clothes you wear and carry yourself then theres not much to worry about.i said too much...ooopps

Straightforward
This is a good question. I suppose that one can't help being looked at when out in public, short of being invisible. But if a man simply looks at a woman's eyes while speaking with her, then there should be no problem. I suppose this may be the thinking behind certain Muslim garb. I also think that if western women were to de-emphasize certain attributes which are obviously meant to grab attention, it would go some way towards solving the problem. But of course, those are the ones who are hoping to be looked at lustfully, I suppose. I guess there's somebody out there for everyone.

straightforward
I was subjected to this when I was younger. It is insulting when you want to be noticed for being a human being, and you find out that you're only being used for your appearance.
