It
never hurts to find yourself ogling as a man. Really. I say this because women,
even without fake eyelashes and boobs or make up are deliciously good to look
at
So men ogle. It is a skill that has
been passed from forefathers and when a daughter of Eve sashays past, they stop
and stare — at her curves, eyes, lips, legs, hair, gait… Yes, men stare
Seven-year-old boys stare. Grandpas
ogle. Presidents and the ordinary man alike can’t help staring when a lovely
woman walks past. Sorry, let me correct that — she doesn’t have to be lovely.
When a woman walks past, even a witch, men stare.
They bump into lampposts, smash into
walls, drive off the road and risk bicycle accidents because when a woman
passes by, they can’t help turning and craning their necks for that last look.
I remember walking a few times with
some of my male friends as they turn and catch a glimpse at another girl pass
by. Particularly with Efo Mawuli from Ghana, he would look in the direction the
lady is supposed to go; making it seem like the lady fell into his view path, and
then he stares. If he’s interrupted, be sure he would turn the second time to
catch the last view. He says every time he’s questioned, ‘staring at ladies feed
the male eyes’.
He even has another school of thought that staring at ladies
boobs improves their health and adds up to their life span.
Another friend from Kenya, Ted
confessed to his childhood girlfriend that he couldn’t help but stare at
another girl passing by because, ‘ the woman walking ahead of us had a bottom
so well shaped only an artist could have sculptured it.
Her legs evoked the
rumble of distant thunder and when she walked, her grace was such that you
understood instantly why Pokot warriors (used to) raid livestock for dowry’’. She
was simply beautiful. After staring he turned to the girlfriend and said, ‘you
are the most beautiful girl on earth’.
How interesting! I bet you are wondering
if the girlfriend whacked him across the face, but fortunately, that was in
1993, long before Nyeri women began Nyerifying their men. Instead, she laughed
and said, “Okay!”So when they passed the lovely thing, he did what every
respectable man would do in similar circumstances: he twisted his neck around
and ogled — for just one last time.
Ha! And I almost forgot about Dr
Ampaw Maurice,the most celebrated legal practitioner/commentator of the 2012
Election Petition in Ghana. He stated on Viasat TV that staring at women is something he
loves to do. But most glorious of all, being a man allows you to behold the
scented flowers that God bequeathed you on an almost daily basis;
A WOMAN. I am
proud to be watched, what about you?.
