Looking at a woman with lust?

Not the same as noticing a pretty woman or how they have symmetrical features or even how some physical features are out of proportion...

Because then you would be blind or dead or incapable of relating to other humans.

However,
Just because women are pretty does not reduce their humanity down to a list of physical characteristics either.

And because a woman can best be described in a positive manner by saying "she has a nice personality" doesn't mean that it's gonna hurt to look at her either.
I've seen many pretty dogs that I'd never pet.

So...
Maybe Jesus had something to say about all of this that the legalistic people finger wagging and brow beating are missing.

Love they neighbor but don't get caught?
Nope....
That's not it.
Love thy neighbor as thyself.

Key in on "as thyself " .

Meaning you can't play chess against yourself as you always know your strategy. It's never hidden. Because you KNOW you. How about knowing others? Going beyond the surface physical characteristics to see the person behind the skin. And then you find out that the "pretty girls" are rather boring and shallow. They know all about fashion, workout and diet routines but knowing anything about real struggles or hardships? Nope. Muscle ache because you just butchered and deboned 5, 80lb cases of chickens to grind up in the meat grinder? Uhhhh....very unlikely.

So....
Unless you are a complete pervert and can't see past the physical aspects of a woman. Don't sweat the fact that you find a woman pretty in some fashion.

Noticing she's pretty as a different story other than lusting. And when I was telling this person that they would fall I meant probably more than likely when they're alone not that they would give in to straight adultery and you know what follows in that I got to go into detail I'm trying to use some discretion here. I pray we all find a wife or a husband so we don't have to live like this man it's hard it's the most difficult thing to get rid of. These are parts of our bodies were talking about man not anything we can put in us or do outside of her body I hate it. God I want to leave this earthly tent

Jenny Hegseth in a $42 evening gown.

Not $10,042....or even $4,200 or $420. Just $42. She got it on sale and figured out she looked great in it.

Hegseth is a lucky man in many ways.

Look at her guns she has for arms....she would absolutely beat him to a pulp if he cheated on her like he did his first wife.

Lusting after a woman means you want to get into her knickers
Noticing a pretty woman is just admiring her, I suppose the difference is self-control?

idk you tell me.

I'm sure women work in the chicken factory as well alongside the men. Don't underestimate women. We're not all constantly looking in the mirror checking out our butts.

It means you see her as a whole person and more than a cardboard cut-out characature of a person.
Every guy who has a blend of female and male friends knows a few physically pretty women who they would never want as a romantic partner ever in a million years....even if they were the last person on the planet.

It's like when Chandler on Friends began dating Janice...
for whatever reason....

Everyone was performing an intervention for good reasons....he did not need to be dating her.

Except Janice wasn't that pretty. But even if she was....there's still solid reasons not to date women like that.

Why cos of her nasal whiny voice?

Obviously Mr Epstein wasn't looking at women with lust. He was looking at young girls. Especially with no clothes on.

No, just no.

Man I will make it simple. If you have any conviction what so ever don't do it. Romans 14:14.

Wait now....
I'm SB....
We have an expression..
If you ever have felt guilty you always are.

Feelings are not always an accurate assessment. Such as these nasty cases of imposter syndrome and demand resistance I've got.

There's a LOT of people very confused about what love really is for a spouse. And it's often confused with lust.

The two are not the same.

Where is there confusion. If you have any conviction then how could it not be wrong? Looking and admiring is not bad. But if you're gawking and addressing her with your eyes you got an issue that you need to stop

You are taking yourself way too seriously.

Relax....I need a nap myself.
 
I can't blindfold a guy
So I just let them look but they cannot touch.

Other solution is to wear a burka, or an oodie.
 
I go for the oodie, but it will get hot in summer, so not sure what to wear then. Sarong? Oh but it wraps around your body, at least not naked. Sari?
Can't wear a sack, that is unacceptable fashion. Sack dresses are too short anyway. Can't win
