Like the comedic monologue in every rom-com you’ve ever seen is that semi-awkward moment where the protagonist sees (and sometimes literally stumbles into) a gorgeous, leading-man-type, hot guy. You can picture it now. The sucking in of your breath, the being slightly overwhelmed by their presence, and the thought of oh my God please don’t let my eyes bulge any further out of my head! It’s completely expected to have certain things pass through your mind during these moments. The media has convinced you that beauty is something you should strive for and try to grasp at, especially when it is within your reach. Why wouldn’t you crave the attention of an attractive man? Just to remind you that you’re not alone in your feelings, here are the thoughts we all have when we see a hottie.
16 Holy Sh*t He’s Hot
This is the standard, OMG reaction that many of you get when a gorgeous hunk of man meat walks in your general direction. It’s the recognition that this is a very attractive man and it’s taking you a minute to really grasp just how attractive. Usually, this is paired with eyes bulging out of your head, head turning, lower jaw dropping and possible perspiration. Just remember to keep it all in your head. Shouting “Holy sh*t you’re hot” at a complete stranger can sometimes be met with strange looks and restraining orders.
15 I’d Do Him
Men aren’t the only ones who can be controlled by their libidos. For women, it usually starts with some slight butterflies in your chest or stomach and it sometimes warms you all the way down to your knees. Fantasizing is completely normal, especially when someone you find incredibly attractive strolls by. You might even have these thoughts and gently bite your lip. Yes, that man is good enough to eat. Remember, it’s guilt-free because men do it all the time. It’s called the “yes or no” game.
14 Uh Oh!
This is a common thought from women who have a hard time controlling themselves in front of a very attractive male specimen. Maybe you have a boyfriend and remember that you can’t just jump him, or maybe you’ve sworn off boys for a while, so you’re thinking uh oh, can I keep it together? You also know why you think he’s hot. Because he’s exactly the type of guy you aren’t supposed to go for. Uh oh, that guy is so hot, what on Earth am I going to do? The answer to that is up to you!
13 He’s Better Looking Than My Ex
First and foremost, of course he is! There aren’t many men out there that aren’t better looking than your awful, lazy, slobby, finally-kicked-him-to-the-curb ex, unless your ex is Ryan Gosling; in which case, our condolences, and alas, this hottie is NOT better looking than your ex. It’s normal to think these things, and the more you notice how beautiful other men are, the easier it is to forget and move the heck on.
12 Is He As Good Lookin’ As My Boyfriend?
This one’s a toughie because everyone does it. Everyone compares their current partner to someone else. It could be your friend’s partner, your cousins partner or that hot guy you just walked past at the drug store. In the world of limitless options (swipe right to party!), it’s normal to question if you made the right choice in picking your partner or if there are better fish in the sea. Just remember, you can look, but you can’t touch.
11 I Wonder If He’s Good In Bed
The cat’s out of the bag. It’s not just men who look at an attractive woman and fantasize about sleeping with him. The difference is that women actually take a few moments to analyze the likelihood of him knowing what he’s doing or if he'll just go at you like a jackhammer… for all of 3 minutes… if you’re lucky. So just keep in mind, it’s okay to think about it, and it’s okay to fantasize about it, but whether or not you proposition a complete stranger is up to you.
10 We’d Have Beautiful Babies
Every woman has fantasized about what her babies with a celebrity would look like. Think Johnny Depp, Matt Damon, Channing Tatum… the list goes on. People are hardwired to scope out their best possible mate. You make decisions based on height, appearance, job, hair colour, and many other factors. Everyone that has made the decision to have babies wants healthy, beautiful babies so go ahead, close your eyes and picture you and Mr. Gorgeous over there having a perfect, beautiful baby boy.
9 I Wonder If He’d Get Along With My Dad
All women have had that one boyfriend who their parents absolutely could not stand. And of course you fought with them and begged them to give him a chance, but you soon found out the feeling was mutual. Let’s face it: it’s just easier and so much less hassle if you’re dating someone who your parents don’t despise so it’s normal when you see a hot guy, or are crushing on someone, to think about these things and hope the next relationship is easier and more amicable for all parties.
8 Oh, He Looks Like…
Chris Evans, Andrew Garfield, Brad Pitt, the guy that lives two doors down from you, the stock boy at the drug store, or that guy you went to kindergarten with; when someone looks familiar, they look familiar, even if he’s a totally gorgeous bombshell of a man. And in that time it takes you to mentally recall who it is exactly that he looks like, you get to gawk shamelessly at his handsome face.
7 What Kind of Shoes Is He Wearing?
It’s so hard to look away from that face, but you inevitably do it; because you have to scope out his clothing. There’s nothing that kills a gorgeous guy more than zero sense of style or really awful shoes. Yes, you’re staring at him and you see how hot he is and yes you want to run across that busy street, jump him and lay a kiss right on him, but you also want to give him the elevator and see if he’s the whole package. Because you deserve the whole package.
6 He’s WAY Too Good For That Girl
You may come across a handsome gentleman and you notice that he’s not alone. If he’s with a girl, you’re going to be prone to making the comparison between him and her. Most outsiders of relationships can look at one from afar and judge whether or not the relationship is ‘equal’. Which one is the better-looking one? Which one dresses better? Which one has the better job? OMG, he should not be with her. Followed usually by he should be with ME.
5 I Wonder If He’d Be My Date To...
All single ladies have that social event coming up that they don’t have a date for. It could be their office Christmas party or their cousin’s wedding, but if they have to endure the gossip in their friend group if they show up without a date AGAIN, they’re going to explode. It may be weird to ask a complete stranger to be your date to a family wedding but you don’t know until you ask! Besides, the open bar might be compelling enough for them.
4 Don’t Stare Too Hard
Yes you’re looking at him and – OH CRAP – you turned your head to follow him – stop that! Look away. Oh my gosh, you think he just noticed that you’re staring but you can’t look away. It’s like a fricking car crash, but it’s just so compelling that you can’t stop. And you keep trying to keep cool and stop staring but you just can’t. So you tell yourself and tell yourself and just pray that he’s not weirded out by your gawking.
3 Wow, Nice Butt
An attractive body is an attractive body, whether it’s male or female. You know that men are happy to gawk at your bod as you walk by wearing your cute attention-grabing dress, so it’s only normal that a hot guy will have you staring at different parts of his body to check out the goods. Of course, this shameless staring will occur after he’s walked past and you’ve turned your head super obviously to watch him walk away.
2 Should I Say Hi?
If you’re one of those girls who’s bally and confident, you likely find yourself thinking this. No hot guy out there is going to intimidate you. You could march right up to any attractive guy in the room and have a conversation, no problem. So when you’re done checking him out, it’s only normal to silently questions whether or not you should go offer a friendly “hi” and introduce yourself. What’s the harm in that?
1 Oh My Gosh, He’s WAY Out Of My League
Yes, you sometimes make the similar comparison you made to him and that other girl, but you sub yourself in, but shame on you! No one is out of you league. You can date anyone you want to. So it’s okay to have the quick thought where you know you want to date him, think that it could never happen, and then remember that if you really wanted to, you could. Put a smile on, catch his eye, purse your lips, keep walking and let him come after you.
