Secret Starers: How Women Gaze At Same Sex… And Clock Cleavage, Cellulite And Greys Within Seconds

So much for us checking out the men…

Apparently women spend longer looking at other women than they do at men, a study has shown.

Researchers have been looking into the “ways of a woman” and discovered that women are far more interested in checking out what “the opposition” look like, than ogling at passing guys instead.

Within seconds we can clock another woman’s shoes, cellulite and height, where their handbag is from and whether or not they have had plastic surgery.

Other women notice if women are thinner than them, while trying to spot dark or unflattering hair roots is another box ticked.

And our priorities are not unlike those of men… turns out looking for a wedding ring is also on the checklist!

The study, carried out by online retailer Swimwear365, also found out that half of the 2,000 women surveyed said they ‘enjoy’ comparing themselves to women they work with or pass in the street.

”There is not a woman on the planet who doesn’t love people watching and having a sneaky look at other women,” Helen Boyle, a stylist for the company said.

”It’s only natural that we compare ourselves and the way we look to how other women dress, do their hair and of course their figure.

”The beach is probably the best place to have a good nose at other women, you don’t usually get to see people half-dressed and in so much detail.

”And of course you can hide behind your sunglasses when you are having a peek.”
