**Possible Triggers**
Would just like to qualify this statement.
When I say men are visual creatures what I mean is that men react more to visual stimulation than women do. Womwn are more stimulated by emotion. I can't remember the names of the studies I am discussing but these are well documented studies in the US, UK and Ausralia. Most women will react with more strength to a dress or soft toy or other inanimate object than they do to a man until it comes time to put the dress on at which time she expects a certain reaction from the man; if she doesn't get it she can get mighty miffed. But will get even more miffed if the man looks at another woman in a dress designed for maximum impact, and she will react in a very negative way.
Women who react feel threatened by the beauty of another female or to the imapct of what that female is wearing; not a dog or a chair or a car or anything else. They also look for the threat of any beauty if they percieve themselves to be less than what they think they should be. The human species is the only one that has a vast difference in looks between the sexes. In the animal kingdom it is the male who must attract the female; in the human game it is a free for all.
I'm not saying women are not visual, they are but they are visual in a different way which is more conducive to making a home look good or inviting. If we take it right down to brass tacks Civilisation has hobbled humans' natural inclination to procreate. What we are dealing with is an emotional/mental reaction to the natural inclination.
Just because a man looks at a woman, it doesn't mean he wants her, that is only an assumption that can be made by the one who reacts to it. It comes to a woman feeling or thinking "My man can look at a 100 women if she's not better looking than me" because in that better looking woman is a huge threat to their happiness in case their man goes off with that woman.
The sexes are very different, and different things stimulate them. A woman will respond to a piece of jewellery more than she will to porn whereas men are stimulated by porn in a way that most women are not. That is one clear delineation in my statement that men are visual creatures,
