it's way creepier to ask for consent to look up the stairs in a staircase than it is to just do it.
"ma'am, i don't want to be a creep, so i need to know if you ENTHUSIASTICALLY CONSENT to having my eyes look in the direction of my travel. I AM NOT A CREEPER"
Yes, that's very correct too.
Wasn't the point I was trying to get across though.
But I get it, morality and ethics are very broad and gray, and people differ in what they think is okay. Some people would feel uncomfortable and do what they can to avoid it, while others think, eh, no harm, no foul, I'm just looking, right?
I do have to wonder what feelings if any the latter get if they get caught doing it. Again, probably a mix.
Why are Americans so prudish? If someone's attractive, they attract attention. It doesn't mean you're going to assault someone if you look at them. Geesh.
Leave it to a non-American to ruin a joke thread with an incessant need to criticize Americans.
