What are some ways you subtly try to stare at attractive people?

That’s what sunglasses are for. Sure you’ll look like a douche for wearing sunglasses indoors, but it’s better than looking like a creepy perv.

Rude to stare? Is it fuck!!
Rude would be placing your hand down ya pants & waggling ya junk :D
So long as it’s not glaring like a fucked up rapist, then let her know you like what you see, might even get a cheeky smile back & then you get a free semi…no losers here.

I am walking down the street and I see an attractive woman coming my way. Coyly, without her noticing my glance, I look her over. When she passes, I look her right in the eye, smile and say, “Nice shoes.”

I don’t stare, it might creep them out. But if I’m looking elsewhere and they walk into my line of vision I’ll take a quick look.

I stare in my imagination. First just a casual glance and look away keeping the image in my mind. Then I just admire what I just saw. I don’t dare take a second look.

None, really – I get to stare overtly because I’m a woman. I learned recently that things get a lot more complicated for you guys.

If you’re in a retail location, you can often bend down to look at something on a lower shelf and get a good look between the shelves.

Adjust a ball cap brim. Pull it down [look] then push it back up and wiggle it a little like you’re re-seating it. Barring that, you can sometimes ‘have a headache’ and rub your forehead with your thumb and index finger while you check things out.

Airport, you could sit in a chair, put your head back, and sit with your eyes only slits like you’re ‘resting your eyes’.

Find bright sun and ‘shade’ your eyes.
Find deep shade and just look as you like!

Watch the people on another floor via atrium.

Pretend you have something in your eye, and you’re just randomly staring in that direction because you’re distracted trying to get it out.

Lastly, just be bold and stare. You don’t know any of those people and they don’t know you. They’re more likely to think you might find them familiar as they are to think you a perv.

With all the recordable devices these days, if you see someone you want to get a better look at you can slyly take a vid of them with your phone, tablet, etc. and view it later out of their presence. You can position yourself so that you are almost directly in front of them then glance over the top of a magazine or newspaper you hold high enough so they are near eyelevel.
