Is checking someone out necessarily an act of attraction? Are lingering looks only about lust? You may have pondered these questions if you’ve ever caught a straight-identifying man casting furtive glances—or downright staring—at other dudes.

One Reddit user recently commented on this hetero behavior, writing, “Anyone else notice stereotypical heterosexual guys staring at other men? It seems no one else notices this, but I have seen it heavily all my life — whether I, myself, have been the target of this, or others.”

He said that he saw a “ripped, blond dude” at this gym “getting stared at by every male in that part of the gym.”

“Like, these guys were catching flies, mouths open, eyes wide, [with] no idea as to how blatant they were,” he added. “Am I just more sensitive and observant to these behaviors? Or do you, too, see these instances?”

Many commenters on the thread could relate. “They don’t just stare, they downright flirt, too,” one wrote.

Another commenter, meanwhile, said one man kept staring at another man on in his building’s elevator. “Now, the guy was pretty handsome — very tall, with long Tarzan like hair. But damn, it felt awkward, because the other guy was eyef*cking him so bad.”

Other Reddit users offered alternative hypotheses. “That’s just bodybuilding life,” one wrote. “There’s a meme about bodybuilding where it’s done for women, but you get admired by men. Everyone looks — definition, vascularity — it’s a weird gray line. Watch [the 1977 film] Pumping Iron, and it’ll explain a lot.”

Another suggested that these lookeyloos are jealous of the other guys’ looks. “I know this is often a first sign that a person is gay, — that is, the gay guy thinks he is looking at guys because he is envious of their looks and physique, but in reality they are attracted to them. But perhaps, for many, it is really envy.”’

But the original poster of the thread stuck to his guns. “I think one of the world’s great lies is that most men aren’t attracted to men,” that user wrote. “I see it frequently. There’s nothing subtle, or anything that can be misconstrued about it.”

Ralf Rangnick praised four Manchester United players after his side got back to winning ways in the Premier League against Burnley.

United were widely criticised after their below-par performance in a 1-1 draw with relegation-battlers Newcastle United earlier in the week, but produced a better display to down Sean Dyche’s Burnley 3-1 at Old Trafford.

Scott McTominay fired the Red Devils in front with an early strike from the edge of the box, and Ben Mee’s unfortunate own goal saw Rangnick’s side take control.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 14th goal of the season before Aaron Lennon netted a consolation goal before half-time, with United moving back into the top six and to within touching distance of top-four rivals Arsenal and West Ham.

Rangnick was pleased with Manchester United’s performance just three days after they underwhelmed at St James’ Park and picked out Mason Greenwood, Jadon Sancho, Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani for praise.

‘As expected it was a very tough physical game against a team who play very physical,’ United’s interim manager told Amazon Prime.

‘We also showed the qualities we have in our team. It was important today to raise the energy level.

‘The whole team performance was a lot better, I was pleased with the performances of our wingers. Jadon did well and Mason. Eddie and Cristiano, the work effort was amazing.’

Manchester United’s victory leaves the side level on points with fifth-placed West Ham and four behind fourth-placed Arsenal, who face defending champions and runaway leaders Manchester City this weekend.

Asked whether finishing fourth is the minimum requirement for United this season, Rangnick added: ‘I wouldn’t say that.

‘It is about taking next development steps. Now eight games in a row without a defeat. It is about taking next steps.’

McTominay, who was named Player of the Match at Old Trafford, has urged his team-mates to ‘get back to basics’ in 2022 as they look to rebuild under Rangnick and enjoy a better second-half to the season.

‘We need to do more and hopefully in 2022 we can do that,’ the Scotland midfielder said. ‘It is about adapting to new methods.

‘We have to go back to the basics of football. We have to tackle, we have to run, we have to create.

‘If we are not running and competing in the first 15 minutes it is going to be difficult, no matter what the quality of our forward players.

‘An old cliche in football. We are going through a transitional period, we can’t look too far ahead in terms of ambitions and goals.

‘We want to enjoy football, there is too much negativity, and if you enjoy it you will end up playing well.’
