its the macho stuff.  they want to show how independent they are and how they can work on you. Guys never learn smart people have more respect for those that show respect than smart a--es.

I THINK THEY ARE IDIOTIC POO POO BRAINS!! sorry but you should see the freakin retards at my schools cheer team, believe me they aren't that bright, they think that if they can do a bunch of routines that'll get themselves noticed then get guys and all that or maybe they do it cause they like being thrown in the air or flashing panties.

There are several reasons for this. Most men would have a natural respect for the curves of the female body. The most pronounced would be those of the breast and the gluteus maximus. This answer is similar to that of why a monkey would be interested in something shiny: it catches their eye. The breast has also become an icon of sexuality, something hidden from plain view, while also displayed proudly by many women. It is also well known that it is a sensitive area for the woman and causes arousal if caressed. Another aspect is that of the connection with their mother. As an infant many children may be nursed but the real connection is in how they are held. Most children are held to their mother's breast, close to their heart and it becomes known to them as a symbol of warmth and love. It also is a symbol of safety or security as they see their mothers as protecting them and this ideology continues into adulthood. There are a few other reasons, such as other men pointing out the breasts more commonly on a woman than much else and peer pressure otherwise.

I think it has a lot to do with the culture.  I see this in teenage boys a lot - they are taught that to be men, they need to have sex with as many different women as possible.  A lot of music videos consist of the male band members surrounded by a bunch of scantily clad models dancing suggestively.  Hugh Hefner is a status symbol.  Boys are told they need to "sow their wild oats."  There's this attitude that women are there to be used sexually.  \n\nBoys are brought up to be "tough," because, of course, as everyone knows, men are logical and women are emotional (this is totally flawed because both sexes have the capacity to be emotional and logical).  From early age, boys are expected to surpress their emotions, not to cry, not to want to cuddle with stuffed animals, not to show anything to deep.  This leads to a disconnect of sex and love - sex is just a biological impulse, something that feels good and has no other purpose.  Anyone who tries to teach that women need to be repected as human beings, and that boys need to learn that it is okay to be sensitive, are accused of being "politically correct," "feminazis," or "yogurt-eaters."  So nothing much changes.\n\nIt's a shame, because it does both men and women a disservice and a lot of hurt.  Thankfully, it seems a lot of men do grow past this "screw anything that moves" stage and learn that having a lasting connection with someone is more valuable than a series of one-night stands.

Because high school guy are going through puberty and want to fulfill their fantasies. And they wanna look cool in front of their friends so they don't want someone unattractive to show to their friends.

lol. ya, sort of.\nSome are just doing it as kicks or fun.  Some because that is what they really want to be, female.  Alot I think put up female avatar's though, cause guys would be more likely to give them points than to another guy, right answer or not.

here's the deal.. guys compete with eachother at sports, women compete at who can look the best (generalization of corse).. so women are more catty at least toward eachother.

Because you're talking to the wrong people. People who find that kind of behavior acceptable would naturally applaud its accomplishment. People who don't, male or female, won't. It really is as simple as that.

Well, "lads" look at bums/legs/boobs becausethey find it sexualiy appealing. I myself prefer the boobs

It's a primal thing.  Men see big boobs and wide hips and deep down inside their little minds they think "oooh I bet she could birth some children".  Of course, somewhere along the way this is just dumbed down to "Oooh boobs".  Men are simple dumb creatures like that.  It takes very little to make them happy and keep them that way.

because they want the guy to like them

They are kind of shaped by our society...\nA girl feels obligated to impress the guys that she likes, (usually regardless of fashion) and attract them to her. If all goes well they will go out.\n\nThis is just an average case, btw; many guys care about their looks, but don't need to spend as much time on dress, hair, and accessories!\n\nIf not the above, they like dressing up to reflect their mood or personality...It's one of the best forms of expression!\n\nIt's just how it is ;)
