What do you think of men who do this?
At work we have this trash collector. He's a young guy of 20 or 22.
He frequently lowers his gaze when he talks to women. Like he never looks you in the eye. Just the 1st glance then he looks down/away.
He's a religious muslim and in Islam that's part of the teachings. It's called غض البصر. Don't stare so you don't get turned on.
But it's an obsolete one nowadays and most don't do it anyway.
Some women get offended by the extreme lack of eye contact. Some are trying to mock & tease him.
As a whole we kinda find it funny & out of place bc he's overdoing it. With the guys his eye contact is just fine.
But – personally I kinda feel bad for him and think it's cute. He's very polite and sort of shy otherwise. I told my female coworkers to leave him tf alone.
