How is it women notice men checking them out but I’ve never noticed women doing it to men, and especially me?

Note: I’ve been told that they were checking me out before, so I know it’s happening.

They have wider range of vision iirc

Real

Source please. This sounds ridiculous.

I did some digging, couldn’t find any credible definitive data saying that women have superior peripheral vision to men

[u/BigDigger324 → u/Remarkable-Okra6554]

What sounds ridiculous? The 100 thousand years of evolutionary biology?

[u/Matsisuu → u/BigDigger324]

In ancient humans, there was both male and female hunters. Is there some evidence of women being nest defenders? Are you sure there weren't any male warriors doing the defending?

Evolution doesn't sound ridiculous, but there needs to be some support for this this claim.

[u/Hot-Ground-9731 → u/[deleted]]

I don't. It's ridiculous

[u/Matsisuu → u/[deleted]]

All I found is difference in recognising colours.

Edit: I found also a mention that men see movement and details from distant better.

[u/Sciuridaeno3 → u/[deleted]]

Sure, its his job to back up your claims

[u/neilmac1210 → u/Sciuridaeno3]

Cool.

I didn't suggest women can't read maps, that was the name of the book. But well done for doing your own research.

[u/GimmeCoffeeeee → u/[deleted]]

It gets even more ridiculous when you have glasses and the other 30% of your vision not covered by them is blurred

I think the evolutionary pressure of peripheral vision diminishes with a larger group

It’s not like one women is scanning 360 degrees and every bit of peripheral vision helps her see more of that and protect a baby, propagating her Hawkeye genes. I imagine there’s a whole gaggle of women/kids and if one of them was advanced enough to realize twigs make noise when you step on them (they probably were), and that they can move these twigs to make an alarm, and eventually a fence, this evolutionary pressure diminishes further.

How food is split up probably has much more of an effect, since defending the nest, if they did that, is a collective effort that benefits the group. I don’t see how one women’s kids would fair better than another unless they’re all split up and relying on their own abilities to protect them
