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.

I'm guessing that women don't just stare at your crotch.The whole time they're talking to you

Even if they did I'm not convinced I'd notice. I'd probably just think I was making her uncomfortable and she was staring at the floor to avoid eye contact

Relatively recently I was at work and one of my female coworkers told me that there have been multiple conversations amongst the other female staff about my penis. It blew my mind because not only was I not aware the outline of my dick shows through my scrubs, but also I did not know that women were looking and talking to each other about it. I'm not a particularly shy person but this did catch me off guard.

Anyway, ever since then I have caught other female staff looking at my crotch. I would have never noticed had my coworkers not told me it was going on.

That’s weird did that make you uncomfortable? If so you should call them out

Unless those conversations were them attempting to figure out which one of them had to bite the bullet and let you know in case it was accidental (and even then it’s still weird as hell) that sounds like sexual harassment.

Arms, they like arms. When I had nice arms women would touch them all the time. Randomly as they walked past. People I worked with and strangers too.

That's socially accepted sexual harassment. I hated that when I was buff and fit.

Yeah, you nailed it here....I have muscular and very veiny arms....i catch women checking out my arm veins all the time. Honest, i only notice because my wife does it to me constantly, and she is very blatant and vocal about what she is looking at...so i definitely notice when i get those same arm glances from women...like i can see them tracing my veins with their eyes in the middle of a conversation

I'm ngl I struggle maintaining eye contact and usually look more down and always end up concerned that they think I'm staring at their chest

A woman I worked with WOULD stare at my crotch the entire time.

It's not a stare, but women be looking the bulge for sure. Double glances.
