predominately some cultures that stare more blatantly than others. Sure any man may stare, but some do it with a lot more finesse than other and don't make it so noticeable. To me the oddest part is that they continue even when I have confronted them while accompanying my wife. I have shouted, threatened and come close to blows and some don't even have the manners to feel ashamed and look away. Again, I chalk it up to cultural attitudes to women, low levels of education and social class, more than race.
