Is He Looking or Just Wired That Way

Is He Looking or Just Wired That Way?"
Why Men Are Such Visual Creatures (and Why That’s Not Always a Bad Thing)

By Khanyisa Manganyi

Let’s be honest. At some point, every woman has wondered: “Why is he staring?” Whether it’s the curve of a hip, the color of a dress, or the way you flipped your braids in the sun—chances are, he saw it. And not only did he see it, he noticed it with a level of detail that could qualify him as a private investigator.

But why? Why are men so drawn to what they see?

Well, it’s not always because they’re shallow. Sometimes, it’s just... biology with a touch of high definition. Science has shown that men’s brains light up like traffic lights when exposed to visual stimuli, especially anything labeled “beautiful” or “curvy.” It’s like their minds are WiFi-connected to their eyes. Boom—signal received. And while women also appreciate beauty, men tend to process it quicker, louder, and with zero buffering.

From the beginning of time—literally the Garden of Eden—sight has played a major role in human choices. Remember David and Bathsheba? Yep, he saw. And then he saw some more. That little peek from the rooftop led to an entire soap opera the Bible didn’t even need, but here we are. So if you're wondering why your guy notices everything from your new earrings to that woman who walked past with heels like gunshots, it’s not always disrespect—it’s wiring.

But here’s the good part: men may be visual, but they’re not robots. A real man, a wise man, will eventually stop just seeing and start looking deeper. Physical beauty might catch the eye, but a peaceful spirit, a wise mind, and a kind heart will arrest it. Yes ma’am, men may look—but it’s your character that’ll make them stay. And that’s where you shine brighter than any filter on Instagram.

The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 31:30 that “Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Now that’s real glow. It’s not Maybelline—it’s divine favor, baby.

So no, you don’t need to fight for attention with the whole world. Just walk in your God-given glow. Be the kind of woman whose worth is not just seen but felt. Let them look—but let them find Christ when they look at you.

And if he’s still glued to visuals? Just smile and say, “It’s okay, God made sunsets for a reason.”

đź’ĄBoom! You’ve just read the blog equivalent of cocoa and lightning—sweet but unforgettable. Stick around, the next article might just BLOW your mind.

How to Take Off from Grass to Grace There’s a special kind of magic in a “grass to grace” story. It’s the kind of tale that makes your heart swell with hope, your sides ache from laughter, and your mind race with the possibility of your own success. We all love a good underdog story—whether it’s the billionaire who once lived in a shack, the footballer who sold sachet water as a kid, or the local celebrity who once worked as a mascot at a fast-food joint. But what really makes a “grass to grace” journey? Is it luck? Hard work? A fairy godmother? Or just a series of unfortunate events that miraculously turn fortunate? Let’s find out.

What Is the Sirius Star and Why You Shouldn’t Miss It

What Is the Sirius Star and Why You Shouldn’t Miss It On a clear night, when the world quiets down and the stars begin to appear one by one, a sparkling gem lights up the sky brighter than all the others — Sirius, the "Dog Star." But blink (or stay glued to your phone) and you might just miss one of the most spectacular sights heaven has to offer. A Star Worth Watching Sirius isn’t just another twinkle overhead. It’s the brightest star in our night sky, shining with an intensity that has captured the awe of stargazers for thousands of years. Located in the constellation Canis Major — which charmingly translates to "Greater Dog" — Sirius lives up to its reputation as the alpha dog of the night. This brilliant star is about 8.6 light-years away from Earth, making it one of our closest stellar neighbors. In astronomical terms, that’s practically next door (if you consider "next door" being about 50 trillion miles away). How to...
