I certainly can’t speak for all men, but I would say that most of us don’t see underage girls as “sexual beings”…. Even though we are hardwired biologically to notice them.
But if you also notice, pretty much everyone from Toddlers to the elderly ogle beautiful girls and women. It’s just that when a middle-age man does women will call it creepy… Without knowing anything about what the man is thinking. He most likely is thinking the same thing as the toddler and the elderly it’s just a beautiful girl.
