Why do men first look at a woman's chest instead of their face?

Why do men first look at a woman's chest instead of their face?

Or the basic answer from most men…we like breasts and looking at them…

Trying to look at her heart but the breasts get in the way..is the corny answer…

Assessing the female body for potential nursing and child raising abilities is the scientific answer..

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?
