"What suggestions do you have for the cold weather days? It's tough to see down a blouse when you can't even see the blouse because the babes are wearing sweaters and long coats."

Yes, that's the toughest part of winter. I have spent a few winters in the snow and cold, so I certainly understand. Even indoors such as malls and restaurants it is much more of a challenge. I do suggest keeping lookout in places such as the grocery store, where the babes could be there long enough to take off a long coat and walk around. Hopefully that includes bending over or squatting down. If you are able to see into any at home, they still have to change clothes, shower, and do the usual routine. I do have a funny memory of the time my windows were so iced up that I had to open one slightly to see out. There I was kneeling down by my living room window at home at night - wearing my heaviest jacket. A guy has to do what a guy has to do.

"Do that many guys really do these things? I thought I was the only one until I started listening to your book. You have absolutely nailed this topic, and it's about time."

Aw, shucks. For years I never gave it much thought until I started noticing other guys looking intently at the babes too. Then I saw them making some of the "mistakes" that I address in the book. I'll admit I wasn't sure how much of an audience there would be when I started writing this a couple of years ago. But I knew that if so many of the guys I know were anxious for this, there must be a market for it around the country. So far, so good.

"After listening to your great book, I discovered I can see across into an apartment shared by two hot looking babes from my living room. Obviously, my wife doesn't realize it. The good part of this is that my wife works at a hospital and her hours vary, so there are times she has to start work very early in the morning and thus goes to bed about 9 PM. How can I be sure she doesn't find out or catch me checking out the "neighbors"?"

Good question. I have had to deal with this in recent years since I got married so I understand completely. I (obviously) don't know the layout of your home, but I'll do my best for you.

First, I'll assume you use binoculars to check out the babes. What I have done is to keep them in a brief case or underneath something in a drawer in or near the living room when not in use. You must remember to put them out of sight when you are finished each night.

What I do when the wife is asleep is to keep the TV on softly. Soft enough so I could hear if she was coming down the hall but yet enough so if she wakes up she figures you are watching TV and thinks nothing of it, even with the lights off or very dimly lit. I check on her and make sure she is sleeping. As long as I keep quiet and remember not to react when I see nudity I do fine. (Remember to keep quiet. It's like the old sports saying, "No cheering in the press box".)

The wife's sleeping schedule might get in the way of the best times to check out these babes, but you'll find that out quickly. I have experienced the aggravation of not being able to check out a babe at night until after she has already showered or changed into pajamas. Sometimes you have to hope for a break.

Here's another idea, if you are a sports fan. A couple of times I have mentioned to my wife about a big game I'd like to watch on TV on a weeknight. I suggest maybe she grab dinner with a girlfriend or something. There have been a couple of times she has done just that, and it has given me a couple hours of checking out a babe or two nearby while I have the game on the TV and can check the big plays as needed.

Also, if your schedule and view allow, you might want to check in the morning after your wife has left and before you leave for work. It might be worth getting up 15 to 30 minutes early in the morning if it proves worthy of a great view.

"Great idea about the workplace! We have a cute intern at our firm who wears a v-neck shirt on occasion. The other day I brought over a file to her desk and asked if she had any questions. She did, and thanks to your book I knew to stand over her while pointing to the paragraph I needed for her to review. She was so attentive to the paper that she didn't realize I got a great view down her top. I never would have thought of that on my own."

Aw, shucks! Your story and the many others like it are the reason I decided to write this book. Too many lost opportunities.

Eddie H. from Pennsylvania writes:

"I enjoyed listening to your book and appreciate this blog and your answers. One thing I noticed is that you comment a lot about college and high school aged babes, even though you are now middle aged. (Sorry - no offense meant.) I am also in my 40's and I like checking out women in their 30's and 40's - maybe even a bit older if they still have it in the looks department. Isn't that different?"

Good observation, Eddie. While I do mention a couple of times in the book that many of the techniques apply toward checking out women of all ages, there are some contributing factors. As women get a bit older, they reach a point where they gradually start to cover up more and dress more conservatively. Fewer women over 35 will wear a revealing blouse or low rise jeans in comparison with the younger babes. Some do, and that is great.

Of course, if you are fortunate enough to be in a situation of being able to see into one or more apartments (or condos, etc.) you will likely have a choice of the age of woman you wish to scope. Personally, I have always most wanted to check out the younger babes. It wasn't until I got to around 35 or so that I started to enjoy checking out babes in their 30's. Now, there are some that look to be in their early 40's that I like looking at.

But again, a cute and hot woman in her upper 30's is less likely to be as revealing in public and making some of the "mistakes" that the younger babes make that let us "total creep" guys get a good glance at them.

To the other extreme, guys interested in really older women could probably have a field day checking out the senior ladies at senior centers and senior care facilities, and when in a hospital or medical facility. If I had chosen to look, I could have seen a lot of really old ladies.

Most of the techniques I wrote about are not age specific. As they say, "To each his own!".

Vic B. from Texas writes:

"I didn't read anything about using binoculars from the roof of a building. With everything that you cover in the book, and it is a lot, why is the roof not included?"

Good question, Vic. I didn't want to have a list of "no-no's" in the book, and rooftops are certainly on that list. The roof of an apartment or condo building, or of a commercial building is private property. In most cases, you would be considered trespassing, let alone the consequences of being "caught" with binoculars. Whoever nabs you could think you are using binocs to case a residence or office for potential robbery. Saying that you were planning to spy on a babe doesn't exactly set you free either.

If it is your roof, such as the roof of your house or townhome, it is not trespassing, but you would run the risk of being seen by anyone from a neighbor to someone passing by on ground level to whomever you are 'watching'.

Part of this I know from experience. When I was in college, I tried this by being up on the roof of an apartment building I lived in with my binoculars. I was a few feet back from the edge, but could still see up and down the street, as well as into the apartment building across the street. After about 10 minutes, I saw a car coming down the street, and quickly realized it was a police car. I ducked down and ran toward the ladder to hurry down. I quickly whipped into the apartment I was living in. But from climbing down the ladder so quickly my hands were filthy. I heard footsteps coming up the wooden outside stairs, since that was the only way onto the roof.

I quickly and quietly closed and locked the kitchen door of the apartment (where I had just come in). I ran into the bathroom and washed my hands, and quickly dried them. Sure enough, by the time I dried them, I heard a loud knock on the back door. I slowly opened it, and it was a police officer standing there. He asked me if I had been on the roof. I said "No, but I thought I heard some noises out here, but I thought it was my neighbor throwing out the garbage or something."

The officer then said "Let me see your hands!". I showed them to him, and they were clean. He knew whoever did it would have had dirty hands. Then, the old lady neighbor across the way came to the door and said she heard the noises too. I said something like "Is he still up there? I think there is another entrance to the roof, but I'm not sure." (There was another entrance to the roof on the other side a few hundred feet away.) I told the officer I had been up there before, but I certainly wouldn't go after dark and do something crazy like that. The officer said his partner was up there looking around. I told him I would keep my eyes and ears open and call them if I heard or saw anything else. He left. And I never went back on that roof again.

I didn't put this in the book because Total Creep is about how to successfully do these things, rather than about things that went wrong. But I'm glad you asked that.

Steve V. of Oklahoma writes:

"You really are a creep. I stopped listening after the 2nd CD. I have a 22 year old daughter and I would harm somebody if she caught them watching her or looking down her top or these other things you describe."

Sorry you didn't enjoy, Mr. V. You are entitled to your opinion. But I do need to remind you of something. I am not advising guys to do these things. I am explaining ways to do them so they don't get in trouble. There is a difference. Millions of guys have been checking out millions of babes for many years. I didn't start them doing it, and you nor I are going to stop them. Plus, there must be a reason that you bought this book or someone bought it for you. Hopefully your daughter can handle her own life.

T.G. of Virginia writes:

"I am still enjoying listening to the audio book. I was telling my younger brother about it today. He is away at (name removed) College, and he told me that from a couple of nearby dorm rooms he could see into some of the girls' dorm rooms at night with binoculars. I heard the part where you comment about colleges being a challenge. What do you think? Should my brother take advantage of the opportunity?"

Good question, T. From what you told me, it doesn't sound like your brother could use his dorm room. If he would have to tell other guys in the dorm what he is doing, I would suggest that he NOT pursue it. On one hand, I'm sure some of the other guys would enjoy the chance to check out some fellow students, especially if they are hot looking. But one slip of the lips could lead to serious trouble. Especially with binoculars involved.

If even one babe finds out the word could spread quickly and your brother would then be in for a rough time because of it. Babes could also complain to campus security. There is even a chance that a guy on the floor of your brother's dorm might have different moral standards and alert someone with authority. There is a reason why I say not to pursue using binoculars on a school campus.

On the other hand, if your brother were in off-campus housing or had a position to see into a girls' dorm from outside of campus property, with the right precautions it could work. But, as I point out in the book, it is very very rare to have an opportunity to see into girls dorms.

Dan from Minneapolis asks:

"As much as I love your advice, do I have to wait until spring? My windows get icy, and almost all of the windows I try to see into are covered with snow and ice and/or have curtains and blinds tight shut in this cold weather."

It's true that cold weather presents a challenge for home viewing. I have spent a few winters up north during snow and icy sub-freezing weather. There really isn't anything you can do if you can't see in to the apartments or units you desire, other than wait for a burst of warmer temperatures and hoping for a slip-up by one of the babes that she will forget to close the curtains or blinds.

A few times I put on a heavy sweater and actually cracked my window open a bit so that I could see out through my binoculars and into one or more places where a babe was. If your schedule and your angle allow, check early mornings before daylight gets too bright to see if curtains come open to let some light in. When the weather is that cold, the babes don't expect anyone to be near their own windows for any length of time to be looking in.

Cold weather days also hurt at work or school, since the babes wear more clothes and they are usually less revealing. Not much you can do, other than wait until the weather gets warmer.

Ken Collier not only did a great job narrating, or as I should say, interpreting my work into the audio book of “Total Creep – A Guy’s Guide”, but he has come up with another great idea. I certainly never thought of myself in the same breath as Ann Landers, but Ken’s idea of my responding to readers and listeners about their personal experiences is a great one.
Don’t worry. If anyone understands, it is me who understands that an identity cannot be revealed. So at the most, I would use a first name (if common enough) and a state for identification. I already have a few to start this off:

Ron from Oregon writes:
“Dear I.C. – I loved hearing about your experience with seeing your girlfriend’s sister under her robe. But how could you be looking there that often without fear of being caught? My sister-in-law has a better body than my wife and I’ve been over when she has loose fitting pajamas on. I hadn’t want to risk it, but now I see where you are coming from on this.”

Dear Ron – Good question! It is like the book and audio says. There are 2 key elements. The first is to maintain a straight face. The second is to watch for opportunities and then be ready. You should also already know that she is not wearing a bra underneath. (If she is, it is not worth the risk to see a bra shot.) For example, maybe you notice her bending over by the sink to put dishes away. If you were nearby when she did, you could see down her pajama top. In that example, try to time it so that you are “helping” by bringing a couple of dishes over to her just as she would be bending over. Be coming around toward her, maybe saying something like, “Oh, here’s more” as if you are not trying to startle her. Like you are being helpful. If luck is truly on your side, you could keep bringing as she keeps bending over to load the dishwasher or cabinet and get multiple glances.

Of course, you might wind up having to then do this at home for your wife. But if doing so leads to some nice glances at her sister’s chest, it could be worth the trade off. If not in the kitchen, again, the point is to look for opportunities and then know when to pounce.

“Dear I. C. – I lost a good chance this morning. I was walking through the lobby of the office building I work in when a young babe walking a few feet ahead of me dropped something out of her wallet. She squatted down to pick them up, but she was facing toward me and I wasn’t close enough to see anything down her top. Then when I turned back and saw her walking away, her top was short and I probably could have seen down from behind. What could I have done differently? Jeff from Ohio”

Dear Jeff – Glad you read or heard the book, so you are aware of these opportunities. It’s tough to be specific based on what you have given me. But it sounds like you could have capitalized. That is a judgment call. It looks like you had a couple seconds to make a decision. If she was ahead of you when she dropped the items, you could/should have already known her blouse or shirt was short. Once you saw which way she was squatting down, you could have continued walking at the same pace behind her. Her focus would be on her dropped items and not by people in an office building lobby. Then you do the glance over as if you are curious about what dropped, if something broke, etc. Keep a straight face, or get that “wow, the babe couldn’t even hold her mirror!” look. Either would hide a “I’m seeing butt crack!” look, and you should be fine. But sometimes you don’t have that option to go behind. In that case, try to walk close enough to see down a top but only if you can do so without a drastic change in course. Again, depending upon the specifics of the situation, you could also go right over and offer to help, standing above her while you can hopefully see down her top. But, Jeff, I’m betting that you won’t miss the next opportunity that comes your way!
