Two (or more, or not so many) men look at a bunch of women and discuss them. Or vice versa. An old, old trope, but given that guys do this every day, likely to continue till mankind goes extinct. Not that women are above it all, though. Supertrope of Outdoor Bath Peeping and The Peeping Tom. The common subversion is to make it look like guys are girlwatching, only to reveal that the "exquisite curves" they were talking about referred to something non-sexual, like a pizza, a car, or a rare Brancusi arm chair. |

In a Chappelle's Show sketch (making fun of the movie What Women Want) about a woman who hears men's thoughts, she enters an elevator full of men. Hilarity Ensues. It's actually pretty hilarious, though. At one point, even a little boy is heard thinking about how hard he would hit that. | |

In Asteroid in Love, Moe's confessed hobby is "collecting the girls' info," which boils down to this trope. As shown in Suzu's Research and even in the main series, she enjoys seeing the girls' Charm Points, as well as being curious how they act in different situations (especially Mira and Ao). | |

A version (and subversion) of this appears in Double Homework. Dennis shows the protagonist nudes of their classmates... and even one of Ms. Walsh. The protagonist can tell that some of them are fake. Also, he talks to Dennis to find out if he has any pictures of Johanna and Tamara, not to discuss girls with Dennis. | |

Seeing as how it takes place in the offices of a fashion magazine, the male characters of Just Shoot Me! indulged in this pastime often, much to the dismay of Maya. In one episode Jack catches the guys looking at a blonde woman bent over and joins in. To his horror it turns out to be Maya (his daughter), who had dyed her hair. | |

In Castle Town Dandelion, the activities king's 9 children were being constantly tracked by surveillance cameras and aired on TV so as to prepare for the upcoming royal election. However, it seemed quite a bit of the commoners used the chance to girl-watch the several teenage princesses on imageboard-like fansites. | |

Once the telescope was installed in Frasier's apartment, everyone got to use this gag. One notable variation was when Frasier and Niles tell Martin to calm down, 'cause they're admiring a foreign range/stovetop, not a naked woman. Martin says that he knows, and that's the disappointing thing. | |
