You – Part I

Men are visual by nature,
I think women are, too,
But, for a different reasons,
Men protect their space,
And, their surroundings,
Anyone in their care; by nature,
Are protected, too,
Women come into view,
Within that space,
Are reviewed,
No threat; and yet,
Potential mate?
Too old; too young? –
Protection mode again,
Visualize,
Analyze,
Protect!
