The male gaze definitions

Majorie Ferguson

Chocolate box -  half or full-smile, lips together or slightly parted, teeth barely visible, full or three-quarter face to camera. Projected mood: blandly pleasing, warm bath warmth, where uniformity of features in their smooth perfection is devoid of uniqueness or of individuality.

Invitational -  emphasis on the eyes, mouth shut or with only a hint of a smile, head to one side or looking back to camera. Projected mood: suggestive of mischief or mystery, the hint of contact potential rather than sexual promise, the cover equivalent of advertising’s soft sell.

Super Smiler - full face, wide open toothy smile, head thrust forward or chin thrown back, hair often wind-blown.Projected mood: aggressive, ‘look-at-me’ demanding, the hard sell, ‘big come-on’ approach.

Romantic or Sexual - a fourth and more general classification devised to include male and female ‘two-somes’; or the dreamy, heavy-lidded, unsmiling big-heads, or the overtly sensual or sexual. Projected moods: possible ‘available’ and definitely ‘available’.

Trevor Millum

Seductive - similar to the cool/level look in many respects - the eyes are less wide, perhaps shaded, the expression is less reserved but still self-sufficient and confident; milder versions may include a slight smile.

Carefree - nymph-like, active, healthy, gay, vibrant, outdoor girl; long unrestrained outward-flowing hair, more outward-going than the above, often smiling or grinning.

Practical - concentrating, engaged on the business in hand, mouth closed, eyes object-directed, sometimes a slight frown; hair often short or tied back.

Comic - deliberately ridiculous, exaggerated, acting the fool, pulling faces for the benefit of a real or imaginary audience, sometimes close to a sort of archness.

Catalogue - a neutral look as of a dummy, artificial, wax like; features may be in any position, but most likely to be with eyes open wide and a smile, but the look remains vacant and empty; personality has been removed

Selected Video Clip:

forward the video till 1:35 and play till 2:05

The video i have chosen to post is a select scene in the music video 'Amazing' by the signer Inna. 

the video involves the male gaze as it shows males staring at a female singer as she is taking a shower outside on the beach in a bikini.
this select scene shows a seductive approach to the woman as she is showing off her body in public and the woman is both confident and self-sufficient.
