when men (or someone else) look for something but can not find it because they do not look properly. Often whatever they are looking for is right in front of them.

The search for a missing item, typically undertaken by a man, that often results in that object not being found. It is specifically defined (in my opinion) by looking for something WITHOUT having to move anything.

The act of looking for an item and failing to locate it when it is in plain sight, or when its location has been carefully described to the searcher. Behavior is usually exhibited by males, though females may occasionally Man Look. Man Looking may also be referred to as temporary male blindness.

the quick glancing a male does when looking for something that his significant other sent him to look for with specific directions on how and where to find it.
Wife says to husband. John, please get me my green coffee mug in the second cupboard to the left of the sink on the the second shelf all the way in the back right hand corner. Man says to wife from kitchen. Honey I can't find it. Wife answers husband. Did you "look" for it or did you just man-look!?
