obspervant

(adj.) The uncanny ability to observe your surroundings with a totally innocent yet undeniably pervy undertone. Whether it’s clocking every gym bro flexing in a tank top, side-eyeing that audaciously short skirt, or mentally cataloging every exposed tattoo in sight, you just have an eye for noticing sexiness wherever you go

Often accompanied by a running internal monologue:
“Is that even legal to wear in public?!”
“OMG, is it me, or is everyone else this obspervant?”
“I wasn’t creeping, I’m just naturally #Obspervant.”

Warning: High levels of #Obspervant behavior may lead to embarrassing slip-ups like audibly gasping at someone’s daring outfit. Proceed with caution and sunglasses.
