Science says that women have a larger range of peripheral vision than men. A woman, I once read, can look at a man in the eyes while taking in his hair, lips, shoulders and the shape and definition of his chest. A man, on the other hand, with his more focused range of vision, has to look from the eyes to the lips to the chest to the everything else, point by point.

If you’re female, I know you know this and have experienced it often enough.
