ogles
Stares with desire
Ogles is the verb ogle in its third-person singular form—to stare at someone with obvious desire or interest, especially sexual interest: He ogles every woman who walks past.
The gaze is typically unwelcome and perceived as leering or intrusive.
Less commonly, ogles can be a noun for such looks: She ignored his ogles from across the bar.
