I have generally been flattered by such "looking over".  Occasionally, 
it is done in a way that makes me uncomfortable.  Such as by rude people
on the street.  It's definitely a question of attitude.  Sometimes
someone is appreciative and interested, but sometimes the "looking over"
is used to assert some sort of dominance.  I have  gotten a clear
impression, a couple of times (like walking home at night through Central
Square ) that the sole purpose of the gesture was to intimidate me and
assert the dominance of the male doing the looking.  This I don't like.
