Men are a temptation for women, and women are a temptation for men. Allah has commanded both genders to lower their gaze. However, a man's temptation by a woman is stronger than her temptation by him, because women's inclination towards men is naturally weaker. If a man is very handsome, he must fear Allah and adhere to the limits and controls of Islamic law in dealing with women. He is not required to veil himself like a woman.
