relative clauses
Hi,
If you are a guy who doesn't glare at a girl for hours who walks in the street, you are a different guy.
I couldn't figure out where to put 'for hours' in that sentence. (P.S I want to say that the guy glares at a girl).
If you are a guy who doesn't glare at a girl who walks in the street for hours, you are a different guy.
If we construct the sentence as above, we will have infered that the girl walks for hours.
I couldn't find because there are 2 relative clauses. I have been confused.
Please help.

Both are unnatural.

Thanks...That is what I want to utter. But I want to put 'for hours' in that sentence. And I don't know where to put.
