She was wearing a crochet top with no bra underneath

Just curious as to what other people would make of this? I was in Jamaica recently, and one night at the bar (in a family hotel), a woman of about 35/40 years old, was wearing a crochet top, with quite large holes in it, with no bra underneath. Breasts and nipples clearly on show. At some points she as chatting with groups of local men, at another point she plonked herself down at the table with me, my DH and some other people. No idea who she was actually with. Is it me, or is this really inappropriate?

@Feeling
I would make a judgment based on clothing ,appearance, behaviour, age and whether she was alone or with company. And people make judgements and assumptions every day about strangers. And actually you assume I’m judging her as she’s a woman . If the op had described a man in indentical clothing behaving in exactly the same way I would assume he was a sex worker too !

Your bought tits are not comparable to the real thing, and it's that which irks you. Let it go.

I saw a young woman (18ish??) at a busy train station in London around 5pm the other day. She wore some white lingerie lace kind of top with jeans. I could see her areolas and nipples. It was freezing. I remember it cause it was unusual. I also was kind of jealous that she's so unapologetic about her breasts she just shows them off while I still fiddle around awkwardly when trying to breastfeed my baby in public. I wish there were more women showing nipples in public, but it's probably not gonna be me anytime soon.

FeigningHorror · 01/01/2020 01:23

Yes, I’d be so outraged I would post on a chat forum about it after I got home, complete with detailed description of nipples and crochet, not to mention my own boob job.

Taraohara · 01/01/2020 01:24

@Sarcelle you don’t know what the Ops tits are like and if someone has had a boob job so what ? Just sneering because it appears op boob job for cosmetic reasons . What if she said it was reconstruction after mastectomy? For all those piling onto the Op I think it’s as much about the location and setting the woman with her tits out was, rather than just her clothing. I’m guessing as the Op has had a boob job , was on hols in Jamaica and has referenced hedonism she’s not going to be easily shocked at mere sight of boobs . It’s the context

BingoLittlesUncle · 01/01/2020 01:55

Take my tip OP don't go to Key West.

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 01/01/2020 03:37

Most vital question is surely whether she had she crocheted it herself, or whether it was high street fashion. OP, any thoughts?

StarlightLady · 01/01/2020 05:24

There are a number of comments on here saying women’s breasts are different to the chest of men. But why should they be treated differently?

So, someone’s breasts could be seen. And the problem was?

So you encountered a tipsy trollop while on holiday.

You want to know if her attire and demeanour were wildly inappropriate. Did anyone you know say they were?

PhoneLock · 01/01/2020 05:39

You’re boobs may be bigger, but hers may of been perkier!

That's what I thought too.

Betterbegoing · 01/01/2020 05:46

Oh, who the fuck cares? Really?

LesLavandes · 01/01/2020 05:55

Inappropriate in a bar

Openlopeb · 01/01/2020 10:59

Bigger boobs doesn’t mean better OP 😂 the bigger they are, the saggier they are.

Also not to hate on people who have cosmetic surgery (I would do it if I could afford it) but most men prefer smaller and natural to big and fake. So maybe that’s why you’re touchy

Caramel78 · 01/01/2020 11:17

My DP prefers small perky ones and said he would much rather a woman had natural B cups than fake E cups if he had to choose. I’m sure he secretly likes all boobs of all shapes and sizes though haha.
I have known some men in the past who only like women with very large ones so I suppose it’s swings and roundabouts

Fruitdryingpsychopath · 01/01/2020 11:23

There's always one of these people (sometimes male, sometimes female) at AI places - doesn't appear to be with a particular person or family, very friendly with the people who work there, seems to know everyone, very conspicuous. I've never seen one with her bare breasts on show though!

Branleuse · 01/01/2020 11:29

I would have done this as an (older)teenager when I was trying to be shocking, although id be surprised to see a proper adult wearing something like that and randomly sitting with people she didnt know. Id probably think she was on the hustle tbh

gamerwidow · 01/01/2020 12:02

Was it something like this? If so yes it’s revealing and you can see nips but wouldn’t cause wide spread offence really.

AnyFucker · 01/01/2020 12:31

I think there is only one person obsessed with knockers here

Handsnotwands · 01/01/2020 12:39

I’ve been to Jamaica and some partially exposed boobs would have come in at about number 5773290 on my list of shocking things i saw there. 1/10 - would not recommend

And the closest any of the locals got to any pool, beach or bar I saw was when they were being chased off by men with big sticks

Branleuse · 01/01/2020 13:01

Me, I am

AnyFucker · 01/01/2020 16:09

Have you studied them in depth, Bran Smile

lljkk · 01/01/2020 16:47

I bet every heterosexual bloke in that bar found those bare nipples quite interesting.

legoed · 01/01/2020 16:50

@Morgan12
Well considering it’s your body, not theirs, I don’t think it’s a case of whether they should have allowed you to be equal to your brother and go topless.

BorissGiantJohnson · 01/01/2020 17:20

Someone on holiday showed some tit. In a resort where everyone was drinking and there were lots of men. And you can't think why? Really? Reeeeaally?! Go on op, you can do this, I believe in you, think!!
