to get annoyed about male attention??

I wore a tight top under a cardi yesterday, and was really riled by men looking at my breasts rather than my face.

I know we all clock the overall picture but I still wanted to smack 'em.

Buy a looser top?

mumblechum1 · 21/04/2012 13:03

Wear a burkha?

FrankWippery · 21/04/2012 13:08

Go and do your homework?

Scowlett · 21/04/2012 13:30

Frank, my homework is long finished :)

It's a nice top, my friend gave it to me and I love wearing it. It's textured linen and not a sexy beast top, just fits very well. I guess I have a natural fibre fetish so am usually in cashmere jumpers and didn't anticipate any attentio by wearing it. So what, I have two fleshy lumps above my ribcage like fifty percent of the population??

It's very strange though when the attention is all on your top and not your face. I DID want to smack them. Not sure of the protocol when it happens.

all those "pervy bosses" again, is it ?
perhaps you should tell your "mentor"

Scowlett · 21/04/2012 13:38

youagain, I was talking about how disconcerting it was to have attention on your chest and not your face. Anything else I have said does not devalue the point.

Just wear a looser top, or do your cardi up. Then you won't have the problem. Which men are you talking about anyway?

rogersmellyonthetelly · 21/04/2012 13:43

I have (unfortunately) huge norks and find I do get this a lot, as pretty much everything I wear is bit strained accross the bust. Mostly I dont give a shite but if Im hav

FreudianSlipper · 21/04/2012 13:45

cover up

i have a nice full bust and it gets a lot of attention, when it is really bugging me i cover up as much as possible and it still attracts attention jsut not as much

and the attention is not jsut from men it is sometimes from women too (gay and straight) there is something attractive about breasts

Bloody phone! Having a conversation with someone and they are looking at my chest it really annoys me. I have a selection of cutting remarks for such occasions.

HotPinkWeaselWearingLederhosen · 21/04/2012 13:47

I go to to Tescos naked, much easier as then people don't know where to look

FreudianSlipper · 21/04/2012 13:47

and when the talking to the bust annoys me i jsut think how pathetic, but sometimes it is usuful even for a feminist like myself :o

Scowlett · 21/04/2012 13:48

Oh it's not really a tight top, just tighter than I would normally wear. I guess since I'm quite small I'm not used to men talking to my chest rather than my face, but note noted. I did draw my rather looser cardigan around me when I noticed it.

Sparkling, just the men at work.

But it's weird though, isn't it?? I don't know how wimmen with really impressive chests cope with the attention

Did they include your married mentor whom you fantasise about?

Oh ok, I wondered whether you were out at the pub or something.

Scowlett · 21/04/2012 13:58

IAMSherlocked, not quite sure why I got so much shit about that. I SAID I was shit but didn't act on it. It's over. And hardly anyone picked up on the major death? God knows what people's priorities are but if I spoke to someone I would pick up on that instantly and try to understand how that had effected them. So if you have a criticism make it in more direct terms and not an insidious bitching.

Anyway...I really like Coco, she seems so genuine, but couldn't cope with her chest fair play to her

OP posts:
Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2012 14:05

I have no idea who Coco is but she needs to put it all away as well as sort out the camel toe.

thebody · 21/04/2012 14:21

It's when they stop looking you will moan more. Get a grip.

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2012 14:23

I might put on an unfeasibly tight top this afternoon and see what happens when i go out.

WorriedBetty · 21/04/2012 14:25

I know, it crazy, DH pulled the top of his jeans down and showed the top of his penis and so many people stared. What perverts!

fluffiphlox · 21/04/2012 14:27

Must be very difficult what with this and your creepy boss. Are you Samantha Brick?

Scowlett · 21/04/2012 14:27

Yes, thebody, I thought that. Although it's not nice to have your chest paid undue attention, or at least when you want them to talk to your face.

Yay sparkling, go forth and report back!! Make sure shoulders are back and breasticles prominent.

I don't know if I could actually Scowlett. Blush DH would be all Hmm and there's no way the DSs would be seen with me. Grin
