Bra-less at my BBQ?

551 replies

BioSuisse · 21/09/2014 09:59

Last night DH and i hosted a BBQ for newish friends whom we had never hosted before. DH invited a female colleague whom i had never met before. She turned up with her boyfriend but not her bra. She was wearing a thickish cotton white top. You could see the outline of her boobs and nipples if you looked.

After the party i mentioned it to DH. He claimed to not have noticed.

MN jury?

Somebody coined the phrase 'sociable nipples' on here a while back - I totally identify with that phrase Grin

Yy there is a cultural element to how much people notice normal anatomy.

Crotchless drying with a hair dryer is a thing. I've never regarded it as a come on. Just hugely weirdly freaky

Lordnoobson · 21/09/2014 10:50

Not crotchless. Crotch

You can see mine through a t-shirt bra, vest and woolly jumper. What am I supposed to do? Get them nipple burkas?

I can't amputate them just for the sake of chic.

Get a better bra / quality clothes

CharlieSierra · 21/09/2014 10:52

Personally i would not wear a white tshirt and no bra to a bbq at my boss's house if i knew that everyone could see my pendulous breasts

I agree - Yanbu OP. Also what a lot of nasty sniping responses, really unnecessary and disingenuous to claim not to see the point.

Lordnoobson · 21/09/2014 10:53

Christ tondelayo. How erect are they?!!!Shock

Lordnoobson · 21/09/2014 10:54

DISINGENUOUS KLAXON SOUNDED. Grin

SauvignonBlanche · 21/09/2014 10:55

I don't think you need to amputate them motherinferior but just make sure your boss' wife doesn't see them, that would be inappropriate.

Reported obvs

If Rigby and Peller's finest can't reprove my nipples, they are clearly destined to reign unassailed. And I do not, in any case, give a toss. Life is short. Breasts are rather nice to look at. I have better things to do with my life than spend it on nork-alert; and so, it appears, does this buxom Muscovite.

JanineStHubbins · 21/09/2014 10:57

You sound very angry OP, is there anything else going on?

PacificDogwood · 21/09/2014 10:58

Oh my, it's turned rather nasty Shock

LittleBearPad · 21/09/2014 10:59

OP, writing end of thread doesn't stop the thread. This one will run all day.

Lordnoobson · 21/09/2014 10:59

The upshot is any event organised through work (eg Xmas party) is in fact work.

It's not good to dress like that at work

peasandlove · 21/09/2014 10:59

It is weird. Asking in Aibu will always get you this response tho.

Lordnoobson · 21/09/2014 11:00

Op. I don't think you're wrong at all

I am comfortable with my sexuality too. (What an odd thing to suggest / you're gay because you noticed clothes?!)

BioSuisse · 21/09/2014 11:01

Nothing i would want to share on her thanks Janine

OP posts:
Lordnoobson · 21/09/2014 11:02

Lol. Not on her!! No no no Grin

BioSuisse · 21/09/2014 11:03

End of thread or not i am off. I am not gay. My DH is not a liar. I have a life, thank you.

I think you're being ridiculous - and jealously territorial.

I also think your husband did notice but said the only sane thing that a man can when faced with the grossly intrusive and loaded - "Did you notice???".

Women can't help the size of their boobs and whether they wear a bra or no business of yours or anybody else's.

As far as the 'if she had her nipples in my partner's eyes' - again, not under your control but if she's making no overt moves and neither is he then get your possessiveness under control for goodness sakes.

Sisterhood is well and truly dead, isn't it? Shock
