Boobs in your face!

[YehaaYessir]

So I've been to a couple of wedding receptions recently and a formal event for DH's work.
Is it just me getting older or does anyone else notice the amount of women/ girls at these kind of events whose boobs are almost out?

I'm no prude but really? When did this become so widely appropriate? I'm not talking a bit of cleavage here, I'm talking everything on show, the whole lot out to a millimetre or two from the nipples.

I just wonder why so many girls these days feel the need to do this? Are they insecure about the rest of themselves? Or is it an empowerment thing- that they will know what every male who sees them that night will be thinking?

I for one would prefer not to be confronted by pairs of bare boobs in my face on a night out?
Has anyone else noticed this?

Spot on! ❤️

OP, women have boobs. They have a choice to show as little (or none) or as much as they choose. Get over it.

If you look at OP’s past history of starting threads…. It is clear that this is all about not trusting her husband.

Insult as much as you want; I'm never going to think that prancing about with your boobs on display in front of families and couples is appropriate or tasteful.

Then don’t do it! Simple. Some people are proud of their breasts, in a world of a body shaming that’s a good thing.

l don’t think ripped jeans or dresses worn with trousers or short skirts are a good look, so l don’t wear them.

Why should anybody care what you “mind”?

So, the couple thing really baffles me. Why do you expect women to modify their outfit when a couple is present? What about same sex couples? How do you cope at a beach or a pool?
What do you think your husband will do if he sees a pair of boobs? Instantly dump you? Sexually harass the woman in question? Self combust?

I’ve been to burlesque nights with my husband, we’ve had nights out in Amsterdam’s red light district and in Bangkok where there are semi naked women everywhere. He managed to survive!

Seriously, give over with the fake pearl-clutching. Everyone knows that there are settings where extremely revealing tops are not appropriate. This is a non-controversial view in the real world. I only display mine when I'm on a date night or other with my partner as I don't want to be inappropriate in front of families and couples. I would never go to a couples' dinner party with my boobs on full display, for example. I dress tastefully with regard to my "audience" and with an eye towards good manners...but you do you, I guess.

If your partner can't stop looking at my tits that's your issue not mine.

Oh you think everyone else is pearl clutching? That's hilarious.

Eh? Low cut evening dresses were literally everywhere in the 70s!

Seriously, give over with the fake pearl-clutching.
You need to look up the definition of pearl clutching.

People have agreed with you on this point.

That is your choice. My question is around why you feel you need to protect other couples? They're adults at the end of the day.

There are 2 things being conflated. Most of us will agree there are times when too much exposure of boobs, or any other time of inappropriate dressing, is not cool. Probably best not at Auntie Mabel’s funeral.

But what people are saying as that is not the same as say a dinner party where a woman wears a top that shows her tits. If a man is tempted or has an issue with that that’s his problem. The issue people have is that women are being blamed by other women for men’s behaviour. That is sexist and offensive.

You genuinely can’t grasp that there are many many women out there who do no share your nasty view on this issue can you @CrystalShoe ?

Do you have daughters @YehaaYessir and @CrystalShoe ?

I have never ever seen anyone 'prancing about' with their boobs on display in front of families and couples.

Your language is so gendered and insulting that I'm trying to imagine how you would come across in real life, in your workplace for example. It doesn't sound as though you would be capable of keeping your problematic opinions to yourself.

Me neither

Where have you witnessed this horror @CrystalShoe ?

Not to mention 'flaunting' which is not a word I thought anyone used outside of the sidebar of shame.

Been there ten years next year. Sorry.

The full-on character assassination for suggesting that some people dress in an overly saucy manner and it makes them look bad are just 😂😂😂. Must be because I'm right!

“Overly saucy” ? 🤣🤣🤣

You just don’t get what people are saying do you?

The language you use to describe women is nothing short of sexist and misogynistic. You’re allowed an opinion but you need to be willing to have that challenged rather than present it as fact.
And if you use sexist and misogynistic language then of course you’ll be challenged!

@CrystalShoeyou haven’t come up with one valid reason why it makes them look bad.

overly saucy… I think you have watched too many Carry On films.

It’s like she’s in a carry on film 🙄

@Autumngirl5 "It is not very classy and to me it strikes of desperation."

Well, I think so. Showing a large amount of boobage can easily look really cheap and tarty if you're not careful. And I love all the "It's for meee!" responses. How convenient that you just happen to be showcasing something that men love! 😂😂😂 I suppose the extra male attention is purely accidental! I believe you. Thousands wouldn't. 😂

Why don't you just own up to the fact that you want men to notice you, any man, no matter if they're married with kids, and that you don't care how unsisterly it is?

I'd respect that honesty. The outrage at such behaviour called out is funny! I am a 40D myself, and I know what other women are doing when they walk around undulating for male attention! 🤭And personally I don't like to take fashion tips from the Carry On films, but you do you! Bunch of saucy old sexpots. 😂😂

This might shock you … but some women love boobs too!

Not all women centre men in their decision making. Hard to believe I know, but many of us would be happy to never have male attention again. I really don’t want to steal your husband or your boyfriend but I’m not changing how I dress because they might be in the same room as me at point. If they can’t control themselves then that’s not my problem. Or anyone else’s

I know you don't get it, but everyone else isn't as desperate for male attention or validation as you. You think other women are dressing, existing, just for a sniff of male attention and so you frame everything as part of the narrative. No-one else is giving men the headspace you are though.
