Cleavage yeah or neah

Orla K

I was recently talking to someone who doesn't like it when cleavage is showing exp when the woman has bigger boobs. She was in a top that showed less then an inch and she was paranoid she was showing too much (she also thinks she has huge boobs she's a c, there not tiny but not huge as she thinks). In contrast I would happily wear a see through/almost see through top and as long as my bra is covering the important bits I don't mind how much cleavage is on display (I would be an f cup and have more to show)


I'm really just wondering what other people find exceptable. It might have been an age difference with me and the person.

Do you find too much to be slutty or too little/none to be prudish. A happy medium?

I always went with the thing that if I showed cleavage I'd cover my legs and visa versa (but I have a weird thing about knees so they don't see light often)

Cleavage all the way. I look like a frump in high-necked clothes. Every top I own is low-cut.

As for what's acceptable, I do cover up a bit more for work, wearing little camisoles under my normal tops so I'm not falling out of the. But the boobs are there, regardless of whether you cover them or not, everyone can see how big they are, what's the point in trying to hide them?

I think boobs actually look a bit bigger when there fully covered. Maybe that's just me.

Cleavage = HOORAY !!

Boobs look bigger when covered up so i try and show a bit to make myself look less of a frumpy granny...

That's what I mean! They're big enough as it is

Definitely cleavage! And try convince my gf, she won't show even a tiny bit, except when she's in a rare sexy mood. 2 times in the 3.5 years! She won't even show her arms. and she's got nice C's and a great body, certainly no bingo wings.

I think when you carry yourself well and show a little skin (not full blown niple tassles) it comes across as confidence, which is very sexy.

Cleavage for nights out but if im in the office or walking around during the day I put the girls away!
Not with a turtle neck or anything but with a top that stops just above them.

If there is more boob on show than is covered.
Or if people are getting grabby or making comments.
It is too much.

Cleavage=purty.

No to cleavage for me, but then again I am a rather big 34Fin that department. And I am very pregnant.

I like showing cleavage sometimes. I think showing a little bit of cleavage can be very sexy. When they're bursting out, it's probably a bit too much. I would wear a long skirt or pants if I did go the cleavage route.

That said I also like high neck tops. I'm rather slender and have a long neck, so I'm well suited for them. And the right fitting high neck top can look very sexy! Not showing any cleavage doesn't necessarily equal prudish.

Morgase

I almost never show cleavage.

I don't really have any so it would look a bit strange! But more importantly I just hate having a bare neck or decolletage (sp?); if I feel a bit of a breeze there I start imagining a sore throat coming on

I own almost no low cut stuff, and woolly scarves are a permanent fixture from October to April

I agree with this. If both legs and cleavage are on display I think it's a bit much, although it depends on the situation.

Even if I'm wrapped in a large coat I can still get comments but I think I just attract the wrong kind of person:(. The last one (which I'm still trying to get away from me) wouldn't stop putting his arm around me and I was in a situation where I had to be nice and to make it worse he's much older than me and I don't think anyone else has copped on . It doesn't matter what I do/look like I always attract guys like this.

I know and showing it doesn't necessarily make someone slutty. I was throwing out generalisations.

I definitely agree with the fact that covering big boobs entirely makes them look like a shelf. I unfortunately don't have that problem, being a modest 32B. I have enough to make cleavage but little enough to go without a bra if I feel the urge, which I rarely do.

I think that there is nothing wrong with showing a little cleavage in daily life and can be much more flattering than covering them if you have the goods to show.

Cleavage FTW!

Mental Mickey

Depends on the person, imo. Sometimes it looks good, sometimes it doesn't.

taram

I've got quite a big chest and I love my boobs So usually have v-necks, makes my whole body shape look better and shows off an asset If I wear a turtle neck I look like I'm wearing a tube with two torepedos sticking out so that's another reason I'd go for having clevage on show.

But v.v.v. important thing girls don't always remember: wear a proper fitting bra!!! Hate cleavage that's all bulging out, or cut into from their bra, not an attractive look.

thebigcheese22

As a guy, I'm gonna go against the grain and say that I don't find a lot of cleavage attractive.

Sure if you have nice boobs then you should take advantage of that but IMO the best thing about women is the imagination and the act of undressing. There is no element of surprise if everything is showing like. A bit of restraint on a girl is a good trait I have found

I do like cleavage, it is a turn on and can look tasteful. But it is also a distraction really. I like to look at a girls face when I am talking to her, but if her boobs are on show it can be difficult not to look.

I mean, I can do it, but it's difficult!!!

Good point. They do it cos they want to distract us.

My hubby sees them, that is it...

Yes, probably true, but those of us with higher fortitude will be able to do it on the sly.

Those of us with the lowest will be outright Blatant.

Both win in the situation I think! The Guys who lose are the ones who try to take a sneaky glance too often and get caught!

That's my OH's thinking too, but I like her to show off a little. I like people drooling and then i'm all like "yeah, she's mine."

Might not be the healthiest way of thinking but there ya have it.

Heh, sometimes :P

But in a work situation, I'd never do that intentionally. I'd be trying to make sure they weren't on show because I wouldn't want to be seen as being inappropriate.

Not even just a little bit?

CathyMoran

I find it very disturbing when men talk to your chest, not to you...a long time ago I was supervising exams and this girl had a very low cut top, am suprised if any of the men passed the exam, they were all looking at her assets.

Also, I hate when the husband wears tight trousers (he thankfully does not any more but he still has his old Speedos)...it is mine thank you!

Which was obviously her intention. She wanted them to look at her chest.

Cupcake_Crisis

As the owner of a rather large set of knockers i say HOORAY FOR BOOBIES!! The only downside is that a lot of tops can look quite tacky with big boobs. I often find that even in tank tops they can look quite .......provocative! But a little bit of cleavage is definatley a good thing!

CathyMoran

Halternecks are great...

Actually, kinda depends on the situation. If I was out doing an interview or scoping out a story, definitely no cleavage. Need to be taken seriously in those situations. At our conference where we're expected to network and socialise, I'd dress up a bit more and show a bit more cleavage.

Mental Mickey

I prefer a woman to wear a shirt/blouse unbuttoned to show off a little cleavage.

waffleman

Cleavage? Yeah AND


(Neah!!)

Ya know, I'm not sure I even own anything horribly low cut o.O I've never thought about that before

Madame Razz

I'm not exactly tiny but not huge either; I generally don't go in for the whole cleavage thing; anytime I do do it I find the reaction from men quite irritating; makes me feel super uncomfortable; and I'd rather that somebody spoke to my face than my chest.

Just seems to attract letches and pervs tbh!

This is what I was saying above, it is VERY difficult to not looks at big cleavage, possible yes, but still very difficult, and if we do take a sidelong glance, whether on purpose or accidentally, we are branded letchy and pervy, when in fact we could have just being fulfilling the biological imperative, to be attracted to a female.

Of course putting it like that is kinda pervy maybe, but still, no less true I think.

That was always my feeling. It'd be nice to have something nice looking to wear out, but I hate being looked at

Mental Mickey

I thought that's exactly why women dressed up?? To attract men. And lets be honest here, the first thing that attracts most men is the ladies appearance.

Fulfilling biological imperative or not I still don't feel comfortable when men do it; ergo I don't indulge in the cleavage exposure thing, it makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable and self conscious; and not in a good way. And often the comments that come with such letchery can be choice:rolleyes:

Not for me thank you

I don't find that at all. Yeah, guys look, but they're out there to be looked at. Letching and perving I only encounter in nightclubs, and they'd be the type of lads who'd leer over you in a binbag, tbh.

I think it's all about how you take it. Men and women have literally stopped mid convo with me and said "sorry, but I just have to say, you have epic boobs" or whatever - I could take offence, but I choose not to. I happen to agree with them anyhow :P:pac::D


I realise this makes me sound utterly big-headed, but they're my favourite feature!

I can look perfectly attractive and perfectly attract men without getting my tits out for the lads tbh.

Displaying Cleavage is not a prerequisite for men finding a woman attractive; long legs, nice eyes, great smile, narrow waist, tight arse plus a myriad of other features can attract a man to a woman also.

Do you find too much to be slutty or too little/none to be prudish.

All I did was answer the question you asked! I didn't mean it defensively at all, and my post certainly didn't imply that showing cleavage made someone slutty.

I didn't mean that in an attacking defensive way, I just wasn't sure if you fully understood or if you were getting annoied.

Oh, I fully understood. I wasn't annoyed at all when I initially answered the question. Now, I'm a little annoyed.

A hint of it - and well supported - looks fabulous. Drooping and jiggling all over the shop and on the verge of popping out - not so much.

As for a guy copping an auld glance at my breasts, nothing wrong with it or anything to get offended by (as long as he's not being a sleazebag) - most hetero guys like tits, simple as.

I don't show cleavage because I er...don't really have any. Little b cup. Boohoo. Legs all the way!

I agree, its very off putting. I know some people can get a bit distracted as I got a tattoo across my chest and would stare at that but if someone is talking to my boobs instead of to my face I get really uncomfortable....

But I love cleavage, I wouldnt want to show my bra or anything but I I love wearing low cut tops/dresses.

Tefral

Cleavage is good!

Id agree with the comment that covering them completely if you have a big pair does make them look bigger and also depending on the top can make a girl look fat when she's not.

Conversely girls who are well. Large/fat who think leaving fat boobs hang out all over the place is just wrong, that isnt nice at all.

I read something interesting the other day, women who show a lot of cleaveage in work tend to get passed over for promotions etc. Ill try dig the article out, be a shame if it was true...

zero19

Horray for cleavage!

rainbow kirby

I'm relatively big on top, but I'm not really comfortable with showing off a lot of cleavage. I just don't feel comfortable if the twins are on display. I'd prefer people to talk to my face, not to my boobs.
