Low-cut tops

[Odyssey]

Should women be allowed to wear low-cut tops in business?

Having had a number of business meetings with women who wear low-cut tops, it is most distracting in the environment of a business meeting because most people get distracted from the eye-to-eye contact and you find yourself looking down and gawping at the cleavage. This does not make for good business and I wonder if women do this on purpose and that's why I think it should be banned in the working environment.

Personally I don?t understand why they insist on wearing tops at all.

Of course women do it on purpose. All is fair in love and war. You just need to learn to focus your thoughts elsewhere. Please don't ban them.

ur a perve for looking......

if you are not strong enough and proffessional enough to keep eye contact then thats your problem...

dont see women gazing at ur tiny bulge when they talk to you do you...

you perve

[Applespider]

It's a vicious circle. Those of us with boobage are encouraged to wear scoop/V necks as being more flattering to our shape. If we were to wear a high necked top, you may be even more distracted since the boobage looks even more pronounced generally.

Alternatively, get a pair of darkish glasses and then no-one will notice where you're looking or take up cycling and go to your meetings in lycra?

What a load of crap. Calling him a perve for doing what nature intended. Why show them off then? Silly person.

I think that's a very cheap shot calling me a perve for doing something that is naturally normal for most men. If I was to walk topless into the office showing my naturally rippling, toned, six-packed body, would you equally accuse a woman of being a perve for looking?

In my experience, people who say things like beautyofthebeholder are usually the most outrageous hypocrites...

[KalamityKel]

I was reading that as sooooo not a serious comment... come on guys stop looking ;-)

[woofmarkthedog]

Okay

Just to balance it out a bit in the tits vs cock stare out. There are "packet watchers" out there, I sometimes work with an interior designer in Chelsea & boy she is an unrepentant cock watcher however, I genuinely don't mind ,though I do tend wear firmer fitting trousers when I'm going there so as to distract her. She never quibles the quote, which is nice

Sadly she has nothing in the way of clevage to offer back but hey hoo, there's always the train home

w**F

[Ladymuck]

LOL W**F!

(nice to see you back BTW xx)

PS: kisses really for the benefit of Narnia (his xxx thread)

[Narnia]

If only I knew what the xxx thread meant LM.

[Ladymuck]

OK, I was being lazy Narnia...just double the xxx...

[Narnia]

I started it LM. I don't know what it means!

[Ladymuck]

*la la la la la la la*

Applespider, can you explain this comment? Flattering to who is the first question that springs to my mind. If the answer is the 'lads' then you are dressing to please.Please continue.

[Applespider]

Nope... flattering in general; giving lads a potential eyeful isn't the main aim. I will say that we're talking about DD+ boobage here really.

Basically, if you wear a high necked top (turtle/polo or even a classic T), then, if you've got boobs, they will be massively accentuated since there's just a big wall of chest with nothing to break it up - all you see is the outer curve of the boobs. If you wear a scoop/V-neck, the expanse is broken up and it makes big boobs look more 'average'. Same as why you shouldn't have a T-shirt with sleeves that stop at the line of your boobs - again, it makes that expanse of chest look bigger.

Conversely, small-breasted women do wear the T-shirts/polos since it accentuates what they have more.

Having said all that, there's still a fine line between enough of a scoop neck to improve your appearance and letting it all hang out so that no-one knows where to look. If it's so low that you look like your boobs might fall out at any moment, it's probably too low.

[brum]

I admit that I am really enjoying reading this thread all about boobs. But now should I be worried? Will people just think I'm being pervy...?

Carry on.

[legalbeagle]

I'd like to point out that "packet watching" is in my view not the female equivalent (and hello woofie, nice to see you!).

In my view the female verions is oggling a nice pair of buns.

Can you clarify "buns". Do you mean bunions...as in feet watching?

[legalbeagle]

No! (Though whatever blows your hair back!)

Tight pair of buns = buttocks. Yum. The kind that inspire otherwise respectible women to start singing "baby got back".

Ahem.

Did I just share too much?

Not at all. It just means that I will invest in an extra tight pair of jeans tomorrow.

[legalbeagle]

Ok. But just bear in mind there's a fine line between "Baby Got Back" and mincing like a BeeGee. I'm just saying.

my personal opinion, its quite acceptable for the person having the meeting with the person with low-cut top to perhaps occasionally glance at said cleavage.

however.........it would be entirely different if they spent the WHOLE time staring at it and avoiding eye contact, yes?

PS. I think women look at eyes more than anything else...

I don't!! They come third. After buns and hands.
