The best ones are when it’s not so obvious. It becomes a game to see how you can sneak peaks. One day I was working with this lady who had the top two buttons of her shirt unbuttoned. She was sitting to the left of me at a table and we were going over a document and working on a laptop. Whenever she leaned over slightly, I got a full view of the sexiest lacy pink bra. At that point I didn’t care if she knew or not because by the way she was sitting, if she didn’t want me to see, she would have adjusted. I wonder if women fully realize how much they give away when they wear low cut shirts or tank tops in the summer time. Also, that Cleavage show on A&E was fantastic. Better than any softcore porn. ---

I used to stare a lot and was probably pretty obvious, but then again, my dad is to blame about that. When I was a kid I used to take swimming lessons every summer. My dad would always point out the attractive female swim instructors who were _ahem_ a little too cold. Sometimes the body language of a woman actually makes it hard for me to keep my eyes off them. Like if they are adjusting their shirt or tugging at a bra strap or something it subconciously convinces me there must be something interesting in there…like pirate gold or something. Other body language that distracts me is when its somewhat cold outside and there is a girl wearing a tight shirt with maybe an open coat and she’s tugging the coat over because its a little nipply outside. My mom used to get a lot of people staring at her because she has a mole right where her cleavage starts. Since she has fair skin, it really stands out. She jokingly referrs to it as her ‘sexy mole’ :laughs: ---

But if you _do_ leave it at home, make sure you get a neighbor to check up on it periodically if you’re going to be gone for a long time. ---

Our newest poster to this forum is evidently a thirteen-year-old girl! And we do _not_ want to corrupt her with our filthy language while she reads this thread about, um, er, ogling breasts. :eek: ---

Cleavage is how easily a crystal can be split into smaller, regular pieces. What? Oh never mind. ---
