Admit it, women: ever use your breasts to your advantage?

Women with big breasts have an easier time in society, I call this 'boobrigation"

The Blackadder tried that once. Didn’t work at all. As for me, I don’t even have 1% of what it takes to go out in public with a codpiece (or speedo when swimming, t’aint me) on. Although if I thought that wearing one might make things cheaper and people nicer, then maybe. After all, we basically know what every single person on this planet looks like naked anyway. Maybe this one has a tattoo, this one is cut, this one is fake but we pretty much come in only two styles.

Although I thought women were more interesting in buns. And if that’s the case then I would guess there are many men who accentuate their behind for attention. I don’t because I have no idea if mine’s good or not.

It’s easier to get your requests played at a club if you’re (a) a girl, and (b) wearing something low-cut. In my experience, anyway.

When I had a job cataloging research videos, I had to carry big stacks of cassettes from the storage cabinet to my computer. I found that tucking the top of the stack under my rack helped prevent the cassettes from tipping over while I walked.

Thanks, breasts!

I use mine to prop up a plate of snacks while watching TV in bed. The rest of the time they are just in the way.

:confused:

Well, no. I think my beautiful smile and my eyes get me more places than my breasts. I honestly don’t see what’s so fascinating about breasts when eyes can tell you so much more about a person. What is the big deal for you fellas? All a breast is is some mammary glands with a bunch of fat and water, blood vessels, and nerves covered in skin. Hardly appealing.

[hijack] Word to the wise, Encitas - it’s an L not an I in lno. Just so’s you know.[/hijack]

I appreciate you perspective, celestina, and would not be the least bit surprised if your beautiful smile and eyes get you places. Why? Because most guys fold in the face of beauty, however one defines it. The fact that eyes can tell you so much more is not the point - it is whether the guy thinks they are beautiful eyes. This is about objectification for the most part - i.e., about a woman as a physical object, or set of components, not as a person. I am not happy about that (or sad, for that matter), but it’s true. If you are using your eyes, breasts, whatever to “get you more places” it is because the guy in question likes the physical object of you, not the person within.

As for Why breasts? - well, you may think of them as skin and fat and water, but in the right combination, those ingredients make a perky-nippled thing of beauty! Straight guys are wired to like them (and some gay guys appreciate them, and I would assume lesbians dig 'em, too), and we fully embrace that programming. I could wax poetic about the beauty of breasts, but if you have to ask, you’ll never know.

But for straight guys (can’t speak for others) it goes deeper. Guys can’t not look at breasts - if you have a guy that can, then he has been well trained to rein in his first instinct. Not looking is a learned skill, and one that we all try, but only a few master. It ain’t pretty, but its true.

Oh, the irony of me correcting you and getting your name wrong is almost too much for me to bear. Encinitas.

When I did play games of that variety, it was the legs rather than the boobs (at the time, I didn’t have much in the way of boobs). They worked for an econ professor of mine…

Thanks Francesca. Fixed!

OK, back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Just in case I’m not being whooshed…:confused:

Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. * which might keep off the leerers, but…*
The underlined bit is the basis for the expression “plea the fifth.”

Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

I have reasonably large chesticles and mainly they are an inconvenience and I would gladly give some of them away to any women who wanted to boost her own. I don’t deliberately “use” them to get anything but on occasion I have found it surprisingly easy to get served by male bar tenders.
