I’m all for big breasts and all but whenever I see a girl’s cleavage hanging out of her tanktop or something it just seems trashy to me. And those girls that put those stick-on fake diamonds there are just terrible. I just don’t see the appeal of a big crack between a woman’s breasts. Somebody explain.
If a lady wants to show off her breasts, I think that it looks much better to just have them contained but ample - like big breasts in a t-shirt.
Depends on whose cleavage it is. If it’s someone I’m at least sexually attracted to, them it’s a good thing. If she’s wearing a tank top 18 sizes too small, then not so much.
Hmmm so in the summertime, I should worry more about what you perceive as trashy rather than comfort? Tank shirts are a hell of a lot more comfortable than tee shirts. Tell ya what…if ya don’t like cleavage, don’t look. Problem solved. It won’t offend me in the least, since I didn’t dress for you anyway. Here’s a little hint, perhaps she’s not trying to “show off her breasts” maybe, just maybe it’s the only top she found that was both comfortable and flattering. But your opinion is duly noted. Busty ladies of the board, leash the hounds, for abidude has spoken.
As for the stick-on jewels, is just the large breasted women you want to stop using them or all women? I don’t wear em often, but hey sometimes they are fun.

As my Daddy said over 30 years ago, while teaching me to play cards, “Son, if you’re going to hold your hand where I can see it, I’m gonna look.”
I’m a fan.

I’m not talking about walking down the boardwalk in August. I meant more about girls who go to clubs or restaurants. Or even celebrities who go to premieres or award shows.
RE: OP
On a man? Tacky, or at least very disturbing.
On a woman? Depends.
In a formal or evening setting = sexy (although I sure as hell hope you wouldn’t be wearing a tank top in this instance)
In a business or casual setting = tacky
Jewels stuck on skin = always tacky, I don’t care where it is on your body. That goes double for glitter if you’re older than 12.
Butt cleavage = ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS TACKY!!!
Pro-cleavage here. I think many men that don’t like it may be a little intimidated by a woman that shows it. JMHO
I don’t see how a tube top, tank top, or bra that is 6 sizes TOO SMALL is comfortable. I’m not a woman, but corset-esque style clothing must have soemthing to do with discomfort.
But women have been known to undergo much in the name of fashion and beauty.
Still, I like to look. I’m a fan. The woman can be obese (by American standards) and I’ll still look. Attraction to the woman has nothing to do with it. I’m not judging the woman, at all. I’m looking AT the breasts. Period, pencils down. I’m not determining her clothing decisions, or frame of mind, or even accounting for the weather. I want to see the breasts…or the illusion that I can see more of the breasts.
I think, for me, this also applies to flat-chested women. I also want to see how little is there, if I can as well.
It’s a form of voyeurism, plain and simple. If the breasts are large, but NOT hanging out, in some ways that’s more a turn on (for me), because there’s more mystery involved. Hanging out, stretching the fabric to the threshold, is what I would call a “freebie”. Little, to no, effort needed to check out the view.

I personally am not comfortable wearing anything so low cut that my breasts are partially exposed, nor do I like the look on other women. A form-fitting top does an equally good job of showing off the breasts without making the woman look like she’s in danger of falling out.
I usually go to great lengths to not show any cleavage. I don’t feel comfortable wearing low-cut tops (except to certain evening/social events). But some clothes that are meant to not be “low cut” still show off some of my cleavage. So I just do my best. When I sew my own clothes, I raise the neckline a lot. Still, sometimes a bit of cleavage shows.
Forgive me if my ample breasts offend. I assure you it is not intentional.
Just some advice - don’t ever go to a ChiDope.
When I was younger and had major self-esteem issues, I would almost never wear anything that showed off my body because I didn’t have the self-confidence to feel comfortable, either with myself or with any attention I might get. I gained some weight, lost it, and finally feel good about how I look, and consider boobage to be one of my assets. So yeah, I sometimes wear stuff that shows cleavage when I go out. Besides, I’m a 38D, and can hardly hide it the boobage no matter what I wear.
Only time I’ve used glitter was for my Sister Mary Sleazy costume at the Halloween OhDope.
Just wondering, does nipplage cause problems for you, too, abidude?
Busty gal checking in.
When I choose to show off a bit of cleavage, it’s because I think it looks good and sexy. I’m not a slave to fashion styles, I wear what I think looks good and shows off, in my personal opinion, one (heh. Perhaps I should say two) of my best assets. I also don’t get offended when I do show 'em off, and guys look–as long as they don’t stick their nose in 'em (except at Ren Faires, when that’s expected).
I really only show off the cleavage when it’s appropriate: a night out on the town or Renaissance Faires. When I need to be professional, they stay hidden. Same goes for times when I’m in a church or in conservative company.
It’s tacky to flash them when, let’s say, you’re at your grandfather’s funeral.
Tequila, yes you are over the top in said post. Please, if you’re going to be like that, take it here.

I think they’re ok, when out at a club or something. There is this girl at my school who wears them [to school] sometimes and it is quite nasty. Ew.

That said, I think the same general rule applies to cleavage. One ought cover up at work and at school, etc., but when one is going out and such, there’s nothing wrong with a little cleavage. However, IMHO, it looks best if not overdone, just a peek is all that is needed. Leave some to the imagination.
I’m hopelessly smitten by the charms of Cleavage. Renaissance fairs do me in (especially when they’ve got a flower strategically placed).
Check this out:
CalMeacham, cool link. I like the “wench” tagline.
Reminds me of the Batman Vengeance (PlayStation 2 game)…the Joker tells Harley Quin not to kill Batman, because that’s his job. Joker then goes on a rant that “henchmen” don’t kill Batsy, only he [Joker], is allowed to do that.
His line: “Less Hench, more wench!”
The whole “wench” gag continues from there but you get the gist.
Hmmmm…sorry to hi-jack the thread. Now back to gawking at womens breasts! Yippeee!

I never wear tight shirts or show any cleavage. It is sometimes difficult to find clothing because of this, but I manage.
On other people–well I don’t really like any clothes that show off the body. Maybe I’m a hopeless prude. Or a hopeless preppy. 
Me too.
But, on the other hand, sometimes when I see a larger woman who isn’t afraid to show off her curves? I’m thinkin’ “You GO girl.”
I guess I’d agree with what others have said: cleavage is okay for evening. Though mine never shows because I don’t like it on me.
