Heart On My Sleeve, that right there? Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks for making me cackle and making my dog look at my oddly.
Contrary, don’t be jealous. If it makes you feel better, I only have a period once every six months or so due to that old bastard we call Endo. Endo Metri Osis. The fucker!
TOTAL ASIDE
QGG:
I’ve admired you since I read your first post. I’m glad I could make you laugh!
And Contrary , I got the painful boobs, too. The hubby offers to massage them and I turn into Satan.
When I’m really cold, mine are pretty obvious. And I’m often pretty cold. I used to be kinda embarassed about it, but now I really don’t care all that much anymore.
I never notice when I have headlights; I wear molded (not padded) bras that prevent their appearance either way, so I never think about it. I can’t feel it at all.
My mother always said that visible nipples were tacky. Don’t know if I agree with her, but I do prevent visible nipples. 
Audrey, I think “molded” was the word I wanted before, not “padded,” which still add some volume that I don’t want. In any case, I mostly wear Victoria’s Secret “Signature” cotton bras cuz they’re so comfy. So there’s nipplage a fair amount.
I’m always suprised when I hear of women covering them up (with duct tape?!). Once you’ve been forced to stand up and walk with an erection a couple of times, the thought your nipples sticking out is hardly shocking.
My girlfriend never knows when her headlights are on.
Lucky our car has a manual transmission. Had t’ push start it again this morning.
Pardon?
Oh. :eek:
I almost never notice; frankly, my office is about 95% women, and we’re pretty laid-back about these things (and thankfully, so is H.R.) Although I do suspect the now semi-retired Managing Director used to keep the temps in the conference room at Arctic levels just to see us, ummmm, shining at our best.
Hell, I have enough problems getting various body parts to behave themselves; I already have to beat my hair into submission every morning. No way am I gonna modify my boobs to please some misguided man; most men like them just fine the way they are (at least, those men who have expressed an opinion on the matter). I’m not a sexy dresser in the office, so anyone who complains about a natural anatomical reaction frankly needs to get a life.
And duct tape? OUCH!
I must say that Eva has the best hair, ever!
I never notice and am not sure if they ever stand at attention when I’m out in public. Nobody looks anyway.
I agree with the ‘bitches’ in the office. Talk about Glass ceilings!
But I must ask Queergeekgirl how old are you? If you can live life braless (lucky bitch) with no discomfort you must be… what 11?
30 and a ‘B’ cup, still attached to my bra. My Girl is always encouraging me to ditch the restraint, but I’m not that confident.
ROFL!
Not that I’m encouraging any of you ladies to hide anything but, if you’re considering the tape idea, use Gaffer’s tape. It’s available from good photo supply places, and it’s designed to hold well, but be removable. Unlike duct tape, which is designed to hold till the end of time. Gaffer’s tape costs more than duct tape, but a lot less than nipple reattachment surgery. The specially designed thingies are probably even better, but probably also even more expensive.
I just had to respond to this, and to all the others who said “the guys didn’t notice, didn’t complain, etc.” Unless every guy you worked with was homosexual, then they definitely noticed. But why complain? I experienced this at various places I’ve worked. Depending on the relative sophistication of the people I worked with, guys would even give each other the ‘heads up’ (so to speak) to check out whoever was pointing the way at a particular time. Nobody ever told the woman involved, and I never heard or saw anything to indicate they were even aware of it.
So, congratulations QGG, you worked with some pretty professional guys if you never felt uncomfortable. But they were still men. There’s no way they didn’t notice.
And I gotta say, this thread has really educated me on who in the SDMB is female and who is not. To say nothing of all the D-cups out there. I had no idea!
Awww, shucks. Want half of it? I have a love/hate relationship with it; it’s one of the few traits I have from Dad (the others being blue eyes and killer allergies). It definitely has a mind of its own.
And I just realized that basically the entire female guest list from last week’s ChiDope is in this thread somewhere. I’m sure the guys are here too, but they’re just lurking. Maybe it’s the lingering aftereffects of Manifest Breastiny.
I had several days in a row of 24-hour headlights. Probably the only thing which would keep the girls quiet under those circumstances IS duct tape, which I shy away from. So, mostly, they show up through my clothes. Which wouldn’t bother me so much except they were ouchy, and . . . I teach middle school.
HR got involved over that? You poor thing, how stupid is that? I’m so sorry that happened to you. The little old ladies sewing circle must have been green with jealousy.
I love the term Nips Ahoy. That will be going through my head for quite awhile.
I know when I’m “puckering” up. When I’m horny (quite often now that I’ve hit my prime), cold, in the freezer section of the grocery store-LOL, or even when a man looks at me just right, it happens.
Who was saying that it was happening to them a lot recently? I’m with you! I’m not sure why though. But hey, I guess it’s a conversation starter, right? :dubious:
It was more that we were giving each other the heads up on hot girls. I know the “cough-jerk your head in her direction to give a buddy a clue-give a leery grin” ceremony well. Not that, uh, I partake in ogling. Because I don’t. Seriously. For real.
coughs
Oh, they noticed, I’m sure. I’m just saying that they didn’t give a shit. Like I said, I was (and almost always am) viewed as just another dude. Just with a vagina.
It also probably helps that I’m not attractive nor ogle-worthy. Yes, I’m sure that “men are men”, but I don’t think most men are going to leer at a 250 pound dyke in Doc Martens, ripped jeans, and a Ramones t-shirt, with her hair in a bun and not a trace of makeup.
And those who would are desperate souls indeed!
I love it when the puppys are barking.
God I love it. It seems more apparent the last few years. What the hells going on?
A deeper appreciation of the female body?
No, I don’t generally notice. Probably because they don’t have great reasons to be so… unless it’s really cold or something.
