You seem just as unhappy with them as I am.

And frightened. You’re as white as a ghost!

Those are nice, but can you do them in a gif? I like a little movement.

I think the OP is stupid. Seriously, you want men to look at your cleavage and not act ashamed about it or look away? Do you realize that the chances of that are about equivalent of us establishing a world government within the next few years? Yeah, ain’t goin’ to happen…at least not in the real world, maybe fantasy land.

You see, the problem here is, _you_ may not mind men looking at your cleavage, but it can be assumed that _most_ women would go and slap the guy if he didn’t make an effort to at least look away.

I hate these kinds of threads - threads where women get pissed at every trivial goddamn thing that men do.

So you should just be quiet and stop complaining, or get have, “Look at my cleavage,” written on your clothing, okay? :rolleyes:

No, I did not read the thread, just the OP. I don’t have time to be reading five pages of this shit thread.

Another point, it’s called self-respect and respect for others. By not looking away or acting ashamed you are basically showing that you lack self-respect and respect for her.

I don’t think most women want men looking at their cleavage, but there are exceptions such as the OP. The problem is that men are probably not going to stop looking away because it seems as if women like the OP are a minority.

And frankly, I think the OP is acting like a bit of an attention-seeker as she does say:

So you like that kind of attention, huh? Have some self-respect.

Alright, I am done posting in this shithole. Have a nice day (or night rather).

Meh. You folks are easily impressed. The internet is full of pictures of [great tits](http://www.stockphotopro.com/photo-thumbs-2/B6YHMH.jpg). There is no shortage of [bouncing tits](http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090227175854/uncyclopedia/images/1/18/Bouncing_tits.gif) either.

I’m waiting for the Lifetime movie called _Has Tits, Seeks Attention: The Donna Lange Story_ starring Tori Spelling. Featuring the tearful admission that Daddy just didn’t hug her enough or hugged her just a little too long.

This isn’t going to be an official train wreck until DL and the “twins” appear on Dr. Phil and they get into a shouting match about how Donna is exploiting them.

What? Titties have feelings too you know. :mad:

I believe this little webcomic 'ere sums up the board’s rather ambivalent reaction at large to the thread _quite_ succinctly:

But then, I’m crazy, and more of an ass man.

I don’t understand why (and I sort of wish I did), but that cracked me up. 🙂

Girl, you need to get a bra that actually fits. Go to Nordstrom or a quality boutique and get a proper fitting (forget Victoria’s Secret; the salespeople aren’t trained well and the bras are poorly made), and your boobs and back will thank you.

My back is perfectly fine my dear and the bra fits like a dream. Its only so jiggle because I’m bending over and bouncing in place.

@VT, the reason is due to Bronies it appears…
