Considering that this place gets hit by bots and trolls I wouldn’t expect credulity from a first time poster talking about tits either. If I ever did meet him, he could touch them if he asked nicely. But no need for the defense ^_^ But it is a nice gesture ^_- ---

Keep showing cleavage like that, and I will stare and I’m glad it doesn’t bother you. ---

So its easily washed off. Oh, I’m sure you will see more of my cleavage around here. I have some animated gifs fro a certain turnip and a few others who want their name on my tits. But thats another topic for another time ^\_- @panaccione: Thanks a lot! But its OK for the “haters” to question someone or even dislike what they do. The whole board is based on the skeptical mind and rationality so I see nothing wrong with having to defend myself. I’d rather deal with thoughtful people who have good critical thinking skills than a bunch of 10 year olds, thats why I came here. BBQ pit is opinions anyway and I’m not the least bit scared off by a question of gender 😛 As far as some of the guys who feel like they are being taunted or teased by women in general who dress like me. Some of those women are total bitches and are indeed trying to flaunt themselves and titillate you knowing they are doing so. But honestly, most the girls I talked to that show off like to do it and like complements and above all are totally secure in their womanhood and how we like to dress. Its just part of the fashion we like, just like hair styles or tattoos. And we LIKE when a guy looks; and thats the honest truth. What irks me is that they look and then look shamefaced. Thats what I don’t get and I don’t know why looking at pretty or sexy or cute things is somehow wrong. Is it because the women fluster you or is it because of an inborn polite feelings? C’mon, tell a girl why you really do it! To the guys who feel to old or “creepy” to look. Just look. Old guys and people most wouldn’t consider pretty or handsome are men too and they have needs and feelings and I sure won’t deny an old man his fantasies ^\_- [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/men-who-stare-and-act-ashamed-about-it/653020.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/men-who-stare-and-act-ashamed-about-it/653020.md?page=7)
