You think she’d be objectified?
I am, but I wouldn’t say I feel guilty about it. It’s more or less involuntary and there’s not much sense in feeling guilt about something you can’t help. And I figure just about everyone checks out people of their preferred gender from time to time. But I don’t stare and I’d feel like crap if I realized I was making someone uncomfortable.
DD is DD.
<shrugs> Who knows?
What a ridiculous and sexist statement. Shameful? Really? And, even presupposing that, it’s only their mothers who can break them of this “shameful” tendency?
Atlas.
John Galt knows.
But who is John Galt?
How about the mayor of Rio de Janeiro?
I’m thinking that they have already embraced the concept of breasts and buttocks on parade in Rio de Janeiro.
That whole jiggly samba thing they do is far more interesting than large helium ballon of an outdated cartoon character.
I donno. I used to be really bad at looking, but then when we had our babies and I was suddenly around lots of breastfeeding Japanese women who went from A cup to D or more overnight, all down on the padded floor playing with their babies at the community center.
Once you become aware of what you’re doing, you can learn to look at people’s faces, or just not stare.
Look at it as a physics problem. The further away you are, the harder it is for others to determine where you are looking at. No one cares if you look from 200 yards, whereas talking to a woman’s breasts instead of her face is extremely rude, right?
Parachuting in to add my two cents, as a guy who does in fact enjoy looking at breasts:
There is looking at a woman’s breasts, and then there is staring at them. Compare to interacting with strangers on the street. Glancing at them, maybe even tossing out a nod and a polite content-free greeting in passing is just fine. Prolonged eye contact, OTOH, is not.
Same applies for looking at a woman’s décolletage. Quick glance is fine, prolonged staring is not. In fact, as I recall being taught when learning about job interviews in school: prolonged uninterrupted eye contact even with a person you are conversing with can make people uncomfortable. You’re supposed to move your focus around a bit (from one eye to the other, or down towards the nose or mouth and back) so you don’t give off the impression of a hunting dog zeroed in on a bird.
This is where a pair of binoculars comes in handy.
Boy, did I parse that wrong. Now I’m picturing you politely tipping your hat to a pair of breasts on the street as you walk by. “G’day, boobs”.
And you’d think the police would understand this simple fact, but noooo…
Or a drone.
I’m curious - how would men feel if women started staring at their crotches? And I don’t mean this as a joke. Really stop and imagine it, and how you’d react.
Would you start dressing differently, either to hide or enhance the area? Would you think the woman was flirting with you for looking? What if you were with your sister, or your wife, or your kids when it happened?
This may be best summary of the entire thread of The Real Issue being discussed.
And in this case it would be Flobbing Dicks instead of Flobbing Titties that would become an argument over sexual assault or funny prank and things in between.
Regardless of how the issues are resolved, I’m going on record as a Breast Man. Always have been, always will. And I am flat gonna look!
Fine, but you didn’t answer any of the questions. ![]()
I’d certainly begin buying tube socks again.![]()
Well, then, I’ll answer them in the way I would answer any such broad question: It Depends! There are no simple answers. Period.
Oops, sorry. I worded my question incorrectly. Here:
**Men, how would you feel if women started staring at your crotch? **
Would you start dressing differently, either to hide or enhance the area? Would you think the woman was flirting with you for looking? What if **you **were with your sister, or your wife, or your kids when it happened?
