God, imagine having that sort of choice at national election level. It'd keep me amused and entertained for months. Instead of my usual options of Labour, Tory and Community Action Party (save the flashes! don't build a ring road!) The Liberal democrats can't even be arsed to front anyone these days. Probably because it's a deposit loser.

Can I borrow this thread for a minute? Just to ask... what is the female view on largely revealed cleavage in the workplace?
In the building where I work there seem to be more ladies with open décolletage than I've ever seen before. It's like something out of Jane Austen.
Now, I'm a decent sort of chap and not generally a letch or anything, but in some of these cases... well, where do you look? It's very attractive, y'know, but it's kind of the equivalent of wearing a sexy nightie, or a bikini... the sort of thing you do in certain company or at certain times, not so much at work really.
When I used to cycle in the Summer I would wear cycling shorts and I'm fully aware that they can be a bit revealing, if practical, and I'd always quickly nip in through the door and straight into the shower room to change. If I happened to meet a lady during that short time then I can guarantee that they would look, even if I was trying to get past and out the way as soon as possible. I can't imagine walking round like that all day.
What opinions from the ladies of the forum? Or the men?

There was a bad moment once, when i was working at ERT and we were having an editorial meeting. I was trying to make a point, and waved my hands with a flourish. The lid of my pen flew off and landed in the cleavage of the girl sitting opposite me. Then I didn't know where to look. The worst thing about it was the publisher kept bellowing with laughter and making jokes about it, trampling all over the serious suggestion I was trying to make.

quote:Originally posted by dang65: What opinions from the ladies of the forum? Or the men?
The thing is: if somebody is revealing their cleavage, they want you to see it. Otherwise it completely misses the point. On occasions, when faced with a particularly inviting cleavage, I've made a point of not looking anywhere near 'it', instead battling not to allow my sight to stray from their eyes. When this occurs, the subject usually makes it even more difficult for you not to look (by leaning over/fiddling with their bra/pulling their top a millimeter lower), therefore you have to concede and look -- conclusion: two satisfied parties.

I'd agree with that. Not meaning to sound all she's asking for it, the slag or anything, but if you wear a top that shows most of your cleavage you've got to expect at least a few looks. I don't think it's very professional to show too much skin at work though.

Posted by wonderstarr (Member # 1158) on :
I once read a long thread on a question-answering website, dealing with whether it was OK etiquette to compliment a co-worker on her bra, when you could see the strap. Most people advised that this would constitute unacceptable crossing of a line. I guess it might depend on various factors, though, such as your relationship with the woman and whether you're female yourself. The scenario was that it was a brightly-coloured strap, obviously "worn to be seen" and deliberately chosen as an element of the outfit as a whole, with the wearer knowing that it was visible.
Posted by wonderstarr (Member # 1158) on :
I really made a potentially flirty office scenario sound deadeningly boring, there. Maybe I should work in a courtroom.
Posted by New Way Of Decay (Member # 106) on :
I suppose tone of voice accounts for a lot too. If you were kind of nervously laughing, it might imply you felt that seeing the bra-strap was too uncomfortable for you. If it was said in a quiet whispery voice. That would offend I think. Yeah. That would wouldn't it?

Posted by missgolightly (Member # 34) on :
I'd say it would be okay to compliment a woman at work on her bra if you were a woman yourself, knew she wanted it to be seen and knew her quite well. If you were at a bar or club, you'd probably get away with saying it to a woman you'd just met, again if you were a woman yourself. For a man, it'd be safer not to mention it I think, and just compliment her on her outfit as a whole.
And yes, I would be very scared if Brian Blessed complimented me on my bra.
Posted by wonderstarr (Member # 1158) on :
That sounds pretty much right, miss golightly. I suggest it'd be OK from a man at work you were on properly friendly terms with, too. It's a funny boundary, really - even if a bra strap is obviously and deliberately on show at work, it still counts as underwear and so still has a few taboos around it.
Depennding on the job, you could also say it was unprofessional to have a bra strap visible at all.
Posted by dang65 (Member # 102) on :
quote:Originally posted by wonderstarr: Depending on the job, you could also say it was unprofessional to have a bra strap visible at all.
Yeah, this is kind of what I'm talking about really. Not just the bra strap, but approximately 50% of the entire breast in some cases. I presume it's just that these ladies don't think of an openly exposed cleavage as being any different to, say, having a nice hairdo or wearing high-heeled shoes to make their legs look good.
I suppose that by commenting on it I'm just admitting that I'm a perve, that I shouldn't look upon a large pair of breasts any differently than a man's beer belly or a woman's earrings. They're just part of the way that person looks.
But then I think, what if there was a garment which exposed a large part of a man's willy, but not the nob bit and not the pubes/balls end - just the innocent fleshy bit in between. Would that be acceptable?
Actually, I can really see that catching on. With different "cup sizes" perhaps? * picks up charcoal and artists pad * Call it the "pra" perhaps? Better names?

My understanding is that your pra would show the bit of shaft displayed by Jack, Jade's boyfriend, when he danced to "You Sexy Thing" in the Make Big Brother Laugh task this year. Or maybe that was shaft-base.

Posted by Benny the Ball (Member # 694) on :
Is there a part of a mans penis that isn't offensive? Not in the way that breasts aren't offensive, no. But I'd say that the base of the shaft is probably the least offensive part - or if you're looking for a clevage effect, it would be the sort of V bump where the groin begins and the stomache ends, wouldn't it?
Posted by wonderstarr (Member # 1158) on :
I think the equivalent of cleavage would probably be the "pleasure trail" displayed, for instance, by Daniel Radcliffe.
Posted by MiscellaneousFiles (Member # 60) on :
Where do we stand on arse cleavage and the visible thong concept?
Posted by Benny the Ball (Member # 694) on :
on men? Men's arses always look unhealthy - the arse clevage is the window to the, er, soul? On women it's kind of a little un-nerving - sometimes when women bend down or crouch, and a thong or crack becomes visible, it tends to be with the back stretched and the tail-bone bent under, which flattens the curve of the bum, removing something of the 'feminine' of it - which I don't like too much.

I'm not sure a flaccid cock on partial display would be that much of an attraction to most women anyway. I certainly doubt it would have the same reaction as a half exposed breast does to a man anyway.

One of my old bosses used to wear really low-cut tops and a bra that helped jiggle her breasts around. She was always managing to display them all the time. I think she caught me looking, but then she showed up the next day in an even more revealing top. She fired me. She looked like you, Louche.

Oddly enough, it's not so much embarrassment as uncertainty of etiquette or the perception of what a large cleavage is meant to signify in the workplace. The place I'm working at now is the first place where I've known so many women to walk around with seriously on-show breasts. Maybe it's just that it's the fashion at the moment, or my eyesight's improved or something.
As I said above, I suspect that women probably see their breasts in this situation as just another part of the body that they want to make look nice, and don't think of it as a sexual thing at all, or at least no more than, say, wearing make up. Would that be right do you think?
I'm really not complaining or being prudish - just wanted to know what the, uh, view is like from the, er, other side of the hills as it were.

Well, breasts are secondary sexual organs, so I'm not convinced they can ever really be considered as the same as the rest of your body.
I wouldn't know the mentality behind "getting em out" at work, as to me dressing for work and dressing to go out are completely different. I would also have thought it's a bit chilly for exposing lots of flesh, although perhaps you have "heating" in your workplace and people don't have to wear two jumpers.
If I jiggled or had proper cleavage, I would probably be tempted to flaunt it in an increasingly tacky and unnecessary manner, giggling to myself all the time.

It is very warm in our offices, yes. Which may partially explain the phenomenon. It's very unfair actually, because men have to wear ties, by order of the management, whilst ladies may cool themselves by airing large areas of their bodies. And quite likely contributing to making men even hotter at the same time. Posted by ralph (Member # 773) on :
Dang is angry that women in his office are exposing their breasts. What's wrong with this picture?

Why would you want to hit BR in the shins? Posted by New Way Of Decay (Member # 106) on :
Oh ralph, if you'd have evolved enough to understand even basic humour, you'd understand that the arm swinging motion is one accompanied by the kicking of stones and scuffing of feet. To imply dissapointment. Yet another desperate attempt at one-upmanship. I'll bet you were the sort of guy who hung around on the football pitch scoring touchdowns on your own to even empathise with a member of the winning team.

I thought the "shaft" bit was still... rude. Is that the penis part you're suggesting?
