I've always worked on the principle that a woman who's comfortable with her body, to the point where she'll show it off, is not usually offended by people looking. I always suspect they like the attention.

We have a well endowed girl at work who was talking about some guy or other she took a fancy to. At some point she said...'he didnt even look at my boobs' (to some people that in itself sounds awful..but she's a really nice girl).
I said (in a mickey taking manner) ..'do you feel let and rejected down then when people don't look'...:rolleyes:

'I do' she said.

'I'll do my best to make sure that doesnt happen with me then' :tongue:

Sounds as though its the guy who's got the problem, and even then, he's entitled to his opinion. But he probably should have kept it to himself...or at least worded it a bit better.

He did nothing wrong IMO.

This is a woman he works with regularly, and the extent of her undress was enough for him to notice and mention it, so that would suggest to me that she was showing a lot more than normal.

She is in the wrong for bollocking him.

In future, don't say anything and let her look a twonk with her knockers out.

You can't help some people.

What I intentionally failed to mention is that the incident was raised at his annual appraisal by the same line manager as an example of his lack of social skills. And honest it really wasnt me!! :biggrin:

Didn't you suggest that she might help you identify and improve the social skills she thought you, sorry your colleague, was lacking over dinner?

Yes that was my tactic when my boss was a well-endowed alpha female. She was into low necklines and it was always difficult to know where to look during personal appraisal meetings. Well, perhaps not difficult exactly but you know what I mean.

i find that wierd, i mean, there IS a lot of people with a lack of social skills ( christ i'm a programmer , i've met some people with staggeringly poor social skills), but did she mention what he SHOULD have done, or just use it in the appraisal, after all they are supposed to be two way communications ?
if he wasnt comfortable with her cleavage, then he should be able to mention it ( though hopefully in a less tongue tied manner), it isnt as if she knows exactly how much of that cleavage is on show when she leans forward !

it isnt as if he said 'christ love, tha looks like a tart'......... err is it?
