I was only looking...

[Charli]

Meh she's an attention seeker. If I wear an obviously ahem, "carefully fitting" ensemble and get a few stares here and there I'm gonna be feeling pretty smug about it, not looking to scare the wits out of any poor sod who dares take a peek. I mean whats the point!?

Once again I apologize on behalf of my gender for it's complexities. I don't get it either some days.

And I mean I have done this before, if a girl is so insecure about her beauty as to not be able to appreciate a little attention, well meant or not, she needs to be given a few tips on self esteem and poise...

 

[GBlair88]

If you don't want people looking, then cover them up.

End of.

 

[General Ken8]

that is odd, but then again if i were a girl with large. . um. . . well, you know, and someone was staring i'd be a little offended

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

Yeah, I guess she shouldn't have had them so blatantly obvious in public, because that's all she can expect.

But hey, that's women =P

 

[ProfessorLayton]

It's like saying "Well if she didn't want it, she wouldn't be dressing like that! She was practically begging for it!" But really if you don't want people looking, you shouldn't be showing them off like that. Honestly it's pretty stupid that people do that. People just like being assholes I guess.

 

[Ace of Spades]

I find it rather hypocritical to wear clothing like that and then be offended when people look. It's the same kind of thing with curtains. As Dara O'Briain said, "Put up some curtains, otherwise I'm lookin' into your feckin' house."

best...quote...ever...

at least it is when relative to the current topic

Thanks. If you want to hear it in context, which is hilarious by the way, start at about 9:45 on the video.

dude it happens all the time like today i was sitting in the class and the one chick came to me and was talking about class party and had her breast like out and when she tried to talk i was lik what huh huh ? so dude its not a big problem its normal

 

[thebrainiac1]

You know what pisses me off more than ANYTHING on this topic?. Shirts with writing across the breast on women. I cant read it because il be called a pervert but it seems like the person in question wasted their time buying a humerous shirt if i do not.

Fig one: Read a girls shirt in town one i knew in passing and was called a pervert for staring there when theres some writing in MASSIVE multicoloured font.

Fig two: Different girl gets annoyed at me for not noticing the funny writing writen across her chest.

WHY DAMMIT WHY! I cant win with these people.

When it comes to women, you can NEVER win. The man is ALWAYS wrong.
For advice with women, I turn to Chris Rock. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgJOqca_Mpw&feature=related] (about 40 seconds in)

 

[lolcatize]

and guess what i got busted and she like : yeah i got you but instead of calling me a pervert she laughed about it

 

[-Orgasmatron-]

Should of headbutted her, what's she doing dressing like that if she don't want people looking?

Ontop of all that, wtf was she doing out the kitchen?

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

You're the pervert? When I put on my face and a skimpy dress people look at me too...and apparently in this scenario I'm the pervert...double standards.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

She was dressing provocatively. She's a hypocrite for calling you a pervert for watching. What did she expect? Sounds like a stuck up ***** to me.

 

[Seldon2639]

Well some women feel offended when a guy "not up to her standards" stares away like that. Also you could have made it a little less obvious. That was probably some girl i know, youre lucky you didnt get punched. You have much to learn young one.

I need to stop agreeing with you, it'll be bad for my reputation as contrary and petulant.

OP, if you'd been Hugo Slavinski (a name I only know because of Britanick) and staring at her, I'd bet you dimes to dollars that she would have blushed, and maybe even offered you her number. But, you're not, so instead of it being flattering and "good" attention, it was creepy "bad" attention.

Rule of thumb: if you're attractive enough that she'd likely date you, stare away. If you're not, it's creepy. I don't agree with the rule, but them's the breaks

but thats just pointing out that there is a double standard =| if i walked around in tight pants that let people see the outline of any erection i ever get, i wouldnt 1. care if an "unattractive" or "unpopular" girl was idolizing it, and 2. wouldnt be allowed to speak up to them if they did =|

Yes, there's a double standard. Yes, it's crappy. And, yes, if you walked in public wearing revealing clothing you would enjoy any attention you get from the opposite sex (positive attention, anyway). That's kind of a fundamental truth of life: men and women are different. Actually, everyone on the planet is different. Women who dress in such a way as to accent their features aren't usually doing so for non-specific male attention. They aren't doing it to be leered at by just any guy. She's doing it for the cute guy at the coffee shop, or the hot guy on the football team, or the professor she needs an "A" from. Even if she doesn't have a particular "target", she's looking for "good" male attention. She wants to be noticed by hot guys, and sexy guys, and guys she'd be willing (even eager) to sleep with.

She doesn't want attention from you.

People of different levels of physical attractiveness will get different reactions. That's just reality. Standing outside a girl's house holding up a boombox works for John Cusack, and almost any other really attractive guy. If I did it, I'd look like an idiot, and seem really creepy.

To quote from Gantz Abridged:

"Warning to all impressionable young people: asking her upfront right away is not a good way to get a girl to sleep with you. It only worked this time because Kurono is a badass action hero, and Sakura Oka is kind of a slut. You are not a badass action hero, you are a pathetic otaku, and even a slut like Sakura Oka wants to sleep with you."

 

[Haunted Serenity]

She was insecure about something and got hostile to cover it up.

 

[Hutch Hutchenson]

dude it happens all the time like today i was sitting in the class and the one chick came to me and was talking about class party and had her breast like out and when she tried to talk i was lik what huh huh ? so dude its not a big problem its normal

Gotta love the low cut shirts. "Whatcha looking at?" The cleavage you have so gloriously put on display.

 

[TheHitcher]

I think men earn the right to stare at breasts when they're on display.

Seriously, is there any other reason for them to be on display? I know that sounds sexist, but think about it properly, and it's not. Of course it's rude to stare for long periods of time. But if a women doesn't want her bits to be stared at, why dress in a revealing way?

 

[Xanadu84]

I think I see the problem...

You looked at her face, long enough to know all of those details. You looked eyes, she was looking at you, you were looking at her. Then, while locking eyes, and connecting in a small way, you then looked down at her breasts.

Don't blatantly let a girl know that your staring at her breasts. She wants to show them off, but drawing attention to the fact that your staring is just going to make her self conscious. It was a forgivable mistake, and she over-reacted. Learn your lesson in the discreet peak and move on. And if needing to be a little discreet is the price you must pay to encourage attractive girls to show em' off, then for the love of god, be discreet. It is a small price to pay.

 

[Aptspire]

My answer:
"Don't like it? Don't show em"
then again it is October in Quebec so there aren't many chances of this happening to me (it is cold outside and it is raining)

 

[Captain Schpack]

If they were out there, you can look. I mean siriusly if you know it'll happena and that it going to bother you that much then cover the fuck up.

 

[Wilfy]

No you're not a pervert.
Same sort of thing happened to me. A girl was bent over my desk when she was talking to me, said "Oh, bit of clevage there" and then told me off when I looked. I mean, she pointed it out for Christ's sake.
