wildross Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Does anyone else hold their boobs when they need comfort ? No ? Ok .<delurk>Sort of a related question. Why do women wear tight shirts that expose "a lot" and then cover up with their arms or a sweater or a jacket as soon as a guy walks by (who may not even be looking at them)? It seems to me, if you are that self conscious, just don't wear a tight shirt... But then, I am a guy... </delurk> Quote Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

Guest Gemeaux Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Haha . I don't notice it , I mean I don't notice guys doing that . I wouldn't wear a low cut top when I'm on a first date though . I think women should just own it . Quote Link to comment

But then, I am a guy... </delurk>Well... 1) if it's just the arms, haven't you ever noticed that boobies get pushed up and/or the shirt pulls down a bit when a girl crosses her arms just so? 2) If she's covering up with a jacket/sweatshirt, it might not be that she's insecure so much as she doesn't want to be ogled at the moment? 3) Maybe she just likes the feeling of a tight fitting shirt, but then when she thinks about somebody looking at her (when the guy is walking past), she realizes that maybe she's showing off a little more than she wants people to see? 4) There's something to be said for seeming "vulnerable." I'm not good at this one at all, but I had a cousin a year younger than me in high school who seemed shy and vulnerable (except when playing basketball) and EVERYONE liked her. *shrug* Quote Lulu : one that is remarkable or wonderful (it's in the dictionary, it must be true) Battle Log | Pinterest | Twitter | Instagram Link to comment

It seems to me, if you are that self conscious, just don't wear a tight shirt... But then, I am a guy... </delurk>Wildross, you notice it as a man that women do that but I've noticed and am guilty of it, that if I/we have on a tight low cut shirt we tend to tug at it or cover it up when anyone walks by. We may put it on and feel comfortable in the privacy of our home but when someone walks by we instinctively make sure it's covering correctly. Like my babydoll type t-shirts tend to move up a little bit and let a little belly show and I'll tug it back down when I see person walking by, male or female, or catch a glimpse of myself in a reflection.I'll never forget the time I was with my Dad at the doctor and at 70 years old he had to take his shirt off in front of a young nurse and seeing him sit up straight, take his shirt off and pull in his belly and puff out his chest. It was adorable. Quote “Women are like teabags.

Maria Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Man, life is so much better since I discovered the "ignore" function. You know what's great about a being a woman? I can buy my clothes from the boy's section at H&M (not the men's, women's, or girl's section... the boy's) (okay I also get clothes from all the other sections sometimes) and people just think it's quirky or cute rather than creepy. I will stop doing this only when they put Lego Star Wars socks and Captain America t-shirts in the women's section.Oh, why haven't I thought of THAT? I loved my little brother's Donald Duck Tshirt to death at senior high. Now I know where to go shopping next.
