Oy. I'm pretty paranoid about visible underwear or visible anything that might catch somebody's attention. That includes the too loose t-shirts that leave too much room for things to stand out 3D (some blouses leave nothing to the imagination, even if they are completely opaque), or the dreaded see-through that only look see-through in direct sunlight, or with the sun from behind. Or very loose blouses/lace blouses that don't have too much pattern to break the shapes and colours so that the skin appears uniform.

And who came up with the hellish combination of low cut jeans blowses that leave the midriff showing and thongs that are too. fucking. high.

I'm sure some women do it on purpose for attention. And, frankly, if the guys who noticed dropped on their knees in front of me and sang me medieval ballades and read me Keats and Shakespearean sonnets, and threw roses on my path, maybe I'd do something like that too. But, alas you're mostly stuck with the I've just had a fish slap on my face look, the whisles, and the Oh, I'm so original with this line move.

Or worse.

IRON MAN

I used to work with a girl called Heidi who well, she was a bit of a scrag to say the least. One day soon after I started working there, (a retail store), I see her bending over to pick up a box, and a g-string is like half-way up her back, sticking out of her hipster pants.

Not a pretty sight really, she had just enough fat to make hipster jeans a definite fashion crime.

I, thinking of the customers, waited for a convenient time and approached her and said quietly, "Um, (h-hmmm), uh, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, Heidi, but when you were bending down over there, I could see your underwear."

She got this god-awful cheshire cat grin on her face and said in a satisfied voice, "Yeah I know."

Oh for the love of Christ.

So there you go, that's at least one woman who's aware of something similar. I tried to do the gentlemanly thing, and found out the awful truth.

Just goes to show that there is such a thing as having too much confidence.

Baiseuse

(. . . Edit remainder for brevity's sake.)

In your opinion. A lot of men like zaftig women.

I speak from personal experience. :Cheeky:

But I do like my pants to sit at my waist (not low-slung) because they're more comfortable.

I don't think confidence was the issue. How 'bout wear a pink tutu with a pope hat if you so wish on your free time, but respect the workplace rules?

Oh, and the hips that flow over the edges effect? Some people are fat, but low-cuts are really by definition not suited for female geometry. Unless you have the curves of a prepubescent boy and the pelvis to match, the mid part of the body is going to look weird.

Bah, guys have it so much easier. "Oh, I'm going to wear, lesse black/orange/blue/etc t-shirt with baggy jeans, or regular jeans. Ummm, done!"

Theli

How about respecting people outside the workplace?
I don't know, for me it does sound like a case of bloated selfconfidence. I mean, some people just don't dress for their figure, and I assume their friends are too nice to tell them.
Hmmm... didn't we have to drop to our knees and sing medieval ballades, cite shakespearean poetry and carry around roses all day in the offchance someone with a see through skirt comes walking by so we can toss the roses at her feet?
Dressing yourself does sound alittle easier.

IRON MAN

Yes a lot of men did like her, she had a stud in her tongue etc, and I suppose wasn't all that bad static looks wise ...

I have some pretty non-standard preferences when it comes to women, and her personality just reduced my personal opinion of her, to me she was just kinda skanky, and that made her less attractive.

Had to look up zaftig. I like women who have curves, so it's not just that. 50 years on an Marilyn Monroe is still a sexy woman to me.


I fucking hate this hipster fashion. You hit the nail right on the head, which is to say, the arse of a 12 year old boy, (no curves), is what is in. Yuck. :down:

And the bikini bottoms that cut straight across under the hips - yuck, that's what a 5 year old girl wears to the beach. I much prefer the over the hips 80's style swimsuits that make a woman's legs look longer. :love:

Maybe the same thing is happening here as happened in Japan, where women try to look like little girls.

My daughters are both models and do have the body type for the hipster fashion, but they seem to lose even more weight everytime I see them, it is like they are going through puberty backwards.


Well think about it, if your ballad singing sux, you can always improve. If a woman's looks are genetically under par, there's sweet FA she can do about it, (in the medieval context), and she winds up doing a lot of sitting around waiting.

Likewise if a woman gets all dolled up and goes to the prince's ball, she could well wind up spending the whole time sitting on her arse while she is passed over in preference of all the barbie dolls.

I have some female friends who are very lonely due to this kind of thing.

Fortunately there are few truly ugly women in the world, so one day some guys gonna notice them.

But think about it, even if putting all that crap on your face, and staying in minute-to-minute fahion was easier, then when you are done, that's it. That's all you can do. You just have to stand there like you're in gym class hoping you don't get picked last.

Personally, I like the idea that I can dress comfortably and all I have to do is slay dragons and shit to compensate.

I digress

(these are real)

I like to wear them on my head :)


NSFW!!

this should sneak by the censors

I don't know, I think it's much less you can do about learning to sing well than loose weight. Genetics are involved in both, but what I was refering to was the action itself, walking vs. citing poetry, tossing roses and singing.
People loose weight all the time, even the most unlikelly ones. But how many people can sing, really? Most people would resort to bad pickuplines as it requires zero talent and that's about as much talent most people have (atleast in related areas).
There are no lonely men?
