OHGrandma Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hehehe, the tone of this whole thread reminded me of an interview I saw a long time ago with Elvira. Remember Elvira http://www.elvira.com/home_2.html ? Anyway, the interviewer commented about how her dresses seemed to be cut lower and lower each year. She responded with something like, 'well darling, it's because my cleavage keeps getting lower and lower each year!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria from IN Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think some of us have a different definition of cleavage than others.....a V neck t shirt is by no means "cleavage" IMO. Cleavage= boobies up on a shelf and a big wide scoop neckline where half of them are sitting out for show..... Exactly. And why do some women purposely throw them out there to gawk at? I don't know, but I can't help thinking that I can't tell if they're coming or going! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiana Daniels Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think butt cleavage is worse. Oy! Feel the draft, my friends...feel the draft. Anyhoo, while I appreciate modesty, I understand some women seriously can't help it. It's fairly obvious, though, when someone is needing extra attention. Maybe they feel it's the only thing attractive about them? Hard to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think butt cleavage is worse. Oy! Feel the draft, my friends...feel the draft. . Butt cleavage! I have that! Not real cleavage, but I do have that other cleavage, and I show it off because my low cut jean are 2 sizes smaller than my high cute jeans and WAYYYY more comfy. Situps would help, but low cut jeans are easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I'm kind of confused. In a thread a little bit ago about breastfeeding there was this whole "breasts are NOT sexual, they serve a higher purpose, so if you see my breast while I am breastfeeding my child and think sexual thoughts that is YOUR problem and you need to get over it" sentiment. And now we have a thread about how the slim space between a woman's breasts is too sexually seductive and we need to cover it up? I thought breasts were not sexual, they served a higher purpose? Or is it the nipple part is not sexual but the cleavage part is? Or they are not sexual while you are breastfeeding but any other time they are? If it is acceptable/normal/beautiful for a woman to breastfeed in public and not worry about whether or not her breast is showing then I don't see why cleavage would be an issue either. Just seems a little contradictory to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIch elle Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 I'm with you, Michelle! I have it but won't show it. I try on lots of tops that I don't buy, but I find plenty that are stylish while also being comfortably in between choking and cleavage. Editing to say that it's interesting to read the different perspectives here -- from "cause I want to (just a little)" to "if it shows it shows -- not going to worry" to a few like me who purposely draw the (neck) line just before cleavage! I have it to show but will NOT! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 I don't have cleavage, but I notice that when I wake up, the vertical wrinkles on my breastplate take a long time to disappear now that I am older and sagging all over. You know, from sleeping on my side and my arms and gravity squishing everything together? These are as close I come to cleavage. :D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIch elle Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 I'll answer this if you are seriously asking. A small amt of cleavage can be feminine; like a v-neck shirt or even a scoop neck some times. Books hanging out is, well, tacky. I do not look good with some of the higher necklines - they just don't work with my face. So, the lower necklines are just that - lower. Nothing protruding, no bra showing, and, in my unfortuante case, nothing anyone feels the need to avert thier eyes from.;) Some women just tend to over do it. :iagree::iagree::iagree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I ever stated that breasts weren't sexual, but I did post that there is nothing sexual about BF & yes, if it turns you on it's your problem. I stand by that & I'm not sure how this relates to showing cleavage for the sake of it.

Impish Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Maybe someone told them they look nice in what they are wearing.Or maybe they feel pretty or attractive in it and didn't think of the cleavage issue. :iagree: I can't believe anyone can actually think that breasts are not sexual......ask any man what he thinks, LOL! Personally, I don't care what every man thinks...just the one I'm married to, lol! As pointed out, there are men that find a well endowed woman in a gi distracting...and that is everything to do with THEM, not the woman in question. Seriously, I'm a J cup. No, that's not a typo. There isn't a shirt made that I don't have cleavage/noticeable BooKs in. And I cannot STAND anything against my throat, I literally start to have a panic attack. Any tshirt, etc I own ends up stretched out at the neck from constant pulling on the front of the neckline so I feel like I can breathe. Then there are the other times that I absolutely DO purposely wear low cut :drool: tops or dresses, because I'm going out with my husband, and he loves to see me wearing something that shows some cleavage, something a bit sexy...Wife Wear instead of Mom Wear, if that makes sense. No, not cut down to my navel, but at my size, cleavage is noticeable, especially when its a shirt or dress meant to show it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrrh Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) Beth Moore nailed this one in her study of Esther (which I'm in the midst of): "Keep your breasts to yourselves!" was my favorite line from that portion of her talk on modesty, insecurity, and trying to get other women's husbands to look at you. She also said there are two kinds of women (besides the rest of us): those who want everyone to think they're beautiful and those who want men to think they're beautiful--the second type she called "dangerous." I don't how any woman who calls herself a Christian and has read Every Man's Battle can dress in revealing or tight clothing in good conscience--that book was a wake-up call to me and lifechanging for my husband. Dressing in revealing or body hugging clothing is in total violation of what the Bible says about not causing others to stumble (not blaming women for men's lust, but as sisters in Christ, we have a responsibility to our brothers) as well as the Biblical teaching for women to be modest. The bottom line, though, that Beth pointed out is that women who dress to get men to look at them are not understanding their worth/value in God's eyes. So, like everything else, it's a heart issue, but it manifests on the outside. (if anyone wants to see the videos, they can be downloaded on Lifeway's Beth Moore store for $4.99 or the audio on iTunes for $3.99.

My answer to the original question of "why do women show cleavage" is simply "why not". If you don't like to look at it, just as with breast-feeding mamas....then don't. Some gals like to show it off and some can't help it, but it simply shouldn't matter: Your booKs=Your choice / Their booKs=Their choice.

jujsky Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Honest answer from a short, well-endowed, non-Christian woman with a ton of v-neck shirts? We have boobs. They're beautiful things and a sign of femininity. I don't have many years left before they're too droopy to show off anymore, so I'll show my cleavage while it's still worth showing, and if people have a problem with it they don't have to look. I look much better with a little (or sometimes a lot) of cleavage showing than I do with a shirt up to my neck. Some people may look at it as an attention thing, but I look at it as a self-confidence thing. I feel more confident when I feel attractive, and I feel more attractive when I look feminine. Most high-necked, loose-fitting shirts hang off me like circus tents due to wide shoulders, the size of my girls, and my short stature. Form fitting, lower-cut shirts look better on me and make me feel more attractive and confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this is a big deal. I don't dress with the idea of provoking, just of looking nice, cleavage is incidental. I am also very, very, very pro-breastfeeding.
