How Much Cleavage Would You Show?
I asked my friend Natasha if we could use her photo to start a discussion. (She inspired this post). Here she is:
Now some may feel more comfortable with showing no cleavage ever. Others may feel comfortable with just a half inch showing. While others may consider more.
Guys, how much cleavage are you comfortable with your wife/girlfriend showing?
Ladies, how much cleavage are you comfortable showing?
Comments (123)
Depends on the situation. At work, or when relaxing at home or friends’ places, I don’t show much cleavage. If me & the hubby are out somewhere, I’ll show a lot more. Not as much as Natasha (awesome photo, btw) but maybe 80% there.
I wish I had cleavage
I like showing as much cleavage as possible.
I’m pretty comfortable with my body, so I wouldn’t mind showing as much as your friend. But as a mom, you need to set an example and I try not shos much at all these days.
I’ve seen a plumber show off his butt cleavage. Where does that rank?
I don’t show any.
I wore a dress two months ago that had a little bit of cleavage, and even then I felt so exposed lol. My wardrobe is pretty conservative and no cleavage.
I am just going to stop wearing shirts and bras and run around singing “Do your boobs hang low”.
I show them when I need them, sometimes they do make life easier..
getting a table at a restaurant, being served at a crowded bar, a job interview, easily bring me from a 5/10 to a 7/10 on a date haha…
I hide them when I take the kid out haha.
I don’t have any and I don’t think I would feel comfortable showing any, either.
I don’t like to show so much that my nipples are falling out but otherwise I don’t care, and my boyfriend wouldn’t tell me not to wear, he knows better than to pull shit like that.
For the vast majority of my life, the answer to this question would have been zero. Historically, I’ve never been comfortable showing cleavage or showing off my body in any way.
Over the past 2 years or so, I’ve become a bit more comfortable with my body and the attention I receive from looking good. Natasha is showing a bit more than I’m comfortable with showing, but I’ll definitely bare a little cleavage. And of course only when it is appropriate to do so.
I’m ok with a little as long as the situation is appropriate. Sometimes I find myself being ogled (surreptitiously, of course) at work and it makes me feel self-conscious. But on a date it would be ok, as long as it wasn’t the FIRST date.
If I had cleavage..
I usually don’t show any, it never really enters my mind. I don’t care enough.
I don’t have a lot of cleavage to show, but I just started being more comfortable with showing off what I have. I think I’d be willing to show off a lot now. But “a lot” isn’t really descriptive of what I have.
I usually show that much, if not more.
It depends on the event. Usually very little to none is showing while at work, grocery shopping, etc. Going out with my husband, a little. Going out, just the girls, a lot more, but not nearly as much as Natasha’s. Any top that requires me to tuck them back a bit every few minutes, is too much for me. My husband actually doesn’t mind that I wear low cut clothing…but maybe because he knows I am not comfortable showing that much and that I won’t.
I have big breasts, cleaveage would look trashy on me, so I don’t wear any.
I’m pretty sure I’d never do such a thing. However, even if I considered it, people would probably pay me to cover up my soggy flapjacks.
Traditionally i show a lot( way bottom downed shirts). Because I am not very big if my nipples do not show I never drew to much attention
depends, if I’m in a bathing suit and in a place where everyone else is in bathing suits, I don’t mind showing some. If I’m out on a date with my boyfriend or going out, I don’t mind showing some.
but on a daily basis, just out and about for class and stuff? no.
and at any of my jobs? no because I work with kids. and I plan on being a teacher, so that’s a no, too!
I feel comfortable showing cleavage when appropriate. When I’m with my boyfriend or out with the girls, I’ll let it peek out and say hello! Your friend is apparently in a costume, which I think is an event which condones a little more than usual. At work, VERY little if any. When I’m with my family, same thing. Its no something I need to show off to feel beautiful, but I’ll be honest, I do feel slightly more confident with a little cleavage.
Totally situational for me. Job = none, just hanging out/relaxing = probably none, but I’m not wearing a turtleneck, either, out with the girls = some (like 40 – 50%), out with the fiance (or in with the fiance, for that matter) = more than just some (maybe 60 – 75%).
as long as you can’t see the nipple…
I tend to defer to my wife’s judgment on the subject matter. I’ve never found myself in the situation where I felt her cleavage was inappropriate.
none bc i have no boobs and im not ruining my band shirts
Depends on the occasion. A full line, half a line, half an inch, or nothing.
I don’t have cleavage.
Yes, cuz I like to make the boys either cry or look stupid. haha Just kidding, maybe… (Love her hair!!!)
Work: I would show the top part and maybe half way down my chest depending how well my shirt holds.
Out: I show about half way to 80%.
i don’t hide anything :p
That’s more than I ever would. Agree with the “situational” comment. I hardly wear anything that draws to much attention because guys, there is a lot more to love than just boobs and ass. But I don’t care if people show more, do whatever you want.
As long as the nipples aren’t out, it’s all good.
V necks for the win. I can’t let my lady win.
What cleavage? All I have is sag.
I dont have a problem with cleavage but I DO have a problem with being ‘oogled’
So……..not much
welp, don’t have cleavage.
Eh, I’m not much of a cleavage person, though I do have a little, lol. I prefer to show off the shape of my body, and my legs.
cleavage being the line your boobs make when squished together? i have no cleavage. which works to my advantage, i can and do wear some pretty low-cut tops
I consider my boobs one of my only attractive physical qualities, so if I was trying to look sexy…like if I went to a bar next year or something, I’d probably show a good amount. I did in high school haha…but normally I just wear tops and assume people will notice my boobs are big without obvious cleavage. I think, like, 32494902 tons of cleavage is kind of nasty.There is a point where it just becomes a lot of fat again…like, maybe over DD or DDD it’s just rolls.
For decency sake not more than one centimeter.
I’m pretty comfortable with myself and my body, and don’t feel the need to show anything of that sort ever. I’d rather get things the hard way then perhaps exposing myself to get them the easier way because of the attention it attracts. =)
I don’t care, as long as my boobs look perky.
I’ve got a 34A cup so…not much to show! I don’t really see the problem with cleavage. Cleavage =/= slut, so I guess it’s all up to the woman showing it.
Tell ur friend Natasha that she stole my name!! >:
28G I have cleavage in a turtle neck -.-
Fully clothed boobs get my blood boiling. Cleavage makes me stare and sweat and other glandular things.
In certain places, cleavage is really inappropriate, such as the work place. but then again… It really matters on what your job is. After all if your a stripper I dont think you really have a limit on cleavage. Personally, I don’t mind showing cleavage. A little, A lot… doesn’t matter much so long as my tits aren’t hanging out.
Then again, if you spent a lot of time around kids its probably best if you keep your puppies tucked away. After all… if a woman came over my my son and bent down to say hello, I wouldn’t appreciate it if her boobs popped out to join the conversation.
If I had any cleavage I probably would. I have b-cups boobs, so I’d have to tape them togather to get cleavage, and that’s not a cool look for anybody.
“Dude, check out that…TAPE! POINT AND LAUGH!”
I can leave my shirt buttoned quite low without showing cleavage so I guess I have a lot of leeway.
Very rarely. I’ll leave the cleavage to the guys with their pants hanging below their crack.
I’ve shown as much as her, sometimes a little more. It’s hard to hid my breast.
Just a teensy bit.
My husband doesn’t like me to show any. I don’t mind showing some, but I’m kind of old to be letting it all hang out.
I usually show cleavage when I’m tired of people looking at my eyes
I try to keep it to a minimum, but when you have big boobs, it’s pretty tough to do all the time…
I show as much man-boob as I can… though it doesn’t seem to get me anywhere other than a few court appearances and restraining orders…
as much as realistically possible. i like to intimidate my students.
What they all said ^ ^ ^
It depends on the circumstances.
Depending on the occasion – if it’s Halloween then my girls say hello to the world. If it’s work or meeting boyfriend’s parents then I dress so they know it’s there without seeing too much
i don’t have cleavage right now BUT when i do get cleavage and we’re going out with the kids tits hanging out is a big no no. i hate seeing insane cleavage bearing moms hauling their children around, it’s so tacky and wrong imo. when i get my cleavage (and i will get my cleavage) it will be saved for super special occasions
None, showing cleavage makes me feel awkward
I want to see boobs in real life.
Pretty much none. I was raised pretty strict/conservative, and was taught that men will respect you more if you don’t hang out body parts to garner attention. I don’t think that is always true, since some men will disrespect women no matter what. But how you were raised does somewhat influence you, so I tend to think that a lot of cleavage can reveal a bit of insecurity, or at least makes guys take you less seriously. Since I have a husband who’s crazy about me and gets to see it all, I don’t really need that from other guys.
But I don’t judge girls who show more than I do, or even a lot- I’m not responsible for their choices.
I’m lacking in the boob department so I get excited if I can even find a bra to give me cleavage!
I couldn’t show cleavage if I tried. hahaha.
For me it’s a bit of a challenge as I can wear a turtleneck and still have cleavage. =p I do end up covering up more than I personally want to just because I don’t want to make people uncomfortable. I think it’s very situational.
At church- 2 inches max
Doing mommy stuff- none
Out on the town with my hubby- anything goes
I’m in a chef coat 5 days a week, so when I am able to wear a cute shirt that may show a little cleavage, I take that opportunity!
Well HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Natasha! How you doin?
GOD I love boobs. Why else would I go the Renn faire? Corsets galore!
@leaflesstree - When do you feel it appropriate to show cleavage?
Myself, I was uncomfortable entering my 20s if a young woman showed more than just the start of the cleavage at the top of her blouse. Sure, I was interested. But also ashamed that I was. Now that I am in my late 50s, I still find a little attracting without making me think inappropriate thoughts. My wife and I solved the problem of her having cleavage showing, by adding a scarf across the top of the blouse. Way cool!
@timeformycoffeebreak - Could not leave your comment un-responded to: Yes, the bra can make the difference.
I love to show the cleavage, man. Oh wait, I think I just broke gender lines.
Show whatever you want it’s your bodyhttp://www.dds4u2c.com/
As much as I can get away with without looking like I’m desperately trying to have cleavage to begin with.
Don’t like showing any at all.
Seems indecent.
@pb49r – Mostly if I am out with some friends of the same age. If we are going to a place where there won’t be any “dirty old men,” I am more likely to consider it.
In the summertime, when it’s sweltering hot, I usually just wear a bikini top. If it’s hot enough I don’t care.
I’m with those who say it depends on the situation… and the season. In summer time, I’m probably showing off a bit more than I intend simply because I like tank tops, and most of the ones I like are cut a bit low. I have a corset that is kinda similar to the one in the picture… I have yet to wear it in public, even with the shirt that goes with it.
Just enough to show a bit of cleavage such as the one in my pic, but most of the time I’m covered up.
I don’t really show much cleavage. I usually try not to, really. I get skeeved when I do and everyone cannot seem to find my face. I feel more comfortable covering up.
enough to let ‘em know i’ve got cleavage, and more if i wanna tease
I think if you have them & proud of them, then you should flaunt them. looks won’t last forever so use them while they last.
but with modesty. I am sure your boss wouldn’t appreciate the cleavage you are showing on friday night clubbing event.
that entirely depends on the situation.
As long as my farmer’s tan is not showing, then it’s all good.
My engineering professors showed cleavage all the time. Sometimes I’d show it to my classmates and we’d check it out a lot.
Here is some of the cleavage I’m talking about:
http://tinyurl.com/7tyu4v6
I really don’t care how much cleavage shows. I really don’t. People are going to talk no matter what, so why not give ‘em something to talk about? And I just like the way cleavage looks, ya know?
My actions speak for me. My boobs only speak for me to those who can’t be bothered to understand me. And then I know exactly what sort of person they are.
What’s cleavage?
@heart_leigh - Your picture is perfect, the perfect amount. @Wait_by_Moonlight - Totally right!!!
@QuantumStorm - That’s wrong. That’s just wrong… I’m so disappointed.
@AgainstTheWind1 - What can I say? Engineers love cleavage.
I don’t care. I don’t even think about it for the most part. I wear whatever feels comfortable at the time.
@QuantumStorm - It’s despicable, and you know it, sir! I want my $3.99/minute back.
@AgainstTheWind1 - No refund policy! *Laughs evilly as he gazes greedily at his $3.99-dollar bill*
@QuantumStorm - Now that’s just wrong
… LOL…
@QuantumStorm - I have the last laugh. That $3.99 bill is a counterfeit!!! It’s not a real one!!! buahahaha. SUcker.
I don’t really care, actually. I wear whatever I want, regardless.
@AgainstTheWind1 - LIES!
@MzSilver - Hehehe
Whatever I feel like that day.
I’m a t-shirt kind of girl in public. At home, I’ll wear a spaghetti strap, very low cut shirt.
@QuantumStorm - Alright, just don’t take it to a bank or a convenience store with one of those little pens. I warned ya. The safest thing to do is just give it back to me, in anger, and threaten me to never give you fake currency again. Nods.
@AgainstTheWind1 - Or I could make a little origami boat out of it. If I’m going to take over the world, I’ll need to start building up a Navy for the job…
@Shadowrunner81 - I’m pretty sure it has the same levels of cleavage as boobs do. Hairy=no nice. Too much crack is lethal. A little bit = oh? where is this going?
I don’t really care. It only pisses me off when it’s a teenage girl showing off almost everything. As I get older, teens seem younger and more childlike to me which is why I’m not comfortable with it.
Uuugh! Bum chest!
Most times I won’t show any. It attracts ignorant men.
It gives me creepy feelings to have men stare down at me. They get full of creepy obnoxious energy and they think I’m a brainless animal to be abused by them. They see me as an object with no feelings like something out of National Geographic that’s been dead for four thousand years.
@QuantumStorm - Oddly, I’m reminded of previous episodes of Pinky and the Brain….
I’d call you Brain, but that puts me at the risk of being Pinky…
@QuantumStorm - You’re a naughty girl, calcite.
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried….it is what is hidden that keeps the treasure hunters searching.
What’s cleavage? Is that the St. Pauli girl?
@QuantumStorm - If you hadn’t done that, I would have. Thanks for stepping in while I was at work.
@democrab - Dibs on Halite.
@AgainstTheWind1 - Well it’s better than Dexter and DeeDee, hahaha.
@Nous_Apeiron - Always glad to step in ^_^
I think you ought to ask yourself, what is the point of showing cleavage? To announce to the world you have breasts? We all do. To provoke sexual feelings in other people?
Men are obviously visually stimulated, and when you see a lot of breast, or the boobs squished together to make cleavage, it’s going to make a man think of you sexually. Is that what you want? If it isn’t available, don’t advertise it.
If my wife is showing lots of boob when she is “out with the girls”, is she trying to entice a girl? Is she flirting, looking to get hit on, entertaining the idea of a different sexual partner? Those are the thoughts that run through a married man’s mind…when you are married or in a committed relationship, they (and you) are supposedly off the market, keep ‘em covered up. Or if you decide to flaunt them, then don’t get all pissy when someone checks them out.
Many have made remarks about not having them around little kids…why not? If it’s OK for an adult to see them (and yet adults are more likely to have sexual thoughts about them) but it’s not OK for some little kid to see them (who most likely isn’t thinking sexually anyway) doesn’t make sense.
Many have made remarks about “skeevy old men”, you think older men don’t enjoy seeing a fine pair? Reminds them of when they were young too… besides, would YOU want to look at a 60 year old pair? So if you are going to let them dangle in front of someone your Dad’s age, then don’t get all bitchy when they look, because they will.
Just remember that no matter how hot you are right now, time and gravity take their toll. As does childbirth. There will come a time when you climb out of bed and the twins are pointing at the floor, talking to your navel, and you look in the mirror and realize you are not pretty anymore, and no one wants to look at you, except to keep from bumping into you, or ask to help you across the street.
Reality sucks.
i dont care how much my girl shows. i know i go home to them, she could whip em out ( as long as im their ) and idc. i love looking at them too so the more cleavage, the happier i am.
I would much rather go out naked. Or at lest topless, I lose to much body heat from my legs to go pants free all of the time. Sadly I can’t afford the ticket or the record for walking around naked. I might be come a “sex offender” or something like that.
Also, man tits are fun to play with and men tend to be more willing to let me randomly grab them more than females too.
I don’t have much cleavage, but I show some.
@AncoraImparo - Renn. Faires are cleavage heaven! I’m in shock when I see a woman with a corset that makes her cleavage a full out table!
@The_Pyrate_Wenches_Ramblings - oh it’s such a joyous occasion. I would definitely have a feast on that table.
i usually show alot unless its cold.
I do not mind how much cleavage my girlfriend shows as long as the nipple does not show and it is in taste with the enviroment we are going into. But it is all up to her.
First off…she is beautiful
Second, I only show a little.
Seeing as how I only have B-size, love wearing my push-up bras and tank tops….lol I just like showing enough to hint, but not enough that it’s all on display. I have to bend over in my job a lot and I don’t like having to worry about people being able to look all the way down. But I don’t mind showing off a little
