If this is eye level, I'm Helen Keller. Wah. Posted by Hello

Some of you might wonder; “Why does Jenni have a picture of her ta-tas on her blog?" Others may say “It’s about damn time Jenni has a picture of her ta-tas on her blog. In all honesty, the reason for the photo is to ask this question: Why do men feel somehow obligated to stare at your chest when you speak to them?
All day long I had to dodge blatant glances at my chest. That’s right, I said blatant. Guys, it’s obvious and no, the cough as you look down does NOT mask the fact that you’re trying to cop a glance at our boobs, nice try.

And it wouldn’t be so bad if I weren’t working. It’s a little unsettling when someone you see on a regular basis is staring directly at your nae naes. Talk about awkward. Maybe it’s the fact that we’re just getting out of “turtle neck” season and it’s like the baseball opener, you just have to see it. Or maybe it’s just that I somehow surround myself with raging perverts on a daily basis. Nonetheless, it’s not very pleasant. I would rather have them say “Hey Jen, nice tits,” than have them dance around the subject like a freaky little circus clown. At least then it would be a little less awkward.

JEN!!! I have to say this now that you brought it up. I hate to even put this out in cyberspace, but remember the department I worked in when you were in CA? Remember the boss, the big guy? Yeah him. He not only blatantly stares at my breasts every time I walk in his office, but I have to sit down each time, because if I don't, he openly stares right at my crotch!!! EVERY TIME!!! It's like a known phenomenon in the office. Gross.
And in what we do, of course they stare at our chests! Such a 'good old boys club.' And maybe that's why you kick ass every month! But whatever works. :)

Charlie: It's no consolation, but thanks anyway.
Steph: HA! I know exactly who you're talking about and was also "visually violated" by the same man. Try sitting across the dinner table from him for an hour with "Frisco"...shit.
Madison: I'm glad I could oblige, and yes there is "skank" in the title, not necessarily for me though, but thanks for the vote of confidence ;)
Betelgeuse: Ok FINE! I have been guilty of a little crotch glance now and then, but not as often as the guy/boob thing. Sometimes you just can't help it. Like at my friends cabin there is this guy that runs the general store that we've so appropriately named "Big Dick Lannie." He's about 56, smokes 5 packs a day and wears tight jeans that show off his stuff. Scarry...

So true, one the summer clothes come out men act like horn-dogs...LOL

Okay, the crotch-glance is definite retaliation to the tit-stare. Yes, guys, we understand that they're RIGHT THERE. But at least try to be subtle about it. Not like the guy I used to work with who, on the first nice spring day on which I wore a lower-cut v-neck top to work, said, "Its reasons like these that I love this weather," while staring at my chest.
Then again, like my (now female) boss said at a party, "Its not like you can hide them."

first of all, i just gotta say... first time here, and i'm greeting with rack? dude, it's a sign!

ok now. seriously, i like looking at a rack just like any other straight guy. but when i'm talking to someone? holy crap, it's rude as shit to ogle someone you're talking to. really. totally disrespectful.

don't get me wrong, now. i've been known to ogle, too. but i try not to be so obviously rude about it, yanno?

Nice, er..."pics" (our internet is filtered and monitored at work, so I need to tread carefully)

Personally, I'm a crotch guy too. I'm also only 5'7", so if you're wearing heels and I'm trying to make eye contact without thinking too much about it, I'll be looking deeply into your headlights. Then when you look away I'll be checking out the crotch....sorry, can't help it; it's who I am!

You have tits? I was looking at your darling Tiffany floating heart.

Oh, wait, now I see them. Yes, they look very fun. I see your tan line, too. Ah, thanks for drawing my attention to them. It was pleasurable.

BBQ Junkie said...

rob, i don't believe the necklace to be tiffany's. at most, it may be tiffany's "inspired".

John S. said...

Is it possible that a share of guys are simply looking down? Guys tend not to look each other in the eyes, either - so maybe on some occasions it looks more awkward than others.

Ehm, or maybe not.

Rob Lowe: You said darling...damn you're gay.
Danika: Just because I wear a cute dress that may be slightly lower cut than other cute dresses doesn't make the ogling any more appropriate...you know that! I still love that dress, I'm just no longer wearing it ANYWHERE around clients. Hey, maybe we could wear them out together this weekend and take candid gawking photos...

Jenni said...

Listen here Big Lu, the necklace is not "Tiffany inspired," I'm not that pretentious. It's just a horseshoe for good luck.

Tim said...

I'd write something in response to what you wrote, but I didn't read it because I was staring at your chest the whole time.

Jenni said...

Not to self: No more revealing pictures on blog...

low-cut tops generally create some interest in that department. that's why i usually opt for higher necklines when at work :)
