I wear tank tops under my shirt to cover cleavage. Mine are huge, and I don’t like the attention they bring.

Same here. And a turtle neck just makes them look that much bigger anyways. I'm also not ashamed or uncomfortable of my big boobs, so you all just have to deal with my cleavage.

And I am menopausal, so if I don't wear a v neck, I get too hot.

Stop looking.

It is hard to not look. And older cleavage can still be appealing.

There are women where the only visually appealing aspect of their appearance was their cleavage. No doubt that distraction/misdirection was the goal.

Bald men often have beards. Misdirection?

Nobody wants to see your menopausal flapjacks. Buy a more breathable fabric with a higher neckline.

DH once pulled my shirt down to show it in public when we were having trouble getting served in a bar....bar tender ran right over!

But OP do you actually think people try to look nice for "head games" ??!! You might have serious issues. Should my DH always wear a hat over his great hair so bald guys don't get hurt feelings?

Damn, don't say that!! That makes me sad. I'm sure you have other good features.

My MIL is 70 and still does this. It is repugnant. It has been for the 33 years I have been married to her son. She was only ever know for her "beauty" and never had a job. So that is what she hangs onto...sadly those days are way gone!

By the way, I would have had the same reaction to a guy that showed up to the interview with his shirt unbuttoned to the breastbone and exposed chest hair.

Save that for date night.

I have to agree. Last candidate who showed up for an executive level job before a board I'm on had cleavage on display (and not "my boobs are so big I can't help it" cleavage). I voted no.

If a man rejected a female candidate because of her appearance, there would be outrage, he would be called sexist and probably be fired.

Maybe so, if he were to speak of it. But when you are a senior exec and the face of your company or organization in public, overtly sexy is not the right look. (In most fields, anyway.) Someone who is lacking that awareness gives me huge doubts about her judgment/professionalism.

It's trashy in my opinion unless you're fat. Fatties get a hallpass. It usually makes them look a lot better!

Actually, smaller one she are way more comfortable and dressing is easier.

I wish I could give you a cup size and go back to being the C I was for years. Menopause isn't kind.

I've got very nice boobs, according to my DH, and I enjoy showing cleavage at the appropriate time but at work isn't one of them. Showing a little is fine so it forces the imagination to work. Showing a lot just makes you look cheap.

I'm a woman & I'm really not understanding the prevalence of the "to show other women what they don't have/to make others jealous" comments. I've honestly never known anyone like that. Plus, there actually are other women out there who like cleavage too, not just men.

PS - earlier there was a comment like "Can't have it both ways, feminists." Hey bruh, tell that to a bisexual feminist. We are having it both ways, and it's awesome.

No. If a man treated a junior staff member differently because she showed cleveage at work, it would be frowned upon. But most men- and most senior women- don’t think bare breasts are a look that commands respect. It’s not about accepting the female form. I’m a senior woman and the one that posted this. At work, having more skin covered is correlated with having more power. Men are mostly covered, so this isn’t an issue of subjugation.

Not all women want to be in the corner office.
