modesty, so whats the point?
« on: March 06, 2013, 08:23:36 AM »
i took my daughter to a chinese restaurant yesterday.  we were waited on by a buxom young woman wearing a somewhat revealing sweater.  the part i couldn't help but notice (no, not those parts  ;/)  was that every time she was serving, or approached by a customer, she would cover her cleavage with her free hand.  so ladies, what's the point?  why would a woman go to the trouble of picking out an outfit if she seems uncomfortable wearing it?

*shrug* probably put it on that morning, got to work and then somebody pointed out how reveling it really was.

Just because I dress all provocative doesn't mean you get to look  :rofl:
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

The only time I've caught myself doing that is after I've noticed that the baby has pulled on my shirt while nursing. A few tugs fixes the problem.

As to the revealing sweater, I'm kind of shocked a waitress would wear a sweater. With the amount of food and spilled drinks that a waitress would get on her clothes, a sweater would be the last thing I would've worn (back when I was a waitress). I did, though, wear a sweater when I was the hostess (the greeter/leads you to your seats/takes payment). The manager also wore sweaters. Makes me wonder if she wasn't the waitress but filling in for someone else.

This is in the same category as wearing short skirts and constantly tugging them down, or wearing strapless dresses and constantly tugging them up on the sides. Both are really annoying to me.

I always figured the women were wearing the attire to show off for just the right type of guy, and had to adjust it for everybody else.

Kind of like the ones that wear something with words across the ads, and then get offended when you read the billboard.

I'm more befuddled by the women that wear low cut pants and not quite long enough blouses  :O

At a restaurant in town here the other day the waitress was wearing the lowest cut in the front pants I've ever seen.  How low you ask?  There was razor stubble 1" over the (below the) waistband.

I was referring to the "other cleavage" seen when she bends over or sits down.

This I give a little slack. Those types of clothes just don't always STAY where it's supposed to stay, and a lot of times you don't always figure that out until you've had it on a few hours.

I've never done strapless. I figure with my inabilty to pay attention to what I look like makes strapless tops a bad idea. I can always wash off the eyemakeup when I turn myself into a raccon and I always wear panties, so short skirt fax pas are slavagable, but I can't figure out how I would manage to redeem dropping my top.

Oh, and I got an explaination for that too.

When it isn't intentional it's usually a case of manufacture fault and people trying to fit clothes that don't fit.

See, a lot of womans tops are still cut for the old style of pants that rise to the waist. But then low cut jeans came into style which evolved into multiple rises for the waistband. Now, most companies have a varity of waistlines and most of the conservative companies have switched to "natural" waist, which is still lower then the old style.

Unfortunatly shirts have not quite caught up with the trend. Some companies do manufacture shirts designed longer, but a lot have not (and some have basic shirts that come in multiple lengths to match the jeans) so those shirts arn't long enough to cover up whats been exposed by the lowered pants line.

Second, shirt sizes generally don't take varied chest size into account. So, unless your bust matches your size or is smaller then your size, the front of your shirts ride up higher in the front. <-- this is my curse. It sucks.

They make double sided "fasion" tape for securing such styles.
However, I have a feeling I'd need duck tape to actually keep stuff where it needs to be.

Assuming reasonably toned belly, i actually like that look.  Might be a generational thing.

Quit wearing them, then.  Sheesh...

If the server is wearing the required uniform, I would cut her some slack.  Otherwise, I would be all eyes.  That is what they want.  But what they really want is selective adulation not general adulation.  They are exhibiting the same mating behavior that women have been using for ages.
